          (a) General. The Second Lien Notes and the Second Lien Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Second Lien Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Second Lien Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Second Lien Notes shall be issued in registered, global form without interest coupons and only shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that Second Lien Notes may be issuable in denominations of less than $1,000 solely to the extent necessary to accommodate book-entry positions created in such amounts by the Depositary.
          The terms and provisions contained in the Second Lien Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Second Lien Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Second Lien Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
          (b) Global Notes. Second Lien Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (and shall include the Global Note Legend and the OID Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Second Lien Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Second Lien Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Second Lien Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Second Lien Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.

37


 

Lien Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Second Lien Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.07 hereof.

Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Legended Regulation S Global Note shall automatically be exchanged for beneficial interests in Unlegended Regulation S Global Notes pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Second Lien Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.
          (d) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Cedel Bank” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

          A Second Lien Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Second Lien Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Second Lien Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.
          The aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Company may, subject to Article Four of this Indenture and applicable law, issue Additional Second Lien Notes under this Indenture, including Exchange Notes; provided that the Second Lien Notes issued on the Closing Date and any such Additional Second Lien Notes shall be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Indenture, the Second Lien Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication

38


 

Order, authenticate Second Lien Notes for original issue in aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order. The Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Second Lien Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Second Lien Notes are to be authenticated.

The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Second Lien Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.

While any such

39


 

default continues, the Second Lien Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Second Lien Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Second Lien Trustee. Upon payment over to the Second Lien Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Second Lien Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Second Lien Notes.

     (vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, facsimile transmission or letter (or such other notice sent in accordance with Applicable Procedures) setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Second Lien Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Second Lien Note purchased;
     (viii) that, if the aggregate amount of Second Lien Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Second Lien Trustee shall, subject in the case of a Repurchase Offer made pursuant to Section 4.10, select the Second Lien Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Second Lien Trustee so that only Second Lien Notes in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and
     (ix) that Holders whose Second Lien Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Second Lien Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Second Lien Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).
          On the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, subject in the case of a Repurchase Offer made pursuant to Section 4.10, accept for payment on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Second Lien Notes (or portions thereof) tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Second Lien Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Second Lien Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Second Lien Notes (or portions thereof) were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.08.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Sections 3.08, 4.10 or 4.14, as the case may be, the Company shall

60


 

comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.08, 4.10 or 4.14 by virtue of such conflict.

     (v) customary non-assignment provisions in contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;
     (vi) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in Section 4.08(a)(iii) hereof;
     (vii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock or all or substantially all of the assets of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;
     (viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in their reasonable and good faith judgment;
     (ix) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred under Section 4.12 hereof that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

Section 4.09. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.
          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue any Disqualified Stock, and the Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and a Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company would have been at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available.
          (b) Section 4.09(a) shall not prohibit any of the following (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):
     (i) the Incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities (including the $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of First Lien Notes issued April 28, 2010), and guarantees relating thereto, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (i) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and the Guarantors thereunder) not to exceed $50.0 million;
     (ii) the Incurrence of Existing Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness described under clause (i), (iii), (vi) or (xv) of this Section 4.09(b)), including guarantees after the Issue Date of Existing Indebtedness;
     (iii) the Incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the existing First Lien Notes and the related note guarantees issued under the First Lien Notes Indenture on June 24, 2009 and any First Lien Notes and related note guarantees issued in exchange therefore in accordance with the registration rights agreement relating to the First Lien Notes;
     (iv) the Incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Indebtedness and Obligations represented by Capital Lease Obligations, Attributable Debt, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case,

69


 

Incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used or useful in the business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (iv), not to exceed the greater of (1) $20.0 million and (2) 3.5% of Total Assets at any time outstanding;
     (v) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be Incurred under Section 4.09(a) or Section 4.09(b)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (x) or (xv);
     (vi) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness or the issuance of Preferred Stock between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:
     (A) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Second Lien Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and
     (B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (vi);
     (vii) the Incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Hedging Obligations, provided that such Hedging Obligations were incurred in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;
     (viii) the guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be Incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09;

70


 

refinance or replace any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (x), not to exceed $10.0 million;
     (xi) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days following its Incurrence;
     (xii) Indebtedness arising in connection with endorsement of instruments for deposit in the ordinary course of business;
     (xiii) customary indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, including title insurance, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, Incurred in connection with the disposition of any assets of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than guarantees Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such assets for the purpose of financing such acquisition) so long as the amount does not exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof in connection with such disposition;
     (xiv) the Incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness to the extent that the net proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to defease or to satisfy and discharge the Second Lien Notes;
     (xv) the Incurrence by the Company or a Guarantor of Indebtedness (including the Second Lien Notes issued on the Issue Date) Incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment (including the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) used in a Permitted Business, in an aggregate amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (xv), not to exceed $75.0 million at any one time outstanding;
     (xvi) the Incurrence by any Foreign Subsidiary of Indebtedness in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10.0 million at any one time outstanding; and
     (xvii) the Incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Capital Lease Obligations Incurred on behalf or otherwise at the behest of a Qualified Customer that directly or indirectly through a similar lease arrangement with the Company pays all costs attributable thereto; provided, however, that both leases have substantially similar terms, including, but not limited to, having the same expiration date, payment and termination provisions; and provided further, however, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall immediately terminate its lease with a Qualified Customer that created the Capital Lease Obligation permitted to be Incurred pursuant to this clause (xvii) upon the termination by such Qualified Customer of its lease with the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary.

71


 

          For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock of Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xvii) of Section 4.09(b) or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner and at any time that complies with this Section 4.09.
          (c) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated by the Company based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated by the Company at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09 will not be deemed to be exceeded with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.
          (d) The Company shall not Incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless such additional Indebtedness is also contractually subordinate in right of payment to the Second Lien Notes on substantially identical terms. The Company shall not permit any Guarantor to Incur any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such Guarantor unless it is contractually subordinate in right of payment to such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor solely by reason of any Liens or guarantees arising or created in respect thereof or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.
Section 4.10. Asset Sales.
          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale of any Collateral unless:
     (i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Collateral sold or otherwise disposed of;

72


 

     (ii) the Fair Market Value is set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Second Lien Trustee;
     (iii) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale of the Collateral by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Permitted Assets constituting Collateral or a combination thereof. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:
     (A) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities, liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Second Lien Notes or any Note Guarantee and liabilities to the extent owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and
     (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that within 180 days are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and
     (iv) the consideration (to the extent they are not Excluded Assets) received from such Asset Sale is concurrently added to the Collateral securing the Second Lien Notes.
          Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Collateral, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds:
     (i) to repay or prepay Priority Lien Debt (and, in the case of revolving loans and other similar obligations, permanently reduce the commitment thereunder);
     (ii) to repay or prepay Junior Lien Debt (other than the Second Lien Notes) (and, in the case of revolving loans and other similar obligations, permanently reduce the commitment thereunder) on a pro rata basis, but only up to an aggregate principal amount equal to such Net Proceeds to be used to repay Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (i) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness to be repaid, prepaid, defeased, redeemed, purchased or otherwise retired and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Junior Lien Debt, based on amounts outstanding on the date of closing of such Asset Sale; provided that the Company uses the remaining Net Proceeds to repay Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (i) to make an offer to purchase (an “Asset Sale Offer”) from the Holders of the Second Lien Notes on a pro rata basis, an aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes equal to such remaining Net Proceeds at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the payment date; or

73


 

     (iii) to make a capital expenditure on Permitted Assets constituting Collateral or acquire Permitted Assets; provided, however, that such assets are concurrently with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Second Lien Notes;
provided that, in the case of clause (ii) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as such commitment requires that such Net Proceeds shall be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment and such commitment is not terminated or abandoned. Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.
          Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph shall constitute “Collateral Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, or, at the Company’s option, earlier, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Second Lien Notes and all holders of other Junior Lien Debt that may be purchased out of the Collateral Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the rights of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest payable on the relevant interest payment date), and shall be payable in cash. If any Collateral Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Collateral Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes and other Junior Lien Debt tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Second Lien Notes and such other Junior Lien Debt shall be purchased on a pro rata basis based upon the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes and the other Junior Lien Debt tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
          (b) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale (other than an Asset Sale of Collateral) unless:
     (i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;
     (ii) the Fair Market Value is set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Second Lien Trustee; and
     (iii) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Permitted Assets or a combination thereof. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:
     (A) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities, liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Second Lien Notes or any Note Guarantee and liabilities to

74


 

the extent owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and
     (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that within 180 days are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.
          Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale (other than an Asset Sale of Collateral) pursuant to Section 4.10(b) above, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds:
     (i) to repay or prepay secured Indebtedness or any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor, in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and, if such Indebtedness is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto,
     (ii) to make a capital expenditure, or
     (iii) to acquire Permitted Assets.
provided that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as such commitment requires that such Net Proceeds shall be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment and such commitment is not terminated or abandoned. Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.
          Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million or earlier at the Company’s option, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Second Lien Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Second Lien Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (including, without limitation, the Holders of the First Lien Notes) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Second Lien Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the rights of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest payable on the relevant interest payment date), and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company shall purchase

75


 

the Second Lien Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates.
          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:
     (i) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company; and
     (ii) the Company delivers to the Second Lien Trustee:
     (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $2.5 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11 and (x) that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company or (y) a copy of an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing; and
     (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.
          (b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a):
     (i) any employment or consulting agreement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary and payments pursuant thereto and the issuance of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) to directors and employees pursuant to stock option or stock ownership plans;
     (ii) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

76


 

     (iii) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns directly, or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;
     (iv) payment of reasonable and customary compensation or fees to any directors, or the execution of customary expense reimbursement, indemnification or similar arrangements with any directors and officers, of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;
     (v) sales or issuances of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company;
     (vi) Permitted Investments (other than pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of Permitted Investments) and Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of Section 4.07 of this Indenture; and
     (vii) transactions pursuant to written agreements entered into or assumed in connection with acquisitions of other businesses with Persons who were not Affiliates prior to such acquisitions and such transactions are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Section 4.12. Liens.
          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien to secure Indebtedness, Obligations in respect thereof or trade payables, on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens; provided that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Liens (in addition to Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness on property or assets that are not Collateral if:
          (a) in the case of any Liens securing Indebtedness that is expressly subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Second Lien Notes, the Second Lien Notes are secured by a Lien on such property or assets that is senior in right of priority to such Liens; and
          (b) in the case of all Liens securing other Indebtedness, the Second Lien Notes are equally and ratably secured by a Lien on such property or assets.
Section 4.13. Business Activities.
          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Permitted Business except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Section 4.14. Offer to Repurchase upon a Change of Control.
          (a) If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Company has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice with respect to all outstanding Second Lien Notes as described in Section 3.07 hereof, each Holder of Second Lien Notes shall have the right to

77


 

require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Second Lien Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer a payment (a “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to not less than 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Second Lien Notes repurchased, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to the Second Lien Trustee and each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Second Lien Notes on the change of control payment date specified in the notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures described in Section 3.08.
          (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company or its designated agent shall, to the extent lawful:
     (i) accept for payment all Second Lien Notes or portions of Second Lien Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
     (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Second Lien Notes or portions of Second Lien Notes properly tendered; and
     (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Second Lien Trustee the Second Lien Notes accepted for purchase together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes or portions of Second Lien Notes being purchased by the Company.
          (c) The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Second Lien Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Second Lien Notes, and the Second Lien Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Second Lien Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Second Lien Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Second Lien Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
          (d) The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Second Lien Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.
          (f) Second Lien Notes repurchased by the Company pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall have the status of Second Lien Notes issued but not outstanding or shall be

78


 

retired and canceled at the option of the Company. Second Lien Notes purchased by a third party pursuant to Section 4.14(e) shall have the status of Second Lien Notes issued and outstanding.
Section 4.15. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.
          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction; provided that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if:
          (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, could have (i) Incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and (ii) Incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof;
          (b) the gross cash proceeds of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the property that is the subject of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction; and
          (c) the transfer of assets in that Sale and Leaseback Transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with, Section 4.10 hereof.
Section 4.16. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
          (a) The Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation; provided that:
     (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated (including any guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary) shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and that such Investment would be permitted under Section 4.07 hereof;
     (ii) any guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof of any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary being so designated shall be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (or both, if applicable) at the time of such designation, and such Incurrence of Indebtedness would be permitted under Section 4.09 hereof; and
     (iii) such Subsidiary does not hold any Liens on any property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof;
provided, further, that such designation shall only be permitted if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Section 4.22. Real Estate.
          (a) On or prior to the Issue Date, or as reasonably practicable after the Issue Date, but in no event later than 120 days after the Issue Date (such time and date, the “Mortgage Closing Date”), the Issuer and the Guarantors will deliver to the Collateral Trustee, with respect to the Initial Mortgaged Property, in each case subject to Section 4.21(c), the following:
          (A) Mortgages, substantially in the form of those executed and delivered in connection with the Company’s First Lien Notes Indenture (with such changes as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee and its counsel to account for local law matters and the substitutions of the beneficiary or mortgagee thereunder) and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee (the “Initial Mortgages”);
          (B) evidence that counterparts of the Initial Mortgages have been duly executed, acknowledged and delivered and are in form suitable for filing or recording in all filing or recording offices that the Collateral Trustee may reasonably deem necessary or reasonably desirable in order to create a valid and subsisting Lien on the property (subject to Liens permitted under the Note Documents) described therein in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the holders of Secured Debt Obligations and that all filing and recording taxes and fees have been paid;
          (C) fully paid American Land Title Association Lender’s Extended Coverage title insurance policies (“Mortgage Policies”) with respect to the Initial Mortgaged Property, substantially in the same form and with the same endorsements (to the extent available at customary rates) as those policies issued in connection with the Original Financing (except to the extent additional endorsements would be customarily provided for similarly situated real property) and in amounts reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Trustee, issued by First American Title Company or title insurers reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Trustee, insuring the Mortgages to be valid and subsisting Liens on the property described therein, free and clear of all defects (including, but not limited to, mechanics’ and materialmen’s Liens) and encumbrances, excepting only Permitted Liens, and providing for such other affirmative insurance (including endorsements for mechanics’ and materialmen’s Liens) as the Collateral Trustee may deem necessary or reasonably desirable;
          (D) to the extent required for issuance of a Mortgage Policy containing customary coverage for survey matters, American Land Title Association/American Congress on Surveying and Mapping form surveys, for which all necessary fees (where applicable) have been paid, and dated no more than 60 days before the day of delivery of the applicable Mortgage (or as of such date as may be required by the issuer of the applicable Mortgage Policy), certified to the Collateral Trustee and the issuer of the Mortgage Policies in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee by a land surveyor duly registered and licensed in the state in which the property described in such survey is located and reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Trustee, showing all buildings and other improvements, the location of any easements noted in the Mortgage Policies, rights of way, building set-back lines and other dimensional regulations (each to

84


 

the extent plottable) and the absence of encroachments, either by such improvements to or on such property, and other defects, which cannot otherwise be insured over in the Mortgage Policies, other than encroachments and other defects reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Trustee;
          (E) evidence of the insurance required by Section 4.21(e) hereof with respect to the Initial Mortgaged Property;
          (F) favorable opinions of local counsel to the Company or the respective Guarantor granting each Initial Mortgage in states in which the real property to be covered by an Initial Mortgage is located, with respect to the enforceability and perfection of the Mortgages and any related fixture filings, each in form no less favorable, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Trustee, than the opinions rendered by such local counsel with respect to the Mortgages executed and delivered in connection with the Original Financing, and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee (including that the relevant mortgagor is validly existing and in good standing, corporate power, due authorization, execution and delivery, no conflicts and no consents); and
          (G) such other consents, agreements and confirmations of lessors and third parties as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably deem necessary, and evidence that all other actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Trustee that are necessary in order to create valid first and subsisting Liens on the property described in the Mortgage has been taken.
          (b) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantors shall only be required to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Leasing Deliverables related to the granting of a Mortgage with respect to leasehold interests in real property subject to this Section 4.22. If, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, the Company or a Guarantor, as the case may be, is unable to obtain the Leasing Deliverables, the leasehold interest shall be considered to be an Excluded Asset hereunder.
Section 4.23. Covenant Suspension.
          (a) Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that:
     (i) the Second Lien Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies; and
     (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture
(together, the “Suspension Conditions”), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, and 5.01(a)(iv) of this Indenture with respect to the Second Lien Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).
          (b) In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of Section 4.23(a) and, on

85


 

any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”), either or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their ratings or downgrade their ratings assigned to the Second Lien Notes below the required Investment Grade Ratings, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants until the Suspension Conditions are again satisfied with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default under this Indenture shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period. During any Suspension Period, the Company may not designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless the Company would have been permitted to designate such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if a Suspension Period had not been in effect for any period.
          (c) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or one of the clauses set forth in 4.09(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or Section 4.09(b), such Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.09(b)(ii). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 shall be made as though Section 4.07 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) and the items specified in subclauses (C)(1) through (C)(5) of Section 4.07(a) shall increase the amount available to be made under Section 4.07(a). For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.10, the amount of Excess Proceeds and Collateral Excess Proceeds shall be deemed to be reset to zero.

     (vi) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final non-appealable judgments (to the extent not paid or covered by insurance provided by a reputable carrier) aggregating in excess of $15.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

          (a) In the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(ix) or Section 6.01(a)(x) hereof, all outstanding Second Lien Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Second Lien Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Notes may declare all the Second Lien Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company specifying the Event of Default. Upon receipt of any such declaration by the Company, the Second Lien Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Notes by written notice to the Second Lien Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.
Section 6.03. Other Remedies.
          (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Second Lien Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, and Additional Interest, if any, with respect to, the Second Lien Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Second Lien Notes or this Indenture.
          (b) The Second Lien Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Second Lien Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Second Lien Trustee or any Holder of a Second Lien Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.
          The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes then outstanding by notice to the Second Lien Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Second Lien Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences

90


 

hereunder except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, premium, if any, or the principal of, the Second Lien Notes.
          (a) The Company shall deliver to the Second Lien Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to any such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver, the Company, the Second Lien Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Second Lien Notes, respectively. This Section 6.04 and Section 9.02 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Second Lien Notes, as permitted by the TIA. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05. Control by Majority.
          The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Second Lien Trustee. However, the Second Lien Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Second Lien Trustee in personal liability, or that the Second Lien Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Second Lien Notes 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 of Second Lien Notes.
Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.
          (a) A Holder of Second Lien Notes may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Second Lien Notes unless:
     (i) the Holder gives the Second Lien Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
     (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Second Lien Notes make a written request to the Second Lien Trustee to pursue the remedy;
     (iii) such Holder or Holders offer the Second Lien Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Second Lien Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;
     (iv) the Second Lien Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and
     (v) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Second Lien Notes do not give the Second Lien Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

91


 

     Such limitations do not apply to the right of any Holder of a Second Lien Note to receive payment of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, such Second Lien Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Second Lien Notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
          (b) A Holder of a Second Lien Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Second Lien Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Second Lien Note.
Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Second Lien Notes to Receive Payment.
          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Second Lien Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, interest on, and Additional Interest, if any, with respect to, the Second Lien Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Second Lien Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Any failure of the Company to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Notes (including Additional Second Lien Notes, if any) may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Second Lien Notes.

     (i) reduce the principal amount of Second Lien Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
     (ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Second Lien Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Second Lien Notes (other than the provisions of Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof);

     (v) make any Second Lien Note payable in currency other than U.S. dollars;

     (viii) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
     (ix) contractually subordinate in right of payment the Second Lien Notes or any Note Guarantee to any other Indebtedness;
     (x) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Second Lien Notes or the Note Guarantees;

     (xii) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.
          In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Document that has the effect of (i) releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Second Lien Notes or (ii) making any changes to the priority of the Liens created under the Security Documents that would adversely affect the Holders of the Second Lien Notes will require the consent of the Holders of at least 662/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes then outstanding.
Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
          Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Second Lien Notes shall be set forth in a document that complies with the TIA as then in effect.
Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
          Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Second Lien Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Second Lien Note and every subsequent Holder of a Second Lien Note or portion of a Second Lien Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Second Lien Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Second Lien Note. However, any such Holder of a Second Lien Note or subsequent Holder of a Second Lien Note may revoke the consent as to its Second Lien Note if the Second Lien Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Second Lien Notes.
          (a) The Second Lien Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Second Lien Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Second Lien Notes may issue and the Second Lien Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Second Lien Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
          (b) Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Second Lien Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06. Second Lien Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.

The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture or Second Lien Note until its Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amendment or supplement or Second Lien Note, the Second Lien Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and the Second Lien Trustee shall be entitled to receive (i) a copy of any Board Resolution passed pursuant to this Section 9.06, and (ii) evidence of any consent of the Holders provided in accordance with Section 9.02.

To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Second Lien Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Eleven, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 11.03. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.
          (a) To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President, its Chief Financial Officer, one of its Senior Vice Presidents, one of its Vice Presidents or one of its Assistant Vice Presidents.

          (d) The delivery of any Second Lien Note by the Second Lien Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
          (e) If required by Section 4.18 hereof, the Company shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to this Indenture and Note Guarantees in accordance with Section 4.18 hereof and this Article Eleven, to the extent applicable.

          (a) A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:
     (i) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
     (ii) either:
     (A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture and its Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Second Lien Trustee; or
     (B) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof.
          (b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance governed by Section 11.04(a)(ii)(A), upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Second Lien Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Second Lien Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Second Lien Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by a Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for a Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Second Lien Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Second Lien Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

117

          (f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Second Lien Note may do so itself with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Second Lien Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

The Company shall pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Second Lien Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Second Lien Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 15, 2011. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, at the interest rate on the Second Lien Notes; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
     2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Second Lien Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Second Lien Notes at the close of business on the record date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Second Lien Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Second Lien Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and to any Holder of Second Lien Notes which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent.

     8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Second Lien Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.
     9. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Second Lien Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Second Lien Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 of the Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Second Lien Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Second Lien Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Second Lien Note, the Indenture or the Second Lien Notes may be amended or supplemented to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder.
     10. Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that together constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Second Lien Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Second Lien Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Notes may declare all the Second Lien Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company specifying the Event of Default. Holders of the Second Lien Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Second Lien Notes except as provided in the Indenture and the Security Documents. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Notes may direct the Second Lien Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Second Lien Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Second Lien Notes notice of any Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes then outstanding by notice to the Second Lien Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Second Lien Notes, rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Indenture, and its consequences, and waive any related existing Default or Event of Default (except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or Additional Interest, if any, premium, if any, or on the principal of the Second Lien Notes) if certain conditions are satisfied.
     11. Second Lien Trustee Dealings with Company. The Second Lien Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Second Lien Trustee.

     12. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, member, manager or partner of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Second Lien Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Second Lien Notes by accepting a Second Lien Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Second Lien Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
     13. Authentication. This Second Lien Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Second Lien Trustee or an authenticating agent.
     14. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes.

     15. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Second Lien Notes and the Second Lien Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Second Lien Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
     16. Guarantee. The Company’s obligations under the Second Lien Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
     17. Collateral. The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Indenture, the Second Lien Notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents.

TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS
          Supplemental Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of _____________, among __________________ (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (or its permitted successor), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (or its permitted successor), as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Second Lien Trustee”).
W I T N E S S E T H
          WHEREAS, the Company and the other Guarantors party thereto have heretofore executed and delivered to the Second Lien Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of November 16, 2010 providing for the issuance of 9.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2013 (the “Second Lien Notes”);
          WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Second Lien Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Second Lien Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note Guarantee”)
          WHEREAS, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary is engaged in a related and mutually interdependent business with the Company and, as a consequence, will derive substantial direct and indirect financial and business advantages and benefits from the Company’s issuance of the Second Lien Notes, as guaranteed by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and each other Guarantor; and
          WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Second Lien Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.
          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Second Lien Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Second Lien Notes as follows:
          1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

E-1


 

          2. Agreement to Guarantee.
     (a) In accordance with the terms of Article Eleven of the Indenture, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, along with all other Guarantors, jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guarantees to each Holder of a Second Lien Note authenticated and delivered by the Second Lien Trustee and to the Second Lien Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Second Lien Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:
               (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Second Lien Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Second Lien Notes, if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Second Lien Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof;
               (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Second Lien Notes or any of such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
     (b) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Second Lien Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Second Lien Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
     (c) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary, subject to Section 6.06 of the Indenture, hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Second Lien Notes and the Indenture.
     (d) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that if any Holder or the Second Lien Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Second Lien Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

E-2


 

     (e) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.
     (f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Second Lien Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.
     (g) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of Holders under the Note Guarantee.
     (h) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary confirms, pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Indenture, that it is the intention of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary that its Note Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee and, to effectuate the foregoing intention, hereby irrevocably agrees that the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article Eleven of the Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
          3. Execution and Delivery. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Note Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee.
          4. Guaranteeing Subsidiary May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.
          (a) A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

E-3


 

the Guarantor) is a corporation or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Second Lien Trustee; or
     (B) such sale or other disposition or consolidation or merger does not violate the provisions of Section 4.10 of the Indenture.
          (b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance governed by Section 4(a)(ii)(A) hereof, upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Second Lien Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Second Lien Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Second Lien Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by a Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for a Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Second Lien Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Second Lien Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
          5. Release.
          (a) A Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee and the Security Documents, and the Collateral owned by such Guarantor shall be automatically released from the Lien under the Security Documents: (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of such Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if such sale or disposition does not violate Section 4.10 of the Indenture and such Guarantor would no longer be a Subsidiary as a result of such sale or other disposition; provided that such Guarantor is released from all Guarantees of any other Indebtedness of the Company or any other Guarantor; (ii) if the Company designates such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or (iii) upon legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Second Lien Notes as permitted under the Indenture. Upon delivery by the Company to the Second Lien Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that one of the foregoing requirements has been satisfied and the conditions to the release of a Guarantor under this Section 5 have been satisfied, the Second Lien Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.
          (b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Second Lien Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article Eleven of the Indenture.
