THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating.

(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the 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 Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibits A hereto. Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

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

A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by two Officers (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes up to the aggregate principal amount stated in paragraph 4 of the Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

- 36 -

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. 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 notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will 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 Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven 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 the Holders of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and under applicable Canadian law). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each

- 43 -

such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

(1) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

(2) the redemption date;

(3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and

(4) the redemption price.

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchase on a pro rata basis unless otherwise required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange requirements.

In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

- 44 -

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, if the Notes are Definitive Notes, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address or, if the Notes are Global Notes, the Company will send or cause to be sent, an electronic notice or redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered electronic address, except that in either case redemption notices may be mailed or sent, as applicable, more than 60 days prior to a 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 Articles 8 or 11 hereof.

The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price;

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

(5) that Definitive Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

- 45 -

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

One Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time after the date hereof, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, and any outstanding fees, expenses or other amounts owing in respect thereof. The Company may redeem Notes only if all Floating Rate Notes then outstanding, if any, are redeemed concurrently under the Floating Rate Notes Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

(b) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 3.10 Mandatory Redemption.

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.11 Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it will follow the procedures specified below.

The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the 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. The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state:

(1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.11 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open;

(2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

- 47 -

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in integral multiples of $1,000 only;

(6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

(7) that Holders will 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, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company will select the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, will be purchased); and

(9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.11. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.11, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.11 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

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

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

- 49 -

(b) All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports.

The Company will at all times comply with TIA §314(a).

(c) If, at any time, the Parent is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Parent will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this covenant with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Parent and the Company will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Parent’s filings for any reason, the Parent will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC.

(d) If the Parent or the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Parent, the Company and their Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Parent.

The Parent and the Company will pay, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(12) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into with the approval of the Parent’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements; and

(13) restrictions on cash, Cash Equivalents or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

(a) The Parent and the Company will not, and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and neither the Parent nor the Company will issue any Disqualified Stock, nor permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock.

- 56 -

(b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(1) the incurrence by the Company and any Guarantor of Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities, which may be senior in right of payment to the Notes, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Parent, the Company and their Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $50.0 million, provided, that, not more than $25.0 million of such Indebtedness at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) shall be term indebtedness;

(2) the incurrence by the Parent, the Company and their Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness (including Indebtedness arising under the Floating Rate Notes, the Unsecured Floating Rate Notes, and the related agreements and instruments);

(3) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the date of this Indenture;

(4) the incurrence by the Parent, the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Parent, the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed $10.0 million at any time outstanding;

(5) Indebtedness of a Subsidiary incurred and outstanding on or prior to the date on which such Subsidiary was acquired by the Parent, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness incurred in contemplation of, or in connection with, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Subsidiary became a Subsidiary of or was otherwise acquired by the Parent, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that for any such Indebtedness outstanding at any time under this clause (5), on the date that such Subsidiary is acquired by the Parent, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, the Parent or the Company would have been able to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to clause (a) above after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (5).

(6) the incurrence by the Parent, the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under clause (a) above or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) or (13) of this Section 4.09(b);

- 57 -

(7) the incurrence by the Parent, the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Parent, the Company and any of the Parent’s Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(A) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the 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 being held by a Person other than the Parent, the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Parent, the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent,

will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (7);

(8) the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company, the Parent or to any of its Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

(A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Parent, the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent; and

(B) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either the Parent, the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent,

will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (8);

(9) the incurrence by the Parent, the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations and cash management obligations in the ordinary course of business;

(10) the guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Parent, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

- 58 -

(11) the incurrence by the Parent, the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, performance and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business;

(12) the incurrence by the Parent, the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five Business Days; and

(13) the incurrence by the Company or the Guarantors of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, not to exceed $35.0 million.

The Parent and the Company will not incur, and will not permit any other Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Parent, the Company or such other Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Parent, the Company or any other Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of holders of secured Indebtedness having entered into inter-creditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the Collateral held by them or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in Sections 4.09(b)(1) through (13) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

- 59 -

The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

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

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

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

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

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

Section 4.10 Asset Sales.

The Parent and the Company will not, and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Parent, 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; and

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or a combination of the foregoing. For purposes of this provision (and not for the purpose of the definition of Net Proceeds) each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A) any liabilities, as shown on the Parent’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Parent, the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 90 days of such Asset Sale by the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

- 60 -

(3) if such Asset Sale involves the transfer of Collateral:

(A) such Asset Sale complies with the applicable provisions of the Collateral Documents; and

(B) to the extent required by the Collateral Documents, all consideration (including Cash Equivalents) received in such Asset Sale shall be expressly made subject to Liens under the Collateral Documents.

Within 180 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Net Proceeds resulting from which causes the Parent, the Company and their Restricted Subsidiaries to have consummated Asset Sales, measured from May 12, 2011, resulting in aggregate Net Proceeds of less than $25.0 million (the “Second Asset Sale Threshold”), the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds at its option:

(1) to repay Indebtedness and other Obligations under a Credit Facility, the Floating Rate Notes or the Unsecured Floating Rate Notes that are pari passu or senior in right of payment to the Notes and, if applicable, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(2) to acquire Business Assets or any Capital Stock of a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock or Business Assets, such Capital Stock or Business Assets become part of or held or owned by a Guarantor;

(3) to make a capital expenditure; or

(4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business;

provided, however, that in the event the Net Proceeds resulting from an Asset Sale causes the aggregate Net Proceeds for all Asset Sales by the Parent, the Company and their Restricted Subsidiaries, measured from May 12, 2011, to exceed the Second Asset Sale Threshold, the amount of the aggregate Net Proceeds which is less than the Second Asset Sale Threshold shall continue to be subject to this paragraph.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Parent, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

Any Net Proceeds from (i) Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the second paragraph of this Section 4.10 or (ii) Asset Sales the Net Proceeds resulting from which cause the Parent, the Company and their Restricted Subsidiaries to have consummated Asset Sales, measured from the date of this Indenture, resulting in Net Proceeds greater than the Second Asset Sale Threshold, where such Net Proceeds are not

- 61 -

applied to repay Indebtedness and reduce commitments as contemplated by Subsection (1) in the second paragraph of this Section 4.10 (except for Net Proceeds subject to the fifth paragraph of this Section 4.10) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the Parent or the Company will, within 20 days thereof, make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the 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 in accordance with Section 3.11 hereof to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Parent or the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale exceed $75.0 million in the aggregate, in lieu of applying such Net Proceeds as set forth above, within 30 days after the receipt of such Net Proceeds, the Company shall apply such Net Proceeds to repay Indebtedness and other Obligations under a Credit Facility that are pari passu or senior in right of payment to the Notes and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto. Any Net Proceeds subject to this paragraph that are not applied as set forth in the preceding sentence will constitute “Excess Proceeds” solely for purposes of this paragraph. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds subject to this paragraph exceeds $25.0 million, within 20 days thereof, the Parent or the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds subject to this paragraph. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer pursuant to this paragraph will be equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds subject to this paragraph remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Parent or the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds subject to this paragraph, the Trustee will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds subject to this paragraph will be reset at zero.

The Parent and the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Section 3.11 hereof or this Section 4.10, the Parent and the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.11 hereof or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Parent and the Company will not, and will not permit any of their 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:

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Parent, the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(2) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

(A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Parent set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 4.11(a) and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Parent; and

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Parent, the Company or such 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 will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof:

(1) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement, consulting agreement, severance agreement, insurance policy or any similar arrangement entered into by the Parent, the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto, and, with respect to consulting agreements only, the terms of which have been approved by the audit committee of the Board of Directors of the Parent;

(2) transactions between or among the Parent, the Company and/or their Restricted Subsidiaries;

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

- 63 -

(4) payment of reasonable directors’ fees to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates of the Parent;

(5) any transaction pursuant to any contract in existence on the date of the original issuance of the Notes;

(6) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent to Affiliates of the Parent; and

(7) Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 4.07 hereof.

Section 4.12 Limitations on Liens; Negative Pledge.

(a) The Parent and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries), or income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom. In addition, if the Company or any Guarantor directly or indirectly, shall create, incur or suffer to exist any Lien on any property securing Credit Agreement Obligations or other First Priority Lien Obligations, the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, must as soon as practicable grant at least a second-priority Lien or third-priority Lien, as applicable, subject to Permitted Liens upon such property as security for the Notes and the Note Guarantees.

(b) The Parent, the Company and their Restricted Subsidiaries shall not further pledge the Collateral as security or otherwise, subject to Permitted Liens; provided, that, the Company may, subject to compliance with Section 4.09, issue Additional Notes having identical terms and conditions as the Notes, all of which may be secured by the Collateral (subject, in each case, to the limitations of clause (a) of this Section 4.12).

Section 4.13 Business Activities.

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

Section 4.14 Corporate Existence.

Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Parent and the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of their Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Parent, the Company or any such Subsidiary; and

- 64 -

(2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Parent and the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of their Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors of the Parent shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Parent, the Company and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.15 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 20 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and

- 65 -

(7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.11 or 4.15 hereof, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.11 hereof or this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) 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 4.15 and Section 3.11 hereof and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

Section 4.16 Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

The Parent and the Company will not, and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; provided, that, the Company or any Guarantor may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if:

(1) the Company or that Guarantor, as applicable, could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Test and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof;

- 66 -

(2) the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Parent and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, of the property that is the subject of that sale and leaseback transaction; and

(3) the transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the Parent, the Company or such Guarantor applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with, Section 4.10 hereof.

Section 4.17 Payments for Consent.

The Parent and the Company will not, and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Section 4.18 Additional Note Guarantees.

If any Restricted Subsidiary which is not a Guarantor guarantees any of the other Indebtedness of the Parent, the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries, including Indebtedness under the Floating Rate Notes Indenture or the Credit Facilities, then that Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and execute a Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the trustee within 10 Business Days of the date on which it guaranteed such other Indebtedness to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by that Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of that Restricted Subsidiary enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions). The form of such Note Guarantee is attached as Exhibit B hereto.

Section 4.19 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Board of Directors of the Parent may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Parent, the Company and their Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Parent may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

- 67 -

Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Parent as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Parent giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the Company will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Parent may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent; provided, that, such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (i) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Section 4.20 Changes in Covenants when Note Rated Investment Grade.

If on any date following the date of this Indenture:

(1) the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s and BBB- or better by S&P; and

(2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders (including the “Holders” under and as defined in the Floating Rate Notes Indenture) of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Floating Rate Notes, voting as a single class, may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

- 72 -

Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

The Holders (including the “Holders” under and as defined in the Floating Rate Notes Indenture) of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Floating Rate Notes, voting as a single class, by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind 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.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a 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.

Holders (including the “Holders,” under and as defined in the Floating Rate Notes Indenture) of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Floating Rate Notes, voting as a single class, by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders (including the “Holders,” under and as defined in the Floating Rate Notes Indenture) of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Floating Rate Notes, voting as a single class, may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes.

- 73 -

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

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

(3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

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

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

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

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the 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.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the

- 74 -

Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or 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.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

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

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

(a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) this Article 8.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Parent and the Company may exercise their option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Parent’s and the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12,

4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20 hereof and clause (4) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Parent’s and the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(5) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06 Repayment to Company.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as Trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be,

- 84 -

by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9.

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees without the consent of any Holder of Note:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 hereof;

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder;

(5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

(6) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement dated July 3, 2012, as amended or supplemented from time to time, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents or the Notes;

(7) to enter into additional or supplemental Collateral Documents;

(8) to release Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements;

(9) to make complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents or any release of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents;

(10) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the date hereof; or

(11) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

Upon the request of the Parent and the Company accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Parent authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 3.11, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof) and the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders (including the “Holders,” under and as defined in the Floating Rate Notes Indenture) of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) and Floating Rate Notes voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes or Floating Rate Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders (including “Holders,” as defined in the Floating Rate Notes Indenture) of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) and Floating Rate Notes voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes or Floating Rate Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

However, the consent of Holders of seventy-five percent (75%) in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes) shall be required for any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 that amends,

- 86 -

supplements, or waives the application of, as applicable, (i) the second subsection (1), subsection (6) or subsection (11) in the definition of “Asset Sale” in Section 1.01 hereof; (ii) the definition of “Net Proceeds” in Section 1.01 hereof; (iii) the second, fourth or fifth paragraphs of Section 4.10 hereof; or (iv) this paragraph.

Upon the request of the Parent and the Company accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Parent authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

It is not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders (including the “Holders” under and as defined in the Floating Rate Notes Indenture) of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and Floating Rate Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.11, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof);

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium or interest on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

- 87 -

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

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.11, 4.10 or 4.15 hereof);

(8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(9) 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 Collateral Document that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes (other than any release of Collateral required by the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement) will require the consent of Holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in a amended or supplemental indenture 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 Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver 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 Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or

- 88 -

supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Parent approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10.

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, premium and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that 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 will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the 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 which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the 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 either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

- 89 -

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof 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 (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state, provincial or other applicable law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and 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 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

- 90 -

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

In the event that the Parent, the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.18 hereof, the Company will cause such Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.18 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or amalgamate 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:

(1) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(2) either:

(A) subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such amalgamation, consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Collateral Documents on the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture and appropriate Collateral Documents reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or

(B) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the 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 Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will 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.

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses 2(a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any

- 91 -

consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Section 10.05 Releases.

(a) In the event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) the Parent, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof (subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in Section 4.10). Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, or in the event such sale or other disposition was made in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(b) Upon designation of any Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, such Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(c) Upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

(d) The Trustee and each Holder, by accepting the Notes and the Note Guarantees, acknowledges that, as more fully set forth in the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held for the benefit of the First Priority Lien Obligations, and the holders of the Floating Rate Note, the FRN Trustee and the FRN Collateral Agent, all the Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee in accordance with their respective interests as provided in the Intercreditor Agreements, and that the Lien of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents in respect of the Trustee and the Holders is subject to and qualified by and limited in all respects by the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and actions that may be taken thereunder.

(e) The Trustee and each Holder, by accepting the Notes and the Note Guarantees, acknowledges that the holders from time to time of the First Priority Lien Obligations (i) are extending credit from time to time to the Company and the Subsidiaries in reliance upon the provisions of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Section 11.01 and (ii) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 11.01.

- 93 -

No amendment or modification of the provisions of this Section 11.01 shall be effective against the holders from time to time of the First Priority Lien Obligations without the prior written consent of such holders.

Section 11.02 Lien Subordination.

(a) Any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any Holder that secures all or any portion of the Obligations under the Notes and Note Guarantees shall in all respects be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted in the Collateral to secure all or any portion of the First Priority Lien Obligations (and pari passu with all Liens in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral now or hereafter held by the FRN Collateral Agent or any holder of Floating Rate Notes that secures all or any part of the obligations under the Floating Rate Notes or the Floating Rate Note Guarantees), and

(b) Any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the holders from time to time of the First Priority Lien Obligations that secure all or any portion of the First Priority Lien Obligations shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens granted to the Collateral Agent or any Holder in the Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Obligations under the Notes or Note Guarantees.

(c) The Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Holders, agrees that neither it nor any Holder shall obtain a Lien on any Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Obligations under the Notes unless, concurrently therewith, a Lien on such Collateral is granted in favor of (i) the holders from time to time of the First Priority Lien Obligations and (ii) the holders of the Floating Rate Notes, the FRN Trustee and the FRN Collateral Agent and that all such Liens are and will be subject to the Intercreditor Agreements.

Section 11.03 Payments Received by Collateral Agent and/or any Holder.

If at any time prior to the date upon which the First Priority Lien Obligations are paid in full in cash (or, if permitted by the relevant documents, cash collateralized) after or concurrently with termination of all commitments to extend credit thereunder shall have occurred, the Collateral Agent or any Holder receives any payment, distribution, or proceeds in respect of Collateral or proceeds (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) of Collateral as a result of an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies (as defined in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) or otherwise contrary to the provisions of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent and/or such Holder shall be deemed to receive and hold the same in trust as trustee for the benefit of the holders of the First Priority Lien Obligations from time to time and shall forthwith deliver such payment, distribution, or proceeds to their agent in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment by the Collateral Agent or any Holder where necessary) in accordance with the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, for application on any of the First Priority Lien Obligations, whether then due or yet to become due. In the event of the failure of the Collateral Agent or any Holder to make any such endorsement or assignment to the agent for the holders of the First Priority Lien Obligations from time to time, such agent and any of its officers or agents are hereby irrevocably authorized to make such endorsement or assignment and the Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and

- 94 -

each Holder, irrevocably appoints such as its and each Holder’s lawful attorney in fact for the purpose of enabling such agent to make such endorsement or assignment in the name of the Collateral Agent or any Holder.

Section 11.04 Application of Proceeds.

All Collateral and all proceeds (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) of Collateral received by the Collateral Agent or the Holders in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies (as defined in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) shall be applied.

first, to the payment of costs and expenses of the agent for the holders from time to time of the First Priority Lien Obligations in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies,

second, to the payment of the First Priority Lien Obligations in accordance with the documents governing such First Priority Lien Obligations until the date upon which the First Priority Lien Obligations are paid in full in cash (or, if permitted by the relevant documents, cash collateralized) after or concurrently with termination of all commitments to extend credit thereunder shall have occurred,

third, to the payment of the Obligations under the Floating Rate Notes, the Floating Rate Note Guarantees, the Notes and Note Guarantees, on a pro rata basis, and

fourth, to the Company or Guarantors or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Section 11.05 Further Assurances.

(a) The Company and the Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, do all acts which may be reasonably necessary, to confirm that the Collateral Agent holds, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and the Trustee, duly created, enforceable and perfected and at least second-priority Liens and security interests in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens) to the extent required and permitted by this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

(b) As necessary, the Company and the Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, which may be necessary, to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, including with respect to after-acquired Collateral, to the extent required and permitted by this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Company and the Guarantors shall not be required to (1) take any action to create or perfect any Lien under the law of any jurisdiction other than the United States, unless required to do so under the Credit Agreement, (2) so long as the Credit Agreement is in place, take any action to perfect the security interest in any vehicle or other goods subject to a certificate of title issued by any state that does not permit recordings of second liens on its certificate of titles or (3) take any

- 95 -

action with respect to obtaining control agreements with respect to deposit accounts and securities accounts, except (i) as long as the Credit Agreement is in existence, to take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain control agreements with respect to those deposit accounts and securities accounts for which control agreements in favor of the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement are in effect, and (ii) if the Credit Agreement is no longer in existence, to take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain control agreements with respect to all deposit accounts except for any deposit account so long as the aggregate amount of funds in such other deposit accounts for which the Collateral Agent has not received a deposit account control agreement shall not exceed $500,000 in the aggregate as to all such deposit accounts.

Section 11.06 Impairment of Security Interest.

The Parent and the Company shall not take or omit to take, nor permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to take or omit to take, any action which would materially adversely affect or impair the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Holders with respect to the Collateral. The Parent and the Company will not enter into, nor permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into, any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person, if such agreement is otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements. The Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause each other Guarantor to, at its sole cost and expense, execute and deliver all such agreements and instruments as necessary, or as the Trustee reasonably requests, to more fully or accurately describe the assets and property intended to be Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Collateral Documents; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the Company or any Guarantor to take any actions described in Section 11.05(c).

Section 11.07 After-Acquired Property.

Upon the acquisition by the Parent, the Company or any other Guarantor after the Issue Date of any real property that qualifies as Collateral, has a fair market value (it being presumed that the gross purchase price paid for such real property upon its acquisition is fair market value) of at least $250,000 and has been pledged as Collateral for the benefit of the lenders under the Credit Agreement (“Qualified After-Acquired Real Property”), the Parent, the Company or the applicable other Guarantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, execute or deliver to the Collateral Agent any and all financing statements, future filings, service agreements, pledges, assignments, endorsements of certificates of title, mortgages, deeds of trust, opinions of counsel and all other documents that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request in order to create and perfect liens in favor of the Collateral Agent in such Qualified After-Acquired Real Property. No such documents shall be required to be provided in respect of real property acquired by a CFC if providing such documents would result in adverse tax consequences or costs to the Parent, the Company or the other Guarantors in excess of the benefits afforded to the Collateral Agent thereby.

- 96 -

Section 11.08 Real Estate Mortgages and Filings.

With respect to the Mortgaged Real Properties, within 90 days of the Issue Date (or within 90 days of the acquisition of Qualified After-Acquired Real Property or in each case before such later date as agreed to by the administrative agent or the lenders under the Credit Agreement):

(a) the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a Mortgage with respect to each Mortgaged Real Property, each dated as of the Issue Date (or such later date on which such Mortgage is delivered in accordance with the requirements of this Indenture and/or the Collateral Documents), duly executed by the Company or the applicable Guarantor, together with evidence of recording (or satisfactory arrangements for the recording) of each such Mortgage (and payment of any taxes or fees in connection therewith) as necessary to create a valid, perfected at least second-priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens);

(b) the Collateral Agent shall have received ALTA title insurance policies in favor of the Collateral Agent, as mortgagee or beneficiary (as applicable) under each of the Mortgages, in the form necessary to insure that the Liens created by each Mortgage constitute valid and at least second-priority Liens on the Mortgaged Real Property (subject only to Permitted Liens), amounts satisfactory to the Collateral Agent assuring the Collateral Agent that the Mortgages on such Real Property Collateral are valid and enforceable second-priority mortgage Liens on such Real Property Collateral free and clear of all defects and encumbrances except Permitted Liens, and the policies otherwise shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and each such policy to include such legally available endorsements and affirmative coverages as included in the policies delivered in connection with the Credit Agreement, if applicable, and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates; and

(c) the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, with respect to each Mortgaged Real Property, such evidence of filings, surveys (or affidavits of no change to survey that the title company may reasonably require as necessary to issue such title insurance policy), local counsel opinions, and fixture filings (if applicable), along with such other documents, instruments, certificates and agreements, to create, evidence or perfect a valid and at least second-priority Lien in connection with the execution and delivery of the Mortgages, together with the delivery to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate required under Section 11.10 (c). No Opinion of Counsel under Section 13.04 or otherwise shall be required.

Section 11.09 Release of Liens on the Collateral.

(a) The Liens on the Collateral will be released with respect to the Notes and the Note Guarantees, as applicable:

(1) in whole, upon payment in full of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and all other obligations thereunder;

- 97 -

(4) in whole or in part, as to any property constituting Collateral that is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by Section 4.10 and by the Collateral Documents (to the extent of the interest sold or disposed of) or otherwise permitted by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents; or otherwise in accordance with, and as expressly provided for under, this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreements;

(5) in whole as to all Collateral that is owned by a Guarantor that is released from its Note Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture; and

(6) with the consent of Holders of 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, Notes);

provided, that, in the case of any release in whole pursuant to clauses (1) through (3) above, all amounts owing to the Trustee under this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements have been paid or otherwise provided for to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee.

(b) Upon compliance by the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, with the conditions precedent set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 11.09, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall promptly cause to be released and reconveyed to the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, the released Collateral and, if necessary, the Collateral Agent shall, at the Company’s expense, cause to be filed such documents or instruments (as prepared by the Company and provided to the Collateral Agent) as shall be necessary to provide for the release by the Collateral Agent of the released Collateral.

(c) The release of any Collateral from the terms of the Collateral Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof or affect the Lien of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or upon the termination of this Indenture. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, as and when requested in writing by the Company, the Trustee shall instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver Uniform Commercial Code or similar financing statement amendments or releases (or amendments or releases to other perfection documents or registrations) (which shall be prepared by the Company) solely to the extent necessary to delete any such released Collateral from the description of assets in any previously filed financing statements or other perfection documents or registrations. If requested in writing by the Company, the Trustee shall instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver such documents, instruments or statements (which shall be prepared by the Company) and to take such other action as the Company may request to evidence or confirm that released Collateral described in the immediately preceding sentence has been released from the Liens of each of the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver such documents, instruments and statements and shall take all such actions promptly upon receipt of such instructions from the Trustee.

- 98 -

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, as and when requested by the Company, the Trustee shall instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver Uniform Commercial Code financing statement amendments or releases (or amendments or releases to other perfection documents or registrations) (which shall be prepared by the Company) solely to the extent necessary to delete Excluded Assets from the description of assets in any previously filed financing statements or other perfection documents or registrations. If requested by the Company, the Trustee shall instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver such documents, instruments or statements (which shall be prepared by the Company) and to take such other action as the Company may request to evidence or confirm that Excluded Assets described in the immediately preceding sentence has been released from the Liens of each of the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver such documents, instruments and statements and shall take all such actions promptly upon receipt of such instructions from the Trustee.

Section 11.10 Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent Under the Collateral Documents.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04 of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and unless otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, each of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, and shall, at the direction of a majority of the Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of its rights or any of the rights of the Holders under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and (ii) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral in respect of the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors hereunder and thereunder. Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee).

(b) The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company or any Guarantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall have no

- 99 -

responsibility for recording, filing, re-recording or re-filing any financing statement, continuation statement, document, instrument or other notice in any public office at any time or times or to otherwise take any action to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted to it under the Collateral Documents or otherwise.

(c) Where any provision of this Indenture requires that additional property or assets be added to the Collateral, the Company and each Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent the following:

(1) a request from the Company that such Collateral be added;

(2) the form of instrument adding such Collateral, which, based on the type and location of the property subject thereto, shall be in substantially the form of the applicable Collateral Documents entered into on the date of this Indenture, with such changes thereto as the Company shall consider appropriate, or in such other form as the Company shall deem proper; provided, that, any such changes or such form are administratively satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent;

(3) an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture to the addition of such Collateral have been complied with. No Opinion of Counsel under Section 13.04 or otherwise shall be required; and

(4) such financing statements, if any, as the Company shall deem necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Collateral.

(d) The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, in giving any consent or approval under the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, shall receive, as a condition to such consent or approval, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the action or omission for which consent or approval is to be given does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders or impair the security of the Holders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, and the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in giving such consent or approval on the basis of such Officers’ Certificate.

(e) The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, are authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under, and in accordance with, the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

Section 11.11 New Intercreditor Arrangements.

(a) If Indebtedness is incurred under Section 4.09(b)(1) and such Indebtedness is secured by any Collateral held or released by the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement and the Notes and the Note Guarantees are also secured by any such asset that qualifies as Collateral with a Lien priority that is intended to be junior to that of such Indebtedness, then the Collateral Agent and the representative of the holders of such Indebtedness will (i) if such Indebtedness does not replace the Indebtedness under the Credit

- 100 -

Agreement, enter into an intercreditor agreement with customary terms and provisions, or an amendment or supplement to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, with the representative of holders of such Indebtedness and the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement (if the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement so agrees) and (ii) if such Indebtedness replaces the Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, become party to an intercreditor agreement with terms substantially similar to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) If Indebtedness is incurred that has, and is permitted to be pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, to have equal Lien priority as the Notes and the Note Guarantees, as the case may be, then the Collateral Agent, at the written request of the Company, will enter into an intercreditor agreement with customary terms and provisions which are reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, or an amendment or supplement to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, with the representative of holders of such Indebtedness and the representatives under the Credit Facilities (if the representatives under the Credit Facilities so agree), and, if applicable, an amendment to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) If Indebtedness is incurred that is, and is permitted to be pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, secured on a junior priority basis by any Collateral, then the Collateral Agent, at the written request of the Company, will enter into an intercreditor agreement, with customary terms and provisions which are reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, or a supplement to the Intercreditor Agreement, with the representative of holders of such Indebtedness and the representatives under the Credit Facilities (if the representatives under the Credit Facilities so agree), and, if applicable, an amendment to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 11.12 Limitations on Stock and Related Collateral.

(a) The Capital Stock and other securities owned by the Company or any Guarantor shall constitute Collateral only to the extent that such Capital Stock and other securities can secure the Notes or the Note Guarantees, as applicable, without Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act requiring separate financial statements of such Guarantor to be filed with the SEC. In the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act requires or is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of the Company or any Guarantor due to the fact that the Company or such Guarantor’s Capital Stock and other securities secure the Notes or the Note Guarantees, then the Capital Stock and other securities of such Guarantor shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral (but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement).

(b) In such event, this Indenture and Collateral Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, to the extent necessary to release the second-priority security interests on the shares of Capital Stock and other securities that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Collateral. In the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulations

- 101 -

adopted, which would permit) the Company or such Guarantor’s Capital Stock and other securities to secure the Notes or the Note Guarantees in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of the Company or such Guarantor, then the Capital Stock and other securities of the Company or such Guarantor shall automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral (but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement). In such event, this Indenture and the Collateral Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, to the extent necessary to subject such additional Capital Stock and other securities to the Liens under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.

Section 11.13 Conflicts Between this Indenture, Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary contained in this Indenture or any Collateral Document, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Indenture or any Collateral Document, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of any other Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

Section 12.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(1) either:

(A) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable at their maturity within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

- 102 -

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

(3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 12.01, the provisions of Sections 12.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

A-3

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST. Angiotech Pharmaceuticals (US), Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Washington (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum equal to 9% (computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), until maturity. The Company will pay interest quarterly in arrears on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 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 Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this 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 September 1, 2012.

The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application, or the maximum rate permitted by Canadian law.

Interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and interest, if any, will accrue at a rate that is 2% per annum in in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes (computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the Company will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at such higher rate to the extent lawful.

A-4

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 15, May 15, August 15 or November 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of August , 2012 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

(a) At any time after the date hereof, the Company will have the option to redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, and any outstanding fees, expenses or other amounts owing in respect thereof. The Company may redeem Notes only if all Floating Rate Notes then outstanding, if any, are redeemed concurrently under the Floating Rate Notes Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

(a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101 % of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 20 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

(b) If the Parent, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent consummates any Asset Sales, except as set forth in the Indenture, when the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the Parent or the Company will, within 20 days thereof, commence an offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an “Asset Sale Offer”) pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Parent, the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.

(8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.

The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The

A-6

Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

A-8

as a single class, by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes.

Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

d. Waiver of Right to Contest Indebtedness. The Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, subject to the provisos in Section 2.b., the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including rights of set off and rights to credit bid all or part of the Senior Indebtedness) and make determinations regarding the release or disposition of, or restrictions with respect to, the Collateral, in each case, without any consultation with or consent of the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder, and no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Indenture Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Loan Documents. In addition, (i) the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that neither it nor any Noteholder shall, and the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, waives any right to take any action to contest or challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly, whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority, enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender in any Collateral, the validity, priority, enforceability or allowance of any of the claims of the Senior Agent or any holder of Senior Indebtedness against any Obligor or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof and (ii) the Senior Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, agrees that neither it nor any Senior Lender shall, and the Senior Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, waives any right to, take any action to contest or challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly, whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority (subject to enforcement of the Lien subordination provisions in this Agreement), enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder in any Collateral, the validity, priority, enforceability or allowance of any of the claims of the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any holder of Notes Obligations against any Obligor or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof. Subject to the provisos in Section 2.b., the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that neither it nor any Noteholder shall take any action that could interfere with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents, including any public or private sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other disposition of any Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. The Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, waives any and all rights it or any Noteholder may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to contest, protest, object to, or interfere with the manner in which the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender seeks to enforce the Liens in any Collateral (it being understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement shall govern with respect to the Collateral even if any portion of the Liens securing all or any portion of the Senior Indebtedness are avoided, disallowed, set aside, or otherwise invalidated in any Insolvency Proceeding, judicial proceeding or otherwise). The Senior Agent shall provide reasonable prior written notice to the Noteholder Collateral Agent of its initial material Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, unless exigent circumstance exist, in which case the Senior Agent shall provide such notice reasonably contemporaneously with the such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies.

e. Acknowledgement of Liens. The Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Senior Lenders, has been granted Liens upon all of the Collateral in which the Noteholder Collateral Agent has been granted Liens and the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, consents thereto. The Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that neither it nor any Noteholder shall obtain a Lien on any Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Notes Obligations unless, concurrently therewith, the Senior Agent obtains a Lien on such Collateral and the parties hereby agree that all such Liens are and will be subject to this Agreement. The Senior Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, acknowledges and agrees that the Noteholder Collateral Agent has been granted Liens upon certain of the Collateral in which the Senior Agent has been granted Liens and the Senior Agent consents thereto. The subordination of Liens and claims in respect of Collateral by the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders in favor of the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders shall not be deemed to subordinate the Noteholder Collateral Agent’s or any Noteholder’s Liens or claims in respect of Collateral to the Liens or claims in respect of Collateral of any other Person that is not a holder of Senior Indebtedness.

3. Release of Liens. In the event of any private or public sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral by or with the consent of the Senior Agent or the Senior Lenders at any time prior to the date upon which the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred constituting (a) a sale or other disposition of Collateral pursuant to an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies or a Default Disposition, (b) a sale or other disposition of Collateral permitted under the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and not prohibited by the terms of the Indenture Documents (other than any prohibition arising solely as the result of the existence of a default or an event of default under the Indenture Documents) or (c) a sale or other disposition of Collateral pursuant to an agreement between the Senior Agent and any Obligor to release the Senior Agent’s Lien on all or any portion of the Collateral, which release is not prohibited by the terms of the Indenture Documents (other than any prohibition arising solely as the result of the existence of a default or an event of default under the Indenture Documents), the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that such sale or disposition will be free and clear of the Liens securing the Notes Obligations and, if the sale or other disposition includes Equity Interests in any Obligor, the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, further agrees that the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders shall release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Notes Obligations so long as the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders also release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold or disposed of from all Senior Indebtedness. The Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that, in connection with any such sale or other disposition, (i) the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders shall execute any and all Lien releases or other agreements, instruments and other documents reasonably requested by the Senior Agent in connection with such sale or other disposition and (ii) the Senior Agent is authorized to file any and all UCC or PPSA Lien releases and/or terminations of the Liens held by the Noteholder Collateral Agent and/or any Noteholder in connection with such sale or other disposition. The Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Senior Agent and any officer or agent of the Senior Agent, with full power of substitution, as its and their true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders or in the Senior Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Senior Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 3, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all agreements, instruments and other documents that may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

4. Insolvency Proceeding.

a. Continuing Priority. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof. The relative rights of the Senior Agent and the Noteholder Collateral Agent in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable by the Senior Agent and the Noteholder Collateral Agent as a subordination agreement within the meaning of any Insolvency Statute, including under Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event that, in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 4.a, and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.a, the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder shall have received any payment or distribution from or in respect of any Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral (whether in cash, securities, assets, by setoff, or otherwise) that it is not entitled to receive under the provisions of this Agreement, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and immediately shall be paid over to the Senior Agent in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement.

- 10 -

subsequently invalidated, avoided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or otherwise required to be transferred to a trustee, receiver, or the estate or to any creditor or representative of any Obligor or any other Person (a “Recovery”), then the Senior Indebtedness shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Obligor or any other Person and irrespective of any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to or a discharge of any Obligor or any other Person in respect of the Senior Indebtedness. No priority or right of the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Obligor or any other Person or by the noncompliance by any Obligor or any other Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of the Senior Loan Documents or the Indenture Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders or any holder of Senior Indebtedness may have.

c. DIP Financing. If any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and the Senior Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit any such Obligor to obtain financing (collectively, “DIP Financing”) under any Insolvency Statute, including Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral, then the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that neither it nor any Noteholder shall raise any objection to such DIP Financing or request adequate protection (other than adequate protection consisting of a Lien that is subordinated to the Lien of the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders and/or to the Lien of the provider of such DIP Financing at least to the same extent set forth in this Agreement) or any other relief in connection with its or their interest in any such Collateral and waives any right the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder may otherwise have to adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral; provided that (i) the principal amount of any such DIP Financing plus the outstanding principal amount of other Senior Indebtedness does not exceed the sum of (A) the Senior Indebtedness Cap plus (B) $5,000,000, and (ii) such DIP Financing shall not compel any Obligor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the documents for such DIP Financing, except that such DIP Financing may (A) provide that the plan of reorganization require the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness and (B) require such Obligor to seek confirmation of a plan of reorganization acceptable to the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders or the lenders providing such DIP Financing and contain milestones relating to such plan of reorganization. To the extent that the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness are discharged, subordinated to, or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that the Liens of the Noteholder Collateral Agent (or any Noteholder) in the Collateral shall be subordinated to the liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) to the same extent and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement.

d. Other Waivers. Until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, without the Senior Agent’s written consent to the contrary, the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that neither it nor any Noteholder shall (i) seek relief from the automatic stay of or stay of proceedings imposed pursuant to any Insolvency Statute, including Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, in respect of any portion of the Collateral, (ii) propose any plan of reorganization, file any motion or pleading in support of any motion or plan, or vote in favor of a plan that is not supported by the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders (unless such plan provides for the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness) or that would challenge the enforceability of the Senior Indebtedness or the Liens securing same, (iii) directly or indirectly oppose any relief requested or supported by the Senior Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral (or any bid procedures with respect thereto) free and clear of the Noteholder Collateral Agent’s (or any Noteholder’s) Liens on the assets subject to such sale or disposition of Collateral under any Insolvency Statute, including Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (it being acknowledged that the Liens of the Noteholder

- 11 -

Collateral Agent shall attach to the proceeds of such sale or disposition to the extent that such proceeds are not applied to the Senior Indebtedness), or (iv) object to any professional expense or other similar carve-out agreed to by the Senior Agent. The Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, waives any claim it or any Noteholder may now or hereafter have against the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender arising out of the election of the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender, in any case instituted under the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any other Insolvency Statute), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any other Insolvency Statute).

e. Adequate Protection.

(i) In any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor, the Noteholder Collateral Agent agrees, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders that neither it nor any Noteholder shall contest (or support any other person contesting):

(A) any request by the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender for adequate protection; or

(B) any objection by the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender claiming a lack of adequate protection.

(ii) In any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor:

(A) if the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender is granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on existing or future assets of the Obligors in connection with any DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral, then Senior Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, agrees that the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender, adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such existing or future assets of the Obligors, which replacement Lien, if obtained, shall be subordinate to the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness (including those under a DIP Financing) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Notes Obligations are subordinate to the Liens securing Senior Indebtedness under this Agreement;

(B) if the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder is granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on existing or future assets of the Obligors, then the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that the Senior Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder, a senior adequate protection Lien on existing or future assets of the Obligors as security for the Senior Obligations and that any adequate protection Lien on such existing or future assets securing the Notes Obligations shall be subordinated to the Lien on such assets securing the Senior Indebtedness on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Notes Obligations are subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Indebtedness under this Agreement;

(C) if the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender is granted adequate protection in the form of an expense of administration claim in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, then the Senior Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, agrees that the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender, adequate protection in the form of an expense of administration claim, which administration claim, if obtained, shall (1) be subordinate to the administration claim of the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders and (2) be deemed to be proceeds of Collateral (it being understood and agreed that the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders shall be deemed to have agreed pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code that such administration claims may be paid under a plan of reorganization in any form having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims);

(D) if the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder is granted adequate protection in the form of an expense of administration claim, then the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that the Senior Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder, adequate protection in the form of an expense of administration claim, which administration claim, if obtained, shall be senior to the administration claim of the Noteholder Collateral Agent and any Noteholder, as applicable; and

(E) if the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender is granted adequate protection in the form of periodic cash payments of interest and payments of out-of-pocket expenses in respect of the Senior Indebtedness, then the Senior Agent agrees that Noteholder Collateral Agent may seek adequate protection with respect to its and the Noteholders’ rights in the Collateral in the form of periodic cash payments in an amount not exceeding interest at the non-default contract rate and/or payment of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (it being understood and agreed that (1) the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders shall not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to, the payment of any such adequate protection and (2) neither the Noteholder Collateral Agent nor any Noteholder shall seek any other adequate protection in the form of cash payments with respect to its rights in the Collateral without the consent of the Senior Agent).

(iii) Neither the Noteholder Collateral Agent nor any Noteholder shall, without the Senior Agent’s prior written consent, object to, oppose, take any action or vote in any way so as to directly or indirectly challenge or contest (A) any claim by the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Senior Indebtedness consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses, (B) the validity or the enforceability of the Senior Credit Agreement, the other Senior Loan Documents or the Liens granted to the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders with respect to the Senior Indebtedness or (C) the rights and duties of the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders established in the Senior Credit Agreement or any other Senior Loan Document to the extent such rights and duties are not, and/or have not been exercised in a manner, prohibited by any of the terms of this Agreement.

(iv) Neither the Senior Agent nor any Senior Lender shall, without the Noteholder Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, object to, oppose, take any action or vote in any way so as to directly or indirectly challenge or contest (A) the validity or the enforceability of the Indenture, the other Indenture Documents or the Liens granted to the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders with respect to the Notes Obligations (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) or (B) the rights and duties of the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders established in the Indenture or any other Indenture Document to the extent such rights and duties are not, and/or have not been exercised in a manner, prohibited by any of the terms of this Agreement.

f. No Waiver. Subject to Section 4.e, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder, including (i) the seeking by the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder of adequate protection or (ii) the asserting by the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder of any of its rights and remedies under the Indenture Documents or otherwise, in each case, in contravention of this Agreement.

g. Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except as set forth in Section 2 and this Section 4, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Obligor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Notes Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes as the other Liens securing the Notes Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement modifies any rights or remedies the Senior Agent or any of the Senior Lenders may have with respect to the Collateral.

5. Modifications of Indebtedness.

a. Amendments to the Senior Loan Documents and the Indenture Documents.

(i) Senior Indebtedness. All Senior Indebtedness at any time incurred by any Obligor shall be deemed to have been incurred, and all Senior Indebtedness held by any Senior Lender or other holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been extended, acquired or obtained, as applicable, in reliance upon this Agreement, and, to the extent not otherwise required herein, the Noteholder Collateral Agent for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, waives notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness of this Agreement, and notice of the existence, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any part of the Senior Indebtedness. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders or any holder of Senior Indebtedness from discontinuing the extension of credit to any Obligor (whether under the Senior Credit Agreement or otherwise) or from taking (without notice to the Noteholder Collateral Agent, any Noteholder, any Obligor, or any other Person) any other action in respect of the Senior Indebtedness or the Collateral which the Senior Agent, such Senior Lender or such holder is otherwise entitled to take with respect to the Senior Indebtedness or the Collateral. Anything in the Indenture Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have the right, without notice to or consent from the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder, to amend, supplement or modify the Senior Indebtedness, in any manner whatsoever, including any renewals, extensions or shortening of time of payments (even if such shortening causes any Senior Indebtedness to be due on demand or otherwise) and any increase in the amount of the Senior Indebtedness, and the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, consents and agrees to any such amendment, supplement or modification; provided that the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders shall not, without the prior written consent of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, amend, supplement or modify the Senior Loan Documents in a manner that would permit the outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Senior Loan Documents plus the amount of outstanding undrawn Letters of Credit under the Senior Loan Documents to exceed the Senior Indebtedness Cap.

(v) WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE INDENTURE OR ANY OTHER INDENTURE DOCUMENT, THE NOTEHOLDER COLLATERAL AGENT, FOR AND ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE NOTEHOLDERS, WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ARISING OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY THE SENIOR AGENT, THE SENIOR LENDERS OR ANY OTHER HOLDER OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS, EVEN THOUGH THAT ELECTION OF REMEDIES HAS DESTROYED THE NOTEHOLDER COLLATERAL AGENT’S AND/OR ANY NOTEHOLDER’S RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION AND REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST ANY OBLIGOR BY THE OPERATION OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW.

(vi) None of the Senior Agent, any Senior Lender or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or any Proceeds of Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof. If the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender honors (or fails to honor) a request by the Obligors for an extension of credit pursuant to the Senior Credit Agreement or any of the other Senior Loan Documents, whether the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of the Indenture Documents or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under the Senior Loan Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), neither the Senior Agent nor any Senior Lender shall have any liability whatsoever to the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder as a result of such action, omission, or exercise. The Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders will be entitled to manage and supervise their loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Loan Documents as the Senior Agent and the

- 16 -

Senior Lenders may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Agent, each Senior Lender and each other holder of Senior Indebtedness may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder may have in the Collateral or otherwise except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each Noteholder, agrees that none of the Senior Agent, any Senior Lender or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, application or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof conducted in accordance with applicable law. The Senior Agent, each Senior Lender and each holder of Senior Indebtedness may, from time to time, enter into agreements and settlements with any Obligor as it may determine in its sole discretion without impairing any of the subordinations, priorities, rights or obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including substituting Collateral, releasing any Lien and releasing any Obligor. The Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, waives any and all rights it may have to require the Senior Agent, any Senior Lender or any holder of Senior Indebtedness to marshal assets, to exercise rights or remedies in a particular manner, or to forbear from exercising such rights and remedies in any particular manner or order.

6. Payments Received by Noteholder Collateral Agent and/or any Noteholder. If at any time prior to the date upon which the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred, the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder receives any payment, distribution, or proceeds in respect of Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral as a result of an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies or otherwise contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and/or such Noteholder shall be deemed to receive and hold the same in trust as trustee for the benefit of the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders and shall forthwith deliver such payment, distribution, or proceeds to the Senior Agent in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment by the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder where necessary), for application on any of the Senior Indebtedness, whether then due or yet to become due. In the event of the failure of the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Senior Agent, the Senior Agent and any of its officers or agents are hereby irrevocably authorized to make such endorsement or assignment and the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each Noteholder, irrevocably appoints the Senior Agent as its and each Noteholder’s lawful attorney in fact for the purpose of enabling the Senior Agent to make such endorsement or assignment in the name of the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder.

7. Application of Proceeds.

a. Nature of Senior Indebtedness. The Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, expressly acknowledges and agrees that no application of any Payment Collateral or Cash Collateral by the Senior Agent or the release of any Lien by the Senior Agent upon any portion of the Collateral in connection with a disposition of assets pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Original Senior Credit Agreement shall constitute an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies under this Agreement.

b. Application of Proceeds of Collateral. All Collateral and all Proceeds of Collateral received by the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Noteholder Collateral Agent or the Noteholders in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall be applied:

first, to the payment of costs and expenses of the Senior Agent in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies,

second, to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred,

third, to the payment of the Notes Obligations in accordance with the Indenture Documents, and fourth, to the Obligors or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

- 17 -

c. Senior Indebtedness Unconditional. All rights of the Senior Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, and the Obligors (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Loan Document;

(ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Senior Indebtedness, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Senior Loan Document;

(iii) prior to the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness, any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of all or any portion of the Senior Indebtedness or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or

(iv) any exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy, any election of remedies, any taking or failure to take any Liens or additional Liens, as well as any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Obligor in respect of the Senior Indebtedness, or of the Noteholder Collateral Agent, any Noteholder or any Obligor (to the extent applicable) in respect of this Agreement.

d. Notes Obligations Unconditional. Subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement, all rights of the Noteholder Collateral Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders and the Obligors (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Indenture Document;

(ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Notes Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Indenture Document;

(iii) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of all or any portion of the Notes Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or

(iv) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Obligor in respect of the Notes Obligations, or of the Senior Agent, any Senior Lender or any Obligor (to the extent applicable) in respect of this Agreement.

8. Bailee for Perfection.

a. The Senior Agent and the Noteholder Collateral Agent each agree to hold or control that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees), to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC, PPSA, or other applicable law (such Collateral being referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”), as bailee and as a

- 18 -

non-fiduciary agent for the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Senior Agent, as applicable (such bailment and agency being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2), 9-313(c), 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the UCC), solely for the purpose of perfecting the Lien granted under the Indenture Documents or the Senior Loan Documents, as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8. Until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred, the Noteholder Collateral Agent agrees to promptly notify the Senior Agent of any Pledged Collateral held by it or by any Noteholder of which the Noteholder Collateral Agent has actual knowledge, and, immediately upon the request of the Senior Agent at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness, the Noteholder Collateral Agent agrees to deliver to the Senior Agent any such Pledged Collateral held by it or by any Noteholder, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Senior Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral).

b. The Senior Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Obligors or to preserve rights or benefits of any person except as expressly set forth in this Section 8. The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Agent under this Section 8 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Pledged Collateral as bailee and agent in accordance with this Section 8 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Section 8. The Noteholder Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Obligors or to preserve rights or benefits of any person except as expressly set forth in this Section 8. The duties or responsibilities of the Noteholder Collateral Agent under this Section 8 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Pledged Collateral as bailee and agent in accordance with this Section 8.

c. The Senior Agent acting pursuant to this Section 8 shall not have by reason of the Senior Loan Documents, the Indenture Documents, or this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder. The Noteholder Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 8 shall not have by reason of the Senior Loan Documents, the Indenture Documents, or this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender.

d. Upon the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness, the Senior Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Noteholder Collateral Agent to the extent any Notes Obligations remain outstanding as confirmed in writing by the Noteholder Collateral Agent, and, to the extent that the Noteholder Collateral Agent confirms no Notes Obligations remain outstanding, second, to the Obligors (in each case, so as to allow such person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral).

9. Purchase Option.

a. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering Event, any one or more of the Noteholders (acting in their individual capacity or through one or more affiliates) shall have the right, but not the obligation (each Noteholder having a ratable right to make the purchase, with each Noteholder’s right to purchase being automatically proportionately increased by the amount not purchased by another Noteholder), by giving a written notice from such Noteholders (a “Purchase Notice”) to the Senior Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, within 5 Business Days after the first occurrence of a Triggering Event, to acquire from the Senior Lenders all (but not less than all) of the right, title, and interest of the Senior Lenders in and to the Senior Indebtedness and the Senior Loan Documents. Any Purchase Notice, if given, shall be irrevocable.

b. On the date specified by the applicable Noteholder(s) in the Purchase Notice (which shall be within 5 Business Days after the delivery of the Purchase Notice to the Senior Agent), the Senior Lenders shall sell to the purchasing Noteholders and the purchasing Noteholders shall purchase from the Senior Lenders, the Senior Indebtedness.

- 19 -

c. On the date of such purchase and sale, the purchasing Noteholders shall (i) pay to the Senior Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, as the purchase price therefor the full amount of all the Senior Indebtedness (other than Senior Indebtedness cash collateralized in accordance with clause (c)(ii) below) then outstanding and unpaid, (ii) provide Bank Product Collateralization (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) in respect of all Bank Product Obligations then outstanding, and (iii) reimburse the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders for all expenses to the extent earned or due and payable in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents (including the reimbursement of extraordinary expenses, financial examination expenses, and appraisal fees). Such purchase price and Bank Product Collateralization shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the Senior Agent as the Senior Agent may designate in writing to the Noteholders that delivered the Purchase Notice for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the purchasing Noteholders to the bank account designated by the Senior Agent are received in such bank account prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the purchasing Noteholders to the bank account designated by the Senior Agent are received in such bank account later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time.

d. Such purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Senior Agent and Senior Lenders as to the Senior Indebtedness so purchased or otherwise and without recourse to the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender, except that each Senior Lender shall represent and warrant that: (i) the amount quoted by such Senior Lender as its portion of the purchase price represents the amount shown as owing with respect to the claims transferred as reflected on its books and records, (ii) it owns, or has the right to transfer to the purchasing Noteholders, the rights being transferred, and (iii) such transfer will be free and clear of Liens. Such purchase shall be documented pursuant to (A) in the case of any Senior Indebtedness arising under the Senior Credit Agreement, an assignment and assumption agreement which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to the Senior Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof and (B) in the case of any other Senior Indebtedness, such assignment and assumption agreements as may be reasonably agreed to by the Senior Lenders and the Noteholders at the time of such purchase and sale.

e. In the event that any one or more of the Noteholders exercises and consummates the purchase option set forth in this Section 9, (i) the Senior Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to immediately resign under the Senior Credit Agreement, and (ii) the purchasing Noteholders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require the Senior Agent to immediately resign under the Senior Credit Agreement and appoint a successor Senior Agent. Upon the appointment by the purchasing Noteholders of a successor Senior Agent, the Senior Agent agrees that it will, at the sole cost and expense of such successor Senior Agent, and without any recourse, representation or warranty, take such action as such successor Senior Agent may reasonably request to transfer the Collateral to such successor Senior Agent.

f. In the event that either (i) a Purchase Notice is not received within the time period set forth in Section 9.a above or (ii) the purchasing Noteholders do not purchase from the Senior Lenders the Senior Indebtedness within the time period set forth in Section 9.b above, then (A) any Purchase Notice, if given, shall be void and (B) the purchase option set forth in this Section 9 shall expire and the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have no further obligation to the Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder under this Section 9.

10. Representations. The Senior Agent represents and warrants to the Noteholder Collateral Agent that it has the requisite power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders. The Noteholder Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the Senior Agent that it has the requisite power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the Noteholders.

11. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any party hereto shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Senior Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

- 20 -

12. Instrument Legends. The Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that the face of each Indenture Document and any other instrument evidencing any of the Notes Obligations or any portion thereof or any security therefor executed or delivered on or after the date hereof shall be inscribed with a legend conspicuously indicating that Liens granted therefor are subordinated to the claims and Liens of the Senior Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and copies thereof shall be delivered to the Senior Agent.

13. Additional Remedies. If any party hereto, or any Senior Lender or any Noteholder, as applicable, violates any of the terms of this Agreement, in addition to any remedies in law, equity, or otherwise, the other party, on behalf of the Senior Lenders (in the case of the Senior Agent) or the Noteholders (in the case of the Noteholder Collateral Agent) may restrain such violation in any court of law and may, in its own or in any Obligor’s name, interpose this Agreement as a defense in any such action. Upon the written request of any party hereto, the other party will promptly take all actions which the requesting party believes appropriate to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Agreement.

14. Information Concerning Financial Condition. Each of the Senior Agent and the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders and the Noteholders, respectively, (a) assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Obligors and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Indebtedness or the Notes Obligations, and (b) agrees that no party has and shall have a duty to advise any other party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event the Senior Agent or the Noteholder Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes, at any time or from time to time, to provide any such information to such other party to this Agreement, it shall be under no obligation (i) to provide any such information to such other party or any other party on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to undertake any investigation, or (iii) to disclose any information which, pursuant to its commercial finance practices, it wishes to maintain confidential.

15. No Warranties or Liability. The Senior Agent and the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders and Noteholders, respectively, acknowledge and agree that neither has made any warranties or representations with respect to the legality, validity, enforceability, collectability or perfection of the Senior Indebtedness or the Notes Obligations or any liens or security interests held in connection therewith.

16. Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders and their respective successors and assigns, and neither any Obligor nor any other Person is intended to be a third party beneficiary hereunder or to have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or because of the existence of, or to have any right to enforce, this Agreement. The Senior Agent and the Noteholder Collateral Agent shall have the right to modify or terminate this Agreement at any time without notice to or approval of any Obligor or any other Person.

17. No Impairment. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between the Obligors and the Noteholders, the obligation of the Obligors, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Notes Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or affect the relative rights of the Noteholders and creditors of the Obligors other than the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders.

18. Subrogation. Solely after the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and/or the Noteholders shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Noteholder Collateral Agent and/or the Noteholders have been applied to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the

- 21 -

provisions of this Agreement, it being understood that the provisions of this Agreement are, and are intended solely, for the purposes of defining the rights of the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders, on the one hand, and the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders, on the other hand. The Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have no obligation or duty to protect the Noteholder Collateral Agent’s or any Noteholder’s rights of subrogation arising pursuant to this Agreement or under any applicable law, nor shall the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness be liable for any loss to, or impairment of, any subrogation rights held by the Noteholder Collateral Agent and/or any Noteholder.

3. Release of Liens.

a. In the event of any private or public sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral that is either (i) required by the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or (ii) made by or with the consent of the Requisite Noteholders at any time after the date upon which the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred constituting (A) a sale or other disposition of Collateral pursuant to an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies or a Default Disposition, (B) a sale or other disposition of Collateral permitted under the terms of the applicable Indenture Documents (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and not prohibited by the terms of the Comparable Indenture Documents (other than any prohibition arising solely as the result of the existence of a default or an event of default under the Comparable Indenture Documents) or (C) a sale or other disposition of Collateral pursuant to an agreement between either Noteholder Collateral Agent and any Obligor to release such Noteholder Collateral Agent’s Lien on all or any portion of the Collateral, which release is not prohibited by the terms of the Comparable Indenture Documents (other than any prohibition arising solely as the result of the existence of a default or an event of default under the Comparable Indenture Documents), each Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Applicable Noteholders, agrees that such sale or disposition will be free and clear of the Liens securing the applicable Note Obligations and, if the sale or other disposition includes Equity Interests in any Obligor, each Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Applicable Noteholders, further agrees that such Noteholder Collateral Agent and, if appropriate, the Applicable Noteholders shall release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Note Obligations.

4. Insolvency Proceeding.

a. Continuing Priority. This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and, as applicable, the Noteholders and the Obligors, both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, including all converted or succeeding cases

- 12 -

in respect thereof. The relative rights of the FRN Collateral Agent, the 9% Notes Collateral Agent and the Applicable Noteholders in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable by the FRN Collateral Agent and the 9% Notes Collateral Agent, as their respective interests appear. In the event that, in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 4.a and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.a, either the FRN Collateral Agent or any FRN Holder, or the 9% Notes Collateral Agent or any 9% Note Holder, shall have received any payment or distribution from or in respect of any Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral (whether in cash, securities, assets, by setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share, then and to the extent of such excess, such payment or distribution shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and immediately shall be paid over to the applicable Noteholder Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement.

b. Reinstatement. If either Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder receives payment or property on account of any Note Obligations, and the payment is subsequently invalidated, avoided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or otherwise required to be transferred to a trustee, receiver, or the estate or to any creditor or representative of any Obligor or any other Person (a “Recovery”), then the Note Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, and if the affected Note Obligations consist of both FRN Obligations and 9% Note Obligations, then this Agreement shall automatically and without the need for any action be reinstated in full force and effect and apply to such Note Obligations, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the FRN Collateral Agent, the 9% Notes Collateral Agent and the Noteholders under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Obligor or any other Person and irrespective of any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to or a discharge of any Obligor or any other Person in respect of the Note Obligations. No priority or right of either Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Obligor or any other Person or by the noncompliance by any Obligor or any other Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of the Indenture Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which either Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder may have.

- 13 -

c. No Waiver. Subject to Section 4.d, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit either Collateral Agent or any Noteholder from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken in contravention of this Agreement by the other Noteholder Collateral Agent or any other Noteholder, as the case may be, including (i) the seeking by either Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder of adequate protection or (ii) the assertion by either Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder of any of its rights and remedies under the applicable Indenture Documents or otherwise.

d. Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except as set forth in Section 2 and this Section 4, the Noteholder Collateral Agents and the Noteholders may exercise their respective rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Obligor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indenture Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that either Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Note Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes as the other Liens securing the Note Obligations.

5. Modifications of Indebtedness.

a. Amendments to the Indenture Documents. All Note Obligations at any time incurred by any Obligor shall be deemed to have been incurred, and all Note Obligations held by any Noteholder shall be deemed to have been extended, acquired or obtained, as applicable, in reliance upon this Agreement, and, to the extent not otherwise required herein, each Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Applicable Noteholders, waives notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by the other Noteholder Collateral Agent and the other Noteholders of this Agreement. Each Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Applicable Noteholders, agrees not to amend, restate, supplement or modify, in whole or in part, any terms or provisions of any Indenture Document in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Requisite Noteholders. In the event that either Noteholder Collateral Agent and/or Trustee enters into any supplement, amendment or modification in respect of any Indenture Document that creates a Lien in Collateral, then such supplement, amendment or modification shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Indenture Document without any action by either Noteholder Collateral Agent, either Trustee, any Noteholder or any Obligor; provided that no such supplement, amendment or modification shall have the effect of releasing any other Collateral from the Lien of such Comparable Indenture Document, except to the extent that such release is permitted by Section 3. The Noteholder Collateral Agent entering into any such amendment shall give written notice thereof to the other Noteholder Collateral Agent.

b. Notice of Acceptance and Other Waivers.

(i) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each Applicable Noteholder, waives: (1) notice of acceptance hereof; (2) notice of the creation or existence of any Indebtedness under the Comparable Indenture Documents; (3) notice of the amount of the

- 14 -

Indebtedness under the Comparable Indenture Documents; (4) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any Obligor or of any other fact that might increase either Noteholder Collateral Agent’s or any Noteholder’s risk hereunder; (5) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument among the Comparable Indenture Documents; (6) notice of any Default or Event of Default under the Comparable Indenture Documents or otherwise relating to the Indebtedness under the Comparable Indenture Documents; and (7) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Noteholder Collateral Agent and/or the Noteholders under this Agreement) and demands to which such Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder might otherwise be entitled.

(ii) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Applicable Noteholders, waives the right by statute or otherwise to require the other Noteholder Collateral Agent, the other Noteholders or any other holder of Note Obligations to institute suit against any Obligor or to exhaust any rights and remedies which either Noteholder Collateral Agent, any Noteholder or any holder of Note Obligations has or may have against any Obligor.

(iii) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Applicable Noteholders, waives: (1) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the other Note Obligations or any security therefor; (2) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the other Noteholder Collateral Agent or the other Noteholders; and (3) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the other Noteholder Collateral Agent’s or any Applicable Noteholder’s obligations hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the other Note Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Noteholder Collateral Agent’s and/or any Applicable Noteholder’s obligations hereunder.

(iv) None of the Noteholder Collateral Agents, the Noteholders, nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or any Proceeds of Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof. If either Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder fails to honor a request (whether for accommodation, amendment or otherwise) by the Obligors pursuant to the applicable Indenture Documents, whether or not such Noteholder Collateral Agent or Noteholder has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of the applicable Comparable Indenture Documents or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if such Noteholder Collateral Agent or Noteholder otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under the applicable Indenture Documents, neither shall have any liability whatsoever to the other Noteholder Collateral Agent or the other Noteholder Collateral Agent’s Applicable Noteholders as a result of

- 15 -

such action, omission, or exercise. Except for matters requiring the consent of the Requisite Noteholders, each Noteholder Collateral Agent and, subject to the terms of the applicable Indenture Documents, the Applicable Noteholders, will be entitled to manage and supervise arrangements under the applicable Indenture Documents as such Noteholder Collateral Agent or Applicable Noteholder may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. Each Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each Applicable Noteholder, agrees that neither the other Noteholder Collateral Agent, nor any of the other Noteholder Collateral Agent’s Applicable Noteholders, shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, application or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof conducted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable law. Subject to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Indenture Documents, each Noteholder Collateral Agent and each Noteholder may, from time to time, enter into agreements and settlements with any Obligor as it may determine in its sole discretion without impairing any of the priorities, rights or obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

6. Payments Received by Noteholder Collateral Agents and/or any Noteholder. If (a) at any time after the date upon which the Discharge of FRN Indebtedness shall have occurred, the FRN Collateral Agent or any FRN Holder receives any payment, distribution, or Proceeds in respect of Collateral as a result of an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies or otherwise in excess of the amounts that would be its Pro Rata Share of such payment distribution or Proceeds, or (b) at any time after the date upon which the Discharge of 9% Notes Indebtedness shall have occurred, the 9% Notes Collateral Agent or any 9% Note Holder receives any payment, distribution, or Proceeds in respect of Collateral as a result of an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies or otherwise in excess of the amounts that would be its Pro Rata Share of such payment distribution or proceeds, then such Noteholder Collateral Agent and/or such Noteholder shall be deemed to receive and hold the same in trust as trustee for the benefit of the other Noteholder Collateral Agent and the other Noteholder Collateral Agent’s Applicable Noteholders to the extent of their Pro Rata Share thereof and shall forthwith deliver such Pro Rata Share payment, distribution, or proceeds to the other Noteholder Collateral Agent in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment by the other Noteholder Collateral Agent or the Applicable Noteholders where necessary), for application to any of the other Note Obligations.

7. Application of Proceeds.

a. Application of Proceeds of Collateral. All Collateral and all Proceeds of Collateral received by either Noteholder Collateral Agent or the Noteholders in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall be applied:

second, to the payment of the costs and expenses of the Noteholder Collateral Agents incurred in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies;

- 16 -

third, to the payment of the Pro Rata Shares of the other Note Obligations to the Applicable Noteholders in accordance with the applicable Indenture Documents; and

fourth, to the Obligors or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

b. Note Obligations Unconditional. Subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement, all rights of the Noteholder Collateral Agents, the Noteholders, and the Obligors (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Indenture Document;

(ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Note Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Indenture Document;

(iii) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of all or any portion of the Note Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or

(iv) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Obligor in respect of the Note Obligations, or any obligor (to the extent applicable) in respect of this Agreement.

8. Bailee for Perfection.

a. Each Noteholder Collateral Agent agrees to hold or control that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees), to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC, PPSA, or other applicable law (such Collateral being referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”), and hereby acknowledges that it is holding and/or controlling any such Collateral, as bailee and as a non-fiduciary agent for itself and the other Noteholder Collateral Agent, as applicable (such bailment and agency being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2), 9-313(c), 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the UCC), solely for the purpose of perfecting the Lien granted under the applicable Indenture Documents for the ratable benefit of both of the Noteholder Collateral Agents, as their respective interests appear, and all of the Noteholders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.

b. Neither Noteholder Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the other Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Obligors or to preserve rights or benefits of any person except as expressly set forth in this Section 8. The duties or

- 17 -

responsibilities of the Noteholder Collateral Agents under this Section 8 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Pledged Collateral as bailee and agent in accordance with this Section 8 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of FRN Indebtedness, or, as the case may be, a Discharge of 9% Notes Indebtedness, in either case, as provided in this Section 8.

c. Neither Noteholder Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 8 shall have by reason of the Indenture Documents or this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Noteholder Collateral Agent or any Noteholder.

d. Upon a Discharge of the FRN Indebtedness, the FRN Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) held by the FRN Collateral Agent, together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the extent that no Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, to the Senior Agent, second, to the extent that the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, but no Discharge of the 9% Note Obligations has occurred, to the 9% Notes Collateral Agent, and third, if both the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness and the Discharge of 9% Notes Indebtedness have occurred, to the Obligors (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral).

e. Upon a Discharge of the 9% Notes Indebtedness, the 9% Notes Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) held by the 9% Notes Collateral Agent, together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the extent that no Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, to the Senior Agent, second, to the extent that the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, but no Discharge of the FRN Indebtedness has occurred, to the FRN Collateral Agent, and third, if both the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness and the Discharge of FRN Indebtedness have occurred, to the Obligors (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral).

9. Representations. Each Noteholder Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the other Noteholder Collateral Agent that it has the requisite power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the Applicable Noteholders

10. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any party hereto shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by the FRN Collateral Agent and the 9% Notes Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. The Noteholder Collateral Agents may amend, waive or consent to departures by any party with the consent of the Requisite Noteholders (including, without limitation, by means of consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the 9% Notes or Floating Rate Notes).

11. Instrument Legends. Each Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Applicable Noteholders, agrees that the face of each Indenture Document and any other instrument evidencing any of the Note Obligations or any portion thereof or any security therefor executed or delivered on or after the date hereof shall be inscribed with a legend conspicuously indicating that Liens granted therefor are subject to the terms of this Agreement, and copies thereof shall be delivered to the other Noteholder Collateral Agent.

12. Additional Remedies; Other Actions. If any party hereto, or, as applicable, any Noteholder or Obligor, violates any of the terms of this Agreement, in addition to any remedies in law, equity, or otherwise, the applicable Noteholder Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Applicable Noteholders, may restrain such violation in any court of law and may, in its own or in any Obligor’s name, interpose this Agreement as a defense in any such action. Upon the written request of any party hereto, the other party will promptly take all actions which the requesting party believes appropriate to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Agreement. In addition, subject to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Noteholder Collateral Agents may take or omit to take any action in connection with this Agreement with the consent of the Requisite Noteholders (including, without limitation, by means of consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the 9% Notes or Floating Rate Notes).

13. Information Concerning Financial Condition. Each of the FRN Collateral Agent and the 9% Notes Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Applicable Noteholders, (a) assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Obligors and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the applicable Note Obligations, and (b) agrees that no party has and shall have a duty to advise any other party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event the FRN Collateral Agent or the 9% Notes Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes, at any time or from time to time, to provide any such information to such other party to this Agreement, it shall be under no obligation (i) to provide any such information to such other party or any other party on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to undertake any investigation, or (iii) to disclose any information which, pursuant to its customary practices, it wishes to maintain as confidential.

14. No Warranties or Liability. Each Noteholder Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Applicable Noteholders, acknowledges and agrees that neither has made any warranties or representations with respect to the legality, validity, enforceability, collectability or perfection of the Note Obligations or any Liens or security interests held in connection therewith.

15. Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the FRN Collateral Agent, the 9% Notes Collateral Agent and the Applicable Noteholders, as their respective interest appear, and their respective successors and assigns, and neither any Obligor nor any other Person is intended to be a third party beneficiary hereunder or to have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or because of the existence of, or to have any right to enforce, this Agreement. The Noteholder Collateral Agents shall have the right to modify or terminate this Agreement at any time without notice to or approval of any Obligor or any other Person not a party hereto, other than the approval of the Requisite Noteholders to the extent required by this Agreement.

16. No Impairment. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between the Obligors and any of the Noteholders, the obligation of the Obligors, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Note Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.
