PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Estimated expenses payable in connection with the sale of the common stock in this offering are as follows:

We will bear all of the expenses shown above.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits and proceedings whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including payment of expenses in advance of resolution of any such matter. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will eliminate the potential personal monetary liability of our directors to us or our stockholders for breaches of their duties as directors except as otherwise required under the DGCL. Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or

II-1

arose prior to that amendment or repeal. If the DGCL is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of our directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the DGCL.

We have entered into or will enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. Each indemnification agreement provides, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws against any and all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of any claim. The indemnification agreements provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. We believe that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions expected to be included in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and the indemnification agreements that we have entered into or will enter into with our directors and officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and executive officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

We maintain standard policies of insurance under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided (i) to our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful acts as a director or officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, and (ii) to us with respect to payments which we may make to such officers and directors pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law.

Certain of our non-employee directors may, through their relationships with their employers, be insured and/or indemnified against certain liabilities incurred in their capacity as members of our board of directors.

The underwriting agreement, filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement, will provide for indemnification, under certain circumstances, by the underwriters of us and our officers and directors for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

In the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, we have issued the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act:

PIK Toggle Notes

On November 24, 2017, Sotera Health Topco, Inc. issued an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million of 8.125%/8.875% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2021 (the “PIK Toggle Notes”), which was used to pay a cash distribution to Topco Parent, which, in turn, used such proceeds for distributions, equity repurchases and other payments to its equity holders. The initial purchasers for the PIK Toggle Notes were Jefferies LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC.

The PIK Toggle Notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or to non-U.S. investors outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S of the Securities Act.

(a) Exhibits: The list of exhibits is set forth in beginning on page II-4 of this Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules: No financial statement schedules are provided because the information called for is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.

* (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

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

Section 1.06 Limited Condition Transactions. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or any Notes Document to the contrary, when calculating any applicable ratio, the amount or availability of the Incremental Cap, the amount or availability of the Available Amount or any other basket based on Consolidated EBITDA or total assets, or determining other compliance with this Indenture (including the determination of compliance with any provision of this Indenture which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom) in connection with the consummation of a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of such ratio, the amount or availability of the Incremental Cap, the amount or availability of the Available Amount or any other basket based on Consolidated EBITDA or total assets, and determination of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or other applicable covenant shall, at the option of the Issuer (the Issuer’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (or, in respect of any transaction described in clause (b) of the definition of Limited Condition Transaction, delivery of irrevocable notice or similar event) (the “LCT Test Date”) and if, after such ratios and other provisions are measured on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other Specified Transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Issuer could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratios and provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that at the option of the Issuer, the relevant ratios and baskets may be recalculated at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such ratios or baskets are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries or fluctuations of the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratios and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related Specified Transactions. If the Issuer has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (or, if applicable, the irrevocable notice or similar event is terminated or expires), any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Transaction has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated or expires.

Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor.

75

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes.

Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Issuer 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 Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall 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 4.03 hereof and as provided in Section 6.03. The Issuer shall 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, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of such special record date and payment date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall send or cause to be sent to each Holder a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.13 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers.

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 5 Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof but not more than 60 days before a redemption date (except that redemption notices may be delivered 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 the Indenture), an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (iv) 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, such Notes shall be selected for redemption or repurchase by the Trustee (1) if the Notes are listed on an exchange, in compliance with the requirements of such exchange or in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary or (2) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, or, if the pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by lot or by such other method as most nearly approximates a pro rata basis subject to customary procedures of the Depositary. Such Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

The Trustee, after consultation with DTC, shall promptly notify the Issuer 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 shall be in minimum amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of $1,000 or less can be redeemed in part, 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.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for any actions taken or not taken by DTC pursuant to their Applicable Procedures.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, the Issuer shall deliver notices of purchase or redemption electronically or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at least 15 but not more than 60 days before the purchase or redemption date to each Holder of Notes (with a copy to the Trustee) at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 hereof. Notices of redemption may be conditional.

77

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

(a) the redemption date;

(b) the redemption price;

(c) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is 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 of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

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

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

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

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

(i) any condition to such redemption.

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided that the Issuer shall have delivered written notice to the Trustee, at least 20 days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee) in the form of an Officer’s 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 sent in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price, unless such redemption is conditioned on the happening of a future event. The notice, if sent in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.

78

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

Prior to noon (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall 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 a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption or purchase date 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 shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer 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 accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.03 and 6.03 hereof.

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Upon surrender of a Definitive Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time prior to December 13, 2020, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon such notice as described under Section 3.03 hereof, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(b) At any time and from time to time, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice as described under Section 3.03 hereof, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth in this Section 3.07(b), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of Notes of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 13th of each of the years indicated below; provided, that for any redemption in connection with an IPO or a sale of at least a majority of the Equity Interests of the Issuer (excluding any Permitted Change of Control) on or prior to December 13, 2020, (x) such percentage shall be 103.000% and (y) at least 25% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture (other than Notes held by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption, unless all such Notes are redeemed substantially concurrently:

79

(c) At any time after the occurrence of a Permitted Change of Control, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice as described under Section 3.03 hereof, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth in this Section 3.07(c), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of Notes of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the relevant twelve-month period following such Permitted Change of Control:

(d) Any notice of any redemption may be given prior to the redemption thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, without limitation, the consummation of an incurrence or issuance of debt or equity or a Change of Control or other corporate transaction. If such redemption is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

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

Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption.

Subject to Section 3.09, the Issuer shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

80

Section 3.09 Offer Events.

(a) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of clause (a) of the definition of “Offer Event,” the Issuer may, at its option, apply such Net Proceeds:

(i) to invest (or commit to invest) such Net Proceeds (or a portion thereof) within 12 months after receipt of such Net Proceeds in the business of the Issuer and the other Subsidiaries (including any acquisitions permitted under Section 5.04); provided that, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer, or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds shall be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination; provided further that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.09 below; or

(ii) to the extent of any such Net Proceeds have not been so invested (or committed to be invested) by the end of such period of time,

(A) first, to permanently reduce Obligations under the First Lien Facilities and to correspondingly repay revolving loans and/or reduce commitments with respect thereto and/or Obligations under other Permitted First Priority Debt and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto (to the extent required by the terms of the Credit Agreement); and

(B) second, to make a Redemption Offer (as defined below) for the Notes issued under this Indenture.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 3.09, (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Offer Event of a Subsidiary of the Issuer that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any state, commonwealth or territory thereof or the District of Columbia are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the Issuer, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be taken into account in determining the amount to be applied in compliance with this Section 3.09 and such amounts may be retained by such Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the Issuer determined in good faith that the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the Issuer, and once the Issuer has determined in good faith that such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be effected as soon as practicable and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be taken into account in determining the amount to be applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved if such amounts were repatriated) in compliance with this Section 3.09, (B) to the extent that and for so long as the Issuer has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Offer Event would have a material adverse tax or cost consequence with respect to such Net Proceeds, the Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be taken into account in determining the amount to be applied in compliance with this Section 3.09, and such amounts may be retained by such Subsidiary; provided that when the Issuer determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Offer Event would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Proceeds, such Net Proceeds shall be taken into account in determining the amount to be applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) in compliance with this Section 3.09, and (C) to the extent that and for so long as the Issuer has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Offer Event would give rise to a risk of liability for the directors of such Subsidiary, the Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be taken into account in determining the amount to be applied in compliance with Section 3.09, as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by such Subsidiary.

81

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Declined Credit Agreement Proceeds are received by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of clause (b) of the definition of “Offer Event,” the Issuer shall, within five (5) Business Days of such receipt, make a Redemption Offer for the Notes issued under this Indenture in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received from such Offer Event.

(d) In the event that the Issuer shall be required pursuant to subsections (a) or (c) of this Section 3.09 to commence an offer (a “Redemption Offer”) to all Holders to purchase the Notes, it shall follow the procedures specified in this Section 3.09(d) through 3.09(i) and offer to purchase such Notes at a price in cash equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the Purchase Date, subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Each Redemption Offer shall remain open for not less than 30 or more than 60 days immediately following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall be permitted to apply Net Proceeds or Declined Credit Agreement Proceeds, as applicable, received in connection with an applicable Offer Event, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu in right of payment and as to priority of Collateral with the Notes (such Indebtedness, “Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with the Notes (based on the principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of at least $1,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); provided that in no event may the amount of Net Proceeds or Declined Credit Agreement Proceeds, as applicable, applied to purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness exceed the amount required to be applied to purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness by the terms thereof. Within three (3) Business Days immediately after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer shall apply the Net Proceeds or Declined Credit Agreement Proceeds, as applicable (the “Offer Amount”) to purchase the principal amount of the Notes and, to the extent required, any applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. Any Declined Credit Agreement Proceeds that are not included in the Offer Amount shall constitute “Retained Declined Proceeds.”

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

(f) If the Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest up to (but not including) the Purchase Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name a tendered Note accepted for purchase is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and unless the Issuer defaults in making payment for such tendered Note pursuant to the Redemption Offer, no additional interest shall be payable to Holders of such tendered Note.

(g) Upon the commencement of an Redemption Offer, the Issuer shall send, by first class or electronic mail, postage prepaid, a notice to each of the Holders, which shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Redemption Offer. The Redemption Offer shall be made to all Holders of Notes. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Redemption Offer, shall state:

(i) that the Redemption Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and the length of time the Redemption Offer shall remain open;

82

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

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

(iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Redemption Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(v) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Redemption Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in whole or in part in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(vi) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Redemption Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed (or, in the case of Global Notes, compliant with the Applicable Procedures), to the Issuer or any designated agent for such purchase, as the case may be, at the address specified in the notice delivered at the close of business on the third Business Day before the Purchase Date;

(vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer or any designated agent for such purchase, as the case may be, receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased;

(viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders and Pari Passu Indebtedness required to be repaid exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer shall select the Notes (and the issuer of, or agent for, such Pari Passu Indebtedness shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness) to be purchased on a pro rata basis (or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures in the case of the Global Notes) based on the principal amount of the Notes and, to the extent required, any applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of at least $1,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and

(ix) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer) representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased.

(h) On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Redemption Offer, and shall deliver to the Holders a notice stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Issuer shall promptly (but in any case not later than one (1) Business Day 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 Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate, and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) a

83

new Note to such Holder (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note), 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 Issuer to the Holder thereof.

(i) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

(g) restrictions or conditions in any Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 5.01 that is incurred or assumed by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Note Parties to the extent such restrictions or conditions are no more restrictive in any material respect than the restrictions and conditions in the Notes Documents or, in the case of Junior Financing, are market terms at the time of issuance and are imposed solely on such Restricted Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries;

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, amend or modify the documentation governing any Junior Financing if the effect of such amendment or modification is materially adverse to the Holders; provided that such modification will not be deemed to be materially adverse if such Junior Financing could be otherwise incurred under this Indenture (including as Indebtedness that does not constitute a Junior Financing) with such terms as so modified at the time of such modification.

117

Section 5.11 Changes in Fiscal Periods

The Issuer will not make any change in fiscal year; provided, however, that the Issuer may, upon written notice to the Trustee and, prior to the Disposition Date, the Accounts and thereafter, the Holders, change its fiscal year to any other fiscal year reasonably acceptable to the Controlling Party, in which case, the Issuer and the Trustee will, and are hereby authorized by the Holders to, make any adjustments to this Indenture that are necessary to reflect such change in fiscal year.

Section 5.12 Restriction on Affiliated Lenders

Without the consent of the Controlling Party, none of Holdings, the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries shall (a) make any amendments or other modifications to the Credit Agreement (as in effect on the Issue Date) that would have the effect of (x) increasing the aggregate amount of Term Loans that Affiliated Lenders are permitted to hold under Section 9.04(f)(iv) of the Credit Agreement or (y) making less restrictive the limitations on the voting power of Affiliate Lenders under the Credit Agreement or (b) enter into documentation governing any other First Lien Obligations unless the provisions in the documentation governing such other First Lien Obligations are substantially identical to, or less favorable to Affiliated Lenders than, the provisions described in the foregoing clause (a) (to the extent such concept is included in such documentation); provided that notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or any other agreement to the contrary, in the event that any Affiliated Lender acquires or holds any Indebtedness, or exercises any voting power with respect to any First Lien Obligations (including any Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement), in each case in excess of the limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement (as in effect on the Issue Date), no Default or Event of Default shall arise hereunder unless Holdings, the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries are in violation of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b).

ARTICLE 6

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

If any Event of Default (other than an event with respect to Holdings or the Issuer described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01) shall occur and be continuing under this Indenture, (x) the Trustee by written notice to the Issuer may declare or (y) the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of

120

the then total outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer and Trustee may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to Holdings or the Issuer, the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice.

The Controlling Party by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders waive all past or any existing Default or Event of Default and rescind an acceleration and its consequences; provided such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest, or premium, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

Prior to the GS Sell-Down Date, at any time when an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) exists, interest, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall accrue (x) on the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding at a rate that is 2.00% per annum above the rate then borne by the Notes and (y) on overdue interest at a rate that is 2.00% per annum above the rate then borne by the principal outstanding to which such interest relates. From and after the GS Sell-Down Date, at any time when an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) exists, any overdue amounts shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by law, at a rate that is 2.00% per annum above the rate then borne by (in the case of such principal) such amount of principal outstanding or (in the case of interest) the amount of principal outstanding to which such amount relates. Any additional interest that accrues by virtue of the operation of this Section 6.03 shall be payable in cash on demand and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with Section 2.12.

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.

The Controlling Party by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture, except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder (including in connection with an Redemption Offer); provided, subject to Section 6.02 hereof, that the Controlling Party 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.

121

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

Subject to Section 7.01(e) hereof, the Controlling Party may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral and the Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent may act at the written direction of the Holders or Beneficial Owners, as the case may be, without liability. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability (it being understood that neither the Trustee nor the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent has any duty to determine whether a direction is prejudicial to any Holder).

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

(2) Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) Holders of the Notes have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

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

(5) the Controlling Party has not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

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, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an Redemption Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) 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 Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, 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 compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

122

Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.12 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 compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel), the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent (including any claim for the compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Notes Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and 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, Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent under Section 7.07 hereof or the other Notes Documents. 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

123

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 6.13 Priorities.

Subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

(ii) 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, if any, and interest, respectively;

(iii) THIRD: without duplication, to the Purchasers and any other Secured Parties for any other Notes Obligations owing to the Purchasers or such other Secured Parties under the Notes Documents; and

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.13.

Section 6.14 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 reasonable 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 reasonable 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 6.14 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 principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(f) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or security or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

Each of the Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) request that Accounts and Account Parties furnish such information to it in writing to enable the Trustee and/or Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, to determine whether consent or direction from a Controlling Party has been obtained, and shall be entitled to make such determination or not make any determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if an Account or Account Party shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the Trustee or Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer 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 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.

127

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default 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. The Trustee shall not be deemed to know of any Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

Section 7.06 [Reserved].

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder and under the other applicable Notes Documents as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. Neither the Trustee’s nor the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent’s compensation shall be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent’s agents and counsel.

The Issuer and the Notes Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee, the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold the Indemnitees harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any of them in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the other applicable Notes Documents (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer or any of the Notes Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or any Notes Guarantor, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or thereunder). An Indemnitee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indemnitee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Indemnitee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

128

The obligations of the Issuer and the Notes Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Notes Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

When the Trustee or the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

129

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent are (a) expressly authorized to make the representations attributed to Holders in any such agreements and (b) not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose.

(ii) the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent or its property; or

A successor Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent shall become effective, and the successor Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture. The successor Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 7.13, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent. The predecessor Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any action or inaction of any successor Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent.

131

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and the Notes Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Notes Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture including that of the Notes Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute such instruments requested by the Issuer acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a) the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall 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 shall 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 shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’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, Section 6.01(c) or (d) (in each case solely with respect to the defeased covenants listed above), 6.01(e), 6.01(g), 6.01(j), 6.01(k), 6.01(l), 6.01(m) and 6.01(n) shall not constitute Events of Default.

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the Issuer or any Notes Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Notes Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(5) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Notes Guarantor or others; and

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or 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 Issuer.

(10) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes;

(11) to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant any other Lien in favor of the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, as additional security for the payment and performance of all or any portion of the Notes Obligations, in any property or assets, including any which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which a Lien is required to be granted to or for the benefit of the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture or otherwise;

135

(12) to provide for the release of Collateral from the Lien pursuant to this Indenture and the Security Documents when permitted or required by this Indenture, or any Intercreditor Agreement;

(13) to effect any changes pursuant to Section 5.11;

(14) to effect technical and other changes that are administrative and ministerial in nature (including the party names) that are required in connection with a Permitted Change of Control, so long as such changes do not directly and adversely affect the interests of the Holders; or

(15) to effect technical and other changes that are administrative and ministerial in nature to give effect to any replacement to Adjusted LIBOR Rate (or to effect any other changes that are solely associated with the implementation of such Adjusted LIBOR Rate and are customarily implemented in similar facilities in connection with such implementation), in each case, determined as a result of the procedures set forth in Paragraph 15 of the Notes.

Upon the request of the Issuer, and upon receipt by the Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, of the documents described in Sections 9.06 and 13.03, the Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, if applicable, will join with the Issuer and the Notes Guarantors, if applicable, in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the Notes Documents, Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Documents unless such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the Notes Documents, Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Documents affects the Trustee’s or Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, the Notes Documents, Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Document or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, if applicable, may in their reasonable discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the Notes Documents, Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Documents.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Notes Guarantors, the Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent may amend or supplement the Notes Documents, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements with the consent of the Controlling Party, including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for Notes, and subject to Section 6.04 and Section 6.07, 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 the Notes Documents, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements may be waived with the consent of the Controlling Party (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for this purposes of this Section 9.02.

(b) If the Issuer or the Notes Guarantors amend, modify, waive or supplement any of the Notes Documents, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements as provided in Section 9.02(a), the Issuer or the Notes Guarantors, as applicable, shall offer to each other Holder holding the Notes

136

as of the date of such amendment, modification, waiver or supplement (i) the opportunity to consent to the same amendment, modification, waiver or supplement consented to by the Controlling Party and (ii) an opportunity to participate in any related exchange or similar transaction, and receive a consent fee (if any) upon substantially similar terms and in the same amount as offered to any other Holder.

(c) Upon the request of the Issuer, and upon the filing with the Trustee and Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, of evidence of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee and Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent of the documents described in Section 9.06 and Section 13.03, the Trustee and Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, if applicable, will join with the Issuer and the Notes Guarantors, if applicable, in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the Notes Documents, Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Documents unless such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the Notes Documents, Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Documents affects the Trustee’s or Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, if applicable, may in their reasonable discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the Notes Documents, Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Documents.

It shall 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 or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall send to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to send such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

Without the consent of each directly and adversely affected Holder of Notes, an amendment 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 such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to Section 3.09 to the extent that any such amendment or waiver does not have the effect of reducing the principal of or changing the fixed final maturity of any such Note or altering or waiving the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes) (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute an extension of the fixed final maturity date);

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; provided that this clause (3) shall not prevent the implementation of any successor rate to Adjusted LIBOR Rate as set forth in Exhibit A hereto;

(4) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Controlling Party and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or any Notes Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders;

137

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

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

(7) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions;

(8) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(9) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders;

(10) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Notes Guarantees of Holdings or any Material Subsidiary in any manner materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes or release Holdings or any Notes Guarantor that is a Material Subsidiary from its obligations under its Notes Guarantee or this Indenture;

(11) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions (other than in accordance with the express terms of this Indenture); or

(12) make any change to the provisions in Section 3.02 and 3.09(g)(viii) relating to redemption of the Notes on a Pro Rata Basis or Section 6.13 relating to priorities.

Section 9.03 Note Purchase Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.01 or 9.02 or otherwise in this Article 9, this Article 9 (other than this Section 9.03) shall not apply to the Note Purchase Agreement, it being understood that the Note Purchase Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the terms thereof may be waived, in each case, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.

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 waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.

138

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 Issuer 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 shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06 Trustee and Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments, Etc.

The Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent. The Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the board of directors or similar governing body of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the Notes Documents, Intercreditor Agreements or Security Documents, as the case may be, is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the Notes Documents, Intercreditor Agreements and Security Documents and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and any Notes Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing and upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 9.01 hereof but without limiting the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to be delivered to the Trustee in connection with the addition of a Notes Guarantor under this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10

NOTES GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Guarantee.

Subject to this Article 10, each of the Notes Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent and their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Notes Documents or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, interest, and premium on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Notes Obligations shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the other Notes Documents; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason,

139

the Notes Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Notes Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

The Notes Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture or the other Notes Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to or any amendment of any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, 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 Notes Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Notes Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and the other Notes Documents.

Each Notes Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

Except as set forth in Section 10.02, the obligations of each Notes Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Notes Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of the Trustee, the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent or any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent or any Holder for the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) the failure of the Trustee, the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent or any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Notes Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Issuer; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (h) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Notes Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Notes Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Each Notes Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee, the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

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

140

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

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

In case any provision of any Notes Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The Notes Guarantee issued by any Notes Guarantor shall be a senior secured obligation of such Notes Guarantor and shall be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Indebtedness of such Notes Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is subordinate in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, in which case the obligations of the Notes Guarantors under the Notes Guarantees will rank senior in right of payment to such other Indebtedness.

Each Notes Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Issuer’s and each other Notes Guarantor’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Notes Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Notes Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Notes Guarantor’s Liability.

Each Notes Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Notes Guarantee of such Notes 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 or state law to the extent applicable to any Notes Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Notes Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Notes Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum

141

amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Notes 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 Notes Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Notes Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Notes Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Notes Guarantor that makes a payment under its Notes Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Notes Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Notes Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Notes Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Notes Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery.

To evidence its Notes Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Notes Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Notes Guarantor by a Responsible Officer of such Notes Guarantor.

Each Notes Guarantor hereby agrees that its Notes Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Notes Guarantee on the Notes.

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

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

If required by Section 4.13 hereof, the Issuer shall cause any newly created or acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.13 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.04 Subrogation.

Each Notes Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by any Notes Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Notes Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes or the other Notes Documents shall have been paid in full.

Section 10.05 Benefits Acknowledged.

Each Notes Guarantor acknowledges that it shall receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Notes Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

142

Section 10.06 Release of Guarantees.

A Notes Guarantee by a Notes Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Notes Guarantor, the Issuer or the Trustee is required for the release of such Notes Guarantor’s Notes Guarantee, upon:

(i) (A) with respect to any Notes Guarantor that is a Restricted Subsidiary, any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of the Equity Interests of such Notes Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which the applicable Notes Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary;

(B) with respect to any Notes Guarantor that is a Restricted Subsidiary, the designation of such Restricted Subsidiary that is a Notes Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture or such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise qualifying as an Excluded Subsidiary under such definition (other than solely as a result of becoming a Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary);

(C) the Issuer’s exercising its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof; or

(D) the release or discharge of such Notes Guarantee in accordance with Article 9 of this Indenture; and

(ii) the Issuer delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes, when either:

(i) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii) (A) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, shall become due and payable within one year or may be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer and the Issuer or any Notes 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 Dollars, Government Securities or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(B) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(C) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be

143

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied; provided that any such counsel may rely on any Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii)).

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the provisions of Section 7.07 hereof shall survive and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (A) of clause Section 11.01(ii) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive.

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 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 Issuer’s and any Notes Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 12

COLLATERAL

Section 12.01 Security Documents.

The payment of the principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and the Notes Guarantees when due, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise and whether by the Issuer pursuant to the Notes or by any Notes Guarantor pursuant to its Notes Guarantee, the payment of all other Notes Obligations of the Issuer and the Notes Guarantors under this Indenture, the Notes, the Notes Guarantees and the Security Documents and performance of all other obligations of the Issuer and any Notes Guarantor to the Holders of Notes or the Trustee under this Indenture, the Notes and any Notes Guarantee, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, are secured as provided in the Security Documents, which the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent, the Issuer and the Notes Guarantors have entered into simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture and will be secured by Security Documents delivered after the date of this Indenture as required or permitted by this Indenture, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Security Documents, the Issuer and each Notes Guarantor will, and each Notes Guarantor will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be required to

144

cause the Security Documents to create valid, enforceable and perfected Liens as and to the extent required hereby, and by the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured thereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Issuer and each Notes Guarantor will take, and each Notes Guarantor will cause its Subsidiaries to take any and all actions and make all filings (including the filing of UCC financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto) reasonably required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Notes Obligations of the Issuer hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien in and on all the Collateral ranking in right and priority of payment as to the extent required by this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the other Notes Documents and subject to no other Liens other than as permitted by the terms of this Indenture.

Section 12.02 Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent.

(a) The Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent agrees that it will hold the security interests in the Collateral created under the Security Documents to which it is a party as contemplated by this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreements, and any and all proceeds thereof, for the benefit of, among others, the Trustee and the Holders, without limiting the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent’s rights, including under this Section 12.02, to act in preservation of the security interest in the Collateral. The Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered to appoint one or more co-collateral agents as it deems necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that no Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent hereunder.

(b) Neither the Trustee nor the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness, or sufficiency of the Security Documents or Intercreditor Agreements, for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Lien, including without limitation not being responsible for payment of any Taxes, charges or assessments upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral, or for any defect or deficiency as to any such matters, or for any failure to demand, collect, foreclose or realize upon or otherwise enforce any of the Liens or Security Documents or any delay in doing so. Neither the Trustee nor the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for making any filings or recordings to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent’s Lien in the Collateral, including, without limitation, the filing of any UCC financing statements, continuation statements, Mortgages or any filings with respect to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or U.S. Copyright Office.

(c) The Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent will be subject to such directions as may be given to it by the Trustee, the Controlling Party or the Required Holders from time to time (as required or permitted by this Indenture). Except as directed by the Trustee as required or permitted by this Indenture and any other representatives, and only if indemnified by the Trustee, the Controlling Party or the Required Holders to its satisfaction, the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent will not be obligated:

(i) to act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any Person;

(ii) to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien created under the Security Documents; or

(iii) to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Liens, Security Documents or Collateral.

145

(d) The Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent will be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the enforcement of the Liens or Security Documents.

14. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

15. ALTERNATE RATE OF INTEREST. If (i) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period, the Issuer or the Calculation Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period and the Issuer determines that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) a public statement or publication of information has been made by or on behalf of the administrator of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such Adjusted LIBOR Rate, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (iii) a public statement or publication of information has been made by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, the U.S. Federal Reserve System, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for LIBOR or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, which states that the administrator of such Adjusted LIBOR Rate has ceased or will cease to provide such Adjusted LIBOR Rate, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Adjusted LIBOR Rate or (iv) the supervisor for the administrator of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Calculation Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the London interbank offered rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then in each case the Issuer shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for high yield notes in the United States at such time, and the Issuer shall enter into an amended or supplemental indenture to the Indenture to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to the Indenture as may be applicable in order to administer such alternate rate of interest.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or this Note, such amended or supplemental indenture to the Indenture shall become effective without any further action or consent of any Holder so long as the Issuer shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such amended or supplemental indenture to the Indenture is provided to, prior to the Disposition Date, the Accounts and thereafter, the Holders, a written notice from the Controlling Party stating that such Controlling Party objects to such alternate rate of interest and related amended or supplemental indenture to the Indenture. In the absence of any such objection, the Controlling Party shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed amended or supplemental indenture.

The Issuer shall deliver prompt written notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Calculation Agent identifying the condition triggering the need to determine an alternative rate of interest, the new alternate rate of interest and the proposed amendments to the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such amendment shall become effective only after the Issuer has obtained the consent (or deemed consent pursuant to the immediate preceding paragraph) of Controlling Party in accordance with this Section 15. In the event that the Issuer is unable to obtain the consent (or deemed consent) of Controlling Party or an alternate rate of interest cannot otherwise be determined on the Determination Date, the then existing Applicable Rate for the previous Interest Period shall apply, until the Controlling Party and the Issuer agree on an alternative rate of interest or a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise
