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 Company’s 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 Company’s existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness; are effectively senior in right of payment to the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.
      Guarantees
     The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s 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 Guarantor’s 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 Company’s 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.

 


Table of Contents

      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 holder’s 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 Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to:
    incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock;
 
    pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments;
 
    make principal payments on, or purchase or redeem subordinated indebtedness prior to any scheduled principal payment or maturity;
 
    make certain investments;
 
    sell assets;
 
    create liens on assets;
 
    consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets, taken as a whole;
 
    enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and
 
    designate the Company’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

 


Table of Contents

      Events of Default
     The following constitute events of default under the Indenture that could, subject to certain conditions, cause the Notes to become immediately due and payable:
    the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of any Note when due;
 
    the Company defaults in the payment of any interest on any Note when due, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;
 
    the Company fails to make an offer to purchase and accept and pay for Notes tendered when and as required pursuant to the covenants relating to changes in control or asset sales;
 
    the Company defaults under any other provision of the Indenture or the Notes that continues for 60 days after written notice to the Company by the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes;
 
    there occurs with respect to any debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries having an outstanding principal amount of $50 million or more in the aggregate (i) an event of default that results in such debt being due and payable prior to its scheduled maturity or (ii) failure to make a principal payment at scheduled maturity and, in each case, such defaulted payment is not made, waived or extended within the applicable grace period;
 
    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 to exceed $50 million (in excess of amounts which the Company’s 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.
     The foregoing description of the Indenture in this report is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Indenture, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, and incorporated herein by reference.

               (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 Officer’s 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 pledgee’s 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.

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 bear the Restricted Legend or is no longer subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Restricted Legend, is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend.
 
(4)   The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate if such transfer occurs prior to the termination of the Rule 144 holding period for the applicable Certificated Notes.
 
(5)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such exchange is permitted if the requested exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note. If the requested transfer involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note, the Person requesting the transfer must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Rule 144A 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.

     (2) sold pursuant to a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such transfer or exchange.

          (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 notice to the Trustee.

          (b) An owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note (or a Person acting 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-

          (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.

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.

               (xiii) Debt consisting of Guarantees of amounts owing by customers of the Company and its Subsidiaries under equipment and vendor financing programs in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75,000,000 at any time outstanding;
               (xiv) Debt of any Foreign Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75,000,000 at any time outstanding;
               (xv) any Permitted Receivables Financing in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed (A) the greater of (1) $500,000,000 and (2) the Borrowing Base Amount minus (B) the amount of Debt Incurred under clause (i) outstanding at such time;
               (xvi) Debt of the Company or any Guarantor Incurred on or after the Issue Date not otherwise permitted in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50,000,000 at any time outstanding;
               (xvii) Debt consisting of Guarantees of obligations (other than Debt) of suppliers, licensors or franchisees in the ordinary course of business;
               (xviii) Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the net proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to defease or discharge the Notes as set forth under Article 10; and
               (xix) Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary consisting of Guarantees in respect of obligations of joint ventures as to which the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary is a joint venture partner; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Debt incurred pursuant to this clause (xix) shall not exceed $100,000,000 outstanding at any time.
          (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”):

               (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary held by Persons other than the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
               (iii) repay, redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, or make any payment on or with respect to, any Subordinated Debt except (A) (x) a payment of interest or principal at Stated Maturity or (y) the repayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value, or the payment of Subordinated Debt in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case, within one year of such repayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value and (B) any prepayment, repayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Debt Incurred under Section 4.06(b)(ii); or

unless, at the time of, and after giving effect to, the proposed Restricted Payment:

     (3) the aggregate amount expended for all Restricted Payments made on or after the Issue Date would not, subject to Section 4.07(c), exceed the sum of

          (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
          (C) an amount equal to the sum, for all Unrestricted Subsidiaries, of the following:

-57-


 

result of any sale for cash, repayment, redemption, liquidating distribution or other cash realization (to the extent not included in Consolidated Net Income), plus
          (y) the portion (proportionate to the Company’s or Restricted Subsidiary’s, 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 Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 4.07(a), plus
          (D) the cash return, after the Issue Date, on any other Investment made after the Issue Date pursuant to this Section 4.07(a), as a result of any sale for cash, repayment, redemption, liquidating distribution or other cash realization (to the extent not included in Consolidated Net Income), not to exceed the amount of such Investment so made.
The amount expended in any Restricted Payment, if other than in cash, will be deemed to be the Fair Market Value of the relevant non-cash assets, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company or an executive officer of the Company, whose determination will be conclusive and, if made by the Board of Directors of the Company, evidenced by a Board Resolution.
          (b) The foregoing will not prohibit:

               (viii) the repurchase of any Subordinated Debt or Disqualified Stock at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount thereof in the event of (A) a change of control pursuant to a provision not materially more favorable to the holders thereof than Section 4.12 or (B) an Asset Sale pursuant to a provision not materially more favorable to the holders thereof than Section 4.09, provided that, in each case, prior to the repurchase the Company has made an Offer to Purchase and repurchased all Notes that were validly tendered for payment in connection with the Offer to Purchase;
               (ix) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $125,000,000;
               (x) repurchases or other acquisitions of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options or warrants or upon the vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units if such Equity Interests represent the exercise price of such options or warrants or represent withholding taxes due upon such exercise or vesting;
               (xi) the purchase of fractional shares of Capital Stock of the Company arising out of stock dividends, splits or combinations or mergers, consolidations or other acquisitions or the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares upon the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exercisable for Capital Stock of the Company;
               (xii) in connection with any acquisition by the Company or by any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the receipt or acceptance of the return to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries constituting a portion of the purchase price consideration in settlement of indemnification claims or as a result of a purchase price adjustment (including earn-outs and similar obligations);

               (xiv) payments or distributions to stockholders of a Person acquired by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (the shareholders of which are not Affiliates of the Company) pursuant to appraisal rights required under applicable law in connection with any merger, consolidation or other acquisition by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;
provided that, in the case of clauses (vii) and (ix) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a result thereof.
          (c) Proceeds of the issuance of Qualified Equity Interests will be included under clause (3) of Section 4.07(a) only to the extent they are not applied as described in clause (iv), (v) or (vi) of Section 4.07(b). Restricted Payments permitted pursuant to clause (i), (ii) (but only to the extent paid to Persons other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), (vii) and (ix) of Section 4.07(b) will be included in making the calculations under clause (3) of Section 4.07(a), and Restricted Payments permitted pursuant to any other clause of Section 4.07(b) shall be excluded in the making of such calculation.

               (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on any Equity Interests of the Restricted Subsidiary owned by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary;
               (ii) pay any Debt or other obligation owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary;
               (iii) make loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or

-60-


 

               (i) existing on the Issue Date in the Credit Agreement, this Indenture or any other agreements 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, replacement or refinancing are (as determined in good faith by the Company), taken as a whole, no less favorable in any material respect to the Holders than the encumbrances or restrictions being extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced;
               (ii) existing under or by reason of applicable law, regulation, order, approval, license, permit, grant or similar restriction, in each case, issued or imposed by a governmental authority;

                    (B) with respect to any Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time it is designated or is deemed to become a Restricted Subsidiary,

               (iv) of the type described in clause (iv) of Section 4.08(a) arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business (including Debt permitted to be incurred, as set forth under Section 4.06, that imposes such restrictions) (A) that restrict in a customary manner the subletting, assignment, licensing or transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease, license or other agreement or (B) by virtue of any Lien on, or agreement to transfer, option or similar right with respect to any property or assets of, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

     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 Company’s 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 arm’s-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 Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company;
               (ii) the payment of reasonable and customary regular fees to, and the reimbursement of expenses of, directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company;
               (iii) any Restricted Payments of a type permitted under Section 4.07(a);
               (iv) transactions or payments pursuant to any employee, officer or director compensation, benefit plans, collective bargaining agreement or other similar arrangements (including vacation, health, insurance, deferred compensation, retirement, savings, severance, change of control payments and incentive arrangements or other similar plans) entered into in the ordinary course of business;
               (v) transactions entered into as part of a Permitted Receivables Financing;
               (vi) transactions pursuant to any contract or agreement in effect on the date of this Indenture, as amended, modified or replaced from time to time so long as the amended, modified or new agreements, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those in effect on the date of this Indenture;
               (vii) indemnification or similar arrangements (including director and officer liability insurance) for officers, directors, employees or agents of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to charter, bylaw, contractual or statutory provisions;
               (viii) any transactions between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Affiliate of the Company the Equity Interests of which Affiliate are owned solely by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and by persons who are not Affiliates of the Company or Restricted Subsidiaries, on the other hand;

-65-


 

               (ix) loans and advances to directors, employees or officers made in the ordinary course of business in compliance with applicable laws, provided that such loans and advances do not exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;
               (x) transactions with Persons who are Affiliates of the Company solely as a result of the Company’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s Investment in such Person; and
               (xi) any transactions as to which the Company has obtained a favorable written opinion from a nationally recognized investment banking firm as to the fairness of the transaction to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries from a financial point of view.
     Section 4.11 Limitation on Liens.
          (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur or permit to 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.
          (b) If the Company or any Guarantor creates any additional Lien to secure any First-Priority 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 equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase.
          (b) The Company will not be required to make an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Offer to Purchase in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance 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 definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Offer to Purchase.
     Section 4.13 Limitation on Line of Business. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to engage in any business other than a Permitted

-66-


 

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 Moody’s (or, if either (or both) of S&P and Moody’s 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 Company’s name or in such Subsidiary’s 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 Subsidiary) or hold any Debt of, or any Lien on any property of, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Subsidiary of such Subsidiary that is also being designated to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary);
               (ii) At the time of the designation, the Investment by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary would be permitted under Section 4.07 as provided in clause (i) of Section 4.19(c);

               (iv) The Subsidiary is not party to any transaction or arrangement with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that would not be permitted under Section 4.10; and

-69-


 

               (v) Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any obligation to subscribe for additional Equity Interests of the Subsidiary or to maintain or preserve its financial condition or cause it to achieve specified levels of operating results, except to the extent permitted by Section 4.06 and Section 4.07.
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 Subsidiary, subject to the consequences set forth in Section 4.19(d).
               (ii) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the designation would not cause a Default.
          (c) Upon a Restricted Subsidiary becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary,
               (i) all existing Investments of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries therein (valued at the Company’s 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 Subsidiary held by it will be deemed incurred at that time;
               (iii) all existing transactions between it and the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary not described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.19(c) will be deemed entered into at that time;
               (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.
          (d) Upon an Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming, or being deemed to become, a Restricted Subsidiary,

-70-


 

               (i) all of its Debt and Disqualified or Preferred Stock will be deemed Incurred at that time for purposes of Section 4.06, but will not be considered the sale or issuance of Equity Interests for purposes of Section 4.09;
               (ii) Investments therein previously made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 will be credited thereunder;
               (iii) it may be required to issue a Note Guaranty pursuant to Section 4.18 and grant Liens on its assets pursuant to the Security Agreements and/or Section 12.04; and
               (iv) it will thenceforward be subject to the provisions of this Indenture as a Restricted Subsidiary.
          (e) Any designation by the Board of Directors of the Company of a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by promptly filing with the trustee a copy of the Board Resolution giving effect to the designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the designation complied with this Section 4.19.
     Section 4.20 Further Assurances; Collateral Inspections.
          (a) The Company and each of the Guarantors will make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file, record, register and/or deliver such agreements, documents, instruments, and further assurances (including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, mortgages, deeds of trust, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, real property surveys, reports, landlord waivers, bailee agreements and control agreements), and take such other actions, as may be required under applicable law or as the Trustee or the Second Lien Collateral Agent may deem reasonably appropriate or advisable to create, perfect, preserve or protect the security interest in the Collateral of the secured parties under the Security Agreements, all at the Issuer’s expense, but in each case subject to the limitations specified in the Security Agreements.
          (b) Upon written request of the Trustee or the Second Lien Collateral Agent at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will, and will cause the Guarantors to, subject to such party entering into a reasonable and customary confidentiality agreement, permit the Trustee or the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any advisor, auditor, consultant, attorney or representative acting for the Trustee or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, upon reasonable notice to the Company and during normal business hours, to visit and inspect any of the property of the Company and each Guarantor, to review, make extracts from and copy the books and records of the Company and the Guarantors relating to any such property, and to discuss any matter pertaining to any such property with the officers and employees of the Company and the Guarantors.

REMEDIES
     Section 6.01 Events of Default. Each of the following constitutes an “Event of Default”:

-74-


 

          (5) there occurs with respect to any Debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries having an outstanding principal amount of $50,000,000 or more in the aggregate for all such Debt of all such Persons (i) an event of default that results in such Debt being due and payable prior to its scheduled maturity or (ii) failure to make a principal payment at scheduled maturity and, in each 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 Company’s 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 involuntary case or other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or an order for relief is entered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect;

-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 Company’s 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.

               (v) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;
               (vi) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its reasonable discretion, may make further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters, and if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, upon reasonable notice to the Company and during normal business hours;

               (ix) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture, unless the Trustee’s conduct constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence;

               (xi) in no event shall the Trustee 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 Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and
               (xii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.
     Section 7.04 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s 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.

     Section 7.06 May Hold Notes. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any 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 with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent.
     Section 7.07 Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

          (a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
          (b) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses, advances and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall be determined to have been caused by the Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct; and

     The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.08 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

-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.

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.

          (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.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.07 or Section 9.02(b), the Company and the Trustee (including in its capacity as Second Lien Collateral Agent) may amend this Indenture, the Notes and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Security Agreements with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may waive future compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Agreements, in each case, including consents or waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes; provided, that pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement, amendments to any of the Security Agreements shall also require the consent of the requisite holders of each other series of Second-Priority Lien Obligations then outstanding (if any), in accordance with the amendment provisions of the Second-Priority Documents governing such other Second-Priority Lien Obligations, except to the extent that any such amendment would only adversely affect the Second-Priority Lien Obligations of a particular series, in which case only the written consent of the requisite holders of such series shall be required.

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.

          (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.

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 Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.

          (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-

          (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 Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
     Section 11.03 Discharge; Reinstatement. Each Guarantor’s 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 Guarantor’s 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

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.

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 Person’s authority.

          (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 Holder’s 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.

     The Company promises to pay the principal of this Note on March 1, 2018.
     The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each interest payment date, as set forth on the face of this Note, at the rate of 9.75% per annum.
     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.
     The Company will pay interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, pay interest on 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 days before a special record date, the Company will send to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that sets forth the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid.
2. Indenture; Note Guaranty

To the extent 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 such Additional Notes vote together for all purposes as a single class. This Note is guarantied as 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, as further described in the Indenture. There is no sinking fund or mandatory redemption applicable to this Note.

5. Defaults and Remedies.
     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.

A-5


 

6. Amendment and Waiver.
     Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes.

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.

          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 Agent’s

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 Agent’s 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 Grantor’s 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 Grantor’s 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 Grantor’s 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

          (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).

          (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 terms thereof and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, take all such action to such end as may be requested from time to time by the Collateral Agent; and

          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 evidence of such consent to the Collateral Agent.

          Section 16. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney in Fact.
          Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent such Grantor’s 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 Agent’s 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,

24


 

          Section 18. The Collateral Agent’s 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.

          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 Agent’s 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 Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor’s 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 company’s 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.

Security Agreement
FORM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT
     This INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of [                    ], 2010 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “IP Security Agreement”), is made [                                        ] (collectively, the “Grantors” and each, individually, a “Grantor”), in favor of The Bank of New York Mellon, as collateral agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Second Lien Secured Parties.
     WHEREAS, Eastman Kodak Company, a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), and certain direct or indirect subsidiaries [(including the Grantors)] of the Company party thereto (such subsidiaries, the “Guarantors”) have entered into an Indenture, dated as of March 5, 2010 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), with The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Trustee”).
     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 restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Collateral Trust Agreement”). Terms defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement.
     WHEREAS, under the terms of the Security Agreement, each Grantor has granted to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, a security interest in, among other property, certain intellectual property of such Grantor, and has agreed as a condition thereof to execute this IP Security Agreement for recording with the United States Copyright Office and other governmental authorities.
     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor agrees as follows:
     SECTION 1. Grant of Security. Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the following (the “Collateral”):
     (a) the patents and patent applications set forth in Schedule A hereto (the “Patents”);

 


 

     (b) the trademark and service mark registrations and applications set forth in Schedule B hereto (provided that no security interest shall be granted in United States intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant 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 international treaties or conventions, all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world 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 infringement, dilution, misappropriation, violation, misuse or breach with respect to any of the foregoing, with the right, but not the obligation, to sue for and collect, or otherwise recover, such damages; and
     (f) any and all proceeds of, collateral for, income, royalties and other payments now 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, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this IP Security Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Second Lien Obligations and that would be owed by such Grantor to any Second Lien Secured Party under the Second Lien Documents but for the fact that such Second Lien Obligations are unenforceable or not 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 any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

2


 

     SECTION 5. Grants, Rights and Remedies. This IP Security Agreement has been entered into in conjunction with the provisions of the Security Agreement. Each Grantor does hereby acknowledge and confirm that the grant of the security interest hereunder to, and the rights and remedies of, the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.
     SECTION 6. Governing Law. This IP Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
     SECTION 7. 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, among Citicorp USA, Inc. as First Lien Representative (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 the Intercreditor Agreement may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:
          WHEREAS, pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 5, 2010 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced, refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture), among the Company, the Guarantors, the other Trustors party thereto from time to time, the Indenture Trustee and the Collateral Agent, the Company intends to issue an aggregate original principal amount of $500,000,000 of its 9.75% senior secured notes due March 1, 2018 (together with any Additional Notes (as defined in the Indenture) issued pursuant to and in compliance with the Indenture, the “Notes”);
          WHEREAS, the Company and the Guarantors have entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2009 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 17, 2009, and by Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2010, and as may be further amended, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced, refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), among the financial institutions and other lenders from time to time party thereto and Citicorp USA, Inc., as agent, and the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the First Lien Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on the Common Collateral, which lien is to be first in priority to that of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Second Lien Obligations to the extent set forth in that certain Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of March 5, 2010 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Citicorp USA, Inc., as First Lien Representative (as defined therein), The Bank of New York Mellon, as Second Lien Representative (as defined therein), the Company, each other Trustor party thereto from time to time and such other Persons party thereto from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof;

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.

          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:

          (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

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.

29


 

Document) to the extent of the interest sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of; provided that, to the extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent’s Liens will attach to the proceeds received in respect of any such sale, transfer or other disposition, subject to the priorities set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 4.4;
          (iii) as to a release of any portion of the Second Lien Collateral (which may include all or substantially all of the Second Lien Collateral), with respect to such Second Lien Collateral, if (A) consent to the release of such Liens of the Collateral Agent on such Second Lien Collateral has been given by (i) the requisite holders of Notes (or the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the requisite holders of Notes) and (ii) the requisite holders of indebtedness in respect of each other Series of Second Lien Obligations, in each case as permitted by, and in accordance with, the applicable Second Lien Documents and (B) the Company shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral Agent certifying that the conditions described in this clause (iii) have been met and that such release of the Second Lien Collateral is permitted under, and does not violate the terms of, any Second Lien Document; provided, that the Collateral Agent’s Liens on any such Second Lien Collateral securing a particular Series of New Second Lien Obligations shall be released with respect to such Series if (A) consent to the release of such Liens has been given by the requisite holders of such Series of New Second Lien Obligations (determined under the New Second Lien Documents governing such Series) and (B) the Company shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral Agent certifying that the conditions described in this proviso to clause (iii) have been met and that such release of the Second Lien Collateral is permitted under, and does not violate the terms of, any Second Lien Document;
          (iv) as and when required in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement; and

          (b) Subject to Section 7.1(c), the Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Second Lien Collateral securing the Second Lien Note Obligations only (and not any other Second Lien Obligations) will be released upon payment in full and discharge of all outstanding Notes (or upon a defeasance or discharge in accordance with the Indenture) and all other Second Lien Note Obligations (other than any indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand for payment, whether oral or written, has been made), and thereafter the rights of the holders of the Notes and the Second Lien Note Obligations to the benefit and proceeds of the Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Second Lien Collateral will terminate and be discharged; provided that the Company shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral Agent certifying that the conditions described in this clause (b) have been met and that such release of the Second Lien Collateral is permitted under, and does not violate the terms of, any Second Lien Document;

30

          (d) The Second Lien Collateral of a Guarantor shall be automatically released upon the release of such Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guaranty as provided in Section 13.09 of the Indenture. If at any time (x) no Second Lien Note Obligations are outstanding (other than any indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand for payment, whether oral or written, has been made) and (y) New Second Lien Obligations are outstanding (or commitments to extend credit under any New Second Lien Facility are in effect), the Second Lien Collateral of a Subsidiary of the Company that is a guarantor with respect to a New Second Lien Facility shall be released with respect to the applicable Series of New Second Lien Obligations upon the release of such Subsidiary’s guarantee in accordance with the Second Lien Documents governing such Series.
          (e) If the Second Lien Collateral shall at any time include any Equity Interests of a Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Material Subsidiary, and if such Equity Interests are not otherwise required to be Second Lien Collateral under the terms of any Second Lien Documents, then the Collateral Agent’s Liens on such Equity Interests shall be automatically released.
          (f) Upon the release of the Second Lien Collateral, or any portion thereof, in each case in accordance with the provisions hereof (other than any Second Lien Collateral that is released with respect to less than all of the Second Lien Obligations), all right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in, to and under the Trust Estate in respect of the Second Lien Collateral or portion thereof so released, and the Second Lien Collateral Documents in respect of such Second Lien Collateral, shall terminate and shall revert to the respective Trustors, their successors and assigns, and the estate, right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent therein shall thereupon cease, determine and become void; and in such case (including a release with respect to less than all of the Second Lien Obligations), upon the written request of the respective Trustors, their successors or assigns, and at the cost and expense of the Trustors, their successors or assigns, the Collateral Agent shall execute in respect of the Second Lien Collateral so released, a satisfaction of the Second Lien Collateral Documents with respect to such Second Lien Collateral and such instruments as are necessary or desirable to terminate and remove of record any documents constituting public notice of the Second Lien Collateral Documents and the security interests and assignments granted thereunder, in each case with respect to such Second Lien Collateral, and shall 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, including all moneys, instruments and Securities (if any), of the Trustors then held by the Collateral Agent. The cancellation and satisfaction of the Second Lien Collateral Documents shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Collateral Agent or any successor trustee to charge and be reimbursed for any expenditures that it may thereafter incur in connection therewith.

          (a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, with the written consent of the Indenture Trustee and each New Second Lien Representative (if any) (in each case given in accordance with (x) the requirements (including the amendment provisions) of the Second Lien Documents with respect to the applicable Series of Second Lien Obligations or (y) Section 8.18 of this Agreement (if applicable)), the Collateral Agent and the Trustors may, from time to time, enter into written supplements, amendments, restatements, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement or any Second Lien Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to, amending, waiving or otherwise modifying any provision of this Agreement or any Second Lien Collateral Document or changing the rights of the Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Secured Parties or the Trustors hereunder or thereunder; provided, however, that:
          (i) no such supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification shall, without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, (x) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 6 or alter the duties or obligations of the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any Second Lien Collateral Document or (y) amend or modify the definition of “Majority Holders” set forth in Section 1.2;
          (ii) any such supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification that would only adversely affect the Second Lien Obligations of a particular Series shall require only the written consent of the Representative with respect to such Series (given in accordance with the requirements (including the amendment provisions if applicable) of the Second Lien Documents with respect to such Series); and
          (iii) any such supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification that has the effect of releasing Second Lien Collateral from the Liens granted pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Documents other than as provided for in Section 7.1 shall be effective only if made in accordance with the requirements of, and the amendment provisions set forth in, the Second Lien Documents;
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 Officer’s 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 Holders hereunder. Following and in accordance with the outcome of the applicable vote under its 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 cast all of its votes as a block in respect of any vote under this Agreement.
          (b) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining at any time whether the “Majority Holders” have given any instruction or taken any action hereunder (or consented to the taking of any action hereunder), the following rules shall apply: (i) the Representative with respect to each 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, (ii) each Representative shall, with respect to the principal amount of indebtedness constituting 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 with the definition of Majority Holders hereunder, and (b) shall be binding upon all of the Second Lien Secured Parties, unless the matter which is the subject of the applicable vote requires pursuant to the terms hereof the consent of all Second Lien Secured Parties.

          8.10 Governing Law.
          This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York and any action alleging any breach by the Collateral Agent of its duties hereunder, whether by act or omission or anticipatory, shall be prosecuted only in the courts of the State of New York.
          8.11 Consent to Jurisdiction.
          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 Officer’s 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 Kodak’s 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.

 


 

Kodak Announces Final Results / Page 2
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. KKR’s 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 Kodak’s 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.
