TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation
On March 5, 2010, Eastman Kodak Company (the Company) entered into an Indenture (the
Indenture) by and among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) and The Bank of
New York Mellon, as trustee and as second lien collateral agent, relating to the issuance by the
Company of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the
Notes). The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes were approximately $479
million. Certain terms and conditions of the Notes and the Indenture are as follows:
Interest
The Notes bear interest at the rate of 9.75% per annum, which is payable semiannually in
arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year beginning on September 1, 2010.
Ranking
The Notes are the Companys senior secured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to
any future subordinated indebtedness; rank equally in right of payment with all of the Companys
existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness; are effectively senior in right of payment to the
Companys existing and future unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing the
Notes; are effectively subordinated in right of payment to indebtedness secured by first-priority
liens, including indebtedness under the Companys amended and restated credit agreement, dated as
of March 31, 2009, as amended (the Credit Agreement), or secured by assets that are not part of
the collateral securing the Notes, in each case to the extent of the collateral securing such
indebtedness; and effectively are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
liabilities, including trade payables, of the Companys non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Guarantees
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the Guarantees) on a senior secured
basis by each of the Companys existing and future wholly-owned direct and indirect domestic
subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions (the Subsidiary Guarantors). Each Guarantee of the
Subsidiary Guarantors ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated
indebtedness of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor; ranks equally in right of payment with all
existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor; is
effectively senior in right of payment to the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors existing and future
unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing the Guarantees; is effectively
subordinated in right of payment to its guarantees secured by first-priority liens, including its
guarantee under the Credit Agreement, or secured by assets that are not part of the collateral
securing the Guarantees, in each case to the extent of the collateral securing such Guarantees; and
is effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other
liabilities of any subsidiary of a Subsidiary Guarantor that is not also a guarantor of the Notes.
Security
The Notes and the Guarantees are secured by second-priority liens, subject to permitted liens,
on substantially all of the Companys domestic assets and substantially all of the domestic assets
of the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the Security Agreement (as defined below) executed and
delivered in
connection with the closing of the Notes. Additional terms and conditions regarding the
Security Agreement are described below.
Optional Redemption
At any time prior to March 1, 2014, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at
a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and
unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. At any time
and from time to time on or after March 1, 2014, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in
part, at certain redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the Notes to
be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition,
before March 1, 2013, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the Notes at a redemption price equal to
109.75% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the
redemption date, using proceeds from certain equity offerings, provided that the redemption takes
place within 120 days after the closing of the related equity offering, and not less than 65% of
the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding immediately thereafter.
Change of Control
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the Indenture, each holder of the
Notes has the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of such holders Notes at a
purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
Covenants
The Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, the Companys ability and the
ability of the Companys restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to:
|
|
|
incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; |
|
|

enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and |
|
|
|
|
designate the Companys subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. |
These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

maturity and, in each case, such defaulted payment is not made, waived or extended
within the applicable grace period; |
|
|
|
|

which the Companys insurance carriers have agreed to pay under applicable
policies) during which a stay of enforcement is not in effect; |
|
|
|
|
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any of its
significant subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
any Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture) or a Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its
obligations under its Guarantee; and |
|
|
|
|
the liens created by the Security Agreement do not constitute a valid and (to
the extent required by the Indenture) perfected lien on any material portion of the
collateral, subject to certain exceptions, or the Security Agreement shall be
terminated or cease to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with
its terms) or the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor contests the enforceability
of the Security Agreement. |

incorporated herein by reference.

THE NOTES
Section 2.01 Form, Dating and Denominations; Legends.
The Notes and the Trustees certificate of authentication will be substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit A. The terms and provisions contained in the form of the Notes annexed as
Exhibit A constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have
notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules of or agreements with national securities
exchanges to which the Company is subject, or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its
authentication. The Notes will be issuable in denominations of $2,000 in principal amount and any
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(b) (1) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.01(c), Section 2.09(b)(4), the last sentence

(5) Each Note will bear the OID Legend.

and evidence as the Company may reasonably require) that a Note is eligible for resale pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) (without the need for public
information) and that the Restricted Legend is no longer necessary or appropriate in order to
ensure that subsequent transfers of the Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in
compliance with the Securities Act, or
(2) after an Initial Note or any Additional Note is sold pursuant to a registration statement
that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such sale or transfer,
-32-
the Company may instruct the Trustee to cancel the Note and issue to the Holder thereof (or to its
transferee) a new Note of like tenor and amount, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or
its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend, and the Trustee will comply with such
instruction.
(d) By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Legend (or any beneficial interest in
such a Note), each Holder thereof and each owner of a beneficial interest therein acknowledges the
restrictions on transfer of such Note (and any such beneficial interest) set forth in this
Indenture and in the Restricted Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note (and any such
beneficial interest) only in accordance with this Indenture and such legend.
Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication; Additional Notes.
(a) An Officer shall execute the Notes for the Company by facsimile or manual signature in the
name and on behalf of the Company. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that
office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note will still be valid.
(b) A Note will not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the Note, with the signature conclusive evidence that the Note has been
authenticated under this Indenture.
(c) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication. The Trustee
will authenticate and deliver
(i) Initial Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to
exceed $500,000,000 and
(ii) Additional Notes from time to time for original issue in aggregate
principal amounts specified by the Company; provided that such Additional Notes are
fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
in each case so long as the Trustee shall have received an Officers Certificate specifying
(A) the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are
to be authenticated,
(B) whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes,
(C) in the case of Additional Notes, that the issuance of such Notes does not
contravene any provision of Article 4, and
-33-
(D) whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global Notes or
Certificated Notes.
Section 2.03 Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent; Paying Agent to Hold Money in
Trust.
(a) The Company may appoint one or more Registrars and one or more Paying Agents, and the
Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent in accordance with Section 7.15, in which case each
reference in this Indenture to the Trustee in respect of the obligations of the Trustee to be
performed by that Agent will be deemed to be references to the Agent. The Company may act as
Registrar or (except for purposes of Article 10) Paying Agent. In each case the Company and the
Trustee will enter into an appropriate agreement with the Agent implementing the provisions of this
Indenture relating to the obligations to be performed by the Agent and the related rights. The
Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent.
(b) The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that
the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by
the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and will promptly notify
the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds
disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon
written request to a Paying Agent, require the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the
Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent will have no
further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee.
Section 2.04 Replacement of Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a
Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company will issue
and the Trustee will authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing
a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of
the Company and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. If required by the Trustee or the
Company, an indemnity must be furnished that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and
the Company to protect the Company and the Trustee from any loss they may suffer if a Note is
replaced. The Company may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Company and the Trustee in
replacing a Note. In case the mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay the Note instead of issuing
a replacement Note.
Section 2.05 Outstanding Notes.
(a) Outstanding Notes at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee
except for:
(1) Notes cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to it for cancellation;
-34-
(2) any Note which has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.04 unless and until
the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced
Note is held by a bona fide purchaser; and
(3) on or after the maturity date or any Redemption Date or date for purchase
of the Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, those Notes payable or to be redeemed
or purchased on that date for which the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds money sufficient to pay all amounts
then due.
(b) A Note does not cease to be an Outstanding Note because the Company or one of its
Affiliates holds the Note, provided that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have given or taken any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company will be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding Notes (it being
understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon
any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action,
only Notes which the Trustee knows to be so owned will be so disregarded). Notes so owned which
have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding Notes if the pledgee establishes to
the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgees right so to act with respect to such Notes and that
the pledgee is not the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.
Section 2.06 Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may
prepare and the Trustee will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially
in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other
variations determined to be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced
by the execution of the temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the
temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose pursuant to
Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary Notes
the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.
Section 2.07 Cancellation The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes
previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. Any Registrar or the
Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for transfer, exchange or
payment. The Trustee will cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or
cancellation and dispose of them in accordance with its normal procedures or the
-35-
written
instructions of the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in
full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.08 CUSIP and CINS Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and
CINS numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers or CINS numbers in notices of redemption or
exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders, the notice to state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase. The Company will promptly
notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or CINS numbers.
Section 2.09 Registration, Transfer and Exchange.
(a) The Notes will be issued in registered form only, without coupons, and the Company shall
cause the Trustee to maintain a register (the Register) of the Notes, for registering the record
ownership of the Notes by the Holders and transfers and exchanges of the Notes. The Trustee is
hereby appointed Registrar for the purpose of registering the record ownership of the Notes by
the Holders and transfers and exchanges of Notes, as provided for herein.
(b) (1) Each Global Note will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its
nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depositary thereof, will bear the DTC Legend.
(2) Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary.
Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to
transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their
respective nominees, except as set forth in Section 2.09(b)(4).
(3) Agent Members will have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global
Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and
Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including
any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note through an
Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or
the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members,
the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any
security.
(4) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for a Global Note and a successor depositary is not
-36-
appointed by the
Company within 90 days of the notice or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Trustee has received a request from the Depositary, the Trustee will
promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated
Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in
the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the
Depositary, and thereupon the Global Note will be deemed canceled. If such Note does not
bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will not
bear the Restricted Legend. If such Note bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated
Notes issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend, provided that any Holder
of any such Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Temporary
Offshore Global Note will have the right upon presentation to the Trustee of a duly
completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to exchange such
Certificated Note for a Certificated Note of like tenor and amount that does not bear the
Restricted Legend, registered in the name of such Holder.
(c) Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the holder thereof or its
nominee.
(d) A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person
or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any
authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the
name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied
by any certification, opinion or other document required by Section 2.10. The Trustee
will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section
by noting the same in the register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided that
(x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such
register and
(y) the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed
or purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, (ii) to register the transfer of or
exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part,
except, in the case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note
not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to
an Offer to Purchase is to occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before the
corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any
Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or
purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Company, the Trustee and
their agents will treat the Person in whose name the Note is
-37-
registered as the owner
and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will
not be affected by notice to the contrary.
From time to time the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional
Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in
accordance with this Section.
No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any
Note, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or
other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(4) of
this Section 2.09).
(e) (1) Global Note to Global Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is
transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will
(x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or
exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like
increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one
Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in
another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon
transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in
the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and
exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in
such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.
(2) Global Note to Certificated Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is
transferred or exchanged for a Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x)
record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount
of such transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in
authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in
the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an
exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as applicable.
(3) Certificated Note to Global Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or
exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such
Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal
to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer
or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated
Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized
denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged
portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.
-38-
(4) Certificated Note to Certificated Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or
exchanged for another Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note
being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized
denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the
canceled Certificated Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such
transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than
the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof
one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal
amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note,
registered in the name of the Holder thereof.
Section 2.10 Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange.
(a) The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made
in accordance with this Section, Section 2.09 and, if applicable, Section 2.11, and, in the case of
a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the
Depositary. The Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not
comply with the preceding sentence.
(b) Subject to Section 2.10(c), the transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest
therein) of the type set forth in column A below for a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of

requirements (if any) described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite in column C

|
|
|
|
Certificated Note or a
beneficial interest in a Global Note that either does not bear the Restricted Legend

completed Regulation S Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel and such other
certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require in order to

States; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of
a Certificated Note or a beneficial interest in a Global Note that either does not
bear the Restricted Legend or is no longer subject to the restrictions on transfer
set forth in the Restricted Legend, then no certification is required. In the event
that (i) the requested transfer or exchange takes place after the Restricted Period
and a duly completed Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Trustee or (ii) a
Certificated Note or a beneficial interest in a Global Note that either does not

Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel and such other certifications and evidence
as the Company may reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed
transfer is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable
securities laws of any state of the United States. If the requested transfer or
exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, no
certification is required and the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does
not bear the Restricted Legend. |
(c) No certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note (or a
beneficial interest therein)
-40-
(1) after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (or a successor provision); provided that the Company has provided
the Trustee with an Officers Certificate to that effect, and the Company may
require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this
clause (1) an opinion of counsel and any other reasonable certifications and
evidence in order to support such certificate; or
(2) sold pursuant to a registration statement that is effective under the
Securities Act at the time of such transfer or exchange.

Legend.
(d) The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received
in connection with the transfer or exchange of a Note (or a beneficial interest therein), and the
Company will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written

on behalf of such an owner) may provide to the Trustee (and the Trustee will accept) a duly
completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership at any time after the Restricted Period (it being
understood that the Trustee will not accept any such certificate during the Restricted Period).
Promptly after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect to such a
beneficial interest, the Trustee will cause such beneficial interest to be exchanged for an
equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, and will (x) permanently reduce
the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial
interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount
of such beneficial interest.
(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), if after the Restricted Period any Initial Purchaser owns a
beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note, such Initial Purchaser may, upon written
request to the Trustee accompanied by a certification as to its status as an Initial Purchaser,
exchange such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore
Global Note, and the Trustee will comply with such request and will (x) permanently reduce the
principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest
and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount of such
beneficial interest.
-41-
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any owner of a beneficial
interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note shall not be entitled to receive payment of principal
or interest on such beneficial interest or other amounts in respect of such beneficial interest
until such beneficial interest is exchanged for an interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note or
transferred for an interest in another Global Note or a Certificated Note.
Section 2.12 Title and Terms.
(a) The Notes shall be known and designated as the 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due March 1,
2018 of the Company. The final Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be March 1, 2018. Interest on
the outstanding principal amount of Notes will accrue at the rate of 9.75% per annum in cash and
will be payable semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, to Holders of record at the
close of business on each Regular Record Date. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid,
from the Issue Date (except as provided in the definition of Additional Notes); provided that if
any Note is surrendered for exchange on or after a Regular Record Date for an Interest Payment Date
that will occur on or after the date of such exchange, interest on the Note received in exchange
thereof will accrue from the date of such Interest Payment Date.
(b) Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.
(c) All the Notes shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class, and none of the
Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a class separate from one another on any matter.
Section 2.13 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person
in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and (subject to Section 2.14) interest on such
Note, whether at Stated Maturity, any Redemption Date, purchase date or otherwise, and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Company, the
Guarantors, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 2.14 Payment of Interest Rights Preserved.
Interest on any Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more
predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest.
-42-
Any interest on any Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date (herein called Defaulted Interest) shall forthwith cease to be payable
to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder;
and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, as provided in Section 2.14(a) or Section
2.14(b) below:
(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose
names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on
a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed as provided
in this Section 2.14(a). The Company 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 Company 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 reasonably
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 2.14(a). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days
prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the
Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of
such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of
the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest, the amount thereof and the Special Record Date and
payment date therefor to be delivered to each Holder not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor having been so delivered, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose
names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered on such Special Record Date
and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Section 2.14(b).
(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the
Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (b), such payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14, each Note delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall
carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other
Note.

-44-
|
(2) |
|
the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such Redemption Date of
(i) the Redemption Price of such Note on March 1, 2014 (as stated in Section 3.01),
plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such Note through March 1, 2014
(excluding accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), computed

(a) If the Company elects to redeem Notes, it must notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date
and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed by delivering an Officers Certificate at least 5
Business Days before the date the notice of redemption in respect thereof is to be sent (unless a
shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee). If fewer than all of the Notes are being redeemed,
the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata, by lot or by any other method the
Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate, in denominations of $2,000 principal
amount and integral multiples of $1,000 thereof. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of
the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption. Notice of redemption must be sent by
the Company or at the Companys request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the
Company, to Holders whose Notes are to be redeemed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days
before the Redemption Date.
(b) The notice of redemption will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will include or state
the following:
(1) the Redemption Date;
(2) the Redemption Price, including the portion thereof representing any
accrued interest;
(3) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price and the name and address of the Paying Agents (if any);
(4) that Notes called for redemption must be so surrendered in order to collect
the Redemption Price;
(5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and
payable on Notes called for redemption, and interest on Notes called for redemption
will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
-45-
(6) that if any Note is redeemed in part, on and after the Redemption Date,
upon surrender of such Note, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unredeemed
portion will be issued; and
(7) that if any Note contains a CUSIP or CINS number, no representation is
being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or CINS number either as printed on
the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should
rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.
(c) Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, Notes called for redemption become due
and payable at the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of the Notes called
for redemption, the Company shall redeem such Notes at the Redemption Price. Commencing on the
Redemption Date, Notes redeemed will cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note redeemed
in part, the Holder will receive a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of
the surrendered Note.
(d) If any Note (or portion thereof) called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Note (or portion thereof).
(e) For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be
redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Note that has been or is to be
redeemed.
(f) Any Note that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment
(with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof
or such Holders attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or
Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount
equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.
Section 3.05 Offer to Purchase.
(a) An Offer to Purchase means an offer by the Company to purchase Notes required by Section
4.09 or Section 4.12 of this Indenture. An Offer to Purchase must be made by written offer (the
offer) sent to the Holders. The Company will notify the Trustee at least 10 days (or such
shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to sending the offer to Holders of its
obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the Offer to Purchase will be sent by
-46-
the Company or,
at the Companys request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.
(b) The Offer to Purchase must state the following:
(1) the provision of this Indenture pursuant to which the Offer to Purchase is

interest;
(4) a deadline date for tendering notes (the repurchase deadline) not less

(5) information concerning the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries
which the Company in good faith believes will enable the Holders to make an informed
decision with respect to the Offer to Purchase;

requirement that any portion of a Note tendered must be in a multiple of $1,000
principal amount;
(7) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for tender pursuant
to the Offer to Purchase and the name and address of the Paying Agents (if any);
(8) each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the offer will be
required to surrender such Note at the place or places specified in the offer prior
to the close of business on the repurchase deadline (such Note being, if the Company
or the Trustee so requires, duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed written
instrument of transfer);
(9) interest on any Note not tendered, or tendered but not purchased by the
Company pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, will continue to accrue;
-47-
(10) on the purchase date the purchase price will become due and payable on
each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to
accrue on and after the purchase date;
(11) Holders are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving notice, which
must be received by the Company or the Trustee not later than the close of business
on the repurchase deadline, setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of the tendered Notes, the certificate number of the tendered Notes and a
statement that the Holder is withdrawing all or a portion of the tender;
(12) (i) if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less than or equal to the
purchase amount are duly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer to
Purchase, the Company will purchase all such Notes, and (ii) if the Offer to
Purchase is for less than all of the Outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate
principal amount in excess of the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn
pursuant to the offer, the Company will purchase Notes having an
aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase amount on a pro rata basis,
with adjustments so that only Notes in multiples of $1,000 principal amount will be
purchased;
(13) if any Note is purchased in part, new Notes equal in principal amount to
the unpurchased portion of the Note will be issued; and
(14) if any Note contains a CUSIP or CINS number, no representation is being
made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or CINS number either as printed on the
Notes or as contained in the offer and that the Holder should rely only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Notes.
(c) On or prior to the purchase date, the Company will accept tendered Notes for purchase as
required by the Offer to Purchase and deliver to the Trustee all Notes so accepted together with an
Officers Certificate specifying which Notes have been accepted for purchase. On the purchase date
the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on
Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date. The Trustee will promptly
return to Holders any Notes not accepted for purchase and send to Holders new Notes equal in
principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes accepted for purchase in part.
(d) The Company will comply with Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act (including Rule 14e-1
thereunder) and all securities laws, rules, regulations and other applicable laws (to the extent
such Section 14(e) or applicable laws, rules and regulations are applicable to such Offer to
Purchase) in making any Offer to Purchase, and the above procedures will be deemed modified as
necessary to permit such compliance.

time) on the due date of any principal of or interest on any Notes, or any redemption or purchase
price of the Notes, the Company will deposit with the Trustee (or Paying Agent) money in
immediately available funds sufficient to pay such amounts, provided that if the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company is acting as Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date, segregate

where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes

written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of such office or
agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain such 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. The Company hereby designates
the Corporate Trust Office as an initial Place of Payment and as such office of the Company, and
appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all
-49-
such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands so long as such Corporate Trust Office remains a Place of Payment.
The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other Places of Payment and may
from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the Place of Payment.
Section 4.03 Money for Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as
its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before 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 shall be 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.
If the Company is not acting as its own Paying Agent, it will, prior to each due date of the
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum

Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.03, that such
Paying Agent will:

on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to
such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
(b) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Notes) in the making of any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest;
(c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the
Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and
(d) acknowledge, accept and agree to comply in all respects with the provisions of this
Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act relating to the duties, rights and liabilities of such Paying
Agent.
-50-
The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay,
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company 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 Company or such
Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Note and
remaining unclaimed for the earlier of (i) two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or
interest has become due and payable and (ii) the date such funds would escheat, shall be paid in
the appropriate proportion to the Company upon a Company Request, or (if then held by the Company)
shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured
general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease.
Section 4.04 Financial Reports.
(a) Whether or not the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company must provide the Trustee and
the Holders of the Notes, within 15 days after it is or would be required to file such reports with
the SEC with (i) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be
contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the
Company were required to file such forms, including a Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and, with respect to annual information only, a
report thereon by the Companys certified independent public accountants, and (ii) all current
reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to
file such reports. For the avoidance of doubt, such information and reports referred to in clauses
(i) and (ii) above shall not be required to contain separate financial information for Guarantors
or Subsidiaries whose securities are pledged to secure the notes that would be required under Rule
3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC.
(b) The Company shall be deemed to have complied with this covenant, and shall be deemed to
have provided such documents to the Holders, to the extent the Company has filed or furnished
documents and reports referred to in clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this Section 4.04 with the SEC
via the EDGAR system or any successor electronic delivery procedures within the time periods
specified in Section 4.04(a).
(c) For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and constitute restricted securities
under Rule 144, the Company will furnish to the holders of the notes and
-51-
prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act.
(d) Compliance with the foregoing shall constitute delivery by the Company of such reports to
the Trustee in compliance with this Section 4.04. The Trustee shall have no duty to search for or
obtain any electronic or other filings that the Company makes with the SEC, regardless of whether
such filings are periodic, supplemental or otherwise. Delivery of such reports, information and
documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.04 is for informational purposes only and the
Trustees receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained
therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Companys compliance with
any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on
Officers Certificates).
Section 4.05 Certificates to Trustee.
(a) The Company will deliver to the Trustee within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year a
certificate stating that no Default then exists under this Indenture or, if a Default then exists,

(b) The Company will deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within 30
days after the Company becomes aware or should reasonably become aware of the occurrence of a
Default, an Officers Certificate setting forth the details of the Default, and the action which

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.06, for purposes of determining
compliance with this Section 4.06, increases in Debt solely due to fluctuations in the exchange
rates of currencies will not be deemed to exceed the maximum amount that the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary may Incur under this Section 4.06. For purposes of determining compliance
with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, the U.S. dollar-equivalent
principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the
relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Debt was Incurred; provided that if such
Debt is Incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing
would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the
relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such
refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been
exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal
amount of such Debt being refinanced. The principal amount of any Debt Incurred to refinance other
Debt, if Incurred in a different currency from the Debt being refinanced, shall be calculated based
on
-55-
the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Debt is
denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.
(d) In the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt
described in this Section 4.06, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify items of Debt
and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Debt in one of such clauses and
the Company will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Debt in more than one of the types
of Debt described in this Section 4.06, and may change the classification of an item of Debt (or
any portion thereof) to any other type of Debt described in this Section 4.06 at any time; provided
that Debt under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date shall be deemed at all times to
be incurred under clause (b)(i) of this Section 4.06. For purposes of determining any particular
amount of Debt described in this Section 4.06, Guarantees, liens or obligations, in each case, in
support of letters of credit supporting Debt shall not be included to the extent such letters of
credit are included in the amount of Debt.
(e) Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or
amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of
additional Debt of the same class will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt for purposes of
this Section 4.06 but will be included in subsequent calculations of the amount of outstanding Debt
for purposes of Incurring future Debt.
(f) Neither the Company nor any Guarantor may Incur any Debt that is subordinate in right of
payment to other Debt of the Company or the Guarantor unless such Debt is also subordinate in right
of payment to the Notes or the relevant Note Guaranty, as the case may be, to the extent and in the
same manner as such Debt is subordinated to other Debt. This does not apply to distinctions between
categories of Debt that exist by reason of any Liens or Guarantees securing or in favor of some but
not all of such Debt otherwise permitted hereunder. For purposes of this Indenture (i) unsecured
Debt shall not be deemed subordinated or junior to secured Debt merely because it is unsecured and
(ii) senior Debt shall not be deemed subordinated or junior to any other senior Debt merely because
it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.
Section 4.07 Limitation on Restricted Payments.
(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly (the payments and other actions described in the following clauses being collectively
Restricted Payments):

dividends or distributions paid in the Companys Qualified Equity Interests) held by Persons other

100% of such deficit, plus
(B) subject to Section 4.07(c), the aggregate net cash proceeds and Fair Market Value of any
property or assets received by the Company (other than from a Subsidiary) on or after the Issue
Date from the issuance and sale of its Qualified Equity Interests, including by way of issuance of
its Disqualified Equity Interests or Debt to the extent since converted into Qualified Equity
Interests of the Company, plus

included in Consolidated Net Income), plus
(y) the portion (proportionate to the Companys or Restricted Subsidiarys, as
applicable, equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the assets less
liabilities of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is
designated a Restricted Subsidiary,
not to exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments made
after the Issue Date by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Unrestricted

twelve-month period after the Issue Date does not exceed an aggregate amount of $5,000,000;
(viii) the repurchase of any Subordinated Debt or Disqualified Stock at a purchase price not

in effect on the Issue Date, and any extensions, renewals, replacements or refinancings of any of
the foregoing; provided that the encumbrances and restrictions in the extension, renewal,

Section 4.09 Limitation on Asset Sales.
(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset
Sale unless the following conditions are met:
(i) The Asset Sale is for at least Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by the
Company in a manner consistent with its customary practices.
(ii) At least 75% of the consideration (the valuation thereof to be reasonably determined by
the Company) consists of cash or Cash Equivalents received at closing, which cash or Cash
Equivalents shall be pledged as Collateral to the extent the assets disposed of were (or were
required to be) Collateral. For purposes of this clause (ii), (A) the assumption by the purchaser
of Debt or other obligations (other than Subordinated Debt or other
-62-
obligations subordinated by
their terms in right of payment to the Notes) of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to
a customary novation agreement, and instruments or securities received from the purchaser that are
promptly, but in any event within 180 days of the closing, converted by the Company to cash, to the
extent of the cash actually so received, shall be considered cash received at closing and (B) any
Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary having an
aggregate Fair Market Value (measured at the time received and without giving effect to any
subsequent change in value), taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration
received pursuant to this clause (B) that has not been transferred, sold or otherwise exchanged
for, or otherwise converted into, cash, not to exceed 5.0% of the Total Assets of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration,
shall be considered cash received at closing.
(iii) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Net
Cash Proceeds may be used at the Companys option:
(A) to permanently repay (1) First-Priority Lien Obligations of the Company or a Guarantor or,
if the assets disposed of were not (and were not required to be) Collateral, any Debt of
a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (and in the case of a
revolving credit, permanently reduce the commitment thereunder by such amount), in each case owing
to a Person other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (2) Debt of the type described
in Section 4.06(b)(ix) to the extent such Debt is secured by the property or assets that are the
subject of such Asset Sale,
(B) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of a Permitted Business, or a majority
of the Voting Stock of another Person that thereupon becomes a Restricted Subsidiary engaged in a
Permitted Business, or to make capital expenditures or otherwise acquire Additional Assets;
provided that to the extent the assets disposed of were (or were required to be) Collateral, the
assets acquired shall be pledged as Collateral, or
(C) any combination of clauses (A) through (B) above,
provided that, in the cases of this clause (iii), a binding commitment shall be treated as a
permitted application of Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company
or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation
that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such
commitment (an Acceptable Commitment) and, in the event that any Acceptable Commitment is later
cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in connection
therewith, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a
Second Commitment) or applies such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with clause (A), (B) or (C)
above within 180 days of such cancellation or termination; provided, further, that if any Second
Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Cash Proceeds are
applied, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.
-63-
(iv) The Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale not applied pursuant to clause (iii) of this
Section 4.09(a) within 360 days of the Asset Sale constitute Excess Proceeds. Excess Proceeds of
less than $50,000,000 will be carried forward and accumulated. When accumulated Excess Proceeds
equal or exceed such amount, the Company must, within 60 days, make an Offer to Purchase Notes
having a principal amount equal to
(A) accumulated Excess Proceeds, multiplied by
(B) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the
Notes and (2) the denominator of which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes
and all Debt secured by Liens on the Collateral of the same priority as the Liens securing the
Notes similarly required to be repaid, redeemed or tendered for in connection with the Asset Sale,
rounded down to the nearest $1,000. The purchase price for the Notes will be 100% of the principal
amount plus accrued interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase. If the Offer to Purchase is
for less than all of the Outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of
the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer, the Company will purchase
Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase
amount on a pro rata basis, with adjustments so that only Notes in multiples of $1,000 principal
amount will be purchased. Upon completion of the Offer to Purchase, the amount of the Excess
Proceeds will be reset at zero, and any previously deemed Excess Proceeds remaining after
consummation of the Offer to Purchase may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this
Indenture.
(b) The Company will comply with Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act (including Rule 14e-1
thereunder) and all securities laws, rules, regulations and other applicable laws (to the extent
such Section 14(e) or applicable laws, rules and regulations are applicable to such Offer to
Purchase) in making any Offer to Purchase, and the above procedures will be deemed modified as
necessary to permit such compliance.
(c) Pending the application of any such Excess Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary may use such Excess Proceeds to temporarily reduce revolving indebtedness under a Credit
Facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Excess Proceeds in cash or Cash Equivalents.
Section 4.10 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.
(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into, renew
or extend any transaction or arrangement, including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of
property or assets, or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary (a Related Party Transaction), except upon fair and reasonable terms no
less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company or the Restricted
-64-
Subsidiary than could be
obtained in a comparable arms-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the
Company.
(b) Any Related Party Transaction or series of Related Party Transactions with an aggregate
value in excess of $50,000,000 must first be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of
the Company who are disinterested in the subject matter of the transaction pursuant to a Board
Resolution, unless there are no members of the Board of Directors of the Company that are
disinterested in the subject matter of the transaction, in which case such transaction must be
approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) The foregoing paragraphs do not apply to
(i) any transaction between the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between

exist any Lien of any nature whatsoever on any of its properties or assets, whether owned at the
Issue Date or thereafter acquired, other than Permitted Liens.

Lien Obligations upon any asset that is not at the time Collateral, it must promptly (and in no
event more than two Business Days thereafter) grant a second priority Lien upon such asset as
security for the Notes or Note Guaranty, such that the applicable asset becomes Collateral.
Section 4.12 Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control.
(a) Not later than 30 days following a Change of Control, unless the Company has previously or
concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all Outstanding Notes as set forth under
Section 3.01, the Company will make an Offer to Purchase all Outstanding Notes at a purchase price

with the requirements applicable to an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Offer to Purchase may be made in
advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon the occurrence of such Change of Control, if a

Business, except to
an extent that so doing would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole.
Section 4.14 Limited Applicability of Covenants when Notes are Rated Investment-Grade.
(a) During any period of time after the Issue Date that (i) the Notes are rated Investment
Grade by each of S&P and Moodys (or, if either (or both) of S&P and Moodys have been substituted
in accordance with the definition of Rating Agencies, by each of the then applicable Rating
Agencies) and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants in Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 or
clause (3) of Section 5.01(a) (the Suspended Covenants).
(b) Additionally, at such time as the above referenced covenants are suspended (a Suspension
Period), the Company will no longer be permitted to designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary unless the Company would have been permitted to designate such Subsidiary
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if a Suspension Period had not been in effect for any period and such
designation shall be deemed to have created a Restricted Payment as set forth in Section 4.07
following the Reversion Date (as defined below).
(c) In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the
Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of Section 4.14(a), and on any subsequent
date (the Reversion Date) the condition set forth in clause (i) of Section 4.14(a) is no longer
satisfied, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the
Suspended Covenant with respect to future events.
(d) On each Reversion Date, all Debt incurred during the Suspension Period prior to such
Reversion Date will be deemed to be Debt incurred pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(viii). For purposes
of calculating the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (3) of Section
4.07(a), calculations under Section 4.07 shall be made as though such covenant had been in effect
during the entire period of time after the Issue Date (including the Suspension Period).
Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period not otherwise permitted pursuant under
Section 4.07(b) will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (3)
of Section 4.07(a); provided that the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments on the
Reversion Date shall not be reduced to below zero solely as a result of such Restricted Payments.
For purposes of Section 4.09, on the Reversion Date, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to
the amount of Excess Proceeds in effect as of the first day of the Suspension Period ending on such
Reversion Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither (i) the continued existence, after the Reversion Date, of
facts and circumstances or obligations that were incurred or otherwise came into existence
-67-
during a Suspension Period nor (ii) the performance of any such obligations, shall constitute a breach of
any covenant set forth in this Indenture or cause a Default or Event of Default; provided that (x)
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries did not incur or otherwise cause such facts and
circumstances or obligations to exist in anticipation of a withdrawal or downgrade by the
applicable Rating Agency below an Investment Grade Rating and (y) the Company reasonably believed
that such incurrence or actions would not result in such withdrawal or downgrade.
Section 4.15 Existence. The Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and the existence of each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with their respective organizational documents, and the
material rights, licenses and franchises of the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary, provided
that the Company is not required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the existence
of any Restricted Subsidiary, if the maintenance or preservation thereof is no longer desirable in
the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and
provided further that this Section does not prohibit any transaction otherwise permitted by Section
4.09 or Article 5.
Section 4.16 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge and shall
cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged,
before the same shall become delinquent (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental
charges levied or imposed upon (i) the Company or any such Subsidiary, (ii) the income or profits
of any such Subsidiary which is a corporation or (iii) the property of the Company or any such
Subsidiary and (b) all material lawful claims for labor materials and supplies that, if unpaid,
might by law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or any such Subsidiary; provided that
the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, any such
tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or
validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which
adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP.
Section 4.17 Maintenance of Properties and Insurance.
(a) The Company will cause all material assets necessary in the conduct of its business or the
business of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair
and working order (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and will cause to be made all necessary
repairs, renewals and replacements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary
so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times;
provided that nothing in this Section 4.17 shall prevent the Company or any such Restricted
Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such assets or disposing
or abandoning of any of them, if such discontinuance, disposal or abandonment is, in the judgment
of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary.
-68-
(b) The Company will maintain, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
maintain (either in the Companys name or in such Subsidiarys own name) insurance on all their
respective properties consistent with the insurance maintained on the Issue Date or otherwise in at
least such amounts (with no materially greater risk retention) and against at least such risks as
are usually maintained, retained or insured against in the same general area by companies of
established repute owning similar properties in such area and engaged in the same or a similar
business, in either case, to the extent available to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries on
commercially reasonable terms, provided that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may
self-insure to the extent consistent with prudent business practices.
Section 4.18 Additional Note Guaranties. If (a) the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries acquires or creates a Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary (other than any such
Subsidiary that is an Excluded Subsidiary) or (b) any Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary
that is an Excluded Subsidiary ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, such Wholly Owned Domestic
Restricted Subsidiary must provide a Note Guaranty within 30 days after such acquisition or
creation or after the date on which such Subsidiary ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, as the
case may be, by executing the Supplemental Indenture attached hereto as Exhibit B.
Section 4.19 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Subsidiary, including a newly
acquired or created Subsidiary, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it meets the following
qualifications and the designation would not cause a Default:
(i) Such Subsidiary does not own any Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
(other than any Subsidiary of such Subsidiary that is also being designated to be an Unrestricted

Once so designated the Subsidiary will remain an Unrestricted Subsidiary, subject to Section
4.19(b).
(b) (i) A Subsidiary previously designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary which fails to meet the
qualifications set forth in Section 4.19(a) will be deemed to become at that time a Restricted

the Companys proportional share of the Fair Market Value of its assets less liabilities) will be
deemed made at that time; provided that Investments held by any Person prior to the time such
Person becomes a Subsidiary that (A) are Permitted Investments of the type described in clause (8),
(9), (13) or (17) of the definition thereof, or (B) are made pursuant to Section 4.07(a) will not
be deemed to be Investments at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary and is designated an
Unrestricted Subsidiary;
(ii) all existing Capital Stock or Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it
will be deemed Incurred at that time, and all Liens on property of the Company or a Restricted

(iv) it is released at that time from its Note Guaranty (if any), and Liens on its assets
securing its Note Guaranty (if any) are released; and
(v) it will cease to be subject to the provisions of this Indenture as a Restricted

Subsidiary,
-70-

-74-
(5) there occurs with respect to any Debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries having an

case, such defaulted payment is not made, waived or extended within the applicable grace period;
(6) one or more final judgments or orders for the payment of money are rendered against the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and are not paid or discharged, and there is a period of 60
consecutive days following entry of the final judgment or order that causes the aggregate amount
for all such final judgments or orders outstanding and not paid or discharged against all such
Persons to exceed $50,000,000 (in excess of amounts which the Companys insurance carriers have
agreed to pay under applicable policies) during which a stay of enforcement, by reason of a pending
appeal or otherwise, is not in effect;
(7) an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such

and (to the extent perfection by filing, registration, recordation or possession is required by

intended to be covered thereby other than (A) in accordance with the terms of the relevant Security
Agreement and this Indenture, (B) in connection with the satisfaction in full of all Obligations
under this Indenture or (C) as a result of the release or amendment of any such Lien in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture or the Security Agreements, or (ii) any of the
-75-
Security Agreements
shall for whatever reason be terminated or cease to be in full force and effect (except for
expiration in accordance with its terms or amendment, modification, waiver, termination or release
in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the relevant Security Agreement), or the
enforceability thereof shall be contested by the Company or any Guarantor.
Section 6.02 Acceleration.
(a) If an Event of Default, other than a Bankruptcy Default with respect to the Company,
occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company (and to
the Trustee if the notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such
Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes to be immediately due and
payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and interest will become immediately
due and payable. If a Bankruptcy Default occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of and
accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding will become immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
(b) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by written notice
to the Company and to the Trustee may waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration
of acceleration and its consequences if
(1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by the declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived, and
(2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at
law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of 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.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if the Company so elects, the sole
remedy of the Holders for (x) a failure to comply with any obligations that the Company may have or
may be deemed to have pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act or (y) the Companys
failure to comply with Section 4.04, will for the first 180 days after the occurrence of such
failure consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes at a rate per
annum: equal to (i) 0.25% for the first 90 days after the occurrence of such failure (which 90th
day will be the 150th day after written notice of such failure to comply is
-76-
provided as set forth
above) and (ii) 0.50% from the 91st day to, and including, the 180th day after the occurrence of
such failure (Additional Interest). Additional Interest will accrue on all Outstanding Notes from
and including the date on which such failure first occurs until such violation is cured or waived
and shall be payable on each relevant Interest Payment Date to Holders of record on the Regular
Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. On the 181st day after such failure
(if such violation is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), such failure will then
constitute an Event of Default without any further notice or lapse of time and the Notes will be
subject to acceleration as provided above. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references
to interest contained herein shall be deemed to include Additional Interest.
Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.02, 6.07 and
9.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may, by notice to the
Trustee, waive an existing Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, the Default will cease
to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured, but no such
waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee
under this Indenture or the Security Agreements. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or the Security Agreements, that may involve it
in personal liability, or that it determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights
of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction, and may take any other action it
deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of the Notes;
provided, that (x) the rights of the Trustee, in its capacity as Second Lien Collateral Agent, to
exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral are subject in all respects to the Collateral
Trust Agreement, which provides that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall at all times act in
accordance with the direction of the Majority Holders (as defined in the Collateral Trust
Agreement) and (y) the rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent to exercise remedies with respect
to the Collateral are subject in all respects to the Intercreditor Agreement, notwithstanding any
directions received from the Holders of the Notes and any other Second-Priority Lien Obligations.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security
Agreements, unless:
(1) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default;
-77-
(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of the Event of Default in its
own name as Trustee under this Indenture or as Second Lien Collateral Agent under the Security
Agreements, as applicable;
(3) Holders have offered to the Trustee (including in its capacity as Second Lien Collateral
Agent) indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses
to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written
request.
Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
the right of a Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of or interest on its Note on or
after the Stated Maturities thereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after such respective dates, may not be impaired or affected without the consent of that Holder;
provided that no Holder may institute any such suit (and shall promptly dismiss such suit upon
request by the trustee or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes), if and
to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein
would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver, or loss of the Lien
of such Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.
Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal or
interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the whole amount of
principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and
overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes, and such further
amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any
other amounts due the Trustee hereunder.
Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the Holders allowed in any
judicial proceedings relating to the Company or any Guarantor or their respective creditors or
property, and is entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money, securities or
other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such
claims, subject to any applicable restrictions set forth in the
-78-
Intercreditor Agreement. Any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee
and, if the Trustee consents 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 agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing in
this Indenture will be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6 or from
the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral, it shall, subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement, pay out the money in the following
order:
First: to the Trustee for all amounts due to it hereunder;
Second: to Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Notes,
ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on
the Notes for principal and interest; and
Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.10 upon five Business Days prior notice to the Company.
Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as
Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the
costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees,
against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply
to a suit by a Holder to enforce payment of principal of or interest on any Note on the respective
due dates, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes.
Section 6.12 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted
any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or any Note 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 the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the
Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
-79-
thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.
Section 6.13 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Holders under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not
prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.
Section 6.14 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company and each Guarantor
covenants, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon, or
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension
law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company or the Guarantor from
paying all or any portion of the principal of, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein,
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture. The Company and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the
extent that it may lawfully do so, 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 had been enacted.
Section 6.15 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 will 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 6 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 7.04 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. The recitals contained herein
and in the Notes, except the Trustees certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or

obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for

Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become
the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Section 7.09 and Section 7.14, may otherwise deal

costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by a Holder or any other
person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder.
The Companys payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.08 shall survive the discharge of
this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses
after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Default, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect.
Section 7.09 Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting
interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, within 90 days the Trustee shall either
eliminate such conflicting interest, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee with
-84-
such conflicting interest, or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to
the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act,
the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under
this Indenture with respect to Notes, or a trustee under any other indenture between the Company
and the Trustee.
Section 7.10 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be one (and
only one) Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust
Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. If
any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.10
and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such
Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.10, it shall resign immediately in the manner and
with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
Section 7.11 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.12.
(b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 7.12 shall not have been
delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee (and the Company shall reimburse the resigning Trustee for any reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses that it incurs in connection with any such petition).
(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If the instrument of
acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 7.12 shall not have been delivered to the
Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee (and the
Company shall reimburse the Trustee being removed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it
incurs in connection with any such petition).
If at any time:
-85-
(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.09 after written request therefor by the
Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months, or
(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.10 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or
(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent
or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation,
then, in any such case, (A) the Company may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 6.11, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.
(d) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.12. If, within one year
after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor
Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so
appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 7.12, become the successor Trustee and to that extent supersede
the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section
7.12, then, subject to Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six
months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(e) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each
appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 13.03. Each
notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.
Section 7.12 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee
so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
-86-
of the retiring
Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall,
upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder.
(b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts referred to above.
(c) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance
such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 7.
Section 7.13 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation
into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of
the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger,
conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and
deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Notes.
Section 7.14 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. If and when the Trustee
shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims
against the Company (or any such other obligor).
Section 7.15 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating
Agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced
by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer, a copy of which instrument shall be
promptly furnished to the Company. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an
Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this
Indenture to authentication (or execution of a certificate of authentication) by the Trustee
includes authentication (or execution of a certificate of authentication) by such Authenticating
Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for
service of notices and demands.

mandatory redemption or, in respect of an optional redemption, the times at which any Note may be
redeemed or, once notice of redemption has been given, the time at which it must thereupon be
redeemed;
(iv) after the time an Offer to Purchase is required to have been made, reduce the purchase
amount or purchase price, or extend the latest repurchase deadline or purchase date thereunder;
(v) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note;
-90-
(vi) impair the right of any Holder of Notes to receive any principal payment or interest
payment on such Holders Notes, on or after the Stated Maturity thereof, or to institute suit for
the enforcement of any such payment;
(vii) make any change in the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes required for
amendments or waivers;
(viii) subordinate any Notes to any other obligation of the Company or subordinate any Note
Guaranty to any other obligation of the applicable Guarantor;
(ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, except as permitted by this
Indenture; or
(x) make any change in any Note Guaranty that would adversely affect the Holders.
(c) It is not necessary for Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
supplement or waiver, but is sufficient if their consent approves the substance thereof.
(d) An amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section will become effective on receipt by
the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of
the Outstanding Notes. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes
effective, the Company will send to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the
amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company will send supplemental indentures to Holders upon
request. Any failure of the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however,
in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.
Section 9.03 Effect of Consent.
(a) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder
unless it is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment,
supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the amendment,
supplement or waiver will bind each Holder that has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of
a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder.
(b) If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require
the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation of
the changed terms on the Note and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Note that
reflects the changed terms. The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note
thereafter authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver is not
affected by any failure to annotate or exchange Notes in this fashion.
-91-
Section 9.04 Trustees Rights and Obligations. The Trustee shall be provided with, and will
be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any
amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by
this Indenture. If the Trustee has received such an Opinion of Counsel, it shall sign the
amendment, supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely affect the rights of the
Trustee. The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver
that affects the Trustees own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.
Section 9.05 Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed
pursuant to this Article 9 shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act if required
by the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.
Section 9.06 Payments for Consents. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates may, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way
of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or
amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such
consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent,
waive or agree to amend such term or provision within the time period set forth in the solicitation
documents relating to the consent, waiver or amendment.

Section 11.02 Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are
unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will not be

assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company contained in this
Indenture or any Note;
(e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which such Guarantor may have at any
time against the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion
of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;
(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of
this Indenture, any Note or any Security Agreement, or any provision of applicable
-96-
law or
regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company of the principal of or interest on any
Note or any other amount payable by the Company under this Indenture; or
(g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any
other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this
paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantors obligations
hereunder.
Section 11.03 Discharge; Reinstatement. Each Guarantors obligations hereunder will remain in
full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all
other amounts payable by the Company under this Indenture have been paid in full. If at any time
any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount
payable by the Company under this Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, each Guarantors
obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had
been due but not made at such time.
Section 11.04 Waiver by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof,
presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement
that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company or any other Person.
Section 11.05 Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with respect to any
obligation of the Company under this Article 11, the Guarantor making such payment will be
subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such obligation; provided
that such Guarantor may not enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive
payment in the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Guarantor, with
respect to such payment, so long as any amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the
Notes remains unpaid.
Section 11.06 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount
payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the
terms of this Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by
the Trustee or the Holders.
Section 11.07 Limits of Guarantees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article
11, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the Note Guaranty of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent
conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code
or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the
Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under
its Note Guaranty are limited to the maximum amount that
-97-
would not render the Guarantors
obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United
States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. In addition, each Guarantor and,
by its acceptance of the Notes, each Holder hereby acknowledges that the rights and remedies of
such Guarantor and Holders are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 11.08 Execution and Delivery of Note Guaranty. The execution by each Guarantor of
this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B) evidences the Note Guaranty
of such Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds
that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee
after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Note Guaranty set forth in this Indenture on
behalf of each Guarantor.
Section 11.09 Release of Note Guaranty.
(a) A Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Note Guaranty, this
Indenture and the Security Agreements (if applicable):

assets of the Guarantor (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise permitted
by this Indenture;
(ii) upon the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture;

permitted hereunder without giving effect to this clause (v));
and in each case the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate, stating that
all conditions precedent herein relating to such release have been complied with and that such
release is authorized and permitted hereunder.
(b) If all of the conditions to release contained in this Section 11.09 have been satisfied,

-98-
Guarantor in

(b) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement,
the Second Lien Collateral Agent will hold (directly or through co-trustees or agents), and will be
entitled to enforce on behalf of the Holders of Notes, all Liens on the Collateral.
(c) All of the rights, protections, benefits, privileges, indemnities and immunities granted
to the Trustee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the Second Lien Collateral Agent acting
hereunder and under the Security Agreements.
Section 12.06 Replacement of Second Lien Collateral Agent. The Second Lien Collateral Agent
may resign or may be removed in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Collateral Trust
Agreement.
Section 12.07 Collateral Trust Agreement. This Article 12 and the provisions of each Security
Agreement are subject to the terms, conditions and benefits set forth in the Collateral Trust
Agreement.
Section 12.08 Agreement for the Benefit of Holders of First-Priority Liens. The Trustee and
each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note agrees, that:
(a) The Liens on the Collateral are, to the extent and in the manner provided in the
Intercreditor Agreement, subject to and subordinate in ranking to all present and future Liens on
the Collateral with a first-priority; and the Intercreditor Agreement will be enforceable by the
First Lien Agent, for the benefit of the holders of First-Priority Lien Obligations, until the

release.
(b) As among the First Lien Agent, the Trustee, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the
Holders of the Notes and the holders of the First-Priority Lien Obligations, the holders of the

obtain remedies with respect to all Collateral without the necessity of any consent or of any
notice to the Trustee, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any such Holder, subject to the
limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 12.09 Notes and Note Guaranties Not Subordinated. The provisions of Section 12.08 are
intended solely to set forth the relative ranking, as Liens, of the Liens on the Collateral
securing the Notes and the Note Guaranties as against the Liens on the Collateral securing the
First-Priority Lien Obligations. The Notes and the Note Guaranties are senior obligations of the
Company and the Guarantors. Neither the Notes and the Note Guaranties nor the exercise or
enforcement of any right or remedy for the payment or collection thereof (other than the exercise
of rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral, which are subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement) are intended to be, or will ever be by reason of the provisions of Section 12.08, in any
respect subordinated, deferred, postponed, restricted or prejudiced.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one

become effective irrevocably as to the Holder when such instrument or instruments are delivered to
the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or
instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
to as the Act of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of
this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and
any other obligor upon the Notes, if made in the manner provided in this Section 13.14.

proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public
or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership or other entity, on behalf of such
corporation or partnership or other entity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of such Persons authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such
instrument or writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any
other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Notes shall be conclusively established by the Register.
-108-
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by
the Holder of any Note shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the
Trustee, the Company or any other obligor on the Notes in reliance thereon, whether or not notation
of such action is made upon such Note.
(e) (i) The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the
Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
given, made or taken by Holders, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice,
declaration, request or direction referred to in Section 13.14(e)(ii). If any record date is set
pursuant to this clause, the Holders of Outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly
designated proxies), and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether
or not such Persons remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be
effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to any applicable Expiration Date by
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any
action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this clause (whereupon the
record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of
no effect, whether or not the Expiration Date, if any, with respect to a record date has previously
passed), and nothing in this clause shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken.
Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this clause, the Company, at its own expense,
shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder in the manner set forth in
Section 13.03.
(ii) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders
of Outstanding Notes entitled to join in the giving or making of (w) any notice of Default, (x) any
declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 6.02, (y) any request to institute proceedings
referred to in Section 6.06(2), or (z) any direction referred to in Section 6.05, in each case with
respect to Notes, and shall set an Expiration Date for such Acts. If any record date is set
pursuant to this clause, the Holders of Outstanding Notes on such record date, and no other
Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be
effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this clause shall
be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a
record date has previously been set pursuant to this clause (whereupon the record date previously
set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and
nothing in this clause shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken.
-109-
Promptly after
any record date is set pursuant to this clause, the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall
cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date
to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 13.03.
(iii) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 13.14, the party hereto
that sets such record dates may designate any day as the Expiration Date and from time to time
may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be
effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the Company or the Trustee
(whichever such party is not setting a record date pursuant to this Section 13.14(e)) in writing,
and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 13.03, on or prior to the existing Expiration
Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this
Section, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated
the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its
right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.
(iv) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder
with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount
of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount, provided however, that unless
otherwise expressly stated in such Holders Act, any Act shall be deemed to have been given with
respect to the entire principal amount of such Holders Note or Notes.
Section 13.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, EACH GUARANTOR AND THE TRUSTEE
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section 13.16 Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any
failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by,
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work
stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use
reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume
performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

Interest will be payable in cash semiannually in arrears (to the holders of record of the
Notes at the close of business on the February 15 or August 15 immediately preceding the interest
payment date) on each interest payment date, commencing September 1, 2010.
Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on
this Note (or, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest and if this Note is
authenticated between a regular record date and the next interest payment date, from such interest
payment date) or, if no interest has been paid, from [the Issue Date].2 Interest will
be computed in the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

overdue interest, at the rate otherwise applicable to the Notes. Interest not paid when due and
any interest on principal, premium or interest not paid when due will be paid to the Persons that
are Holders on a special record date, which will be the 15th day preceding the date fixed by the
Company for the payment of such interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15

permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and
the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control.
The Notes are general obligations of the Company which are secured by the Security Agreements.
The Indenture limits the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes to $500,000,000, but
Additional Notes may be issued pursuant to the Indenture, and the originally issued Notes and all

set forth in the Indenture.
3. Redemption and Repurchase; Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.
This Note is subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of an Offer to Purchase,

permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the
Trustee will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note or certain
portions of a Note.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due
and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company occurs and is
continuing, the Notes automatically become due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture
or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory
to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise
of remedies.

ambiguity, defect or inconsistency.

6
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the relative rights and remedies of the
Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Secured Parties and the obligations of the Grantors hereunder
shall be subject to and governed by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement at any time the
Intercreditor Agreement is in effect. At any time prior to the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations, in the case of Collateral as to which possession or control by the Collateral Agent is
required under this Agreement, the Grantors shall be deemed to have satisfied such obligations by
delivery of such Collateral or the grant of control to the First Lien Agent. In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement
shall control at any time the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect.
Section 3. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each

obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no Second Lien
Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in
the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Second Lien Document, nor shall any Second

Section 4. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral.
(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all certificates or instruments
representing or evidencing existing Security Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on
behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by
delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank,
all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent except to the extent that
such transfer or assignment is (x) prohibited by applicable law or (y) subject to certain corporate
actions by the holders or issuers of non-US Initial Pledged Equity which have not occurred as of
the date such delivery is required and governmental approvals or consents to pledge or transfer
with respect to non-US Material Subsidiaries which have not yet been obtained as to which Grantor
shall use commercially reasonable effects to complete as soon as practicable after the date hereof.
(b) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to any Security
Collateral representing interest in Material Subsidiaries in which any Grantor has any right, title
or interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security, such Grantor will use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the issuer thereof to agree in an authenticated record with such
Grantor and the Collateral Agent that, upon notice from the Collateral Agent that an Actionable
Default has occurred and is continuing, such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to
such security originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such
authenticated record to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
Upon the request of the Collateral Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Actionable Default, each Grantor will notify each issuer of other Security Collateral as provided
in Section 4(e) below.
7
(c) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to any securities or
commodity account, any Security Collateral that constitutes a security entitlement as to which the
financial institution acting as Collateral Agent hereunder is not the securities intermediary, upon
the request of the Collateral Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Actionable
Default the relevant Grantor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the securities
intermediary with respect to such security or commodity account or security entitlement to identify
in its records the Collateral Agent as the entitlement holder thereof.
(d) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the request of Collateral Agent
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Actionable Default, each Grantor shall cause
the Security Collateral to be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or such of its
nominees as the Collateral Agent shall direct, subject only to the revocable rights specified in
Section 12(a). In addition, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral
Agent shall have the right upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Actionable Default
to convert Security Collateral consisting of financial assets credited to any securities account or
the L/C Cash Deposit Account to Security Collateral consisting of financial assets held directly by
the Collateral Agent, and to convert Security Collateral consisting of financial assets held
directly by the Collateral Agent to Security Collateral consisting of financial assets credited to
any securities or commodity account or the L/C Cash Deposit Account.
(e) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Actionable Default, each Grantor will notify each issuer of Security Collateral granted by it
hereunder that such Security Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Second Lien Documents, (i) with respect to
any security documents under foreign law to be delivered with respect to Material Subsidiaries as
of the date of this Agreement, the Company shall have 120 days from the date of this Agreement to
deliver such security documents to the Collateral Agent, and no Actionable Default shall arise as a
result of any failure to deliver such security documents prior to such time and (ii) the Company
will not be required to perfect under foreign law the security interest granted hereunder in any
Collateral consisting of Capital Stock or other equity interests of any Foreign Subsidiary
(including by entering into a foreign law governed pledge agreement) to the extent that (A) the
granting of a second-priority security interest therein is not permitted by applicable foreign law
or (B) the Company shall have reasonably determined that perfecting such security interest under
applicable foreign law is not commercially feasible; provided that:
(X) the preceding clause (ii) shall be inapplicable to the security documents
under foreign law to be delivered with respect to Material Subsidiaries as of the
date of this Agreement; and
(Y) the Company shall not be permitted to rely on the exclusions set forth in
the preceding clause (ii) unless it shall have
(1) reasonably determined, on the basis of advice of local counsel in the
applicable foreign jurisdiction, that (x) the granting and/or
8
perfection of a second priority security interest in the applicable Capital Stock or
other equity interests in favor of the Second Lien Secured Parties is not permitted
by applicable foreign law (if applicable) and (y) that alternative arrangements
designed to provide the same or comparable economic benefit to the Second Lien
Secured Parties as a perfected second priority pledge (including, but not limited
to, surplus pledges and the use of parallel debt obligations) are unavailable
under applicable foreign law; and
(2) delivered to the Collateral Agent an Officers Certificate to the effect
that the exclusions set forth in the preceding clause (ii) are available to the
Company and setting forth the rationale therefor and the steps taken by the Company
in attempting to provide a perfected second priority security interest in the
applicable Capital Stock or other equity interests in favor of the Second Lien
Secured Parties.
It is understood and agreed that, to the extent that the granting of a perfected second
priority security interest in the applicable Capital Stock or other equity interests in favor of
the Second Lien Secured Parties, or the effectuation of alternative arrangements designed to
provide the same or comparable economic benefit to the Second Lien Secured Parties, would require
amendments or other modifications to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement or
any other Second Lien Collateral Document, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
procure any required consents to such amendments or modifications from the applicable parties
(which efforts shall not require the payment of any consent fee) before being permitted to rely on
the exclusions set forth in clause (ii) of paragraph (f) (it being understood that the Company
shall not be required to seek consents from any Second Lien Secured Party to the extent that such
Second Lien Secured Party has consented to such amendment or modification pursuant to Section 8.18
of the Collateral Trust Agreement).
Section 5. Maintaining the Account Collateral. So long as any Second Lien Obligation shall
remain outstanding (other than any indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand for
payment, whether oral or written, has been made):
(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to any Pledged Deposit
Account, upon the request of the Collateral Agent made upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Actionable Default, each Grantor will promptly enter into an agreement with the
financial institution holding the applicable Pledged Deposit Account pursuant to which such
financial institution shall agree with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent to, upon notice from
the Collateral Agent, comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent directing the
disposition of funds in such deposit account without the further consent of such Grantor, such
agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (a Deposit
Account Control Agreement), and instruct each Person obligated at any time to make any payment to
such Grantor for any reason (an Obligor) to make such payment to any such Pledged Deposit Account
or the L/C Cash Deposit Account; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the
applicable Grantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Deposit Account Control
Agreements with respect to the Pledged Deposit Accounts listed on Schedule X hereto within 90 days
following the date hereof.
9
(b) Upon notice from the Collateral Agent that an Actionable Default has occurred and is
continuing, each Grantor agrees to terminate any or all Pledged Deposit Accounts, other than those
Pledged Deposit Accounts (x) maintained with the First Lien Agent, or (y) subject to Deposit
Account Control Agreements, upon request by the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement.
(c) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, at any time
and without notice to, or consent from, the Grantor, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds
from the Pledged Deposit Accounts or the L/C Cash Deposit Account to satisfy the Grantors
obligations under the Second Lien Documents if an Actionable Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. As soon as reasonably practicable after any such transfer, the Collateral Agent agrees
to give written notice thereof to the applicable Grantor.

(o) The Inventory that has been produced or distributed by such Grantor has been produced in
compliance with all requirements of applicable law except where the failure to so comply would not

of the Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Secured Party under any Secured Agreement or (c) the

(p) As to itself and its Intellectual Property Collateral:
(i) The operation of such Grantors business as currently conducted or as contemplated
to be conducted and the use of the Intellectual Property Collateral in connection therewith
do not conflict with, infringe, misappropriate, dilute, misuse or otherwise violate the
intellectual property rights of any third party, except as are not expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(ii) Such Grantor is the exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to
Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights contained in the Intellectual Property Collateral, except
as set forth in Schedule IV hereto with respect to co-ownership of certain Patents; and such
Grantor is entitled to use all such Intellectual Property Collateral in accordance with
applicable law; in each case subject to the terms of the IP Agreements.

of the registered patents, patent applications, domain names, trademark registrations and
applications, copyright registrations and applications owned by such Grantor as of the date
set forth on Schedule IV.

the use of any Intellectual Property Collateral or the validity of effectiveness of any such
Intellectual Property Collateral, nor does the Company know of any valid basis for any such
claim, except, in either case, for such claims that in the aggregate are not reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of
13
such Intellectual Property Collateral by the Company and its Subsidiaries does not
infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that, in the
aggregate, are not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Second Lien Documents will not result in the
termination or impairment of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral.
(vii) With respect to each IP Agreement: (A) to the knowledge of the Company, such IP
Agreement is valid and binding and in full force and effect; (B) such IP Agreement will not
cease to be valid and binding and in full force and effect on terms identical to those
currently in effect as a result of the rights and interest granted herein, nor will the
grant of such rights and interest constitute a breach or default under such IP Agreement or
otherwise give any party thereto a right to terminate such IP Agreement; (C) such Grantor
has not received any notice of termination or cancellation under such IP Agreement within
the six months immediately preceding the date of this Security Agreement; (D) within the six
months immediately preceding the date of this Security Agreement, such Grantor has not

party to such IP Agreement is in breach or default thereof in any material respect, and no
event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a
breach or default or permit termination or modification under such IP Agreement; in the case
of each of clauses (A) through (E) above, except as would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.
(viii) To the Companys knowledge, none of the material Trade Secrets of such Grantor
has been used, divulged, disclosed or appropriated to the detriment of such Grantor for the
benefit of any other Person other than such Grantor within the past two years.
Section 7. Further Assurances.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, at the expense of such Grantor and at the
reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver, or
otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that may
be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order
to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted by such
Grantor hereunder or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Grantor will, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, at the
reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, promptly with respect to the Collateral of such
Grantor: (i) mark conspicuously each document included in Inventory, each chattel paper included
in Receivables each Assigned Agreement and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, each of its
records pertaining to such Collateral with a legend, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent, indicating that such document, Assigned Agreement or Collateral is subject
to the security interest granted hereby; (ii) if any such Collateral shall be evidenced by a
promissory note or other instrument or chattel paper, deliver and pledge to the Collateral Agent
hereunder such note or instrument or chattel paper
14
duly indorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; (iii) file such financing or
continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be
reasonably necessary or desirable, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to
perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Grantor
hereunder; (iv) at the request of the Collateral Agent, take all action to ensure that the
Collateral Agents security interest is noted on any certificate of title related to any Collateral
evidenced by a certificate of title; and (v) deliver to the Collateral Agent evidence that all
other actions that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in order to
perfect and protect the security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Grantor under
this Agreement has been taken.
(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or
continuation statements, and amendments thereto, including, without limitation, one or more
financing statements indicating that such financing statements cover all assets or all personal
property (or words of similar effect) of such Grantor in the United States other than assets now or
hereafter constituting Principal Properties or the equity or indebtedness of any Principal Property
Subsidiaries, or any real property or fixtures, regardless of whether any particular asset
described in such financing statements falls within the scope of the UCC. A photocopy or other
reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
Each Grantor ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to have filed such financing
statements, continuation statements or amendments filed prior to the date hereof.
(c) Each Grantor will furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and
schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral of such Grantor and such other reports
in connection with such Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in
reasonable detail.
Section 8. As to Equipment and Inventory.
(a) Each Grantor will keep its Equipment having a value in excess of $10,000,000 and Inventory
having a value in excess of $10,000,000 (other than Inventory sold in the ordinary course of
business) at the places therefor specified in Schedule VIII and Schedule IX, respectively, or, upon
30 days prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, at such other places designated by such
Grantor in such notice.
(b) Each Grantor will pay promptly before such amounts become delinquent all property and
other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims
(including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, its Equipment
and Inventory, except to the extent such taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies are
being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and as to which appropriate reserves are
being maintained, unless and until any Lien resulting therefrom attaches to its property and
becomes enforceable against its other creditors. In producing its Inventory, each Grantor will
comply with all requirements of applicable law, except where the failure to so comply will not have
a Material Adverse Effect.
15
Section 9. Insurance.
(a) Each Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain or cause to be maintained, insurance with
respect to its Equipment and Inventory in such amounts, against such risks, in such form and with
such insurers, as shall be customary for similar businesses of the size and scope of the Company on
a consolidated basis, provided, however, that the Grantor may self insure to the extent consistent
with prudent business practice. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each policy
of each Grantor for liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid on behalf of the
First Lien Agent (at any time prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations), the Collateral
Agent and such Grantor as their interests may appear, and each policy for property damage insurance
shall provide for all losses, except for losses of less than $25,000,000 per occurrence, to be paid
directly to the Collateral Agent. So long as no Actionable Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, all property damage insurance payments received by the Collateral Agent in connection
with any loss, damage or destruction of Inventory will be released by the Collateral Agent to the
applicable Grantor. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each such policy shall in
addition (i) name such Grantor, the First Lien Agent (at any time prior to the Discharge of First
Lien Obligations) and the Collateral Agent as insured parties thereunder (without any
representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Agent) as their interests may
appear, (ii) provide that there shall be no recourse against the Collateral Agent for payment of
premiums or other amounts with respect thereto and (iii) provide that at least 10 days prior
written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be given to the Collateral Agent by the insurer.
Each Grantor will, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent
certificates of insurance evidencing such insurance and, as often as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker or the insurer with respect to such
insurance. Further, each Grantor will, at the request of the Collateral Agent, subject to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such
insurance policies to comply with the requirements of Section 1(i) and cause the insurers to
acknowledge notice of such assignment.
(b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by any Grantor pursuant to this
Section 9 may be paid directly to the Person who shall have incurred damages covered by such
insurance. In case of any loss involving damage to Equipment or Inventory when Section 9(c) below
is not applicable, the applicable Grantor, to the extent determined to be in the business interest
of such Grantor, will make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or replacements of such
Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance properly received by or released to such
Grantor shall be used by such Grantor, except as otherwise required hereunder or by the Indenture,
to pay or as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements or, if such Grantor
determines not to repair or replace such Equipment or Inventory, treat the loss or damage as an
Event of Loss under the Indenture.
(c) So long as no Actionable Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all insurance
payments received by the Collateral Agent in connection with any loss, damage or destruction of any
Inventory or Equipment will be released by the Collateral Agent to the applicable Grantor. Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Actionable Default, all insurance payments in
respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to the Collateral Agent subject to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall, in the Collateral Agents
16
sole discretion, (i) be released to the applicable Grantor for the repair, replacement or
restoration thereof, or (ii) be held as additional Collateral hereunder or applied as specified in
Section 19(b).
Section 10. Post-Closing Changes; Collections on Assigned Agreements and Receivables.
(a) No Grantor will change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or
organizational identification number from those set forth in Schedule V of this Agreement without
first giving at least 15 Business Days prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and taking all
action reasonably required by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the
security interest granted by this Agreement. Each Grantor will hold and preserve its records
relating to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Assigned Agreements and Related
Contracts, and will permit representatives of the Collateral Agent at any time during normal
business hours, on reasonable notice, to inspect and make abstracts from such records and other
documents; provided that, at any time prior to the occurrence of a continuing Actionable Default,
the right of the Collateral Agent and any of its representatives to visit the property of the
Company and any of its Subsidiaries shall be subject to reasonable rules and restrictions of the
Company for such access, and such visit shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing conduct
of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries at such properties. If any Grantor does not
have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the
Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10(b), each Grantor will continue to collect,
at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due such Grantor under the Assigned Agreements and
Receivables. In connection with such collections, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, such Grantor may take (and, at the Collateral Agents direction, will take) such action
as such Grantor or the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of
the Assigned Agreements and Receivables; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have
the right at any time, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Actionable Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of its
intention to do so, to notify the Obligors under any Assigned Agreements and Receivables of the
assignment of such Assigned Agreements to the Collateral Agent and to direct such Obligors to make
payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral
Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any
such Assigned Agreements and Receivables, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment
thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done, and to
otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Assigned Agreements and Receivables, including,
without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of
the notice from the Collateral Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, and
subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) if any Actionable Default shall have
occurred and be continuing all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments)
received by such Grantor in respect of the Assigned Agreements and Receivables of such Grantor
shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, shall be segregated
from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the
same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) and applied as provided in Section 19(b)
of this Agreement, and (ii) such Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
payment of any Receivable or amount due on any Assigned Agreement, release wholly or partly any
Obligor
17
thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon other than credits or discounts given in the
ordinary course of business.
Section 11. As to Intellectual Property Collateral.
(a) With respect to each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral material to the business
of the Company and its Subsidiaries, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all commercially
reasonable steps as determined in Grantors reasonable discretion, including, without limitation,
in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental
authority, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral
and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the
registration and maintenance (in accordance with the exercise of such Grantors reasonable business
discretion) of each patent, trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter
included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation,
the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the
filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15
of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue
and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in
interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation
proceedings; in each case except where the failure to so file, register or maintain is not
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Grantor shall discontinue use of or
otherwise abandon any such material Intellectual Property Collateral, or abandon any right to file
an application for patent, trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor shall have determined that
such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer
necessary or desirable in the conduct of such Grantors business and that the loss thereof would
not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Each Grantor agrees to provide, annually to the Collateral Agent an updated Schedule of
its Patents, Trademarks and registered Copyrights.
(c) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of the Intellectual Property
Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, such Grantor shall take such
commercially reasonable actions determined in its reasonable discretion, at its expense, to protect
or enforce such Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, suing for
infringement or misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or
misappropriation.
(d) Each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps which it deems appropriate under the
circumstances to preserve and protect each item of its material Trademarks included in the
Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining substantially the
quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the
Trademarks, consistent with the general quality of the products and services as of the date hereof,
and taking all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the
Trademarks use such consistent standards of quality.
18
(e) With respect to its Intellectual Property Collateral, upon the reasonable request of the
Collateral Agent made upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Actionable Default, each
Grantor agrees to execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit A hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
(an Intellectual Property Security Agreement), for recording the security interest granted
hereunder to the Collateral Agent in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office, and any other governmental authorities necessary to
perfect the security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Grantors shall, on the date hereof,
execute or otherwise authenticate and deliver an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with
respect to each of the Copyrights listed on Schedule IV(D) hereto under the subheading Copyrights
to be Recorded Against.
(f) Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Actionable Default or, with
respect to any Copyright, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, each entity which
executes a Security Agreement Supplement as Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral
Agent with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an agreement substantially in the form
of Exhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (an IP
Security Agreement Supplement) covering such Intellectual Property, which IP Security Agreement
Supplement shall be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office
and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such
Intellectual Property.
Section 12. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.
(a) So long as no Default under Section 6.01(1), (2), (7) or (8) of the Indenture (or any
comparable provision under any other Second Lien Document) shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual
rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any
purpose.
(ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends,
interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor
if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of
the Second Lien Documents; provided, however, that any and all dividends, interest and other
distributions paid or payable in the form of instruments or certificates in respect of, or
in exchange for, any Security Collateral, shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, be promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as Security Collateral and
shall, if received by such Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Second Lien
Secured Parties, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor and be
promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so
received (with any necessary indorsement).
(iii) The Collateral Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such
Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the
19
voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 12(a)(i) above
and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and
retain pursuant to Section 12(a)(ii) above.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default under Section 6.01(1), (2),

(i) All rights of each Grantor (A) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting
and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to
Section 12(a)(i) shall, upon notice to such Grantor by the Collateral Agent, cease and (B)
to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 12(a)(ii) shall automatically cease,
and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Second Lien Secured Parties, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or
refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as
Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.
(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor
contrary to the provisions of Section 12(b)(i) above shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of such
Grantor and shall be promptly paid over to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in
the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
Section 13. As to the Assigned Agreements.
(a) Each Grantor will at its expense:
(i) perform and observe all terms and provisions of the Assigned Agreements to be
performed or observed by it to the extent consistent with its past practice or reasonable
business judgment, maintain the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party in full force and
effect, and enforce the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party in accordance with the

(d) All moneys received or collected pursuant to Section 13(c) above shall be (i) released to
the applicable Grantor on the terms set forth in Section 5 so long as no Actionable Default shall
have occurred and be continuing or (ii) if any Actionable Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, applied as provided in Section 19(b).
Section 14. As to Letter-of-Credit Rights and Commercial Tort Claims.
(a) Except as otherwise permitted by the this Agreement, each Grantor, by granting a security
interest in its Receivables consisting of letter-of-credit rights to the Collateral Agent, hereby
assigns, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the Collateral Agent such rights
(including its contingent rights) to the proceeds of all Related Contracts consisting of letters of
credit of which it is or hereafter becomes a beneficiary or assignee. Upon request of the
Collateral Agent, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor will promptly
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer of each letter-of-credit with a stated
amount in excess of $10,000,000 and each nominated person (as defined in Section 5-102 of the UCC)
(if any) with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the proceeds thereof pursuant to a
consent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and deliver written

been filed with any court in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate, it shall, promptly after such
claim has been filed with such court, deliver a supplement to Schedule XI hereto, identifying such
new commercial tort claim; provided, however, that, with respect to any commercial tort claim in
respect of Intellectual Property Collateral, the obligation set forth in this Section 14(c) shall
only be applicable with respect to any such commercial tort claim to the extent relating to
Intellectual Property Collateral with respect to which the applicable Grantors have executed or
otherwise authenticated (or have an obligation pursuant to Section 11(e) to execute or otherwise
authenticate) an Intellectual Property Security Agreement.
21
Section 15. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares; Additional Security.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant
any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other
dispositions of Collateral, and options relating to the Collateral, as are permitted under the
terms of the Second Lien Documents, or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect
to any of the Collateral of such Grantor except for the pledge, assignment and security interest
created under this Agreement and Liens permitted under the Second Lien Documents.

Equity Interests or other securities as required by Section 15(c) below from time to time acquired
by such Grantor in any manner.

than Excluded Property) of any Grantor, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Actionable Default, (ii) the acquisition by any Grantor of any property (other than Excluded
Property), including Equity Interests of any Material Subsidiary (except to the extent constituting
Excluded Property), (iii) any property of any Grantor ceasing to be Excluded Property and (iv) the
formation or acquisition of any new Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor (or upon any
existing Restricted Subsidiary becoming a Guarantor) (and in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and
(iv), with respect to the property of the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable), to the extent
such property is not already subject to a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties having the perfection and priority that such
security interest would have been required to have if the applicable assets had been required to be
Collateral on the date hereof, but in each case subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, then in each case at the Companys expense:
(A) within 45 days after (1) any request described in clause (c)(i) above, any
acquisition of property (other than any Excluded Property) described in clause (c)(ii) above
or any property ceasing to be Excluded Property as described in clause (c)(iii) above, duly
execute and deliver, and cause each Guarantor (and, to the extent the Equity Interests of a
Foreign Subsidiary are required to be pledged under foreign law and solely with respect to

case except to the extent constituting Excluded Property) as specified by, and in form and
substance satisfactory to, the Collateral Agent, securing the payment or performance of the

opinion of the Collateral Agent to vest in the Collateral Agent (or in any representative of
the Collateral Agent designated by it) valid and subsisting Liens on the properties
purported to be subject to the pledges, assignments, Security Agreement Supplements, IP
Security Agreement Supplements and security agreements delivered pursuant to this Section
15(c), enforceable against (i) the applicable Grantor and (ii) all third parties in
accordance with their terms (other than in respect of (x) any Excluded Property and (y) in

(C) within 60 days after the occurrence of any of the events set forth in clause
(c)(i), (c)(ii), (c)(iii) or (c)(iv) above, deliver to the Collateral Agent, upon the
request of the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, a signed copy of a favorable
opinion, addressed to the Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties, of
counsel for the Company or the applicable Guarantor reasonably acceptable to the Collateral
Agent as to (1) such pledges, assignments, Security Agreement Supplements, IP Security
Agreement Supplements and security agreements described in clauses (A) and (B) above being
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and each Guarantor party thereto
enforceable in accordance with their terms and as to the matters contained in clause (B)
above, subject to customary exceptions, (2) such recordings, filings, notices, endorsements
and other actions being sufficient to create valid perfected Liens on such assets, and (3)
such other matters as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, consistent with the form
of opinion delivered as of the date of this Agreement, and
23
(D) at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver, and cause each
Guarantor and each newly acquired or newly formed direct Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted
Subsidiary other than an Excluded Subsidiary to execute and deliver, any and all further
instruments and documents and take, and cause such Subsidiary to take, all such other action
as the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in obtaining the full
benefits of, or in perfecting and preserving the Liens of, such pledges, assignments,
Security Agreement Supplements, IP Security Agreement Supplements and security agreements.
(b) For purposes of this Section 15, the term Guarantor shall have the meaning set forth in
the Indenture; provided, that if at any time no Second Lien Note Obligations are outstanding (other
than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand for payment, whether oral
or written, has been made), for purposes of this Section 15 the term Guarantor shall mean each
Subsidiary of the Company that is obligated in respect of any New Second Lien Obligations.
Section 16. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney in Fact.
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent such Grantors attorney-in-fact,
with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or
otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Actionable
Default, in the Collateral Agents discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument
that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, including, without limitation:
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to
Section 9,
(b) to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance
and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral,
(c) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel
paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above, and
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral
Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to
enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of any Assigned Agreement or the rights of the
Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral.
Section 17. Collateral Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, the Collateral Agent may, but without any obligation to do so, upon notice to the
Company of at least five Business Days in advance and if the Company fails to cure within such
period, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral
Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 20.
24
Section 18. The Collateral Agents Duties.
(a) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Second
Lien Secured Parties interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as
to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions,
exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any
Second Lien Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking
of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation
statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or
otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The
Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral
in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it
accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the
value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency
or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.
(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may from
time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more of its
affiliates (or, with the consent of the Company, any other Persons) subagents (each a Subagent)
for the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event
that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the
assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by
each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to
such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Second Lien
Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall
automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges,
interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii)
the term Collateral Agent, when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges,
interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such
Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with
respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by
the Collateral Agent.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of
any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in
any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission
to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity
or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity
of the title of the Company to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of
taxes, charges, assessments or otherwise as to the maintenance of Collateral.
25
Section 19. Remedies.
If any Actionable Default shall have occurred and be continuing and such Actionable Default
has resulted in the acceleration of any Series of the Secured Obligations, which acceleration has
not been rescinded or otherwise terminated then, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement:
(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other
rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies
of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will
at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the
Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a
place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both
parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in
one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agents offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral
Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy, consistent with Section 10(a) of this
Agreement, on a non-exclusive basis any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the
Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to
effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in
respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the
Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral,
including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise
require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements,
the Receivables and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all
funds with respect to the Account Collateral, and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with
respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables and the other Collateral, including, without
limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days notice to such Grantor of the time and
place of any public sale, or of the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale
of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any
public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds received by or
on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization
upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with
the Collateral Trust Agreement.
(c) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Assigned Agreement or
otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the
Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
26
(d) The Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at
any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured
Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit
account; provided, however, that no such right shall exist against any deposit designated as being
for the benefit of any governmental authority. The Collateral Agent agrees promptly to notify the
applicable Grantor after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
(e) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property
Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other
disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Collateral Agent or its
designee, to the extent practicable, such Grantors know-how and expertise, and documents and
things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition,
and such Grantors customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual
Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and
services of such Grantor.
(f) In each case under this Agreement in which the Collateral Agent takes any action with
respect to the Collateral, including proceeds, the Collateral Agent shall provide to the Company
such records and information regarding the possession, control, sale and any receipt of amounts
with respect to such Collateral as may be reasonably requested by the Company as a basis for the
preparation of the companys financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
Section 20. Collateral Trust Agreement; Requests by Collateral Agent.
(a) The provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Indenture relating to the
Collateral Agent including, without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal
of the Collateral Agent, reimbursement of expenses, exculpatory rights, rights to indemnification
and the powers and duties and immunities of the Collateral Agent are incorporated herein by this
reference and shall survive any termination of the Collateral Trust Agreement or the Indenture, as
applicable.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, to the extent the provisions
hereunder provide for the Collateral Agent to make any request to any Grantor to take or refrain
from taking any action, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to make any such request, unless
instructed to do so by the Majority Holders.
Section 21. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc.
(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure
by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Collateral Agent (acting pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Collateral Trust
Agreement) and, with respect to any amendment, the Company on behalf of the Grantors (to the extent
required by the Collateral Trust Agreement), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part
of the Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising any right hereunder, shall
27
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security
agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (each a Security Agreement
Supplement), such Person shall be referred to as an Additional Grantor and shall be and become a
Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Second Lien Documents to
Grantor shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each reference in this
Agreement and the other Second Lien Documents to the Collateral shall also mean and be a
reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference in this Agreement
to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached to such Security
Agreement Supplement.
Section 22. Confidentiality; Notices; References.
(a) The Collateral Agent may not disclose to any Person any confidential, proprietary or
non-public information of any Grantor furnished to the Collateral Agent by any Grantor, including,
without limitation, any information included in the schedules or exhibits to this Agreement (such
information being referred to collectively herein as the Company Information), except that the
Collateral Agent may disclose Company Information (i) to its and its affiliates managers,
administrators, partners, employees, trustees, officers, directors, agents, advisors and other
representatives solely for purposes of this Agreement, any other Second Lien Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Company Information and
instructed to keep such Company Information confidential on terms substantially no less restrictive
than those provided herein), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to
have jurisdiction over it, provided that, to the extent permitted by law and practicable under the
circumstances, the Collateral Agent shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requested
disclosure so that the Company may seek a protective order prior to the time when the Collateral
Agent is required to make such disclosure, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that, to the extent permitted by
law and practicable under the circumstances, the Collateral Agent shall provide the Company with
prompt notice of such requested disclosure so that the Company may seek a protective order prior to
the time when the Collateral Agent is required to make such disclosure, (iv) as necessary in
connection with any security interest filings or in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights
hereunder, (v) to the extent such Company Information (A) is or becomes generally available to the
public on a non-confidential basis other than as a result of a breach of this Section 23 by the
Collateral Agent or by any Second Lien Secured Party, or (B) is or becomes legally available to the
Collateral Agent on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Grantor, provided that the
source of such information was not known by the Collateral Agent to be bound by a confidentiality
agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligations of confidentiality to a Grantor
or any other party with respect to such information, (vi) with the consent of the Company, and
(vii) to any party hereto.
(b) All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be delivered as provided
in Section 8.3 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in

WHEREAS, in connection with the Indenture, each Grantor and the other Guarantors have executed
and delivered that certain Security Agreement, dated as of March 5, 2010 (as amended, amended and
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Security Agreement), made in
favor of the Collateral Agent.
WHEREAS, the Company, the Grantors, the other Guarantors and the Collateral Agent are parties
to that certain Collateral Trust Agreement, dated as of March 5, 2010 (as amended, amended and

(b) the trademark and service mark registrations and applications set forth in Schedule

of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such
intent-to-use trademark applications under applicable federal law), together with the
goodwill symbolized thereby (the Trademarks);
(c) all copyrights, whether registered or unregistered, now owned or hereafter acquired
by such Grantor, including, without limitation, the copyright registrations and applications
and exclusive copyright licenses set forth in Schedule C hereto (the Copyrights);
(d) all reissues, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, extensions, renewals
and reexaminations of any of the foregoing, all rights in the foregoing provided by

and all other rights of any kind whatsoever of such Grantor accruing thereunder or
pertaining thereto;
(e) any and all claims for damages and injunctive relief for past, present and future

or hereafter due and payable with respect to, and supporting obligations relating to, any
and all of the Collateral of or arising from any of the foregoing.
SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. The grant of a security interest in, the
Collateral by each Grantor under this IP Security Agreement secures the payment of all obligations
of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Second Lien Documents, whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations,

allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the
Company, any Grantor or any other Guarantor.
SECTION 3. Recordation. Each Grantor authorizes and requests that the United States
Copyright Office and any other applicable government officer record this IP Security Agreement.
SECTION 4. Execution in Counterparts. This IP Security Agreement may be executed in

(as defined therein), The Bank of New York Mellon, as Second Lien Representative (as defined
therein), the Company, the direct and indirect Subsidiaries of the Company party thereto and such
other parties as may be added thereto from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and as

and in equity and to act as set forth in this Agreement or as requested in any lawful directions
given to it from time to time in respect of any matter by a written notice of the Majority Holders.

Second Lien Obligations, and will distribute all proceeds received by it in realization thereon or
from enforcement thereof solely and exclusively pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.4.
6.2 Exculpatory Provisions.
(a) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness
of any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this
23
Agreement, in the Intercreditor Agreement or in any Second Lien Collateral Document, all of
which are made solely by the Trustors. The Collateral Agent makes no representations as to the
value or condition of the Trust Estate or any part thereof, or as to the title of the Trustors
thereto or as to the security afforded by any Second Lien Collateral Document or this Agreement or
the Intercreditor Agreement, or as to the validity, execution (except its own execution),
enforceability, legality or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Second
Lien Collateral Document or the Second Lien Obligations secured hereby and thereby, and the
Collateral Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters. The
Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for insuring the Trust Estate or for the payment of
taxes, charges, assessments or liens upon the Trust Estate or otherwise as to the maintenance of
the Trust Estate, except that in the event the Collateral Agent enters into possession of a part or
all of the Trust Estate, the Collateral Agent shall preserve the part in its possession.
(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance
by the Trustors of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, in the
Intercreditor Agreement, in any Second Lien Collateral Document or in any other Second Lien
Document. Whenever it is necessary, or in the opinion of the Collateral Agent advisable, for the
Collateral Agent to ascertain the amount of Second Lien Obligations then held by a Second Lien
Secured Party, the Collateral Agent may rely on a certificate of such Second Lien Secured Party or
its representative (including the Indenture Trustee or any applicable New Second Lien
Representative) as to such amount, and if any such Second Lien Secured Party or representative
shall not give such information to the Collateral Agent, such Second Lien Secured Party shall not
be entitled to receive distributions hereunder (in which case such distributions shall be held in
trust for such Second Lien Secured Party) until it has given such information to the Collateral
Agent.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be personally liable for any action taken or omitted to be

of any instrument, document or financing statement or for the maintenance of any security interest
intended to be perfected thereby.

hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact, which may include officers
and employees of the Trustors. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel, at the
expense of the Trustors, concerning all matters pertaining to such trusts, powers and duties. The
Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
24
6.4 Reliance by Collateral Agent.
(a) Whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Agreement the Collateral Agent shall
deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established in connection with the
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder by the Collateral Agent, such matter (unless
other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be
conclusively provided or established by an Officers Certificate delivered to the Collateral Agent,
and such certificate shall be full warranty to the Collateral Agent for any action taken, suffered
or omitted in reliance thereon, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 6.5.
(b) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel of its selection, and any opinion of such
counsel who is not an employee of the Collateral Agent shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in accordance therewith. The
Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the
administration of the Trust Estate from any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) The Collateral Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any
resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
bond or other paper or document that it has no reason to believe to be other than genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of cables, telecopies
and telexes, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. In the absence of its gross
negligence or willful misconduct, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of
the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Collateral Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or
any Second Lien Collateral Document. Without limitation to the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may
rely as provided in this Section 6.4 on any Officers Certificate provided by the Company pursuant
to Section 2.3 hereof, and may deem such information correct until such time as it receives any
written modification of any such certificate from Company in respect thereof.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in the Collateral Agent by this Agreement at the request or direction of the Majority
Holders pursuant to this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Second Lien Collateral
Document, unless the Collateral Agent shall have been provided adequate security and indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by
it in compliance with such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be
requested by the Collateral Agent.
6.5 Limitations on Duties of Collateral Agent.
(a) The Collateral Agent shall be obliged to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or in any Second Lien
Collateral Document, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement or any Second Lien Collateral Document against the Collateral Agent and the
Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted by it in
accordance with the direction of the Majority Holders pursuant to Section 3.8.
25
(b) Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any
obligation to take any action that is discretionary with the Collateral Agent under the provisions
hereof or under the Intercreditor Agreement or any Second Lien Collateral Document except upon the
written request of the Majority Holders pursuant to Section 3.8. The Collateral Agent shall make
available for inspection and copying by the Indenture Trustee and each New Second Lien
Representative, each certificate or other paper furnished to the Collateral Agent by the Company
under or in respect of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Second Lien Collateral
Document or any of the Trust Estate.
6.6 Moneys to be Held in Trust.
All moneys received by the Collateral Agent under or pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Second Lien Collateral Document shall be held in
trust for the purposes for which they were paid or are held.
6.7 Resignation and Removal of the Collateral Agent.
(a) The Collateral Agent may at any time, by giving 30 days prior written notice to the
Company, the Indenture Trustee and each New Second Lien Representative (if any), resign and be
discharged of the responsibilities hereby created, such resignation to become effective upon the
earlier of: (i) 30 days from the date of such notice and (ii) the appointment of a successor
trustee or trustees by the Company, the acceptance of such appointment by such successor trustee or
trustees, and the approval of such successor trustee or trustees by the Majority Holders; provided
that no resignation shall become effective unless and until a successor trustee has been appointed
as provided herein. The Collateral Agent may be removed at any time and a successor trustee or
trustees appointed by the affirmative vote of the Majority Holders; provided that the Collateral
Agent shall be paid its fees and expenses to the date of removal. If no successor trustee or
trustees shall be appointed and approved within 30 days from the date of the giving of the
aforesaid notice of resignation, the Collateral Agent shall, or the Indenture Trustee, any New
Second Lien Representative or any other Second Lien Secured Party may, apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee or trustees (which may be an individual or
individuals) to act until such time, if any, as a successor trustee or trustees shall have been
appointed as above provided. Any successor trustee or trustees so appointed by such court shall
immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor trustee or trustees approved by
the Majority Holders as above provided.
(b) If at any time the Collateral Agent shall resign or be removed or otherwise become
incapable of acting, or if at any time, a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Collateral Agent
for any other cause, a successor trustee or trustees may be appointed by the Majority Holders, and
the powers, duties, authority and title of the predecessor trustee or trustees terminated and
canceled without procuring the resignation of such predecessor trustee or trustees, and without any
other formality (except as may be required by applicable law) than appointment and designation of a
successor trustee or trustees in writing, duly acknowledged, delivered to the predecessor trustee
or trustees and Company, and filed for record in each public office, if any, in which this
Agreement is required to be filed.
26
(c) The appointment and designation referred to in Section 6.7(b) shall, after any required
filing, be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all the facts therein
recited, and this Agreement shall vest in such successor trustee or trustees, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, all of the estate and title of its predecessor, and upon such filing for
record the successor trustee or trustees shall become fully vested with all the estates,
properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of its predecessor; but such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Majority Holders, the Company or the
successor trustee or trustees, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor or
successors all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of such
predecessor or predecessors hereunder and shall deliver all Securities and moneys held by it to
such successor trustee or trustees. Should any deed, conveyance or other instrument in writing
from any Trustor be required by any successor trustee or trustees for more fully and certainly
vesting in such successor trustee or trustees the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts,
duties, authority and title vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor trustee or trustees,
any and all such deeds, conveyances and other instruments in writing shall, on request of such
successor trustee or trustees, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by such Trustor.
(d) Any required filing for record of the instrument appointing a successor trustee or
trustees as hereinabove provided shall be at the sole expense of the Trustors. The resignation of
any trustee or trustees and the instrument or instruments removing any trustee or trustees,
together with all other instruments, deeds and conveyances provided for in this Section 6 shall, if
permitted by law, be forthwith recorded, registered and filed by and at the expense of the
Trustors, wherever this Agreement is recorded, registered and filed.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no New Second Lien
Representative (in its capacity as such) may serve as Collateral Agent.
6.8 Status of Successors to the Collateral Agent.
Except as permitted by Section 6.7, every successor to the Collateral Agent appointed pursuant
to Section 6.7 shall be a bank or trust in good standing and having power so to act, incorporated
under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and having
its principal corporate trust office within the 48 contiguous States, and shall also have (together
with its corporate affiliates) capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than
$100,000,000, if there be such an institution with such capital, surplus and undivided profits
willing, qualified and able to accept the trust upon reasonable or customary terms; provided,
however, that the First Lien Collateral Agent (including any replacement agent) shall in no event
be a successor to the Collateral Agent.
6.9 Merger of the Collateral Agent.
Any corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged, or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral
Agent shall be a party, or any corporation to which the Collateral Agent shall transfer all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business (including the administration of this trust)
shall be Collateral Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the parties hereto.
27
6.10 Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee.
(a) If at any time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of
any jurisdiction in which any of the Second Lien Collateral shall be located, or the Collateral
Agent shall be advised by counsel, satisfactory to it, that it is so necessary or prudent in the
interest of the Second Lien Secured Parties, or the Majority Holders shall in writing so request
the Collateral Agent and the Trustors, or the Collateral Agent shall deem it desirable for its own
protection in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent and the Trustors shall
execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank
or trust company, or one or more persons approved by the Collateral Agent and the Trustors, either
to act as co-trustee or co-trustees of all or any of the Second Lien Collateral, jointly with the
Collateral Agent originally named herein or any successor or successors, or to act as separate
trustee or trustees of any such property. In the event the Trustors shall not have joined in the
execution of such instruments and agreements within 30 days after the receipt of a written request
from the Collateral Agent so to do, or in case an Actionable Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10
without the concurrence of the Trustors, and the Trustors hereby appoint the Collateral Agent as
its agent and attorney to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10 in either
of such contingencies.
(b) Every separate trustee and every co-trustee, other than any trustee that may be appointed
as successor to the Collateral Agent, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act
and be such, subject to the following provisions and conditions, namely:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Collateral
Agent in respect of the custody, control and management of moneys, papers or Securities
shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, or its successors hereunder;
(ii) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the
Collateral Agent hereunder shall be conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the
Collateral Agent and such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or
co-trustees, jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such separate
trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees, except to the extent that under
any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the
Collateral Agent shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which
event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such
separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees;
(iii) no power given hereby to, or that it is provided hereby may be
exercised by, any such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees,
shall be exercised hereunder by such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or
separate trustees, except jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the Collateral
Agent, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding;
(iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
28
(v) the Trustors and the Collateral Agent, at any time by an instrument in
writing, executed by them, may accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee
or co-trustee, and in that case, by an instrument in writing executed by the Trustors and
the Collateral Agent jointly, may appoint a successor to such separate trustee or
co-trustee, as the case may be, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
In the event that the Trustors shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument
within ten days after the receipt of a written request from the Collateral Agent so to do,
or in case an Actionable Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall have the power to accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or
co-trustee and to appoint a successor without the concurrence of the Trustors, the Trustors
hereby appointing the Collateral Agent its agent and attorney to act for it in such
connection in either of such contingencies. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall
have appointed a separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees as above
provided, it may at any time, by an instrument in writing, accept the resignation of or
remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, the successor to any such separate trustee
or co-trustee to be appointed by the Trustors and the Collateral Agent, or by the Collateral
Agent alone, as provided in this Section 6.10.

assign and transfer, or cause to be assigned and transferred, and shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustors, in respect of the Second Lien Collateral so released, all property,

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no Trustor shall have any right to
consent to or approve any supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification of any
provision of this Agreement that is solely and exclusively an intercreditor matter that affects the
Second Lien Secured Parties and does not adversely affect the rights or obligations of any Trustor
(including, without limitation, Sections 2.4 and 4.4), but the Collateral Agent shall provide a
copy of any such executed amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or waiver to the
Trustors and (y) without the consent of any Second Lien Secured Party, any Second Lien Collateral
Document may be supplemented, amended, restated, waived or otherwise modified (A) to the extent
(and only to the extent) required (i) by the Intercreditor Agreement or (ii) to allow for any
release of Second Lien Collateral that is expressly permitted by Section 7.1 and (B) in the
following circumstances:
32
(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this Agreement, the
Second Lien Security Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument
pursuant to which a Lien is granted securing any Second Lien Obligations or under
which rights or remedies with respect to such Liens are governed;
(2) to comply with (i) Article 5 of the Indenture or (ii) the comparable
provisions of any New Second Lien Documents; provided, in the case of clause (ii),
that the applicable supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification
does not adversely affect the Second Lien Note Obligations;
(3) to comply with any requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission
in connection with the qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 of (i)
the Indenture or (ii) any New Second Lien Documents; provided, in the case of clause
(ii), that the applicable supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other
modification does not adversely affect the Second Lien Note Obligations;
(4) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of an appointment by a successor
Indenture Trustee or Collateral Agent;
(5) to conform the text of this Agreement, the Second Lien Security Agreement
or any other agreement, document or instrument pursuant to which a Lien is granted
securing any Second Lien Obligations or under which rights or remedies with respect
to such Liens are governed to any provision of the Description of Notes section of
the offering memorandum dated February 24, 2010 relating to the offering by the
Company of the Notes; or
(6) to make any other change that does not materially and adversely affect the
rights of any Second Lien Secured Party.
Any such supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification shall be binding
upon the Trustors, the Second Lien Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent and their respective
successors. The Collateral Agent shall not enter into any such supplement, amendment, restatement,
waiver or other modification unless it shall have received (x) written authorization from the
Indenture Trustee and each New Second Lien Representative to enter into same, which authorization
shall include a statement to the effect that the requisite holders of the applicable Series of
Second Lien Obligations (determined under the Second Lien Documents governing such Series) have
authorized the entry into same and (y) an Officers Certificate to the effect that such supplement,
amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification will not result in a breach of any provision
or covenant contained in the Indenture, any other Second Lien Document, the Intercreditor Agreement
or this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Second Lien Secured Party, the
Collateral Agent and the Trustors, at any time and from time to time, may enter into additional
pledge or Second Lien Collateral Documents or one or more agreements
33
supplemental hereto or to any Second Lien Collateral Document, in form satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent:
(i) to add to the covenants of the Trustors, for the benefit of the Second
Lien Secured Parties, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Trustors;
(ii) to pledge or grant a security interest in any property or assets that
are required to be pledged, or in which a security interest is required to be granted, to
the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Second Lien Collateral Document or any other applicable
Second Lien Document; and
(iii) to cure any ambiguity or omission, to correct or to supplement any
provision herein or in any Second Lien Collateral Document that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision herein or therein, or to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or under any Second Lien Collateral
Document that shall not be inconsistent with any provision hereof or of any Second Lien
Collateral Document.
8.2 Voting.
(a) In connection with any matter under this Agreement requiring a vote of holders of Second
Lien Obligations at any time, each Series of Second Lien Obligations will cast its votes in
accordance with the Second Lien Note Documents or the New Second Lien Documents, as applicable,
governing such Series of Second Lien Obligations and as contemplated by the definition of Majority

Second Lien Note Documents or New Second Lien Documents, as applicable, the Indenture Trustee and
the New Second Lien Representative with respect to each Series of New Second Lien Obligations will

Series of Second Lien Obligations shall be deemed to hold the principal amount of indebtedness
constituting Second Lien Obligations then outstanding under such Series of Second Lien Obligations,

Second Lien Obligations deemed held by such Representative pursuant to the preceding clause (i),
provide any such instruction to, or shall instruct the Collateral Agent to take such action, in
accordance with voting provisions set forth in the Second Lien Documents with respect to the
applicable Series of Second Lien Obligations and subject to the proviso at the end of the
definition of Majority Holders and to the last sentence of such definition and (iii) based on the
foregoing procedures, the Collateral Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error), whether the Second Lien Secured Parties that have given such instruction or
taken such action (or consented to the taking of such action) constitute the Majority Holders as
defined in the definition thereof.
34
(c) Any direction in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent by or with the written consent
of the Majority Holders (a) shall set forth the aggregate amount of Second Lien Obligations owed by
the Trustors to the Second Lien Secured Parties represented by the Indenture Trustee and by each
New Second Lien Representative under the Second Lien Note Documents or the applicable New Second
Lien Documents, as the case may be, calculated as of the date of determination and in accordance

All judicial proceedings brought against any party hereto arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any of the other Second Lien Collateral Documents may be
brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State, County and City of
New York. By executing and delivering this Agreement, each Trustor, for itself and in connection
with its properties, irrevocably:
(a) accepts generally and unconditionally the nonexclusive jurisdiction and venue of such
courts;
(b) waives any defense of forum non conveniens;
(c) agrees that service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court may be made by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to such party at its address provided in
accordance with Section 8.3;
(d) agrees that service as provided in clause (c) above is sufficient to confer personal
jurisdiction over such party in any such proceeding in any such court and otherwise constitutes
effective and binding service in every respect; and
(e) agrees each party hereto retains the right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law or to bring proceedings against any party in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
8.12 Waiver of Jury Trial.
Each party to this Agreement waives its rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action
based upon or arising under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any of the Second Lien
Collateral Documents or any dealings between them relating to the subject matter of this Agreement
or the intents and purposes of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien Collateral Documents.
The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be
filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement or the Second Lien Collateral Documents, including contract claims,
37
tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. Each party
to this Agreement acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business
relationship, that each party hereto has already relied on this waiver in entering into this
Agreement, and that each party hereto will continue to rely on this waiver in its related future
dealings. Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with
its legal counsel and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following
consultation with legal counsel. This waiver is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified
either orally or in writing (other than by a mutual written waiver specifically referring to this
Section 8.12 and executed by each of the parties hereto), and this waiver will apply to any
subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements or modifications of or to this Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement or any of the Second Lien Collateral Documents or to any other documents or
agreements relating thereto. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written
consent to a trial by the court.
8.13 Force Majeure.
In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in
the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly,
forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts
of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of
God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and
hardware) services; it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts
which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon
as practicable under the circumstances.
8.14 Consequential Damages.
In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit)
irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action.
8.15 Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interest granted to
the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, pursuant to this
Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Second Lien Secured Parties, hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this
Agreement with respect to the Liens upon the Common Collateral or the exercise of any right or
remedy by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Common Collateral, the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.
If at any time the Intercreditor Agreement ceases to be in effect because First Lien
Obligations are no longer outstanding or no longer secured by Liens on all or a portion of the
Collateral and, thereafter, the Company or any other Trustor subsequently incurs indebtedness for
borrowed money that is to be secured by first-priority liens on assets of the Company or any
38
other Trustor of the type constituting Second Lien Collateral (which indebtedness and
first-priority liens are permitted under the Second Lien Documents), the Collateral Agent is hereby
authorized, directed and empowered to enter into a new intercreditor agreement that provides the
representative under such indebtedness substantially the same rights and powers as afforded the
First Lien Representative (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) under the Intercreditor
Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive, and to conclusively rely upon, an
Officers Certificate to the effect that such new intercreditor agreement complies with the
provisions of the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 8.15.
8.16 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
8.17 Incorporation by Reference.
In connection with its execution and acting as agent or trustee (as applicable) hereunder,
each of the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee and any New Second Lien Representative are
entitled to all rights, privileges, protections, immunities, benefits and indemnities provided to
them under the Second Lien Collateral Documents and any other applicable Second Lien Documents.
8.18 Consent to Certain Amendments.
Each Second Lien Secured Party hereby consents to, and authorizes and directs its applicable
Representative and the Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Second Lien Representative
(as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)) to enter into, such amendments, supplements or other
modifications to the Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement and the other Second Lien Collateral
Documents as are contemplated by the last paragraph of Section 4(f) of the Second Lien Security
Agreement, solely for the purpose of enabling the Company to comply with its obligations under such
Section 4(f).
For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing consents, authorizations and directions shall not be
applicable to any amendment, supplement or other modification that would materially and adversely
affect any Second Lien Obligations.

Kodak Announces Expiration and Final Results of All Cash Tender Offer for its 7.25% Senior
Notes due 2013
Company Completes Financing Transactions Announced on February 24, 2010
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Mar. 10 Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: EK) announced today the expiration and
final results of its tender offer to purchase up to $200 million of its outstanding 7.25% Senior
Notes due 2013 (2013 Notes). The tender offer was made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase dated
February 3, 2010, the related Letter of Transmittal and Kodaks press release, dated February 24,
2010, relating to certain amendments to the tender offer (collectively, the Tender Offer), which
set forth a more detailed description of the terms of the Tender Offer.
The Tender Offer expired as of 11:59 p.m., New York City time on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 (the
Expiration Date). Based on information provided by the depositary for the Tender Offer, an
aggregate principal amount of approximately $220 million of 2013 Notes were validly tendered and
not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer, which exceeded the Maximum Tender Amount of $200
million. As a result, the 2013 Notes accepted for purchase were subject to proration pursuant to
the terms of the Tender Offer at a factor of approximately 91% of the 2013 Notes validly tendered
and not withdrawn. Accordingly, Kodak accepted for purchase $200 million aggregate principal
amount of 2013 Notes pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer. 2013 Notes not accepted for
purchase will be promptly returned to the tendering holder or, if tendered through the facilities
of the Depository Trust Company (DTC), credited to the relevant account at DTC in accordance with
DTC procedures. The settlement for the Tender Offer is expected to occur promptly.
Holders of 2013 Notes who validly tendered their 2013 Notes in the Tender Offer as of 5:00
p.m., New York City time on Thursday, February 11, 2010 (the Early Tender Date) will receive
$950.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2013 Notes accepted in the Tender Offer.

Holders of 2013 Notes who validly tender their 2013 Notes after the Early Tender Date and at or
before the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive $910.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2013
Notes accepted in the Tender Offer, which excludes the early tender premium equal to $40.00 per
$1,000 principal amount of 2013 Notes.
Payments for 2013 Notes purchased in the Tender Offer will include accrued and unpaid interest
from and including the last interest payment date to, but excluding, the settlement date. The
conditions to the Tender Offer have been satisfied.
As previously disclosed on February 24, 2010, the Tender Offer for up to $200 million of the
2013 Notes is part of a series of related financing transactions that also included a private
placement of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 and the
repurchase of $300 million of 2017 Senior Secured Notes from affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts
& Co. L.P. (KKR). On March 5, 2010, Kodak completed the private placement of $500 million in Senior
Secured Notes due 2018 and the repurchase of notes from KKR. KKRs equity investment in the company
was not impacted by these financing transactions. Kodak intends to fund the repurchase of the 2013
Notes in the Tender Offer from the net proceeds of the private placement and, to the extent
necessary, cash on hand.
Kodak retained Citi to serve as dealer manager for the Tender Offer. The Bank of New York
Mellon was retained to serve as the depositary, and Georgeson, Inc. was retained to serve as the
information agent.
This announcement does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell
securities. The Tender Offer was made solely by means of the Offer to Purchase and the related
Letter of Transmittal, as amended by Kodaks press release dated February 24, 2010. In those
jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the Tender Offer to be made by a
licensed broker or dealer, the Tender Offer was deemed to be made on behalf of Kodak by the dealer
manager or one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
