15

for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or any Guarantor) shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If the Issuer or any Guarantor acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05    Holder Lists.

The Issuer and Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes.

Every Holder, by receiving and holding the Notes, agrees with the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee that none of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee or any agent of any of them shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of the Holders, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request.

(vi)    Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer shall 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 (and premium, if any) and interest 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)    The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06.

(viii)    Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

(ix)    At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive

23

Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

(x)    All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

Section 2.07    Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge for its expenses (including any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith and the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in replacing a Note.

In case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

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

The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.08    Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, 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 or paid pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement or payment thereof pursuant to Section 2.07.

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

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

24

Section 2.09    Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer as the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer.

Section 2.10    Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 2.11    Cancellation.

The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever subsequent to the date hereof. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes subsequent to the date hereof, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until such Notes are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation upon receipt of an Issuer Order and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12    Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest which is payable on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date, it shall pay the defaulted interest (1) in any lawful manner or (2) at the Issuer’s (or any Guarantor’s, as the case may be) option, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. In the case of (2) above, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The

25

Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest; provided, that no such Special Record Date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such Special Record Date. At least 10 days before the Special Record Date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the Special Record Date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.13    Issuance of Additional Notes.

The Issuer shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto; provided, that any Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Initial Notes (or with any other Additional Notes) for United States federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP number.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors and in an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(i)    the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and

(ii)    the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes and the amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto.

Any Additional Notes shall vote, together with any Notes previously issued pursuant to this Indenture, as a single class for all matters. In addition to the foregoing, in connection with the issuance of such Additional Notes, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Authentication Order directing the Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Additional Notes along with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent to the issuance of such Additional Notes have been complied with, and that, upon authentication, such Additional Notes shall be valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms (subject to customary assumptions).

ARTICLE 3.

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01    Notices to Trustee.

The election of the Issuer to redeem any Notes shall be evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the redemption provisions of Section 3.07 or Section 3.08 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date and (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed.

26

Section 3.02    Selection of Notes to be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in minimum amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, 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.

Subject to Section 4.10 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date (except that redemption notices may be delivered or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 hereof), the Issuer shall electronically deliver in accordance with the procedures of DTC or mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address as it appears in the Note Register.

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

(a)    the redemption date;

(b)    the redemption price;

(c)    if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

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

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

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

27

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

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 40 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04    Effect of Notice of Redemption.

A notice of redemption may be conditional. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.05    Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or prior to 11:00 a.m. eastern time on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06    Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed provided that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.07    Optional Redemption.

(a)    At any time prior to July 15, 2022, the Issuer may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price equal to 105.750% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date with an amount equal to the net proceeds received by the Issuer from one or more Equity Offerings; provided, however, that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes initially issued under this Indenture remain outstanding immediately following such redemption; and (ii) any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of the date of the closing of any such Equity Offering.

28

(b)    On and after July 15, 2022 the Issuer may on one or more occasions redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice at the applicable redemption price (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of each of the years indicated below:

(c)    At any time prior to July 15, 2022, the Notes shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

(i)    100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus

(ii)    the Applicable Premium

together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

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

The redemption price shall be calculated by the Issuer. The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on such calculation.

Notice of any redemption, including, without limitation, upon an Equity Offering, may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related Equity Offering. If such redemption notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption so delayed.

Section 3.08    Tax Redemption.

The Issuer may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes at any time at 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, if the Issuer or any Guarantor is, has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes, any Additional Amounts or Reimbursement Payments as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including any rules or

29

regulations promulgated thereunder or any treaties or rulings) of any Taxing Jurisdiction, or any change in or amendment to any official application, administration or interpretation of such laws, rules, regulations, treaties or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), in each case, which change or amendment is officially announced by such Taxing Jurisdiction and becomes effective on or after the date of the Offering Memorandum (or, in the case of a Taxing Jurisdiction that did not become a Taxing Jurisdiction until after the Issue Date, on or after the later date on which such Taxing Jurisdiction became a Taxing Jurisdiction under this Indenture) (each such change or amendment, a “Change in Tax Law”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of any such redemption will be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts.

Prior to giving any notice of redemption of Notes pursuant to this section, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred and that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the taking of reasonable measures by the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor (for the avoidance of doubt, including, in the case of a payment by a Guarantor, having the Issuer or another Guarantor make the payment, but not including assignment of the obligation to make payment with respect to the Notes), and (b) a written opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing in the relevant jurisdiction to the effect that the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor is, has become or would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law.

Section 3.09    No Mandatory Redemption.

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

ARTICLE 4.

COVENANTS

The Issuer will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or any Guarantor, holds as of 1:00 p.m. eastern time on the due date, money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

Section 4.02    Maintenance of Office or Agency.

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

30

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York) where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

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

Section 4.03    Existence.

Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its partnership or corporate existence.

Section 4.04    Money for Note Payments to Be Held in Trust.

(a)    If the Issuer or any Guarantor acts at any time as Paying Agent hereunder, it will, on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums are paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

(b)    Whenever the Issuer has one or more Paying Agents for the Notes, it will, on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest and (unless the Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such action or any failure so to act.

(c)    The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent will agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.04, that such Paying Agent will:

(i)    hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums are paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(ii)    give the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest; and

(d)    The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent will be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

31

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

Section 4.05    Taxes.

The Issuer and the Guarantors will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, or upon the income, profits or assets of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, and (ii) all lawful claims against the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the assets of the Issuer or any Guarantors; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

Section 4.06    Stay, Execution and Usury Laws.

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

Section 4.07    Compliance Certificate.

The Issuer will deliver annually to the Trustee within 120 days (or such longer period as the Trustee in its discretion may consent to) after the end of each fiscal year (which on the date hereof ends on December 31), and at any other reasonable time if the Trustee so requires, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under their supervision and to the best of their knowledge, based on such review, the Issuer has complied with all covenants, conditions or other requirements contained in this Indenture, non-compliance with which would, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, constitute an Event of Defaults hereunder or, if the Issuer has not complied with all such requirements, giving particulars as to each non-compliance.

32

Section 4.08    Negative Pledge.

For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will create any mortgage, charge, hypothec, pledge, Lien or other security (“security”) on any of their respective assets to secure any indebtedness for borrowed money, without also at the same time or prior thereto securing equally and ratably with that other indebtedness for borrowed money all of the Notes then outstanding or the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees, as the case may be, provided that this covenant will not apply or operate to prevent:

(a)    any security given in the ordinary course of business to secure any indebtedness payable on demand or maturing within 12 months of the date that such indebtedness is originally incurred, provided that:

(b)    any Purchase Money Mortgage;

(c)    any security given to secure indebtedness incurred for the construction of townsites, employees’ housing, warehouses or office premises;

(d)    any security on any asset of the Issuer or any Guarantor that has not been in commercial production during the 12-month period ending on the date hereof, or has not been in commercial production during the 12-month period ending at the time of the imposition of such security, to secure any indebtedness incurred for the development or improvement thereof or the development or improvement of any other assets of the Issuer or any Guarantor that have not been in commercial production during the 12-month period ending on the date hereof or have not been in commercial production during the 12-month period ending at the time of the imposition of such security;

(e)    any security in favor of the Government of Canada or of the United States of America or the government of any province of Canada or state of the United States of America or any municipality in Canada or the United States of America or any political subdivision, department or agency of any of them or in favor of the Issuer or any Guarantor;

(f)    any security existing on the Issue Date;

(g)     any renewal, refunding or extension of any security referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) to (f) in which the principal outstanding after such renewal, refunding or extension is not increased and the security is limited to the assets originally subject thereto and any improvements thereon;

(h)    any security on assets or stock of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries;

33

(i)    Liens on Escrowed Proceeds for the benefit of the related holders of Additional Notes (or the underwriters or arrangers thereof) or on cash set aside at the time of the incurrence of any Additional Notes or government securities purchased with such cash, in either case to the extent such cash or government securities prefund the payment of interest on such Additional Notes and are held in an escrow account or similar arrangement to be applied for such purpose; or

(j)    any other security, if, after giving effect to the creation of such security, the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness secured by such security would not be greater than 5% of Shareholders’ Equity calculated on a pro forma basis for any acquisition since the date of the most recent quarterly or annual balance sheet, as the case may be.

Section 4.09    Additional Amounts.

(a)    All payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes made by the Issuer or any Guarantor pursuant to the Notes or the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees, respectively, 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 penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Guarantor is organized, incorporated, engaged in business or resident for tax purposes, or from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Issuer or Guarantor, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (collectively, “Taxes” and each such jurisdiction, a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If any amount for or on account of Taxes is so required to be withheld or deducted from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes after such withholding or deduction (including in respect of Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such Holder or beneficial owner would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes or to a third party on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes with respect to:

(i)    any Tax imposed on, or deducted or withheld from, payments in respect of the Notes to a Holder or beneficial owner (x) by reason of such Holder or beneficial owner, or any other Person entitled to payments on the Notes, being a Person with whom the Issuer or a Guarantor does not deal at arm’s length for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) at the time of making such payment, (y) by reason of such Holder or beneficial owner being a person that is, or that does not deal at arm’s length with, a Person who is a “specified shareholder” as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or (z) by reason of the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner of, or possessor of power over, such Holder or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity) and the Taxing Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, any Tax imposed on, or deducted or withheld from, such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s net income) other than the mere ownership, or receiving payments under, or enforcing any rights in respect of, the Notes;

(ii)    except as otherwise specified below, any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property Tax or any similar Tax;

34

(iii)    any Tax imposed on, or deducted or withheld from, payments in respect of the Notes to a Holder or beneficial owner as a result of the failure of such Holder or beneficial owner of Notes (x) to duly and timely comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation, or similar reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, entitlement to treaty benefits, identity or connection with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner or (y) to duly and timely make a declaration, claim or filing for exemption from or reduction in the rate of such Tax, if such compliance or the making of such declaration, claim or filing is required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative pronouncement or practice, as a precondition to exemption from or reduction in the rate of such Tax and if the Issuer or a Guarantor has provided such Holder or beneficial owner or its nominee with at least 30 days’ written notice of any opportunity to so comply or make such declaration, claim or filing;

(iv)    any Tax imposed on, or deducted or withheld from, payments in respect of the Notes to a Holder or beneficial owner which is a fiduciary or partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) or not the sole beneficial owner of such payments to the extent that any beneficiary or settler with respect to such fiduciary, any partner or member of such partnership or any beneficial owner of such payments would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts with respect to such payments had such beneficiary, settler, partner, member or beneficial owner received directly its beneficial or distributive share of such payments;

(v)    any Tax imposed on, or deducted or withheld from, payments in respect of the Notes to a Holder or beneficial owner if such payments could have been made without such imposition, deduction or withholding of such Tax had such Notes been presented for payment (where presentation is required) within 30 days after the date on which such payments or such Notes became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent such Holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had such Notes been presented on the last day of such 30-day period);

(vi)    any Tax payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments in respect of the Notes or the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantee;

(vii)     any Tax imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) of the IRC (“FATCA”) as of the Issue Date, any current or future U.S. Treasury regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the IRC as of the Issue Date (or any amended or successor version of the IRC described above), any intergovernmental agreement between a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the United States with respect to the foregoing (including the Canada-United States Enhanced Tax Information Exchange Agreement Implementation Act (Canada)) or any law, regulation or practice adopted pursuant to any such intergovernmental agreement and for greater certainty FATCA includes Part XVIII (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) as of the Issue Date; or

(viii)    any combination of items (i) through (vii).

(b)    The Issuer or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, will also (i) make such withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law.

35

(c)    The Issuer or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, will furnish the Holders, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Issuer or such Guarantor or, if certified copies of tax receipts are not reasonably available to the Issuer or such Guarantor, such other documentation evidencing such payment by the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor that is reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. The Issuer and the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify each Holder and beneficial owner of the Notes for the amount of (x) any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Holder or beneficial owner as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes or the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees (other than any Taxes for which Additional Amounts would not be payable pursuant to clauses (a)(i) through (a)(viii) above, (y) any cost or expense arising therefrom or with respect thereto, and (z) any Taxes (other than any Taxes for which Additional Amounts would not be payable pursuant to clauses (a)(i) through (a)(viii) above) so levied or imposed with respect to any reimbursement under the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) so that the net amount received by such Holder or beneficial owner after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount the Holder or beneficial owner would have received if Taxes (excluding any such Taxes for which Additional Amounts would not be payable pursuant to clauses (a)(i) through (a)(viii) above) on such reimbursement had not been imposed ((x), (y) and (z) collectively, a “Reimbursement Payment”).

(d)    At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable, if the Issuer or any Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(e)    The Issuer will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise or personal property Taxes that are imposed by any Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration, or enforcement following the occurrence of any Event of Default, of the Notes, this Indenture, the Noteholder Collateral Platform or any other document or instrument in relation thereto, or on the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes or the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantee (except, in the case of any excise or personal property Taxes attributable to payments with respect to the Notes or the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantee, any such Taxes that are imposed by reason of the existence of any connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction described in clause (a)(iii) above).

(f)    This Section 4.09 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 organized, incorporated, engaged in business or resident for tax purposes, or from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax.

Section 4.10    Change of Control.

(a)    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as provided in Article 3 hereof, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to purchase all of each Holder’s Notes (a “Change of Control Offer”). A Holder may tender all or any part (equal to $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of its Notes. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the

36

Notes purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

(b)    Within 30 days following any Change of Control (or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after it is publicly announced), unless the Issuer has given notice to redeem under Section 3.07 or 3.08 hereof, the Issuer shall mail or electronically deliver in accordance with the procedures of DTC a notice to each Holder, at its registered address appearing in the Note Register, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to purchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures specified in this Section 4.10 and described in such notice. If the notice is sent prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control, it shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change of Control. The Change of Control Offer shall be made to all Holders.

(c)    In the event that, pursuant to this Section 4.10, the Issuer shall or shall be required to commence a Change of Control Offer, it shall follow the procedures specified below.

(i)    The Change of Control Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 30 days and not more than 60 days following its commencement (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period, the Issuer shall accept for payment all Notes tendered in response to the Change of Control Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

(ii)    If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

(iii)    Upon the commencement of a Change of Control Offer, the Issuer shall send, by first class mail, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer, shall state:

(1)    that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.10 and the length of time the Change of Control Offer shall remain open. Such notice shall also describe the Change of Control and shall state that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(2)    the amount of the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment Date;

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

(4)    that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Chance of Control Offer shall cease to accrete or accrue interest after the Change of Control Date;

37

(5)    that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or in 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 Notes held by such Holder, even if not $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed;

(6)    that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, a depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice on or before the Change of Control Payment Date;

(7)    that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; and

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

(iv)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes, or portions thereof, properly tendered, and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuer.

(v)    The Paying Agent shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the purchase date) mail or wire transfer to each Holder who properly tenders Notes an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased, if any; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(d)    Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.10, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes an offer to purchase the Notes (a “Third Party Offer”) in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.10 and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under a Third Party Offer.

38

The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.10 or the Notes, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder or under the Notes by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.11    Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

The Issuer will not enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction (except for a period, including renewals, not exceeding 36 months) unless:

(b)    the Issuer applies, within 12 months after the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of the property sold pursuant to the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, or (ii) the fair value (in the opinion of an executive officer of the Issuer) of such property to the acquisition of or construction on property used or to be used in the Issuer’s business or the business of any Subsidiary of the Issuer; or

(c)    subject to the following paragraph, the Issuer applies, within 12 months after the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, an amount equal to the net proceeds of the property sold pursuant to the Sale and Leaseback Transaction to the voluntary defeasance, retirement or satisfaction and discharge of First-Lien Indebtedness or, if the Issuer does not have any First-Lien Indebtedness outstanding at such time, any senior unsecured indebtedness of the Issuer or any indebtedness of a subsidiary of the Issuer, which amount will not be less than the fair value (in the opinion of an executive officer of the Issuer) of such property, less an amount equal to the principal amount of such First-Lien Indebtedness or other indebtedness, as applicable, voluntarily and previously defeased or retired by the Issuer, as the case may be, prior to such 12-month period and not designated as a credit against any other Sale and Leaseback Transaction.

For added clarification, this Section 4.11 shall not apply to any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary of the Issuer.

Section 4.12    Reports.

(a)    So long as any Notes are outstanding:

(i)    if the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements under the securities laws of Canada and is required to file information with one or more securities commissions in Canada (the “Canadian Commissions”), the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee (and the Holders of the Notes and beneficial owners of the Notes, to the extent not otherwise available on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval, or “SEDAR”), as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such information has been filed:

(1)    all quarterly and annual financial information that the Issuer would be required to file with the Canadian Commissions as if it were a reporting issuer under the

39

(2)    all material change reports that the Issuer would be required to file with the Canadian Commissions as if it were a reporting issuer under the securities laws of the Province of Ontario;

(ii)    if the Issuer is not subject to the reporting requirements under the securities laws of Canada or is otherwise not required to file information with the Canadian Commissions, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and, upon request, to beneficial owners of the Notes and prospective investors a copy of all of the financial information and reports referred to in subclauses (1) and (2) of clause (i) above,

(iii)    delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

(b)    At any time that the Issuer is no longer a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange (or another national or similar securities exchange in either Canada or the United States), or is not required to file or furnish on SEDAR the reports and information required to be filed or furnished under clause (a)(i) of this Section 4.12 (or information and reports substantially similar to such reports and information with the Commission on its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system), the Issuer shall also:

(i)    hold a quarterly conference call to discuss the information contained in the annual and quarterly reports required to be furnished under clause (a)(ii) of this Section 4.12 (the “Financial Reports”) not later than 5 Business Days from the time the Issuer furnishes such information to the Trustee;

(ii)    no fewer than 3 Business Days prior to the date of the conference call required to be held in accordance with clause (i) above, issue a press release to the appropriate U.S. wire services announcing, or utilize other means that will, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer, advise beneficial owners of, the time and date of such conference call and directing the beneficial owners of the Notes, prospective investors and securities analysts to contact the investor relations office of the Issuer to obtain the Financial Reports and information on how to access such conference call; and

(iii)    either (x) maintain a non-public website to which beneficial owners of the Notes, prospective investors and securities analysts are given access and to which such Financial Reports and conference call access details are posted or (y) distribute via electronic mail such Financial Reports and conference call details to beneficial owners of the Notes, prospective investors and securities analysts who request to receive such distributions.

(c)    The Issuer will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations pursuant to this Section 4.12 with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to its direct and indirect parent consistent with this Section 4.12. If the direct or indirect parent has more

40

than de minimis operations separate and apart from its ownership in the Issuer, then the Issuer will be required to provide consolidating information, which need not be audited, that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

(d)    In addition, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes and to any prospective purchaser of such Notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act if not otherwise provided.

(b)    The obligations of each Guarantor formed under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia will be limited to the maximum amount that will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

(c)    Each Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor on or after the Issue Date will, pursuant to the Noteholder Collateral Platform, grant a security interest in favor of the Collateral Trustee and will, as promptly as practicable, execute and/or deliver such Security Documents, financing statements, certificates, and opinions of counsel (to the extent, and substantially in the form, delivered on the Issue Date (but of no greater scope)) as may be necessary to provide to the Collateral Trustee a perfected First-Priority Lien in all of its Property that constitutes Collateral to secure its obligations under its Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantee, and as may be necessary to have such Property added to the Collateral as required hereunder and under the Noteholder Collateral Platform, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

(d)    A Guarantor’s obligations under its Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantee, as it relates to the Notes and this Indenture, and the corresponding First-Priority Lien on the Collateral of such Guarantor, shall be released, in accordance with Section 11.03 hereof, at such time as such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary or upon release by the Lenders Collateral Trustee under the Lenders Collateral Platform and otherwise in accordance with Section 10.02 hereof.

Section 6.02    Acceleration.

(a)    If an Event of Default described in clause (a) through (h), inclusive, of Section 6.01 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes then outstanding or the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, the Trustee may, in its discretion, and shall upon requisition in writing made by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice in writing to the Issuer, declare the principal of (and premium, if any, on) the Notes then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon and all other money, if any, owing under the provisions of this Indenture in respect of the Notes to be due and payable immediately on demand.

(b)    At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and the Trustee shall thereupon rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i)    the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(1)    all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;

(2)    all overdue interest on all outstanding Notes;

44

(3)    all unpaid principal of (and premium, if any, on) any outstanding Notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest on such unpaid principal at the rate borne by the Notes;

(4)    interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration; and

(ii)    no such rescission would conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(iii)    all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on the Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.04.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.03    Other Remedies.

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

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04    Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer) or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected; provided that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05    Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it, in good faith, determines that withholding

45

notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest.

Section 6.06    Limitation on Suits.

Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for any remedy thereunder unless:

(a)    such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b)    the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes shall have made a written request to the Trustee to institute such proceeding;

(c)    such Holder or Holders shall have provided indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee to institute such proceeding;

(d)    the Trustee shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days after such notification, request and offer of indemnity; and

(e)    during such 60-day period, the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such written request.

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

Section 6.07    Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Notes (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08    Collection Suit by Trustee.

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

Section 6.09    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determina-

46

tion in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

Section 6.10    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

Section 6.11    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee 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. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.12    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes, including any Guarantor), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.13    Priorities.

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

47

(a)    to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

(c)    to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct, including any Guarantor, if applicable.

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

Section 6.14    Undertaking for Costs.

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

ARTICLE 7.

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01    Duties of Trustee.

(a)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

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

(i)    the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii)    in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

48

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

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

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

(iii)    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.

(e)    No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.

(f)    The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it, except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 7.02    Rights of Trustee.

(a)    The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document, whether in its original or facsimile form believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the 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 on reasonable notice to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(b)    Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall 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.

(c)    The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or gross negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care.

49

(f)    The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g)    The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

(h)    In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(i)    The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that in and during an Event of Default, only the Trustee, and not in any agent capacity, shall be subject to the prudent person standard.

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

Section 7.03    Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.09 and 7.10 hereof.

Section 7.04    Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes (except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder and that there is no material conflict of interest between the Trustee’s role as trustee and its role in any other capacity), it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

50

Section 7.05    Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs, unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders and so informs the Issuer in writing.

Section 7.06    Compensation and Indemnity.

The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. 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 promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in accordance with this Indenture in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, suits, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and the costs and expenses of enforcing the terms of this Indenture or the indemnification obligations herein) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture or the Notes including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or the Notes against the Issuer (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel 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 shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

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

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The Issuer’s obligations under this Section 7.06 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, any termination of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection of this Indenture in any insolvency or similar proceeding and the repayment of all the Notes.

51

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 in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

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

(b)    the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

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

(d)    the Trustee 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 then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

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

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.09, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and 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 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.06 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.08    Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the successor Person without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.09    Eligibility; Disqualification.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to

52

exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that, together with its Affiliates, has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a)(1) and (5) of the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

Section 7.10    Appointment of Co-Trustee.

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 a Person 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 which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint a Person as a separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section 7.10 are adopted to these ends.

In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional Person 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 thereto 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. So long no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any such appointment shall be pursuant to such terms and conditions as are agreed with the Issuer.

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 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, if the Issuer does not execute any such instrument within fifteen (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 of 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.

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

(a)    all rights and powers, conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and may be exercised or performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee; and

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

53

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 7.

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 successor trustee.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated herein or in the Notes (including the right to consent to or approve of any action or document which requires its consent or approval and the right to waive any provision of, or consent to any change or amendment to, any of this Indenture or the Notes) shall not be construed as giving rise to any expressed or implied duty owed by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be answerable in connection with any of the foregoing for, or have any liability whatsoever as a result of, (i) its refusal to perform, consent or approve of such discretionary acts without the prior consent or direction of the applicable percentage of the Holders that would be required if such consent or direction was obtained under this Indenture or (ii) its performance of any such discretionary act (except for any gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such acts).

ARTICLE 8.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01    Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors with respect to the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees with respect to the Notes and cure all then-existing Defaults or Events of Default upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

If the Issuer exercises its Legal Defeasance (as defined in Section 8.02 below) or Covenant Defeasance (as defined in Section 8.03 below) options, each Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantee and will cease to be subject to this Indenture. The Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding the fact that it previously exercised its Covenant Defeasance option.

Section 8.02    Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees with respect to the Notes on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (‘‘Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that each of the Issuer and each Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees with

54

respect to the Notes), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes, the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees with respect to the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer and the Guarantors, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions 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 8.05 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Section 2.07, Section 2.10, Section 4.02, and Section 4.04 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. If the Issuer exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default

Section 8.03    Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.05, 4.07, 4.08 and 4.10 through 4.13 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees with respect to the Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(d), 6.01(e) and 6.01(h) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

55

outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to Stated Maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(b)    in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal 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 Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(c)    in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders 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;

(d)    in the case of an election under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in Canada or a ruling from Canada Revenue Agency to the effect that Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, and will be subject to Canadian federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, had not occurred;

(e)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(f)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(g)    The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or others; and

(h)    the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

56

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

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

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

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

Section 8.06    Repayment to Issuer.

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

Section 8.07    Reinstatement.

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

57

ARTICLE 9.

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01    Without Consent of Holders of the Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuer, the Guarantors, as applicable, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees or the Security Documents without the consent of any Holder:

(a)    to cure any ambiguity, defect, error or inconsistency;

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

(c)    to evidence the assumption by a Successor Person of the covenants and obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor under this Indenture and the Notes then outstanding or the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees;

(d)    to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not materially adversely affect the rights under this Indenture of any such Holder;

(e)    to add guarantees or security with respect to the Notes;

(f)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee;

(g)    to comply with the rules of any applicable Depositary;

(h)    to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes, the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees or the Security Documents to any provision of the “Description of Notes” Section of the Offering Memorandum, to the extent such provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees or the Security Documents was intended to conform to the text of such “Description of Notes” section; or

(i)    provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with this Indenture.

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 14.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and shall make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02    With Consent of Holders of Notes.

(a)    Except as provided below in clause (b) of Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors, as applicable, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees with respect to the Notes with the consent of

58

the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes and its consequences may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 14.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

(b)    Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(ii)    reduce the principal or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions (except those in Section 3.03) with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than provisions under Section 4.10 hereof);

(iii)    reduce the rate or change the time for payment of interest on any Note, including Additional Amounts;

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

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

59

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

(vii)    waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 4.10 hereof);

(viii)    modify or change any provision of this Indenture or the related definitions hereof affecting the ranking of the Notes (under the Noteholder Collateral Platform or otherwise) in a manner that materially adversely affects the Holders;

(ix)    make any change in the provisions of this Indenture or the Noteholder Collateral Platform dealing with the application of proceeds of Collateral that would materially adversely affect the rights of any Holders;

(x)    release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Security Documents or all or substantially all of the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees, other than in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Noteholder Collateral Platform; and

(x)    make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions of Section 9.02(b).

Section 9.03    Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

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

Section 9.04    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

60

Section 9.05    Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amendment or supplement until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amendment or supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.02 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10.

NOTEHOLDER COLLATERAL PLATFORM GUARANTEES

Section 10.01    Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees.

(a)    The obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes shall, as a result of the issuance of the Noteholder Collateral Bond issued to the Trustee pursuant to the Noteholder Collateral Platform, be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis, by each Guarantor under its Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantee and each other Person that the Issuer shall cause to become a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Indenture following the Issue Date.

(b)    Pursuant to the Noteholder Collateral Platform, the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees shall be secured by First-Priority Liens on the portion of the Collateral owned by the applicable Guarantor, subject to Section 4.08 hereof.

Section 10.02    Releases.

A Guarantor will be released from its obligations under its Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantee, as it relates to the Notes and this Indenture, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(a)    in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, by way of consolidation, merger, amalgamation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, in each case, such that it ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Issuer;

(b)    upon payment in full in cash of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium (if any) on, the Notes;

(c)    upon the Issuer exercising its Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance option under Article 8 or the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture otherwise being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(d)    upon a written release of a Guarantor of its Guarantee by the Lenders Collateral Trustee under the Lenders Collateral Platform or upon the return for cancellation of all Lenders Collateral Bonds issued under the Lenders Collateral Platform whether before or following the payment in full of the indebtedness under the Credit Facilities.

61

ARTICLE 11.

SECURITY

Section 11.01    Security.

(a)    The Issuer and each Guarantor have granted First-Priority Liens (subject to Section 4.08 hereof) on their respective Collateral to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Security Documents, which shall be general and continuing Collateral security for the payment and performance of their respective Indenture Obligations (including for certainty their respective obligations under the Noteholder Collateral Bond and Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees). Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Trustee will hold (directly or through co-agents or sub-agents), and will be entitled to enforce, all Liens on the Collateral created by the Security Documents. Except as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Trustee will not act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any Person, commence any exercise of remedies or any foreclosure actions, or otherwise take any actions or proceedings against any of the Collateral.

(b)    For greater certainty, each Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor on or after the Issue Date will also become a party to the applicable Security Documents and will, as promptly as practicable, execute and/or deliver such Security Documents, financing statements, certificates, and opinions of counsel as may be necessary to provide to the Collateral Trustee a perfected First-Priority Lien (subject to Liens permitted under Section 4.08) in all of its Property that constitutes Collateral to secure its Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantee and as may be necessary to have such Property added to the Collateral as required under the Noteholder Collateral Platform and this Indenture, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

(c)    Pursuant to the Security Documents, the Issuer and the Guarantors are required to perfect the security referred to in Section 11.01(a) in all jurisdictions in which the Issuer or the Guarantors, as applicable, have material assets or a principal place of business. Security interests in personal or movable property constituting Collateral will be perfected by the filing of financing statements (or their equivalent) under personal property security legislation (including the Civil Code of Quebec, if applicable) applicable to such personal or movable property. Liens on Collateral consisting of real or immovable property will be taken by way of a fixed charge or immovable hypothec, as applicable, in the owned or leased real or immovable property of the Issuer and the Guarantors only.

Section 11.02    Further Assurances.

The Issuer shall, and shall cause the Guarantors to, at their expense, do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Trustee to assure and confirm that the Collateral Trustee holds, for the benefit of the holders of the indebtedness secured by the Noteholder Collateral Platform, duly created, enforceable, and perfected Liens upon the Collateral. If the Issuer or a Guarantor acquires Property after the Issue Date that is not automatically subject to a perfected security interest or Lien under the Security Documents and such Property would be of the type that would constitute Collateral that is required to be subject to First-Priority Liens, or if a Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor, then the Issuer shall cause such Guarantor to provide security interests in and Liens on such Property (or, in the case of a new Guarantor, on all of its Property constituting Collateral) in favor of the Collateral Trustee acting on behalf of all creditors in respect of indebtedness secured by the Noteholder Collateral Platform of the Issuer and the Guarantors that are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, including the

62

Trustee and the Holders, and deliver certain agreements in respect thereof as required by the Security Documents.

Section 11.03    Release of Security.

(a)    Without derogating from any other provision of this Indenture or the Security Documents which may provide for the release of any security on Collateral:

(i)    the First-Priority Liens on the Collateral will be released in whole with respect to the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture and the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees, as they relate to the Notes and this Indenture, as applicable, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(A)    payment in full in cash of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium (if any) on, the Notes;

(B)    satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture; or

(C)    defeasance pursuant to either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof;

provided that in each case, all amounts owing to the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes and to the Collateral Trustee under the Security Documents have been paid or otherwise provided for to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable; and

(b)    the First-Priority Liens of the Collateral Trustee on the Collateral will automatically be released with respect to any Property constituting Collateral upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(i)    any disposition of such Collateral to any Person other than the Issuer or any Guarantors in any transaction permitted hereunder and under the terms of the other First-Lien Indebtedness (but excluding any transaction subject to Section 5.01 if such other Person is required to become the obligor on the Notes or a Guarantor);

(ii)    upon a written release of Collateral by the Lenders Collateral Trustee under the Lenders Collateral Platform or upon the return for cancellation of all Lenders Collateral Bonds issued under the Lenders Collateral Platform whether before or following the payment in full of the Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities; or

(iii)    upon the sale or disposition of such Collateral pursuant to the exercise of any rights and remedies by the Collateral Trustee with respect to any Collateral, subject to the Security Documents.

ARTICLE 12.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 12.01    Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued thereunder and the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees thereon, when:

63

(a)    either:

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

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

(b)    no Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall occur as a result of such deposit, and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

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

(d)    the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at Stated Maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

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

Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the Guarantors’ respective obligations under the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees, as they relate to the Notes and this Indenture, and the corresponding First-Priority Liens on the Collateral of the Guarantors, shall be released in accordance with Section 11.03 hereof.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section 12.01, the provisions of Sections 12.02, 8.06 and 8.07 hereof shall survive.

Section 12.02    Money Held in Trust.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited

64

with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

ARTICLE 13.

Except as aforesaid, any such consent given by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of

66

such Note and of any Note issued in exchange therefor, in lieu thereof or upon transfer thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders. This Section 13.06 shall not apply to revocations of consents to amendments, supplements or waivers, which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 9.03.

Section 14.11    Agent for Service; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities.

By the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer (i) acknowledges that it has, by separate written instrument, designated and appointed CT Corporation System, 28 Liberty Street, 42nd Floor, New York, New York 10005 as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Noteholder Collateral Platform Guarantees or this Indenture (but for that purpose only) that may be instituted in any U.S. federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, or brought under federal or state securities laws, and acknowledges that CT Corporation System has accepted such designation, (ii) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (iii) agrees that service of process upon CT Corporation System and written notice of said service to it (mailed or delivered to its Chief Financial Officer at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario as specified in Section 14.01 hereof), shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer reserves the right to appoint another Person located or with an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, selected in its discretion, as a successor authorized agent, and upon acceptance of such consent to service of process by such a successor the designation of the prior authorized agent shall terminate. The Issuer shall give notice to the Trustee and all Holders of the designation by them of a successor authorized agent. If for any reason the authorized agent ceases to be able to act as the authorized agent or to have an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the Issuer will designate a successor authorized agent in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Issuer further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment in full force and effect so long as this Indenture shall be in full force and effect.

To the extent that the Issuer has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Issuer hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes, to the extent permitted by law.

Section 14.12    Conversion of Currency.

(a)    (i) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (the “judgment currency”) an amount due in U.S. dollars, then the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or the order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (unless a court shall otherwise determine). (ii) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or an order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and the date of receipt of the amount due, the Issuer will pay such additional (or, as the case may be, such lesser) amount, if any, as may be necessary so that the amount paid in the judgment currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt will produce the amount in U.S. dollars originally due.

(b)    In the event of the winding-up of the Issuer at any time while any amount or damages owing under the Notes or this Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Issuer shall indemnify and hold the Holders and the Trustee harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (1) the date as of which the equivalent of the amount in U.S. dollars due or contingently due under the Notes or this Indenture (other than under this subsection (b)) is calculated for the purposes of such winding-up and (2) the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in such winding-up. For the purpose of this clause (b), the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of the Issuer shall be the date fixed by the liquidator or otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law as being the latest practicable date as at which liabilities of the Issuer may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto.

(c)    The obligations contained in clauses (a)(ii) and (b) of this Section 14.12 shall constitute separate and independent obligations of the Issuer from its other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Issuer, shall apply irrespective of any waiver or extension granted by any Holder or Trustee or either of them from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order or the filing of any proof of claim in the winding-up of the Issuer for a liquidated sum in respect of amounts due hereunder (other than under clause (b) above) or under any such judgment or order. Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holders or the Trustee, as the case may be, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Issuer or the liquidator or otherwise. In the case of clause (b) above, the amount of such deficiency shall not be deemed to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any liquidating distribution.

(d)    The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the rate of exchange quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, noon buying rate on the date of determination for purchases of U.S. dollars with the judgment currency other than U.S. dollars referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable.

(e)    The Trustee shall take no action and shall have no duty or liability with respect to monitoring or enforcing this Section 14.12.

Section 14.13    Severability.

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

[Back of Note]

5.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027

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

1.    INTEREST. Norbord Inc., a corporation existing under the federal laws of Canada, (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.750% per annum from June 24, 2019, until the principal hereof is paid. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15, 2020.¹ The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law to the extent lawful) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Solely for the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest which is equivalent to the rate payable hereunder is the rate payable multiplied by the actual number of days in the year divided by 360.

2.    METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the immediately preceding January 1 and July 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Note Register or by wire transfer to an account maintained by such Holder as specified on the Note Register, provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Global Notes. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

3.    PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates may act in any such capacity.

4.    INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 24, 2019 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited.

A-5

5.    OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

At any time prior to July 15, 2022, the Issuer may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 105.750% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date with an amount equal to the net proceeds received by the Issuer from one or more Equity Offerings; provided, however, that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes initially issued on the Issue Date remain outstanding immediately following such redemption; and (ii) any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of the date of the closing of any such Equity Offering.

On and after July 15, 2022 the Issuer may on one or more occasions redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice at the applicable redemption price (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of each of the years indicated below:

At any time prior to July 15, 2022, the Notes shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus (ii) the Applicable Premium together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

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

6.    MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

7.    TAX REDEMPTION. The Issuer may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes at any time at 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, if the Issuer or any Guarantor is, has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes, any Additional Amounts or Reimbursement Payments as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or any treaties or rulings) of any Taxing Jurisdiction, or any change in or amendment to any official application, administration or interpretation of

A-6

such laws, rules, regulations, treaties or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), in each case, which change or amendment is officially announced by such Taxing Jurisdiction and becomes effective on or after the date of the Offering Memorandum (or, in the case of a Taxing Jurisdiction that did not become a Taxing Jurisdiction until after the Issue Date, on or after the later date on which such Taxing Jurisdiction became a Taxing Jurisdiction under this Indenture) (each such change or amendment, a “Change in Tax Law”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of any such redemption will be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts.

Prior to giving any notice of redemption of Notes pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred and that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the taking of reasonable measures by the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor (for the avoidance of doubt, including, in the case of a payment by a Guarantor, having the Issuer or another Guarantor make the payment, but not including assignment of the obligation to make payment with respect to the Notes), and (b) a written opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing in the relevant jurisdiction to the effect that the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor is, has become or would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law.

8.    PURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER; CHANGE OF CONTROL. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in paragraph 5 hereof, the Issuer shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to purchase all of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within thirty (30) days following any Change of Control (or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after it is publicly announced), unless the Issuer has given notice to redeem under Section 3.07 or 3.08 of the Indenture, the Issuer shall mail or electronically deliver in accordance with the procedures of DTC a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to purchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered, pursuant to the procedures specified in Section 4.10 of the Indenture and described in such notice.

9.    NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be electronically delivered in accordance with the procedures of DTC or mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date (except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 12 of the Indenture) to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address at it appears in the Note Register. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Notice of any redemption, including, without limitation, upon an Equity Offering, may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related Equity Offering. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its

A-7

sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

10.    DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.
