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

SECTION 2.02      Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Initial Notes are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form, without interest coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, provided that Notes may be issued in denominations of less than $2,000 solely to accommodate book-entry positions that have been created by participants of the Depository in denominations of less than $2,000.

SECTION 2.03      Execution and Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer of the Issuer (a) Initial Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 and (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein. Such order shall specify the amount of separate Note certificates to be authenticated, the principal amount of each of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes, the registered Holder of each of the Notes and delivery instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or Appendix A, any issuance of Additional Notes after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 2.04      Registrar and Paying Agent.

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

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

(c)            The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i). The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.

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

SECTION 2.06      Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

SECTION 2.07      Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.07. The Issuer shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or between a Record Date and the relevant Interest Payment Date.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer.

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

SECTION 2.09      Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 14.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

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

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

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

SECTION 2.11      Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date, and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each affected Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

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

SECTION 2.13      Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 14.06 of this Indenture. Any calculation of the Applicable Premium made pursuant to this Indenture or the Notes shall be made by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

SECTION 2.14      Additional Amounts.

(a)            All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Note Guarantors under or with respect to the Notes or with respect to any Note Guarantee shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of (i) any jurisdiction in which the Issuer (including any surviving corporation) is then incorporated, organized or resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision thereof or therein, (ii) any jurisdiction in which the Parent Guarantor is then incorporated, organized or resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision thereof or therein, (iii) any jurisdiction in which any Subsidiary Guarantor is then incorporated, organized or resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision thereof or therein or (iv) any jurisdiction of any Paying Agent or any political subdivision thereof or therein (each of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), a “Tax Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes is then required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Tax Jurisdiction shall at any time be required to be made from any payments made under or with respect to the Notes or with respect to any Note Guarantee, including, without limitation, payments of principal, redemption price, purchase price, interest or premium, the Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding, deduction or imposition shall equal the respective amounts that would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to:

(i)            any taxes that would not have been imposed but for the Holder of a Note or the beneficial owner of a Note having a present or former connection with the Tax Jurisdictions in which such taxes are imposed (including, without limitation, being a citizen or resident or national of, being incorporated in or carrying on a business or maintaining a permanent establishment or physical presence in such Tax Jurisdiction) other than the mere acquisition, holding, enforcement or receipt of payment in respect of such Note or any Note Guarantee;

(ii)            any U.S. federal withholding taxes;

(iii)            [reserved];

(iv)            any taxes that are imposed or withheld as a result of the failure of the Holder of a Note or beneficial owner of a Note to comply with any requirement imposed by law, regulation, administrative practice or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the tax jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner is a party or with any timely reasonable written request, made to such Holder or beneficial owner, by the Issuer or any of the Note Guarantors, in each case, to provide timely and accurate information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such Holder or beneficial owner or an appropriate tax file number, Australian Business Number, or other number or exemption details or to make any valid and timely declaration or similar claim or satisfy any certification, information or other reporting requirement, which is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Tax Jurisdiction as a precondition to any exemption from or reduction in all or part of such taxes to which such Holder or beneficial owner is entitled;

(v)            any Note presented for payment (where Notes are in the form of definitive registered Notes and presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period);

(vi)            any payment of principal or interest on a Note made to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Note;

(vii)            any estate, inheritance, gift, use, sales, excise taxes imposed on the transfer of Notes, transfer, value added, personal property or similar taxes, assessments or other governmental charges;

(viii)            any Note presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder of Notes who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note to another Paying Agent;

(ix)            any taxes payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments under, or with respect to, the Notes or with respect to any Note Guarantee;

(x)            any taxes imposed or withheld by reason of such Holder being an “offshore associate” (as defined in Section 128F(6) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 of Australia (the “Australian Tax Act”)) of the Issuer or any of the Note Guarantors not acting in the capacity of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian, funds manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia;

(xi)            any taxes imposed or withheld by reason of the Australian Commissioner of Taxation giving a notice under section 255 of the Australian Tax Act or section 260-5 of Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 of Australia;

(xii)            any applicable tax required to be withheld or deducted under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor versions of such Sections) (“FATCA”), any regulations or other official guidance thereunder, any intergovernmental agreement or agreement pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code entered into in connection with FATCA, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement; or

(xiii)            any combination of items (i) through (xii) above.

(b)            In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer and the Note Guarantors shall also pay and indemnify, the Trustee, the Paying Agents and the Holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar taxes which are levied by any Tax Jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of any of the Notes, this Indenture, any Note Guarantee, or any other document or instrument referred to therein.

(c)            If the Issuer or any Note Guarantor, as the case may be, becomes aware that it shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes or any Note Guarantee, the Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee on a date that is at least 10 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 10th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts shall be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary and the amount of such payment. Unless and until the Trustee receives such an Officer’s Certificate with respect to Additional Amounts, the Trustee may conclusively and without liability assume that no Additional Amounts are due. The Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor shall provide the Trustee with documentation satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.

(d)            The Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor shall make all withholdings and deductions required by law and shall remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the taxing authority in accordance with applicable law. Upon request, the Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor shall provide to the Trustee an official receipt or, if official receipts are not obtainable, other documentation satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of any taxes so deducted or withheld. Upon request, copies of those receipts or other documentation, as the case may be, shall be made available by the Issuer or relevant Note Guarantor to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes.

(e)            Whenever in this Indenture or the Notes there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest or of any other amount payable under, or with respect to, any of the Notes or Note Guarantee (as the case may be), such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(f)            The above obligations shall survive termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner of its Notes and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor person to the Issuer or any Note Guarantor is incorporated, organized or resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which such person makes any payment on the Notes (or any Note Guarantee) and any political subdivision thereof or therein.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

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

SECTION 3.02      Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

SECTION 3.03      [Reserved].

SECTION 3.04      Redemption for Changes in Taxes. The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (which notice will be irrevocable and given in accordance with the procedures described in this Article III), at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date fixed by the Issuer for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Issuer or any Note Guarantor is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts (but, in the case of a Note Guarantor, only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made with commercially reasonable efforts by the Issuer or another Note Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts), and the Issuer or any Note Guarantor cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking commercially reasonable measures available (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent but not including the substitution of the obligor of the Notes or the incurrence of material out-of-pocket expenses by the Issuer or any Note Guarantor), and the requirement arises as a result of:

(a)            any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations, or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the applicable Tax Jurisdiction affecting taxation which change or amendment has not been publicly announced prior to the Issue Date and which becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction has changed since the Issue Date, the date on which the then current Tax Jurisdiction became the applicable Tax Jurisdiction under this Indenture); or

(b)            any change in, or amendment to, the existing official position or the introduction or pronouncement of an official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice), which change, amendment, application or interpretation has not been publicly announced prior to the Issue Date and which becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction has changed since the Issue Date, the date on which the then current Tax Jurisdiction became the applicable Tax Jurisdiction under this Indenture).

The Issuer will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due, and at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must remain in effect. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing, or delivering electronically if the Notes are held by DTC, of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver the Trustee an opinion of an independent tax expert, such tax expert being a law or accounting firm of recognized standing, to the effect that it has determined that there has been such change or amendment which would entitle the Issuer to redeem the Notes hereunder. In addition, before the Issuer publishes or mails, or delivers electronically if the Notes are held by DTC, notice of redemption of the Notes as described above, it will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that it or the relevant Note Guarantor cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by the Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor taking commercially reasonable measures available to it.

The Trustee shall accept such Officer’s Certificate as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

SECTION 3.05      Applicability of Article. Redemption of Notes at the election of the Issuer or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article III.

SECTION 3.06      Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Note, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (iv) the redemption price, and (v) any conditions precedent to such redemption or notice. The Issuer shall give notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.06 at least five Business Days prior to when notice is due to Holders (or such shorter period as the Trustee shall agree) if the redemption is a redemption pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Note, except that notice may be given to the Trustee more than 60 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is given in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article VIII. The Issuer may also include a request in such Officer’s Certificate that the Trustee give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.08. Any such notice may be canceled if written notice from the Issuer of such cancellation is actually received by the Trustee on the Business Day immediately prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository and shall thereby be void and of no effect. In the case of certificated notes, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.07.

SECTION 3.07      Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of Notes for redemption shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed (and the Issuer shall notify the Trustee of any such listing), or if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or by lot (and, in such manner that complies with the requirements of the Depository, if applicable); provided that no Notes of a minimum denomination of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000. Notes and portions of Notes the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.08      Notice of Optional Redemption.

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

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

(i)            the redemption date;

(ii)            the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date;

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

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

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

(vi)            that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

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

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

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

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

Notice of any redemption upon any corporate transaction or other event (including any Equity Offering, Incurrence of Indebtedness, Change of Control or other transaction) may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof. In addition, any redemption or notice thereof may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a corporate transaction or other event. For the avoidance of doubt, if any redemption date shall be delayed as contemplated by this Section 3.08 and the terms of the applicable notice of redemption, such redemption date as so delayed may occur at any time after the original redemption date set forth in the applicable notice of redemption and after the satisfaction (or waiver) of any applicable conditions precedent, including, without limitation, on a date that is more than 60 days after the date of the applicable notice of redemption. To the extent that the redemption date shall occur on a date other than the original redemption date set forth in the applicable notice of redemption, the Issuer shall notify the Holders and the Trustee of the final redemption date, which redemption date shall accommodate any timing requirements of the Depository then in effect, prior to such date; provided that the failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of any redemption under this Article III.

(b)            At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall deliver the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee of such request at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the date such notice is to be provided to Holders.

SECTION 3.09      Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with Section 3.08, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice, except as provided in the final paragraph of Paragraph 5 of the Note or Section 3.08(a). Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus, in the case of an optional redemption in accordance with Section 3.01, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant Record Date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

SECTION 3.10      Deposit of Redemption Price. With respect to any Notes, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed, unless the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 3.11      Notes Redeemed in Part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Upon surrender and cancellation of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered and cancelled (or if the Note is a Global Note, an adjustment shall be made to the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Note” attached thereto in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository).

(v)            the declaration and payments of dividends or distributions on Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary or Disqualified Stock issued pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that, at the time of payment of such dividend or distribution, no Default has occurred and is continuing (or would result therefrom);

(vii)            the declaration and payment of dividends on account of, or repurchases of, Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor; provided that the total amount of dividends declared and paid pursuant to this Section 4.04(b)(vii) in any calendar year shall not exceed the greater of (x) 2.5% of Market Capitalization and (y) $20.0 million (or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof);

(viii)            repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor to the extent such repurchased Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price thereof or applicable withholding taxes, if any;

(ix)            cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in connection with the exercise of stock options, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor; provided, however, that any such cash payment shall not be for the purpose of evading the limitation of this Section 4.04;

(x)            the payment of any dividend or distribution or redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition of any shares of its Capital Stock (including options, warrants or other rights to acquire such shares of Capital Stock) by a Restricted Subsidiary that it not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary on a pro rata basis;

(xi)            the repayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Obligations or Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount thereof or liquidation preference, as the case may be, in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event pursuant to a provision no more favorable to the Holders thereof than Section 4.08; provided that, prior to the making of any such Restricted Payment pursuant to this Section 4.04(b)(xi), the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer shall have made a Change of Control Offer and repurchased all Notes issued under this Indenture that were validly tendered for payment in connection with the offer to purchase;

(xii)            any consideration, payment, dividend, distribution or other transfer in connection with a Permitted Securitization Financing;

(xiii)            so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing (or would result therefrom), other Restricted Payments so long as, immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the Net Leverage Ratio for the Four Quarter Period immediately preceding such Restricted Payment is not greater than 1.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis; or

(xiv)            so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing (or would result therefrom), other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $30.0 million (or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof).

(c)            Notwithstanding Section 4.04(a) or (b), no Restricted Payment shall be permitted to be made unless, immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis (including the payment of any dividend declared or redemption for which notice has been provided), the Pro Forma Liquidity is equal to or greater than $100.0 million; provided, however, that such Pro Forma Liquidity condition shall not apply to Restricted Payments made in reliance on Section 4.04(b)(iii), (v), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xii).

(d)            In addition, prior to declaring or making any Restricted Payment in reliance on Section 4.04(a) or on Section 4.04(b)(xiii), the Issuer shall commence an offer to repurchase (a “Restricted Payment Offer”) an aggregate principal amount of the Notes equal to the amount of the proposed Restricted Payment to be made in reliance on Section 4.04(a) or on Section 4.04(b)(xiii). Each Restricted Payment Offer shall be made at a price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount thereof) equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). Each Holder shall have the right to decline its pro rata portion of any Restricted Payment Offer (the aggregate principal amount of Notes that decline, the “Declined Amounts”). Any Declined Amounts may be retained by the Parent Guarantor and used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, including the making of Restricted Payments, at any time or from time to time, in reliance on Section 4.04(a) or on Section 4.04(b)(xiii) to the extent permitted thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, no Restricted Payment Offer shall be required to be made with any Declined Amounts that are used, at any time or from time to time, to make any Restricted Payment in reliance on Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b)(xiii).

Example: If the Parent Guarantor proposes to declare or make a Restricted Payment equal to $10.0 million under Section 4.04(b)(xiii), prior to declaring or making such Restricted Payment the Issuer shall commence a Restricted Payment Offer to all Holders on a pro rata basis to repurchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes of $10.0 million at a price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount thereof) equal to 103%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the date of purchase and, (x) to the extent $10.0 million (or more) of Notes are tendered and repurchased in such offer, upon commencement of such Restricted Payment Offer, the Parent Guarantor shall be permitted to make Restricted Payments up to $10.0 million, and (y) to the extent $5.0 million of Notes are tendered and repurchased (and $5.0 million become Declined Amounts), upon commencement of such Restricted Payment Offer, the Parent Guarantor shall be permitted to make Restricted Payments up to $10.0 million and upon such repurchase, the Parent Guarantor shall be permitted to make an additional $5.0 million of Restricted Payments from such Declined Amounts (subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 4.04(b)(xiii) and no Restricted Payment Offer shall be required to be made with respect to Restricted Payments made from Declined Amounts).

(e)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither the Parent Guarantor nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to make any Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary consisting of any Material Leased Real Property, Material Owned Real Property or any material machinery, equipment or intellectual property.

(f)            The amount of any Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The value of any security, property or other assets that are required to be valued by this Section 4.04 shall be the Fair Market Value. The amount of all Restricted Payments in cash shall be its face amount. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar restriction on Restricted Payments, the U.S. dollar-equivalent of a Restricted Payment denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, actually makes such Restricted Payment.

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

(h)            If more Notes are tendered pursuant to a Restricted Payment Offer than the Issuer is required to purchase, selection of such Notes for purchase will be made by the Issuer in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed (and the Issuer shall notify the Trustee of any such listing), or if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, by lot or by such other method as the Issuer deems appropriate (and in such manner as complies with the requirements of the Depository, if applicable); provided that no Notes of a minimum of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part.

Notices of a Restricted Payment Offer shall be mailed by the Issuer by first class mail, postage prepaid, or delivered electronically if held at the Depository, at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder at such Holder’s registered address, with a copy to the Trustee (which notice shall include, among other things set forth in this Indenture, the amount of the Restricted Payment Offer).

If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.

In connection with any Restricted Payment Offer, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder’s registered address, or deliver electronically if held by the Depository, with a copy to the Trustee a notice stating:

(i)            that a Restricted Payment Offer is being made and the aggregate amount of Notes subject to such Restricted Payment Offer and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date);

(ii)            the circumstances and relevant facts about the proposed Restricted Payment necessitating the Issuer to commence such Restricted Payment Offer;

(iii)            the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered electronically); and

(iv)            the instructions determined by the Issuer, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.

Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuer at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. The Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, or if the notes are in definitive form, if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.

On the purchase date, all Notes purchased by the Issuer under this Section 4.04 shall be or caused to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto.

Notes repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to a Restricted Payment Offer will have the status of Notes issued but not outstanding or will be retired and canceled at the option of the Issuer.

At the time the Issuer delivers or causes to be delivered Notes to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Issuer shall also deliver an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.04. A Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Issuer, directly or through an agent (which may be the Trustee), mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.

Prior to any Restricted Payment Offer, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Issuer to make such offer have been complied with.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.04, (a) in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment or any Restricted Investment (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in Section 4.04(b)(i) through (xiv) or is entitled to be made Section 4.04(a), or (b) in the event that any Permitted Investment meets the criteria of more than one of the clauses of such term, then the Parent Guarantor may, in its sole discretion, classify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if made at such later time), such Restricted Payment or any Investment (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.04 or the definition of “Permitted Investment.”

SECTION 4.05      Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a)            The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(i)            pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Capital Stock shall not be deemed to be a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock);

(ii)            pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Note Guarantor;

(iii)            make any loans or advances to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(iv)            sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,

provided that it being understood that (A) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on other Capital Stock; (B) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary; and (C) the provisions contained in documentation governing Indebtedness requiring transactions between or among the Parent Guarantor and any Restricted Subsidiary or between or among any Restricted Subsidiary to be on fair and reasonable terms or on an arm’s length basis, in each case, shall not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction.

(b)            The provisions of Section 4.05(a) shall not apply to any encumbrances or restrictions:

(i)            with respect to existing agreements in effect on the Issue Date, or in the Notes, the Note Guarantees, this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements and any extensions, refinancings, renewals, supplements, amendments or replacements thereof; provided that the encumbrances and restrictions in any such extension, refinancing, renewal, supplement, amendment or replacement are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those encumbrances or restrictions that are then in effect and that are being extended, refinanced, renewed, supplemented, amended or replaced;

(ii)            existing under or by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation, license, concession, approval, decree or order issued by any government or any agency thereof;

(iii)            with respect to any agreement or instrument of a Person acquired, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Guarantor as in effect at the time of such acquisition (to the extent such agreement or instrument was not entered into in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person or the properties or assets of any Person other than the Person, or property and assets of the Person, so acquired, and any extensions, refinancings, renewals, supplements, amendments or replacements thereof; provided that the encumbrances and restrictions in any such extension, refinancing, renewal, supplement, amendment or replacement are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those encumbrances or restrictions that are then in effect and that are being extended, refinanced, renewed, supplemented, amended or replaced;

(iv)            that (A) restrict in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease or license, (B) exist by virtue of any Lien on, or agreement to transfer, option or similar right with respect to, any property or assets of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture or (C) do not relate to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(v)            with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary and imposed pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock of, or property and assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary that is permitted by Section 4.03 and Section 4.06;

(vi)            existing with respect to any Unrestricted Subsidiary or the property or assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary that is designated as a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture at the time of such designation and not incurred in contemplation of such designation, which encumbrances or restrictions are not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such Subsidiary or its subsidiaries or the property or assets of such Subsidiary or its subsidiaries, and any extensions, refinancings, renewals, supplements or amendments or replacements thereof; provided that the encumbrances and restrictions in any such extension, refinancing, renewal, supplement, amendment or replacement, taken as a whole, are no more restrictive in any material respect than those encumbrances or restrictions that are then in effect and that are being extended, refinanced, renewed, supplemented, amended or replaced;

(vii)            imposed pursuant to any Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive in any material respect, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being Refinanced;

(viii)            restrictions on cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, investment grade securities or other deposits or net worth imposed by insurers, sureties, bonding companies, customers or suppliers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(ix)            arising from provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements if, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, the encumbrances or restrictions are (i) customary for such types of agreements and (ii) would not, at the time agreed to, be expected to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to make required payments on the Notes;

(x)            with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary and imposed pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the Incurrence of Indebtedness permitted under Section 4.03 if, as determined by the Board of Directors, the encumbrances or restrictions (A) are customary for such type of agreement and (B) would not, at the time agreed to, be expected to materially and adversely affect the ability to make required payments on the Notes; or

(xi)            any encumbrances or restrictions contained in any Permitted Securitization Document with respect to any Special Purpose Securitization Subsidiary.

SECTION 4.06      Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock.

(a)            The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless:

(x) the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Parent Guarantor at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) (including the value of all non-cash consideration) of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition; and

(y) at least 75% of the consideration thereof received by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Temporary Cash Investments or Replacement Assets.

The following shall in each case be deemed to be Temporary Cash Investments for the purposes of this Section 4.06(a):

(i)            The assumption or discharge of Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor (other than obligations in respect of Disqualified Stock of the Parent Guarantor) or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than obligations in respect of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor) or other obligations or liabilities as shown on the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet or the notes thereto;

(ii)            securities, notes or other similar obligations received by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Temporary Cash Investments within 180 days of their receipt to the extent of the cash or Temporary Cash Investments received in that conversion; and

(iii)            any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.06(a)(iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $25.0 million (or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof) and (y) 2.5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

(b)            Within 365 days of the receipt of any Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition, the Parent Guarantor (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply an amount equal to such Net Available Cash, at its option:

(i)            to the extent such Net Available Cash is from an Asset Disposition of Collateral:

(1)            if the assets subject to such Asset Disposition constitute ABL Priority Collateral, to reduce the outstanding principal amount of ABL Lien Obligations;

(2)            if the assets subject to such Asset Disposition constitute Notes Priority Collateral, to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Priority Lien Debt; provided, however, that in the case of this Section 4.06(b)(i)(2), the Parent Guarantor shall, equally and ratably with the reduction of any other Priority Lien Debt, reduce the principal amount of Notes outstanding, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof or, in the event that the Notes were issued with original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) or through redemption, or shall offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below in Section 4.06(c)(i)) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event that the Notes were issued with original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption or purchase and thereon up to a principal amount which, if the offer were accepted, would result in such reduction (it being understood that any portion of such Net Available Cash used to make an offer to purchase Notes shall be deemed to have permanently reduced the principal amount of Notes outstanding that were the subject of the offer whether or not such offer is accepted);

(3)            to acquire Replacement Assets that are or that become Collateral; provided that a binding commitment to invest in Replacement Assets shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment so long as the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Available Cash shall be applied to satisfy such commitment within 270 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and such Net Available Cash is actually applied in such manner within the later of 365 days from the consummation of the Asset Disposition and 270 days from the date of the Acceptable Commitment, and in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Available Cash is applied in connection therewith, the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 270 days of such cancellation or termination and such Net Available Cash is actually applied in such manner within 270 days from the date of the Second Commitment, it being understood that if a Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds; and/or

(4)            to make a Collateral Proceeds Offer (as defined below);

(ii)            to the extent such Net Available Cash is from an Asset Disposition of assets not constituting Collateral:

(1)            to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Permitted Indebtedness Incurred pursuant Section 4.03(b)(i);

(2)            to reduce the outstanding principal amount of any other Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes or a Note Guarantee; provided, however, that in the case of this Section 4.06(b)(ii)(2), the Parent Guarantor shall equally and ratably reduce the principal amount of Notes outstanding, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof or, in the event that the Notes were issued with original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) or through redemption, or shall offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below in Section 4.06(c)(ii)) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event that the Notes were issued with original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption or purchase and thereon up to a principal amount which, if the offer were accepted, would result in such reduction (it being understood that any portion of such Net Available Cash used to make an offer to purchase Notes shall be deemed to have permanently reduced the principal amount of Notes outstanding that were the subject of the offer whether or not such offer is accepted);

(3)            to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than Indebtedness owed to the Parent Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor);

(4)            to acquire Replacement Assets; provided that a binding commitment to invest in Replacement Assets shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of an Acceptable Commitment and such Net Available Cash is actually applied in such manner within the later of 365 days from the consummation of the Asset Disposition and 270 days from the date of the Acceptable Commitment, and in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Available Cash is applied in connection therewith, the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into a Second Commitment within 270 days of such cancellation or termination and such Net Available Cash is actually applied in such manner within 270 days from the date of the Second Commitment, it being understood that if a Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds; and/or

(5)            to make a Proceeds Offer (as defined below); provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(i)(1), (ii)(1) or (ii)(3), the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary shall permanently retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased.

Pending application of Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 4.06, such Net Available Cash may be applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit indebtedness or otherwise invested in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c)            (i) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions of Collateral that is not applied in accordance with Section 4.06(b)(i) shall constitute “Collateral Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million (or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof), within 30 days thereof, the Parent Guarantor shall make an offer (a “Collateral Proceeds Offer”) to the Holders of the Notes (and, to the extent required or permitted by the terms of any Priority Lien Debt, to all holders of such other Priority Lien Debt outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor to make an offer to purchase or redeem such other Priority Lien Debt with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (and such Priority Lien Debt) that may be purchased with such Collateral Excess Proceeds pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in this Indenture. The Parent Guarantor shall purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an offer by the Parent Guarantor for the Notes (and such Priority Lien Debt) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such Priority Lien Debt was issued with original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase (or, in respect of such Priority Lien Debt, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Priority Lien Debt) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of over subscription) set forth in this Indenture. If the aggregate purchase price of the securities tendered exceeds the Net Available Cash allotted to their purchase, the Parent Guarantor shall select the securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis or in accordance with DTC procedures but in round denominations, which in the case of the Notes shall be minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount or any greater integral multiple of $1,000. Upon completion of such Collateral Proceeds Offer, the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(ii)            Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions of assets not constituting Collateral that is not applied in accordance with Section 4.06(b)(ii) shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million (or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof), within 30 days thereof, the Parent Guarantor shall make an offer (a “Proceeds Offer”) to the Holders of the Notes (and, to the extent required by the terms of other Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor that is pari passu with the Notes or a Note Guarantee, to all holders of such other pari passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor to make an offer to purchase or redeem such pari passu Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (and such pari passu Indebtedness) that may be purchased with such Excess Proceeds pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in this Indenture. The Parent Guarantor shall purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an offer by the Parent Guarantor for the Notes (and such pari passu Indebtedness) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such pari passu Indebtedness was issued with original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase (or, in respect of such pari passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such pari passu Indebtedness) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of over subscription) set forth in this Indenture. If the aggregate purchase price of the securities tendered exceeds the Net Available Cash allotted to their purchase, the Parent Guarantor shall select the securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis or in accordance with DTC procedures but in round denominations, which in the case of the Notes shall be minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount or any greater integral multiple of $1,000. Upon completion of such Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(d)            The Parent Guarantor shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of an Asset Disposition. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Section described hereunder, the Parent Guarantor shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Section described hereunder by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(e)            In connection with a Collateral Proceeds Offer or Proceeds Offer, as applicable, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Available Cash from the Asset Disposition pursuant to which such Collateral Proceeds Offer or Proceeds Offer, as applicable, is being made and (iii) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(b). On the Collateral Proceeds Offer or Proceeds Offer purchase date, as applicable, the Issuer shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the applicable Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Collateral Proceeds Offer or Proceeds Offer purchase price, as applicable, to be paid in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.06. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Collateral Proceeds Offer or Proceeds Offer, as applicable, remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Issuer. The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price. In the event that the Collateral Proceeds Offer or Proceeds Offer purchase price, as applicable, delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee or the applicable tender agent are greater than the purchase price of the Notes tendered, the Trustee or the applicable tender agent shall deliver the excess to the Issuer immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section 4.06.

(f)            Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender such Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuer at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. If at the end of the Offer Period more Priority Lien Obligations are tendered pursuant to a Collateral Proceeds Offer or Proceeds Offer, as applicable, than the Issuer is required to purchase, selection of such Priority Lien Obligations for purchase shall be made by the Issuer in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed (and the Issuer shall notify the Trustee of any such listing), or if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, by lot or by such other method as the Issuer deems appropriate (and in such manner as complies with the requirements of the Depository, if applicable); provided that no Notes of a minimum of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part. Selection of such other Priority Lien Obligations (other than the Notes) shall be made pursuant to the terms of such other Priority Lien Obligations.

(g)            Notices of a Collateral Proceeds Offer or Proceeds Offer, as applicable, shall be mailed by the Issuer by first class mail, postage prepaid, or delivered electronically if held by the Depository, at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s registered address, with a copy to the Trustee. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.

(h)            If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Collateral Proceeds Offer or Proceeds Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Collateral Proceeds Offer or Proceeds Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party (with the approval of the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor) will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, given not more than 30 days following such tender offer expiration date, to the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee), given not more than 10 days following such purchase pursuant to the Collateral Proceeds Offer or Proceeds Offer, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Any such redemption shall be effected pursuant to Article III.

(viii)         any transaction with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor) which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Person or solely because the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary has the right to designate one or more members of the Board of Directors or similar governing body of such Person;

(ix)           the issuance or sale of any Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor;

(xv)          transactions undertaken in good faith (as certified by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Parent Guarantor in an Officer’s Certificate) for the purpose of improving the consolidated tax efficiency of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and not for the purpose of circumventing any covenant set forth in this Indenture or the Security Documents;

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

(i)              that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date);

(ii)             the transaction or transactions constituting such Change of Control Triggering Event;

(iii)            the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, or delivered electronically if the Notes are held by DTC); and

The Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, or in the case of definitive notes, if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.

(d)            On the purchase date, all Notes purchased by the Issuer under this Section 4.08 shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto.

(e)            Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Triggering Event if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Indenture for all outstanding Notes as described in Article III, unless there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price or the redemption is not consummated due to a failure of a condition precedent contained in the applicable redemption notice to be satisfied. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and conditioned upon such Change of Control Triggering Event.

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

A Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Issuer, directly or through an agent (which may be the Trustee), mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.

(h)            Prior to any Change of Control Offer, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that (i) such offer is authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Issuer to make such offer have been complied with.

(i)            The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Section described hereunder, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Section described hereunder by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(j)            If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party (with the approval of the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor) will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, given not more than 30 days following such tender offer expiration date, to the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee), given not more than 10 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

SECTION 4.10        Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture, the Security Agreement, the Australian Security Agreement and any other Priority Lien Security Document.

SECTION 4.11        Future Subsidiary Guarantors.

(a)            The Parent Guarantor shall cause (i) each Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer) that guarantees or becomes a borrower or issuer under any ABL Debt, Priority Lien Obligations, Future Priority Lien Indebtedness or Junior Lien Obligations and (ii) each Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer or an Exempted Subsidiary) that guarantees any other Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee Agreement (and with such documentation relating thereto as required under the Security Agreement or any other Priority Lien Security Document or as the Trustee may reasonably require, including an Officer’s Certificate and Opinions of Counsel as to the enforceability of such Guarantee Agreement), pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor and a Grantor.

(b)            In the event that after the Issue Date, the Parent Guarantor is required to cause a Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11(a) (such Restricted Subsidiary, a “New Subsidiary Guarantor”), the Parent Guarantor shall, and shall cause the New Subsidiary Guarantor and each other Subsidiary Guarantor to, take all such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments, agreements, amendments to the Security Documents, certificates, mortgages, deeds of trust, financing statements and opinions (including joinders to the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents as are contemplated by the terms thereof) as are required by the terms of the Security Documents (including under Section 4.11 of the Security Agreement) to vest in the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee a perfected security interest in the Collateral owned by such New Subsidiary Guarantor, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to the Collateral of such New Subsidiary Guarantor to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

(c)            In addition, upon the acquisition by the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any After-Acquired Property or upon any change, event or other happening pursuant to or as a result of which, any Excluded Asset no longer constitutes an Excluded Asset, the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, security instruments, financing statements and certificates and opinions of counsel (of scope and substance substantially similar to the Issue Date opinions, or as otherwise agreed) as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee a perfected security interest in such After-Acquired Property and to have such After-Acquired Property added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such After-Acquired Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

SECTION 4.12        Limitation on Liens.

(a)            The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien on any Collateral of any nature whatsoever on any of its properties or assets, whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, other than Permitted Liens.

(b)            The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) of any nature whatsoever on any of its property or assets (including Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary) that is not Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (an “Initial Lien”), without effectively providing that the Notes, or in the case of an Initial Lien on any property or assets of any Note Guarantor, the Note Guarantee of such Note Guarantor, shall (together with, if the Parent Guarantor shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured by a Lien on the same assets for so long as such obligations are so secured.

(c)            Any such Lien on assets or property not constituting Collateral created in favor of the Notes or any such Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.12(b) shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) the release and discharge of each Initial Lien to which it relates, (ii) the repayment in full of the Notes, (iii) in the case of any such Lien in favor of any such Note Guarantee, upon the release, or termination and discharge, of such Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, (iv) the Issuer’s exercise of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option as described under Section 8.01(b) or the satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture or (v) any sale, exchange or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor of the property or assets secured by such Initial Lien.

SECTION 4.13        Limitation on Lines of Business. The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to engage in any business other than a Related Business.

SECTION 4.14        [Reserved].

SECTION 4.15        Maintenance of Office or Agency.

(a)            The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 14.02.

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

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

SECTION 4.16        Covenant Suspension. If on any date following the Issue Date (a) the Notes are rated Investment Grade by both of the Rating Agencies and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, beginning on that day (a “Covenant Suspension Date”) and subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.11 (but only with respect to any Person that is required to become a Note Guarantor after the applicable Covenant Suspension Date), 4.13 and 5.01(a)(iii) and 5.01(b)(iii) shall be suspended (the “Suspended Covenants”):

During any period that the foregoing covenants are suspended, the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

In the event that the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) any Rating Agency no longer rates the Notes as Investment Grade, then the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period with respect to any Suspended Covenant). The Issuer shall provide the Trustee with written notice of each Covenant Suspension Date or Reversion Date within five Business Days of the occurrence thereof. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, determine whether a Covenant Suspension Date or Reversion Date has occurred or provide notice to the holders of the Notes or any other Person of any such Covenant Suspension Date or Reversion Date. On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred and Disqualified Stock issued during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(iv) and the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero. Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 shall be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a).

In addition, for purposes of Section 4.07, all agreements and arrangements entered into by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary with an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date shall be deemed to have been entered into on or prior to the date of this Indenture and for purposes of Section 4.05, all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant shall be deemed to have been existing as of the date of this Indenture.

SECTION 4.17        Creation and Perfection of Certain Security Interests After the Issue Date.

The Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts or Commercially Reasonable Efforts for Real Property, as applicable, to create and perfect, to the extent required by the Priority Lien Security Documents, on the Issue Date the security interests in the Collateral for the benefit of the Holders, but to the extent any such security interest is not created or perfected, the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts or Commercially Reasonable Efforts for Real Property, as applicable, to do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required pursuant to the Priority Lien Security Documents, including obtaining any required consents from third parties (subject to the standard set forth in Commercially Reasonable Efforts for Real Property), to have all security interests in the Collateral duly created and enforceable and perfected, to the extent required by the Priority Lien Security Documents within 180 days following the Issue Date. Except to the extent set forth above in this Section 4.17 and as otherwise provided under Article XIII, failure to obtain such consents and create and perfect a security interest in such Collateral to the extent required shall constitute an Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Section 4.17 to Collateral do not include Excluded Assets.

SECTION 4.18        Financial Calculations for Specified Transactions.

When calculating the availability under any basket, ratio or financial metric under this Indenture (including the absence of Defaults or Events of Default), in each case in connection with (a) a Limited Condition Acquisition, (b) the Incurrence of or repayment, redemption, repurchase or refinancing of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof, (c) the creation of Liens, (d) the making of any Asset Disposition or any disposition excluded from the definition of “Asset Disposition,” (e) the making of any Investment (including any acquisition) or Restricted Payment, (f) the designation of a Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted, (g) any other transaction or plan undertaken or proposed to be undertaken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition or any transaction set forth in clauses (b) through (f) or (h) any other purpose under this Indenture (the transactions referred to in clauses (a) through (h), collectively, the “Specified Transactions,” and each, a “Specified Transaction”) and any actions or transactions related thereto, the date of determination of such basket, ratio or financial metric or whether any such Specified Transaction is permitted (or any requirement or condition therefor is complied with or satisfied (including as to the absence of any Default or Event of Default)) may, at the option of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor any of the Parent Guarantor’s Restricted Subsidiaries or any successor entity of any of the foregoing (the “Testing Party”) (which election may be made on or prior to the date of consummation of such Specified Transaction), be the date the definitive agreements for such Specified Transaction are entered into (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of a binding offer or launch of a “certain funds” tender offer), the date of declaration of a Restricted Payment or similar event, the date of the announcement of such Specified Transaction, or the date that a notice, which may be conditional, of repayment or redemption in connection with a repayment, redemption, repurchase or refinancing of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is given to the holders of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock or the date that an Officer’s Certificate is given with respect to the designation of a Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted (any such date, the “Transaction Test Date”) and such baskets, ratios or financial metrics shall be calculated with such pro forma adjustments as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definitions of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Net Leverage Ratio, Net Secured Leverage Ratio and Net Priority Lien Leverage Ratio, after giving effect to such Specified Transactions and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence of Liens, repayments, Restricted Payments and Asset Dispositions) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable measurement period for purposes of determining the ability to consummate any such Specified Transaction, and, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such baskets, ratios or financial metrics are exceeded or are not complied with as a result of fluctuations in such basket, ratio or related financial metrics (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Fixed Charges, Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated EBITDA of the Parent Guarantor, the target company or the Person that is otherwise the subject of the Specified Transaction after the applicable Transaction Test Date) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Specified Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto, such baskets, ratios or financial metrics will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations and (y) such baskets, ratios or financial metrics shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Specified Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto except as contemplated in clause (a) of the immediately succeeding proviso; provided, however, that (a) if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available, the Testing Party may elect, in its sole discretion, to redetermine all such ratios, tests, baskets or financial metrics on the basis of such financial statements, in which case such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable Transaction Test Date for purposes of such ratios, tests, baskets or financial metrics, (b) if any ratios or financial metrics improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios, financial metrics or baskets may be utilized, (c) if the Testing Party elects to have such determinations occur on the Transaction Test Date, any such transactions (including the Specified Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto) shall be deemed to have occurred on the Transaction Test Date and to be outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any baskets, ratios or financial metrics under the indenture after the Transaction Test Date and before the consummation of such Specified Transaction unless and until such Specified Transaction has been abandoned, as determined by the Testing Party, prior to the consummation thereof, and (d) Consolidated Interest Expense for purposes of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated using an assumed interest rate based on the indicative interest margin, as reasonably determined by the Testing Party in good faith. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Testing Party has exercised its option pursuant to the foregoing and any Default or Event of Default occurs in connection with the applicable Specified Transaction following the Transaction Test Date (including any new Transaction Test Date) for the applicable Specified Transaction and prior to or on the date of the consummation of such Specified Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action that has been taken or that is being taken in connection with such Specified Transaction was or is permitted under this Indenture.

The Trustee shall not be responsible, or have any liability, for the calculation of any basket, ratio or financial metric under this Indenture or compliance with any provision of this Indenture in connection with any Specified Transaction or any actions or transactions related thereto.

SECTION 6.02        Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h)) occurs and is continuing and of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer (with a copy to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders), may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) above occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

SECTION 6.03        Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of, the Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture (subject to each of the Intercreditor Agreements). The Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.04        Waiver of Past Defaults; Rescission of Acceleration. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer and to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee may on behalf of all the Holders waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if: (a) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all amount due to the Trustee and Notes Priority Collateral Trustee that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; and (b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon such waiver, the Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.05        Control by Majority. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which it is not adequately indemnified, or subject to Section 7.01, or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holders not joining in the giving of such direction (provided, that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to determine whether any such direction is unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction) and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders. In addition, the Trustee shall not be required to expend its own funds in following such direction if it does not believe that reimbursement or indemnification satisfactory to it is assured to it.

SECTION 6.06        Limitation on Suits.

(a)            A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture or the Notes, unless:

(i)            the Holder has previously given a Responsible Officer of the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

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

(iii)            such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(iv)            the Trustee does not comply with the request within (x) 60 days after receipt of the written request pursuant to Section 6.06(a)(ii) above or (y) 60 days after the receipt of the offer of security or indemnity pursuant to Section 6.06(a)(iii) above, whichever occurs later; and

(v)            during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

provided, such limitations do not apply to the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on such Note or any payment under any Note Guarantee, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.07        Contractual Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Note held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates thereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

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

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

SECTION 6.10        Priorities. Subject in any event to the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Stanwell Intercreditor Deed and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

(a)            The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Security Documents to which it is a party. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs under the same circumstances.

(b)            Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)            the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee (it being agreed that the permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty); and

(ii)            in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the form requirements of this Indenture. The Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation as to any statement contained in any such instance, but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statement or the correctness of such opinions. However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall examine the form of certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the form requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c)            The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i)             this Section 7.01(c) does not limit the effect of Section 7.01(b);

(ii)            the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iv)           the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture or the Priority Lien Security Documents unless the Trustee has been offered (and if requested has been provided with) security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or exposure which may be incurred by it in connection therewith; and

(v)            no provision of this Indenture or the Priority Lien Security Documents shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

(d)            Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to Section 7.01(a), (b) and (c).

(g)            Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture and the Priority Lien Security Documents relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01.

SECTION 7.02        Rights of Trustee.

In accepting the trust hereby created, the Trustee acts solely as Trustee under this Indenture and not in its individual capacity and all persons, including without limitation the holders of Notes and the Issuer having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Indenture shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder for payment except as otherwise provided herein.

SECTION 7.05        Notice of Default. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, mail, or deliver electronically if held by the Depository, to each Holder of the Notes notice of the Default within the later of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after written notice of it is received by a Responsible Officer. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute a Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

SECTION 7.06        Reserved.

SECTION 7.07        Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer and the Note Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee from time to time compensation agreed in writing between the Issuer and the Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee for the Trustee’s and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee’s acceptance of this Indenture and their respective services hereunder and under the Priority Lien Security Documents, as applicable. The Trustee’s and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer and the Note Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee upon request for all reasonable expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer and the Note Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee or any predecessor Trustee or predecessor Priority Lien Collateral Trustee and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee, as the case may be)) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder or under the Priority Lien Security Documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture, Subsidiary Guarantee or any Priority Lien Security Document against the Issuer or any Note Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Note Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The Trustee or Priority Lien Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer, or any Note Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuer and such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no actual or potential conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Note Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense. In such case, the Issuer shall not enter into any settlement with respect to a claim without such indemnified parties’ prior written consent (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that such written consent shall not be required if such settlement: (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense Incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct and gross negligence (or in the case of the Trustee, negligence) (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order).

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

The Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, payment in full or defeasance of the Notes, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee or the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee or the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee, as applicable, incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses (including the fees, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee’s agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

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

“Trustee” for purposes of this Section 7.07 shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that in the case of the Trustee, negligence (or in the case of the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee, the gross negligence) or willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee or Priority Lien Collateral Trustee hereunder.

The successor Trustee shall mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance with the procedures of the Depository) a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.

(b)            Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture with respect to the Holders (“Legal Defeasance option”), and (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11, 4.12, 4.15 and 4.16, Section 5.01(a)(iii) and (b)(iii), Section 6.01(c) with respect to Section 5.01(a) and 5.01(b) and with respect to the other events set forth in such clause, Section 6.01(d) with respect to such other covenants, and Sections 6.01(e), (f), (g) and (h) (“Covenant Defeasance option”) shall be deemed not to be Events of Default upon, among other things, the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee, in trust, of cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof that through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes on the Stated Maturity of such payments in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes, the satisfaction of the provisions described in Section 8.01(a)(ii) and the delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing with respect to U.S. federal income tax matters to the effect that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance of certain covenants and Events of Default and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred.

In the event the Issuer exercises its option to omit compliance with certain covenants and provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Notes as described in this Section 8.01(b) and the Notes are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of an Event of Default that remains applicable, the amount of cash in U.S. dollars and/or U.S. Government Obligations on deposit with the Trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the Notes at the time of their Stated Maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the Notes at the time of the acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. However, the Issuer and the Note Guarantors shall remain liable for such payments.

(c)            Notwithstanding Section 8.01(a) and (b), the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08 and 2.09 and Article VII, including, without limitation, Sections 7.07 and 7.08 and in this Article VIII and the rights and indemnities of the Trustee under this Indenture shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 7.08, 8.05 and 8.06 and the rights, protections, privileges, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

SECTION 8.02        Conditions to Defeasance. The Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and shall be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Notes on the 183rd day after the deposit referred to below, and the provisions of this Indenture will no longer be in effect with respect to the Notes (except for, among other matters, certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the Notes, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated Notes, to maintain paying agencies, to indemnify the Trustee and to hold monies for payment in trust) if, among other things:

(a)            the Issuer (i) has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof that through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes on the Stated Maturity of such payments in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel or a certificate of an internationally recognized firm of independent accountants to the effect that the amount deposited by the Issuer is sufficient to provide payment for the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on, the Notes on the Stated Maturity of such payment in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders have a valid, perfected, exclusive Lien over such trust;

(b)            the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing with respect to U.S. federal income tax matters stating that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case, to the effect that the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Issuer’s exercise of its option under this Section 8.02 and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

(c)            the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by it with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other of its creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other of its creditors or others;

(d)            immediately after giving effect to such deposit on a pro forma basis, no Event of Default, or event that after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the 183rd day after the date of such deposit, and such defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Parent Guarantor or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Parent Guarantor or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is bound; and

(e)            the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to such defeasance and discharge have been satisfied.

In the case of either discharge or defeasance of the Notes, each of the Subsidiary Guarantees, and any Liens pertaining to such Subsidiary Guarantees, will terminate and be released.

SECTION 8.03        Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations (including proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. The Trustee shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes so discharged or defeased.

SECTION 8.04        Repayment to Issuer. Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII that, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if U.S. Government Obligations have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article VIII.

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

SECTION 8.05        Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.

SECTION 8.06        Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, or interest on, any such Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determine, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and, upon written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer, the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.05        Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee.

GUARANTEE

SECTION 12.01        Note Guarantees.

(a)            Each Note Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior secured basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder, to the Trustee and to the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture, the Notes and the Priority Lien Security Documents, whether for payment of principal of premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or other amounts owed by the Issuer under this Indenture, the Notes and the Priority Lien Security Documents (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Note Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from any Note Guarantor, and that each Note Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article XII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(b)            Each Note Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Note Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder, the Trustee or the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes, the Priority Lien Security Documents or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Notes, the Priority Lien Security Documents or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, the Priority Lien Security Documents or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder, the Trustee or the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or each Subsidiary Guarantor; (v) the failure of any Holder, the Trustee or the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of each Subsidiary Guarantor, except as provided in Section 12.02(b). Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Note Guarantors such that such Note Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed.

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

(d)            Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder, the Trustee or the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(e)            The Note Guarantee of each Note Guarantor is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article XII, equal in right of payment to all existing and future Priority Lien Obligations and all other senior Indebtedness of such Note Guarantor (including the ABL Lien Obligations), senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of such Note Guarantor.

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

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

(h)            In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder, the Trustee or the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee has at law or in equity against any Note Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Note Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders, the Trustee or the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuer to the Holders, the Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee.

(i)            Each Note Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Note Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of the Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VI, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Note Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 12.01.

(j)            Each Note Guarantor also agree to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee, the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 12.01.

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

SECTION 12.02        Limitation on Liability.

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

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

(i)             upon repayment in full of the Notes;

(ii)            in connection with any sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer (including by merger or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor after which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary if the sale of such Capital Stock complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents;

(iii)           upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent permitted by this Indenture;

TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL NOTE]

9.250% Senior Secured Note Due 2029

Coronado Finance Pty Ltd, a proprietary limited company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia (such entity, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture, hereinafter referred to, being herein called, the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuer shall pay interest semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing April 1, 2025. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from October 2, 2024, until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on March 15 or September 15 (each a “Record Date”) immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender Notes to the Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The Issuer shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States of America if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

Initially, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee under the Indenture (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar upon written notice to such Paying Agent or registrar and to the Trustee. The Issuer or any of its domestically incorporated Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of October 2, 2024 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Coronado Global Resources Inc. (the “Parent Guarantor”), the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto from time to time, the Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee. Capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Indenture, unless otherwise indicated. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms and provisions. If and to the extent that any provision of the Notes limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Indenture, such provision of the Indenture shall control.

The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer. This Note is one of the Initial Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, Incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of certain capital stock of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or Incur Liens and make Asset Disposition. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and each Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property.

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors have unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Parent Guarantor’s Parent Guarantee and any Subsidiary Guarantor that executes a Subsidiary Guarantee will unconditionally guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior secured basis, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

On and after October 1, 2026, the Issuer will be entitled at its option on one or more occasions to redeem all or a portion of the Notes upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders, at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption date) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on October 1 of the years set forth below:

In addition, any time prior to October 1, 2026, the Issuer will be entitled at its option on one or more occasions to redeem the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) originally issued at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 109.250%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), with the Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings by the Parent Guarantor; provided, however, that:

Prior to October 1, 2026, the Issuer will be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). Notice of such redemption must be delivered to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date.

The Issuer will have the right to redeem the Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), following the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event or Proceeds Offer if at least 90% of the Notes outstanding prior to such Change of Control Triggering Event or Proceeds Offer are purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Proceeds Offer with respect to such Change of Control Triggering Event or Proceeds Offer.

The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (which notice will be irrevocable and given in accordance with the procedures described in this paragraph 7), at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date fixed by the Issuer for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Issuer or any Note Guarantor is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts (but, in the case of a Note Guarantor, only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made with commercially reasonable efforts by the Issuer or another Note Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts), and the Issuer or any Note Guarantor cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking commercially reasonable measures available (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent but not including the substitution of the obligor of the Notes or the incurrence of material out-of-pocket expenses by the Issuer or any Note Guarantor), and the requirement arises as a result of:

The Issuer will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due, and at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must remain in effect. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing, or delivering electronically if the Notes are held by DTC, of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver the Trustee an opinion of an independent tax expert, such tax expert being a law or accounting firm of recognized standing, to the effect that it has determined that there has been such change or amendment which would entitle the Issuer to redeem the Notes hereunder. In addition, before the Issuer publishes or mails, or delivers electronically if the Notes are held by DTC, notice of redemption of the Notes as described above, it will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that it or the relevant Note Guarantor cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by the Issuer or the relevant Note Guarantor taking commercially reasonable measures available to it.

The Trustee shall accept such Officer’s Certificate as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

The Issuer will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Notices of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address (with a copy to the Trustee) or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), except that redemption notices may be mailed or otherwise delivered more than 60 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article VIII thereof.

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after such redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Notes are in registered form, without interest coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, provided that Notes may be issued in denominations of less than $2,000 solely to accommodate book-entry positions that have been created by participants of the DTC in denominations of less than $2,000. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of the Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Notes to be redeemed or between a Record Date and the relevant Interest Payment Date.

The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, the Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

Subject to certain conditions, the Issuer at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Security Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Trust Agreement, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee may amend the Indenture (including the Subsidiary Guarantees), the Notes, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement and/or the other Priority Lien Security Documents without notice to or the consent of any Holder: (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect, omission or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with the provisions described under Section 5.01; (iii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Priority Lien Collateral Trustee, as applicable; (iv) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture; (v) in any other case where a supplemental indenture to the Indenture is required or permitted to be entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture without the consent of any Holder; (vi) to effect any changes to the Indenture in a manner necessary to comply with the procedures of the relevant clearing system; (vii) to add any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantee or release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any Subsidiary Guarantee as provided or permitted by the terms of the Indenture; (viii) make, complete or confirm any grant of or pledge of or security interest in any Collateral permitted or required by the Indenture, any of the Security Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement, or any release of Collateral permitted or required to be released pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, any of the Security Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement; (ix) to add to the covenants of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Note Guarantor; (x) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes; (xi) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to the corresponding provision of the “Description of the Notes” of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the Description of the Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements; (xii) to make any other change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder; (xiii) to secure additional extensions of credit and add additional secured creditors holding other Priority Lien Debt or Junior Lien Debt so long as such Priority Lien Debt or Junior Lien Debt is permitted by the provisions of the Indenture and any other then-existing Priority Lien Debt; or (xiv) to add or designate additional assets as Collateral, or to grant any pledge or security interest therein.

In addition, without the consent of the holders of at least 66⅔% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), no amendment, supplement or waiver may (1) have the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Priority Lien Security Documents (except as permitted by the terms of the Indenture, the Priority Lien Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements) or changing or altering the priority of the security interests of the Holders of the Notes in the Collateral under the Intercreditor Agreements, (2) make any change in the Priority Lien Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or the provisions in the Indenture dealing with the application of proceeds of the Collateral that would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes or (3) modify the Priority Lien Security Documents or the provisions of the Indenture dealing with Collateral in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Priority Lien Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h)) occurs and is continuing and of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders), may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) above occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, neither the Trustee nor the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee and the Priority Lien Collateral Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under the Indenture or the Notes, unless: (i) the Holder has previously given a Responsible Officer of the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (iii) such Holder or Holders offer (and if so request, provide) the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such request; (iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within (x) 60 days after receipt of the written request pursuant to clause (ii) above or (y) 60 days after the receipt of the offer of indemnity pursuant to clause (iii) above, whichever occurs later; and (v) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request; provided, such limitations do not apply to the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on such Note or any payment under any Note Guarantee, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or, if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which it is not adequately indemnified, or subject to Section 7.01 of the Indenture, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against all losses, expenses, and liabilities caused by taking or not taking such action.

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.
