at the option of the Issuer, the date that the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the 'Transaction Agreement Date') may be used as the applicable date of determination, as the case may be, in each case with such pro forma adjustments as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of 'Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio' or 'Consolidated EBITDA' and if the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries could have taken such action on the relevant Transaction Agreement Date in compliance with the applicable ratios or other provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer elects to use the Transaction Agreement Date as the applicable date of determination in accordance with the foregoing, (A) such election may not be revoked, (B) any fluctuation or change in the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Secured Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio, Consolidated Adjusted Net Income, Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets of the Issuer, the target business, or assets to be acquired subsequent to the Transaction Agreement Date and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, will not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any Investment, Restricted Payment, Debt, Redeemable Capital Stock, Preferred Stock or Lien that is being made, incurred or issued in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted to be made, incurred or issued or in connection with compliance by the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries with any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes or any other action or transaction undertaken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction and (C) until such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreements related thereto are terminated, such Limited Condition Transaction and all transactions proposed to be undertaken in connection therewith (including the making of any Restricted Payment, or Investments, or the incurrence of Debt and Liens) will be given pro forma effect when determining compliance of other transactions (including the making of any Restricted Payment, or Investments, or the incurrence or issuance of Debt, Redeemable Capital Stock, Preferred Stock and Liens unrelated to such Investment, acquisition or repayment, repurchase or refinancing of Debt) that are consummated after the Transaction Agreement Date and on or prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction and any such transactions (including any incurrence or issuance of Debt, Redeemable Capital Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof) will be deemed to have occurred on the Transaction Agreement Date and outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any baskets or ratios under

- 34 -

this Indenture after the date of such agreement and before the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction; provided that for purposes of any such calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Interest Expense will be calculated using an assumed interest rate for the Debt to be incurred in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction based on the indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect to such Debt or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the Issuer in good faith.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) incurs Debt, issues Redeemable Capital Stock or Preferred Stock, creates Liens, makes Asset Sales, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or repays any Debt, Redeemable Capital Stock or Preferred Stock in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction under a ratio-based basket and (ii) incurs Debt, issues Redeemable Capital Stock or Preferred Stock, creates Liens, makes Asset Sales, Investments or Restricted Payments, designates any as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or repays any Debt, Redeemable Capital Stock or Preferred Stock in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction under a non-ratio-based basket (which shall occur within five Business Days of the events in clause (i) above), then the applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to any such action under the applicable ratio-based basket without regard to any such action under such non-ratio-based basket made in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction.

(d) Compliance with any requirement relating to absence of Default or Event of Default may be determined as of the Transaction Agreement Date and not as of any later date as would otherwise be required under this Indenture.

(e) In the event an item of Debt, Redeemable Capital Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued, any Lien is incurred or other transaction is undertaken on the same date that any other item of Debt, Redeemable Capital Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued, any other Lien is incurred or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on a ratio basket based on the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, then such ratio will be calculated with respect to such incurrence, issuance or other transaction without regard to any other incurrence, issuance or transaction. Each item of Debt, Redeemable Capital Stock or Preferred Stock that is incurred or issued, each Lien incurred and each other transaction undertaken will be deemed to have been incurred, issued or taken first, to the extent available, pursuant to the relevant Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written

- 36 -

certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or (ii) impair, as between DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream and the Participants, the operation of customary practices of such persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

Except as provided in Sections 2.06, owners of a beneficial interest in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes.

SECTION 2.02 Execution and Authentication

An authorized officer of the Issuer shall sign the Notes on behalf of the Issuer by manual, facsimile or electronic signature.

If an authorized officer of the Issuer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

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

Upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate (a) Original Notes, on the date hereof, for original issue up to an aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 and (b) Additional Notes, from time to time, subject to compliance at the time of issuance of such Additional Notes with the provisions of Section 4.04.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by any such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, co-Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent to deal with the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this Section 2.02 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders.

SECTION 2.03 Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent

The Issuer will maintain one or more paying agents (each, a 'Paying Agent'). The initial Paying Agent will be The Bank of New York Mellon and The Bank of New York Mellon hereby accepts such appointment. The Issuer may change the Paying Agents, the Registrar or the Transfer Agent without prior notice to the holders of the Notes. The Issuer may appoint one or more Transfer Agents, one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent; provided that neither the Issuer nor any of its Subsidiaries shall act as Paying Agent for the purposes of Articles Three and Eight and Sections 4.07 and 4.09.

- 37 -

The Issuer will also maintain one or more registrars (each, a 'Registrar'). The initial Registrar will be The Bank of New York Mellon. The Issuer will also maintain a transfer agent (the 'Transfer Agent'). The initial Transfer Agent will be The Bank of New York Mellon.

Subject to any applicable laws and regulations, the Issuer shall cause the Registrar to keep a register (the 'Register') in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of ownership, exchange and transfer of the Notes. Such registration in the Register shall be conclusive evidence of the ownership of Notes. Included in the books and records for the Notes shall be notations as to whether such Notes have been paid, exchanged or transferred, canceled, lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed and whether such Notes have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so replaced and the Note issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so canceled and the date on which such Note was canceled.

SECTION 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money

Not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time one day prior to each due date of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due on the due date for payment under the Notes. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes), and such Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of any principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act. The Issuer shall on the Business Day prior to the day on which the Paying Agent is to receive any payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, procure that the bank effecting payment for the Issuer confirms by tested Swift MT199 message, email (or equivalent message) to the Paying Agent that the payment instructions relating to such payment have been sent to the Paying Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall be held harmless and have no liability with respect to payments or disbursements to be made by the Paying Agent and Trustee (i) for which payment instructions are not made or that are not otherwise deposited by the respective times set forth in this Section 2.04; and (ii) until the Paying Agent and Trustee have confirmed receipt of funds sufficient to make such relevant payment.

At such time as all Book-Entry Interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Registered Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any Book-Entry Interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Registered Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or the Depositary, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction; and if the Book-Entry Interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a Book-Entry Interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will authenticate, Global Notes and Definitive Registered Notes upon receipt of an Issuer Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar's request.

(ii) No service charge will be made for any registration of a transfer, exchange or redemption of the Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange (but not for a redemption). The Issuer shall make payments on the Global Notes to the Paying Agent for further credit to DTC which will in turn, distribute such payments in accordance with its procedures.

- 45 -

(iii) No Transfer Agent or Registrar will be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(iv) All Global Notes and Definitive Registered Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Registered Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Registered Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(v) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to register the transfer or exchange into its register kept at its registered office of any Definitive Registered Notes: (A) for a period of 15 days prior to any date fixed for the redemption of such series of Notes under Section 3.03 hereof; (B) for a period of 15 days immediately prior to the date fixed for selection of such Notes to be redeemed in part; (C) for a period of 15 days prior to the record date with respect to any interest payment date with respect to such Notes; or (D) which the Holder has tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Excess Proceeds Offer. Any such transfer will be made without charge to the Holder, other than any taxes, duties and governmental charges payable in connection with such transfer or exchange.

(vi) The Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(vii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Issuer, the Trustee or the applicable Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted initially by facsimile with originals to be delivered promptly thereafter to the Trustee; provided that the registration of such transfer or exchange shall only be effected by the Trustee and Registrar following receipt of such originals.

SECTION 2.07 Replacement Notes

If a mutilated certificated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or the office of the Transfer Agent or if the Holder claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee) shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate a replacement Note in such form as the Note that has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken if the Holder satisfies the reasonable requirements of the Issuer and any requirement of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar, any co-Registrar and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

- 46 -

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

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Definitive Registered Note has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be redeemed or purchased by us pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer may, in its discretion, instead of issuing a new Definitive Registered Note, pay, redeem or purchase such Definitive Registered Note, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.08 Outstanding Notes

Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the Note that has been replaced is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest thereon ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.09 Treasury Notes

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Issuer or by an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be disregarded and treated as if they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes that a Trust Officer of the Trustee has received written notice from the Issuer are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee such pledgee's right so to act with respect to the Notes and that such pledgee is not the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

SECTION 2.10 Temporary Notes

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the authenticating agent, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the authenticating agent shall authenticate certificated Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture

- 47 -

SECTION 2.11 Cancellation

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, in accordance with its customary procedures, and no one else shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee's retention policy) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of such cancelled Notes in its customary manner. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.12 Defaulted Interest

Any interest on any Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and this Indenture (all such interest herein called 'Defaulted Interest') shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant record date by virtue of having been paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, such date to be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the proposed payment date and not less than 15 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment date. 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 shall (i) at the same time, deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest, or (ii) make arrangements satisfactory to the Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer shall promptly but, in any event, not less than 15 days prior to the special record date, notify the Trustee of such special record date and, at the request of, and in the name and at the expense of, the Issuer, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment date of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be notified each Holder, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment date of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so notified to Holders, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to clause (b) below.

(b) The Issuer or Guarantor (as the case may be) may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, which may include payment of Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes were registered at the close of business on the original record date for the applicable interest payment or payments, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange and after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment date pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed reasonably practicable.

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, 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, that were carried by such other Note.

- 48 -

SECTION 2.13 Computation of Interest

Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and shall be paid on overdue principal and other overdue amounts at the same rate.

SECTION 2.14 ISIN and CUSIP

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

SECTION 2.15 Issuance of Additional Notes

The Issuer may, subject to Section 4.04 of this Indenture, issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in accordance with the procedures of Section 2.02. Such Additional Notes shall rank pari passu with the Original Notes and shall be issued with the same terms as to status, redemption and otherwise as such Original Notes (save for payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes, for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes or for transfer restrictions). The Original Notes issued on the date of this Indenture and any Additional Notes subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions, and offers to purchase except as otherwise specified with respect to each series of Notes.

Any issue of Additional Notes that is to utilize the same ISIN or CUSIP number as a Note already issued hereunder shall be effected in a manner and under circumstances whereby the issue of Additional Notes is treated as a 'qualified reopening' (within the meaning of U.S. Treas. Reg. § 1.1275-2(k)(3), or any successor provision, as in effect at the time of the further issue) of, or is for U.S. federal income tax purposes otherwise fungible with, the issue of Notes having the shared ISIN or CUSIP number, as the case may be. In the event that any Additional Notes are not fungible with any Notes previously issued for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such non-fungible Additional Notes shall be issued with a separate ISIN, CUSIP or other securities identification number as applicable, so they are distinguishable from such previously issued Notes.

SECTION 2.16 Agents.

(a) Actions of Agents.The rights, powers, duties and obligations and actions of each Agent under this Indenture are several and not joint or joint and several. The Agents shall have no obligation to act if they will incur costs for which they believe they will not be reimbursed.

(b) Agents of the Trustee. The Issuer and the Agents acknowledge and agree that in the event of a Default or Event of Default, the Trustee may, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Agents, require that the Agents act as agents of, and take instructions exclusively from, the Trustee. Until they have received such written notice from the Trustee, the Agents shall act solely as agents of the Issuer and need have no concern for the interests of Holders.

- 49 -

(c) Funds held by Agents.The Agents shall hold all funds as banker subject to the terms of this Indenture, and as a result, such money (i) shall not be held in accordance with the rules established by the Financial Conduct Authority in the Financial Conduct Authority's Handbook of rules and guidance from time to time in relation to client money and (ii) need not be segregated from other funds, except the extent required by law.

(d) Publication of Notices. For so long as the Notes are held as Book-Entry Interests in Global Notes, any obligation the Agents may have to publish a notice to Holders on behalf of the Issuer will be satisfied upon delivery of the notice to DTC.

(e) Instructions to Agents.In the event that instructions given to any Agent are not reasonably clear, then such Agent shall be entitled to seek clarification from the Issuer or other party entitled to give the Agents instructions under this Indenture by written request promptly and in any event within one Business Day of receipt by such Agent of such instructions. If an Agent has sought clarification in accordance with this Section 2.16, then such Agent shall be entitled to take no action until such clarification is provided, and shall not incur any liability for not taking any action pending receipt of such clarification.

(f) Duty of Agents.Save as provided in this Section 2.16, no Agent shall be under any duty or other obligation towards, or have any relationship of agency or trust for or with, any person other than the Issuer. The Agents shall only be obliged to perform those duties expressly set out in this Indenture and no implied obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Agents.

(g) Payments Made by Agents. No Agent shall be required to make any payment under this Indenture unless and until it has received the full amount to be paid in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. To the extent that an Agent has made a payment for which it did not receive the full amount, the Issuer will reimburse the Agent the full amount of any shortfall.

(h) Roles of the Agents.The roles, duties and functions of the Agents are of a mechanical nature and each Agent shall only perform those acts and duties as specifically set out in this Indenture and no other acts, covenants, obligations or duties shall be implied or read into this Indenture against any of the Agents.

(i) Mutual Undertaking Regarding Information Reporting and Collection Obligations. Each party to this Indenture shall, within 10 business days of a written request by another party to this Indenture, supply to such other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to it, its operations, or the Notes as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party's compliance with Applicable Law and shall notify the relevant other party reasonably promptly in the event that it becomes aware that any of the forms, documentation or other information provided by such party is (or becomes) inaccurate in any material respect; provided, however, that no party to this Indenture shall be required to provide any forms, documentation or other information pursuant to this Section 2.16(i) to the extent that: (i) any such form, documentation or other information (or the information required to be provided on such form or documentation) is not reasonably available to such party and cannot be obtained by such party using reasonable efforts; or (ii) doing so would or might in the reasonable opinion of such party constitute a breach of any: (a) Applicable Law; (b) fiduciary duty; or (c) duty of confidentiality. For purposes of this Section 2.16(i), 'Applicable Law' shall be deemed to include (i) any published rule or published practice of any Authority by which any party to this Indenture is bound or with which it is accustomed to comply; (ii) any agreement between any Authorities; and (iii) any agreement between any Authority and any party to this Indenture that is customarily entered into by institutions of a similar nature, in each case, which facilitates the implementation of any information reporting or exchange of information regime.

- 50 -

(j) Notice of Possible Withholding Under FATCA. The Issuer shall notify each Agent in the event that it determines that any payment to be made by an Agent under the Notes is a payment which could be subject to FATCA Withholding if such payment were made to a recipient that is generally unable to receive payments free from FATCA Withholding, and the extent to which the relevant payment is so treated; provided, however, that the Issuer's obligation under this Section 2.16(j) shall apply only to the extent that such payments are so treated by virtue of characteristics of the Issuer, the Notes, or both.

(k) Agent Right to Withhold. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Notes for or on account of any Tax, if and only to the extent so required by Applicable Law, in which event the Agent shall make such payment after such deduction or withholding has been made and shall account to the relevant Authority within the time allowed for the amount so deducted or withheld or, at its option, shall reasonably promptly after making such payment return to the Issuer the amount so deducted or withheld, in which case, the Issuer shall so account to the relevant Authority for such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 2.16(k).

(l) Issuer Right to Redirect. In the event that the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax will be required by Applicable Law in connection with any payment due to any of the Agents on any Notes, then the Issuer will be entitled to redirect or reorganize any such payment in any way that it sees fit in order that the payment may be made without such deduction or withholding provided that, any such redirected or reorganized payment is made through a recognized institution of international standing and otherwise made in accordance with this Agreement. The Issuer will promptly notify the Agents and the Trustee in writing of any such redirection or reorganization. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 2.16(l).

(m) Resignation of Agent.Any Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Indenture at any time by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice of such resignation to the Trustee and Issuer. The Trustee or Issuer may remove any Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice to any Agent. Upon such notice, a successor Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer, who shall provide written notice of such to the Trustee. Such successor Agent shall become the Agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If the Issuer is unable to replace the resigning Agent within thirty (30) days after such notice, the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder in its possession to the Trustee or such Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent or for other appropriate relief. The costs and expenses (including its counsels' fees and expenses) incurred by the Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Issuer. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor Agent, the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder to the successor Agent, less the Agent's fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Agent. Upon its resignation and delivery of any funds, the Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Indenture, but shall continue to enjoy the benefit of Section 7.06.

SECTION 2.17 Deposit of Moneys.

Subject to actual receipt of such funds as provided by this Section 2.17 by the Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall make payments on the Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of its failure to so act.

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION, OFFERS TO PURCHASE

SECTION 3.01 Notices to Trustee

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 or 3.08, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption price and the section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption will occur.

The Issuer shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.01 in writing at least three Business Days before the date notice is mailed or otherwise delivered to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.04 unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer's Certificate from the Issuer to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Issuer and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not less than 15 days after the date of notice to the Trustee.

SECTION 3.02 Selection of Notes to be Redeemed

If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Notes for redemption will be selected on a pro rata or by lot basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than $2,000. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Registrar shall be liable for any selections made in accordance with this paragraph.

No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed or purchased in part. Notes for redemption will be selected in portions equal to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of such Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03 Notice of Redemption

(a) Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is

- 52 -

issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Notices of redemption may be made subject to conditions precedent to the extent set forth in Section 3.04.

(b) The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including ISIN and CUSIP numbers, as applicable) and shall state:

(i) the redemption date;

(ii) the appropriate calculation of the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, to be paid;

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

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

(v) that, if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed, and that, on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be reissued if such Note was held in certificated form;

(vi) that, if any Note contains an ISIN or CUSIP number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of such ISIN or CUSIP number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes;

(vii) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on the Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(viii) whether the redemption is subject to satisfaction of or more conditions precedent, and setting out such conditions and any other information required by this Section 3.03; and

(ix) the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed.

At the Issuer's written request, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall give a notice of redemption in the Issuer's name and at the Issuer's expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee and the Paying Agent with the notice and the other information required by this Section 3.03. For Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of DTC, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to DTC for communication to entitled account Holders in substitution for the aforesaid mailing.

Any notice of redemption made in connection with a related transaction or event (including an Equity Offering, contribution, Change of Control, Asset Sale or other transaction) may, at the Issuer's discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof, and any such redemption or notice (other than a redemption pursuant to Section 3.08) may, at the Issuer's

- 53 -

discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion or occurrence of the related transaction or event, as the case may be. The Issuer may redeem Notes pursuant to one or more of the relevant provisions in this Indenture, and a single notice of redemption may be delivered with respect to redemptions made pursuant to different provisions. Any such notice may provide that redemptions made pursuant to different provisions will have different redemption dates. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and if applicable, will state that, in the Issuer's discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer's discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. 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. If any Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of the exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the exchange of any such redemption and the principal amount of any Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of such Notes. In no event will the Trustee be responsible for monitoring, or charged with knowledge of, the maximum aggregate amount of Notes eligible under this Indenture to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of any applicable conditions, once a notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Notes will remain outstanding until redeemed, notwithstanding that they have been called for redemption or are subject to a notice of redemption.

Notice of redemption shall be deemed to be given when mailed or otherwise delivered, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. In any event, failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Notes held by Holders to whom such notice was properly given.

SECTION 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price

(a) No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest and Additional Amounts (if any) on, all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on all Notes to be purchased or redeemed.

(b) If notice of redemption has been given in the manner provided above, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of any applicable conditions, the Notes or portion of Notes specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price stated therein, together with accrued interest to such redemption date, and on and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Notes at the redemption price and accrued interest to the redemption date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest

- 54 -

from the redemption date at the rate prescribed in the Notes) such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Note shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date; provided that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record date.

SECTION 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part

(a) Upon surrender of a Global Note that is redeemed in part, the Paying Agent shall forward such Global Note to the Trustee, who shall make a notation on the Register to reduce the principal amount of such Global Note to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Global Note surrendered; provided that each such Global Note shall be in a principal amount at final Stated Maturity of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Upon surrender and cancellation of a certificated Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuer's expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered and canceled; provided that each such certificated Note shall be in a principal amount at final Stated Maturity of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof

SECTION 3.07 Optional Redemption

(a) At any time prior to August 1, 2024, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' written notice (which notice for the avoidance of doubt may be given prior to August 1, 2024), the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price equal to 105.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), with an amount equal to or less than the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings. The Issuer may only do this, however, if:

(i) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that were initially issued under this Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries) would remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such proposed redemption (unless all such Notes are redeemed substantially concurrently); and

(ii) each such redemption occurs within 180 days after the closing of such Equity Offering.

SECTION 3.08 Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes

(a) If, as a result of:

(i) any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) or relevant treaties of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or

(ii) any change in the official application or official interpretation or administration of such laws, regulations or rulings or relevant treaties (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), a 'Change in Tax Law'),

the Issuer or any Guarantor would be obligated to pay, on the next date for any payment, Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes, which obligation the Issuer or such Guarantor cannot avoid by the use of reasonable measures available to it (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent where this would be reasonable and, in the case of a payment by a Guarantor, that the payment giving rise to such requirement to pay Additional Amounts cannot be made by the Issuer or another Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts), then the Issuer may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes, at any time thereafter, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice (which notice shall be irrevocable and given in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3.03, at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In the case of redemption due to withholding as a result of a Change in Tax Law in a jurisdiction that is a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction at the date of this Indenture, such Change in Tax Law must become effective on or after the date of this Indenture. In the case of redemption due to withholding as a result of a

-56-

Change in Tax Law in a jurisdiction that becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction after the date of this Indenture, such Change in Tax Law must become effective on or after the date the jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

(b) Prior to the giving of any notice of the redemption described in this Section 3.08, the Issuer or the Guarantor (as the case may be) will deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent:

(i) an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer or a Guarantor (as the case may be) stating that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Issuer's or such Guarantor's taking reasonable measures available to it; and

(ii) a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing addressed to the Issuer or Guarantor (as the case may be) qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the Issuer or such Guarantor has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law.

The Trustee and the Paying Agent will accept, and shall be entitled to rely on, such Officer's Certificate and opinion of counsel, delivered in compliance with clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above, as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the holders of the Notes.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption will be given (i) earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or Guarantor (as the case may be) would be obliged to make such payment of Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes, were then due and (ii) unless at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in effect.

The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Guarantor (and the related Guarantee) to any successor person, after such successor person becomes a party to this Indenture, with respect to a Change in Tax Law occurring after the time such successor person becomes a party to this Indenture.

(d) The Issuer will publish a notice of any optional redemption of the Notes described above in accordance with Section 3.03.

SECTION 3.09 Additional Redemptions and Repurchases

In connection with any Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or other tender offer to purchase all of the Notes, if Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes in such Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or other tender offer and the Issuer purchases, or any third party making such Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or other tender offer in lieu of the Issuer purchases, all of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, given not more than 60 days following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price offered to each other Holder in such Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or other tender offer, plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or other tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

-57-

SECTION 3.10 Sinking Fund; Offers to Purchase; Open Market Purchases

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to comply with Section 2.03.

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the obligation to pay commitment fees, the reclassification of preferred stock as Debt due to a change in accounting principles and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Debt or in the form of additional shares of the same class will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Debt for purposes of this covenant.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with any restriction on the incurrence of Debt in dollars where Debt is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Debt will be equal to the Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of such determination; provided that if any such Debt denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement (with respect to dollars) covering principal amounts payable on such Debt, the amount of such Debt expressed in dollars will be adjusted to take into account the effect of such agreement.

(e) The amount of any Debt outstanding as of any date will be:

(i) in the case of any Debt issued with original issue discount, the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and

(ii) the principal amount of the Debt, in the case of any other Debt; and

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

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

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

(f) If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Debt of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date (and, if such Debt is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under this Section 4.04, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be in Default of this Section 4.04).

(g) In the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described in this Section 4.04, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will classify items of Debt and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Debt in one of such clauses and the Issuer will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Debt in more than one of the types of Debt described in this Section 4.04, and may change the classification of an item of Debt (or any portion thereof) to any other type of Debt described in this Section 4.04 at any time.

(h) The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Debt in the form of additional Debt with the same terms, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Debt due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends or distributions on Preferred Stock or Redeemable Capital Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Preferred Stock or Redeemable Capital Stock will be deemed not to be an incurrence of Debt or an issuance of Preferred Stock or Redeemable Capital Stock for purposes of this covenant.

SECTION 4.05 Limitation on Liens

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind (except for Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Debt, with respect to any of the Issuer's or any Restricted Subsidiary's property or assets, whether owned at or acquired after the date of this Indenture unless:

-64-

(i) in the case of any Lien securing Subordinated Debt, the Issuer's obligations in respect of the Notes are directly secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to the Lien securing such Subordinated Debt until such time as the Subordinated Debt is no longer secured by such Lien; and

(ii) in the case of any other Lien, the Issuer's obligations in respect of the Notes and all other amounts due under this Indenture are equally and ratably secured with the obligation or liability secured by such Lien until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by such Lien.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05:

(i) a Lien need not be incurred solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens described in the definition thereof but is permitted to be incurred in part under any combination thereof; and

(ii) in the event that a Lien (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens, the Issuer will, in its sole discretion, be entitled to divide, classify or reclassify, in whole or in part, any such Lien (or any portion thereof) among one or more of such categories or clauses in any manner.

(c) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to this Section 4.05 will be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in Section 4.05(a) or upon such Liens no longer attaching to assets or property of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary.

Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of the Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; (D) the assumption by the purchaser of any liabilities, as recorded on the balance sheet of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes), that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and as a result of which the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities or are indemnified against further liabilities; (E) Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Issuer and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of such Debt in connection with such Asset Sale; (F) any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (b)(iii) or (b)(v) of this Section 4.07; (G) assets that would constitute a Permitted Investment; (H) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (H) that is at that time outstanding (but, to the extent that any such Designated Noncash Consideration is sold or otherwise liquidated for cash, minus the lesser of (x) the amount of the cash received (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (y) the initial amount of such Designated Noncash Consideration), not to exceed the greater of $500,000,000 or 5.0% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; or (I) a combination of the consideration specified in clauses (A) to (H).

(b) If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary consummates an Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale, within 365 days after the consummation of such Asset Sale, may be used or committed in a binding commitment to be used (provided that such Net Cash Proceeds are actually used within the later of (x) 365 days from the consummation of the Asset Sale or (y) 180 days from the date of such binding commitment or in the case of a Vessel newbuilding commitment upon delivery of the Vessel) at the option of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary:

(d) Any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.07(b) will constitute 'Excess Proceeds.' The Issuer may also at any time, and the Issuer will within ten Business Days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $75,000,000, make an offer to purchase (an 'Excess Proceeds Offer') from all holders of Notes and from the holders of any Pari Passu Debt, to the extent required by the terms thereof, on a pro ratabasis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing any such Pari Passu Debt, the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of the Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased with the amount of the Excess Proceeds (plus in each case all accrued interest on the Debt and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith). The offer price as to each Note and any such Pari Passu Debt will be payable in cash in an amount equal to (solely in the case of the Notes) 100% of the principal amount of such Note and (solely in the case of Pari Passu Debt) no greater than 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of such Pari Passu Debt, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase and Additional Amounts, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption.

If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes will be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata or by lot basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) (based upon the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased as notified by the Issuer to the Trustee) or in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. Upon completion of each such Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

(e) If the Issuer is obligated to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Issuer will purchase the Notes and Pari Passu Debt, at the option of the holders thereof, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000, on a date that is not earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date the notice of the Excess Proceeds Offer is given to such holders, or such later date as may be required under the Exchange Act; provided that no Note of less than $2,000 remains outstanding thereafter.

(f) If the Issuer is required to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Issuer will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws and regulations. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this covenant, the Issuer will comply with such securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this covenant by virtue thereof.

-74-

(xiii) any transaction effected as part of or in connection with a Qualified Securitization Financing;

The Change of Control provisions described above will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditioned upon the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer is made.

(g) The Issuer will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws and regulations in connection with a Change of Control Offer and any Alternate Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

SECTION 4.10 Additional Amounts

(a) All payments that the Issuer makes under or with respect to the Notes or that the Guarantors make under or with respect to the Guarantees will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and other similar liabilities related thereto) of whatever nature (collectively, 'Taxes') imposed or levied on such payments by or on behalf of (1) the Republic of the Marshall Islands, (2) Hong Kong, (3) the United Kingdom, (4) Canada, (5) any jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Guarantor is incorporated, organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which any payment on the Notes is made (including the jurisdiction of any Paying Agent)

-77-

or (6) by or within any political subdivision or governmental authority of or in any of the foregoing having power to tax (each jurisdiction described in (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) or (6), a 'Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction'), unless the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law. If any amounts for or on account of Taxes imposed or levied on behalf of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction are required to be withheld or deducted from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay additional amounts ('Additional Amounts') as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received after such withholding or deduction (including any withholding or deduction in respect of any Additional Amounts) will equal the amount that would have been received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will, however, be required to pay Additional Amounts in respect or on account of:

(i) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes are imposed or levied by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction by reason of the holder's or beneficial owner's present or former connection with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the holder or beneficial owner being, or having been, a citizen, national, or resident, being, or having been, engaged in a trade or business, or having or having had a permanent establishment in a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (but not including, in each case, any connection arising from the mere receipt, ownership, holding or disposition of Notes, or by reason of the receipt of any payments in respect of any Note or any Guarantee, or the exercise or enforcement of rights under any Notes or any Guarantee);

(ii) any Taxes to the extent such Taxes are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the holder or beneficial owner of Notes, following the Issuer's or Guarantor's written request addressed to the relevant holder or beneficial owner made at a time that would enable the holder or beneficial owner acting reasonably to comply with such request, to comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements (to the extent such holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to do so), whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction);

(iii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;

-78-

(vi) any Taxes withheld or deducted on or in respect of any Note pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (commonly referred to as 'FATCA'), any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance enacted by any jurisdiction implementing FATCA, any agreement between either of the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other person and the United States or a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction implementing FATCA, or any law of any jurisdiction implementing an intergovernmental agreement entered into between the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and the United States with respect to FATCA; or

(vii) any combination of items (i) through (vi) above.

(c) The Issuer or the relevant Guarantors, as the case may be, will (i) make such withholding or deduction as is required by applicable law and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law.

(d) At least 30 calendar days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee is due and payable, if the Issuer or a Guarantor become aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to the date on which payment under or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee is due and payable, in which case it will be promptly thereafter), the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor (as the case may be) will deliver to the Trustee (copied to the Paying Agent) an Officer's Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to holders on the payment date. The Trustee and Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer's Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. The Issuer or the relevant Guarantor (as the case may be) will promptly publish a notice in accordance with this Indenture stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and describing the obligation to pay such amounts.

(e) The Issuer or the Guarantors (as the case may be) will pay any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court, documentary, excise or property taxes or other similar taxes, charges and duties, including without limitation, interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in respect of the execution, issue, delivery, registration or enforcement of the Notes or any Guarantee or any other document or instrument referred to thereunder (other than on or in connection with a transfer of the Notes other than the initial resale by the initial purchasers) or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto (limited, solely in the case of taxes attributable to the receipt of any payments with respect thereto, to any such taxes not excluded under clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi) of Section 4.10(b) or any combination thereof).

(f) Upon written request, the Issuer or a Guarantor (as the case may be) will furnish to the Trustee or a holder within a reasonable time certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment by the Issuer or such Guarantor (as the case may be) of any Taxes imposed or levied by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, in accordance with this Indenture, in such form as provided in the normal course by the taxing authority imposing such Taxes and as is reasonably available to the Issuer or such Guarantor. If, notwithstanding the efforts of the Issuer or Guarantor to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, the Issuer or such Guarantor will provide the Trustee or such holder with other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or holder of such payments by the Issuer or Guarantor.

-79-

(g) Whenever this Indenture or the Notes refer to, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note (including payments thereof made pursuant to a Guarantee), such reference includes the payment of Additional Amounts, if applicable.

(h) The preceding provisions will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor person to the Issuer or any Guarantor is incorporated, organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which any payment is made on the Notes (or any Guarantee) and any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

(ii) with respect to any incurrence or guarantee of (or other obligation in respect of) Subordinated Debt by such Restricted Subsidiary, any such guarantee shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary's Guarantee with respect to the Notes at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Debt is subordinated to the Notes.

This Section 4.11(a) will not be applicable to any guarantees of (or other obligation in respect of) any Restricted Subsidiary:

(A) existing on the date of this Indenture (and as to any Permitted Refinancing Debt with respect thereto);

-80-

(B) that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary if the guarantee was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary;

(C) arising solely due to the granting of a Permitted Lien that would not otherwise constitute a guarantee of Debt of the Issuer; or

(iii) make loans or advances to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or

(iv) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor;

provided that dividend or liquidation priority between or among classes or series of Capital Stock, and the subordination of any obligation (including the application of any remedy bars thereto) to any other obligation will not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction.

(b) The provisions of the covenant described in paragraph (a) above will not apply to limitations, encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(i) the Notes (including Additional Notes), this Indenture and any Guarantees thereof;

(iii) any agreement in effect on the Issue Date;

(iv) customary non-assignment and similar provisions in contracts, leases and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

-82-

SECTION 4.13 Designation of Unrestricted and Restricted Subsidiaries

(a) The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.06 or under one or more clauses of the definition of 'Permitted Investments,' as determined by the Issuer. Such designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at such time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

(b) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer's Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted under Section 4.06. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Debt of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date and, if such Debt is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.04, the Issuer will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Debt by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (i) such Debt is permitted under Section 4.04 calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

SECTION 4.14 Provision of Information

(a) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee:

(i) Within 15 days after the time period required under the rules of the SEC for the filing of Form 20-F (or any successor form) for each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, an annual report on Form 20-F (or any successor form) containing the information required to be contained therein

-84-

(including the Issuer's audited consolidated financial statements, a report thereon by the Issuer's independent registered public accounting firm and a Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the 'MD&A') (or equivalent disclosure)) for such fiscal year;

(ii) within 75 days following the end of the first three fiscal quarters in each fiscal year of the Issuer beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2021, reports on Form 6-K (or any successor form) containing, whether or not required, the Issuer's unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements (including a balance sheet and statement of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flow) and an MD&A for and as of the end of such fiscal quarter (with comparable financial statements for the corresponding fiscal quarter of the immediately preceding fiscal year; and

(iii) at or prior to such times as would be required to be filed or furnished to the SEC if the Issuer was then a 'foreign private issuer' subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (whether or not the Issuer is then subject to such requirements), all such other reports and information that the Issuer would have been required to file or furnish pursuant thereto.

(b) So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Issuer will make available to any prospective purchaser of Notes or beneficial owner of Notes in connection with any sale thereof the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(c) At any time that any of the Issuer's subsidiaries are Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the first paragraph of this Section 4.15 will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer.

(d) The Issuer will be deemed to have furnished such information referred to in this covenant to the Trustee and the Holders of Notes if Parent or the Issuer has filed or furnished such information in reports filed with the Commission and such reports are publicly available on the Commission's website; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been so filed or furnished.

SECTION 4.15 [Reserved].

SECTION 4.16 Suspension of Covenants Following Achievement of Investment Grade Status

(a) If on any date following the Issue Date, the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (a 'Suspension Event'), beginning on the day of the Suspension Event and continuing until such time (the 'Suspension Period'), if any, at which the such Notes cease to have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two Rating Agencies (the 'Reversion Date'), the following provisions of this Indenture shall not apply to the Notes:

(i) Section 4.04;

-85-

(ii) Section 4.06;

(iii) Section 4.07;

(iv) Section 4.08;

(v) Section 4.11;

(vi) Section 4.12;

(vii) Section 4.13;

(viii) Section 5.01(a)(iii);

and, in each case, any related default provisions of this Indenture shall cease to be effective and will not be applicable to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) Such provisions and any related default provisions will again apply according to their terms on and after the Reversion Date. Such provisions will not, however, be of any effect with regard to actions of the Restricted Subsidiaries properly taken during the Suspension Period, and Section 4.06 will be interpreted as if it had been in effect since the date of this Indenture except that no default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made during the Suspension Period. On the Reversion Date, all Debt incurred during the continuance of the Suspension Period will be classified as having been incurred pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(iv). Upon the occurrence of a Suspension Period, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(c) The Issuer shall notify the Trustee that the two conditions set forth in Section 4.16(a) have been satisfied; provided that such notification shall not be a condition for the suspension of the covenants set forth above to be effective. The Trustee shall not be obliged to notify holders of such event.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower 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 thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes or to any suit by any Holder pursuant to Section 6.07.

SECTION 6.12 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 proceeding, 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 had been instituted.

SECTION 6.13 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, 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 of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

-93-

SECTION 6.14 Delay or Omission not Waiver

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder 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.

(g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer personally or by agent or attorney.

-96-

(j) The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture will not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so.

(k) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.14 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of the foregoing will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer's compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer's Certificates).

(l) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its rights to be indemnified and secured, are extended to, and will be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent (including the Agents), custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(m) The Trustee shall not be liable for acting in good faith on instructions believed by it to be genuine and from the proper party.

(n) The Trustee may consult with counsel at the cost of the Issuer and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall, subject to Section 7.01(c), be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(o) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer's Certificate setting forth the names of the individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer's Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer's Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(q) The Trustee may assume without inquiry in the absence of written notice that the Issuer and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries is duly complying with their obligations contained in this Indenture required to be performed and observed by them, and that no Default or Event of Default or other event which would require repayment of the Notes has occurred.

(r) The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions ('Instructions') given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Issuer shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions ('Authorized Officers') and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Issuer whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuer elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee's understanding of such Instructions shall be

-97-

deemed controlling. The Issuer understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Issuer shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Issuer and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Issuer. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee's reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.

SECTION 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent. However, in the event that the Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 hereof.

SECTION 7.04 Trustee's Disclaimer

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except for the Trustees certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture and to authenticate the Notes. The Trustee 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 nor shall it be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

SECTION 7.05 Notice of Defaults

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

-98-

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default unless written notice of such Default has been received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 7.06 Compensation and Indemnity

The Issuer and each Guarantor (if any) shall indemnify each of the Trustee and the Agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by each of them without willful misconduct or gross negligence on any of their part arising out of or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of each of their duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim, whether asserted by the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person, or liability in connection with the execution and performance of any of their powers and duties hereunder).

The Issuer or, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay, each Guarantor (if any), shall pay to the Trustee and the Agents such compensation as shall be agreed in writing for its services hereunder. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee and the Agents promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances or expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements, advances and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.

In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Trustee considering it expedient or necessary or being requested by the Issuer to undertake duties which the Trustee reasonably determines to be of an exceptional nature or otherwise outside the scope of the normal duties of the Trustee, the Issuer, or, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay, each Guarantor (if any), jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee promptly upon request for all such additional remuneration for such duties. Such expenses include the compensation, fees, disbursements, expenses and advances of the Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts.

The Issuer and each Guarantor (if any) shall indemnify each of the Trustee and the Agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by each of them without willful misconduct or gross negligence on any of their part arising out of or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of each of their duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim, whether asserted by the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person, or liability in connection with the execution and performance of any of their powers and duties hereunder).

The Trustee and the Agents shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which they may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee and the Agents to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, at the Trustee's sole discretion, defend the claim and the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate and may participate at the Issuer's expense in such defense. Alternatively, the Trustee may at is option have separate counsel of its own choosing and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer shall not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

-99-

To secure the Issuer's payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(1)(viii) or (ix) with respect to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Bankruptcy Law.

The Issuer's obligations under this Section 7.06 and any claim or Lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer's obligations pursuant to Article Eight and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law, and the termination of this Indenture.

SECTION 7.07 Replacement of Trustee

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07.

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09;

(b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(d) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.07 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, at the expense of the Issuer, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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 mail 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 that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06.

-100-

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Issuer.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Issuer's obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger

Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases, such certificates shall have the full force and effect that this Indenture provides that the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

SECTION 7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification

This Indenture shall at all times have a Trustee that is an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state thereof that is authorized to exercise corporate trust power and that is a Person which is generally recognized as a Person which customarily performs such corporate trustee roles and provides such corporate trustee services in transactions similar in nature of the Offering of the Notes as described in the Offering Memorandum.

SECTION 7.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee

(a) It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on Default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers,

rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any action that may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section 7.10 are adopted to these ends.

(b) In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect hereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and only to the extent that the Trustee by the laws of any jurisdiction is incapable of exercising such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the separate or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer; provided that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or the Issuer does not execute any such instrument within 15 days after request therefor, the Trustee shall be empowered as an attorney-in-fact for the Issuer to execute any such instrument in the Issuer's name and stead. In case any separate or co-trustee or a successor to either shall die, become incapable or acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.

(d) Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) all rights, privileges, protections, immunities and powers, conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified and secured, shall be conferred or imposed upon and may be exercised, performed or enforced by such separate trustee or co-trustee; and

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.

(e) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article Seven.

(f) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successors trustee.

DEFEASANCE; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 8.01 Issuer's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance

The Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors as evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer's Certificate, at any time prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Eight.

SECTION 8.02 Defeasance and Discharge

Upon the Issuer's exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to the outstanding Notes and Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, 'Legal Defeasance'). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes and Guarantees and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.08 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due,

(b) the Issuer's obligations with respect to the Notes under Article Two and Section 4.02 hereof,

SECTION 8.03 Covenant Defeasance

Upon the Issuer's exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be released from their obligations under any covenant contained in Sections 4.03 through 4.09, 4.11 through 4.14, and 5.01 with respect to the Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, 'Covenant Defeasance'). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Issuer may omit to comply with and

-103-

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, 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, payment of such Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause 6.01(a)(iv) (solely with respect to such defeased covenant), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) (with respect only to the Significant Subsidiaries) or (ix) (with respect only to the Significant Subsidiaries).

(c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance under Section 8.03, the Issuer must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of a nationally recognized firm to the effect that the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income 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;

(e) the Issuer must have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of a nationally recognized firm subject to customary assumptions and qualifications, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

-104-

(f) If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when due because of any acceleration occurring after an Event of Default, then the Issuer will remain liable for such payments.

SECTION 8.05 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

This Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect when:

(a) either:

(b) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuer under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees; and

Subject to Section 7.06 and Sections 8.01 through 8.04 hereof, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon request set forth in an Officer's Certificate any excess money held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, that remains unclaimed for two years; provided that beforethe Trustee or Paying Agent are required to make any payment to the Issuer, each may require the Issuer to have (a) published once to the newswire service of Bloomberg or, if Bloomberg does not operate, any similar agency or (b) mailed to each Holder entitled to such money at such Holder's address (as set forth in the Register), in each case, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein (which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing) any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

SECTION 8.10 Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations

-106-

the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, 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 cash in dollars or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE TEN

GUARANTEES

SECTION 10.01 Guarantees

(a) As of the Issue Date, the Notes will not be guaranteed by Parent or any of Parent's or the Issuer's Subsidiaries. The following provisions of this Article Ten shall apply to any Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor after the Issue Date. Subject to this Article Ten, each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally, guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors agree that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to 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. Subject to Section 6.06, each Guarantor 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 covenant that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

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

(d) Each 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 Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this 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

-110-

of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor, in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.

(e) In respect to its obligations under its Guarantee, each Guarantor agrees to be bound to, and hereby covenants, with respect to itself, the covenant set forth in Section 6.16.

SECTION 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Article Ten, will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. Until such time as the Notes are paid in full, each Guarantor waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under federal Bankruptcy Law) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee

(a) To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, a Guarantor shall execute a supplemental indenture to this Indenture substantially in the form included in Exhibit D hereto.

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

SECTION 10.04 Releases of Guarantors

(a) A Guarantor will be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations under its Guarantee without any further action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes:

(i) if such Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the Issuer, in connection with any sale or other disposition of (A) all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor or (B) all or substantially all of the properties or assets of such Guarantor (including by way of

-111-

merger or consolidation), in each case to one or more Persons that are not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition, as applicable, does not violate Section 4.07;

(ii) if such Guarantor is a Restricted Subsidiary, the Issuer properly designates such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or the Subsidiary no longer meets the definition of Restricted Subsidiary;

(iii) if the Guarantee was required pursuant to the terms of Section 4.11, the release or discharge of the Debt in connection with which such guarantee was executed pursuant to Section 4.11;

(iv) upon a satisfaction and discharge or a legal or covenant defeasance of the Notes in accordance with Article Eight; or

(v) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor.

(b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article Ten.

(c) In connection with any acknowledgement of release or other written instrument that may be requested from the Trustee in respect of a release of a Guarantee, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely on an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 11.03 as conclusive evidence for release of such Guarantee.

3. Method of Payment

The Issuer shall pay interest on this Note (except defaulted interest) to the persons who are registered Holders of this Note at the close of business on the record date for the next interest payment date even if this Note is cancelled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date.

6. Optional Redemption Prior to August 1, 2024

At any time prior to August 1, 2024 upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' written notice (which notice for the avoidance of doubt may be given prior to August 1, 2024), the Issuer may also redeem all or part of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Redemption Premium of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but not including, the redemption date. Any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer's discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent.

'Applicable Redemption Premium' means on any redemption date prior to August 1, 2024, the greater of: (a) one percent of the principal amount of such Note and (b) the excess of: (i) the present value at such redemption date of the redemption price of such Note at August 1, 2024, plus all required interest payments that would otherwise be due to be paid on such Note during the period between the redemption date and August 1, 2024, excluding accrued but unpaid interest, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate at such redemption date plus 50 basis points, over (ii) the principal amount of such Note on such redemption date.

For the avoidance of doubt, calculation of the Applicable Redemption Premium shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee or any Agent.

At any time on or after August 1, 2024 and prior to maturity, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' written notice, the Issuer may redeem all or part of the Notes.

the Issuer or any Guarantor would be obligated to pay, on the next date for any payment, Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes, which obligation the Issuer or such Guarantor cannot avoid by the use of reasonable measures available to it (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent where this would be reasonable and, in the case of a payment by a Guarantor, that the payment giving rise to such requirement to pay Additional Amounts cannot be made by the Issuer or another Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts), then the Issuer may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes, at any time thereafter, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice (which notice shall be irrevocable and given in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3.03, at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In the case of redemption due to withholding as a result of a Change in Tax Law in a jurisdiction that is a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction at the date of the Indenture, such Change in Tax Law must become effective on or after the date of the Indenture. In the case of redemption due to withholding as a result of a Change in Tax Law in a jurisdiction that becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction after the date of the Indenture, such Change in Tax Law must become effective on or after the date the jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

(b) Prior to the giving of any notice of the redemption described in this Section 3.08, the Issuer or the Guarantor (as the case may be) will deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent:

(i) an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer or a Guarantor (as the case may be) stating that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Issuer's or such Guarantor's taking reasonable measures available to it; and

(ii) a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing addressed to the Issuer or Guarantor (as the case may be) qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the Issuer or such Guarantor has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law.

A-8

The Trustee and the Paying Agent will accept, and shall be entitled to rely on, such Officer's Certificate and opinion of counsel, delivered in compliance with clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above, as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the holders of the Notes.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption will be given (i) earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or Guarantor (as the case may be) would be obliged to make such payment of Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes, were then due and (ii) unless at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in effect.

The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Guarantor (and the related Guarantee) to any successor person, after such successor person becomes a party to the Indenture, with respect to a Change in Tax Law occurring after the time such successor person becomes a party to the Indenture.

The Issuer will publish a notice of any optional redemption of the Notes described above in accordance with Section 3.03 of the Indenture.

9. Optional Redemption Prior to August 1, 2024 upon Equity Offering

The Issuer may only do this, however, if:

(a) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that were initially issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries) would remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such proposed redemption (unless all such Notes are redeemed substantially concurrently); and

(b) each such redemption occurs within 180 days after the closing of such Equity Offering.

Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer's discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related Equity Offering.
