Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person or entity), and to the extent any
covenant in any Security Document is applicable to such limited liability company immediately prior to such divi-
sion, such covenant shall apply to any Person resulting from such division immediately after such division. For the
avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Section 4.21, any Person resulting from such division of a Restricted Subsidiary
constitutes a new Restricted Subsidiary that is created or acquired after the Completion Date;
(p) unless the context requires otherwise, terms not otherwise defined herein and that are defined in
the UCC or the Canadian PPSA or in similar laws of any relevant jurisdiction, as applicable, shall have the meanings
therein defined;

présentes ont expressément exigé que la présente convention et tous les autres contrats, documents ou avis qui y
sont afferents soient rédigés en langue anglaise;
(r) references to sections of or rules under the Securities Act will be deemed to include substitute, re-
placement or successor sections or rules adopted by the Commission from time to time;
(s) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, prior to the qualification of this
Indenture under the TIA, no provision of the TIA shall apply or be incorporated by reference into this Inden-
ture or the Notes, except as specifically set forth in this Indenture; and
(t) wherever in this Indenture or the Notes there is mentioned, in any context:
(3) interest; or
(4) any other amount payable on or with respect to any Guarantee of a Note,
such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Addi-
tional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, when (a) calculating any applicable Financial
Incurrence Test (as defined below) or availability under any Basket, in connection with the incurrence of any Lim-
ited Condition Transaction, any Indebtedness or any other transaction in connection with a Limited Condition Trans-
action and any actions or transactions related thereto (including for all purposes under this section, the making of
acquisitions and investments, Asset Sales or other dispositions, the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disquali-
fied Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence of Liens, repayments of Indebtedness,
the making of Restricted Payments and/or the designation of a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unre-
stricted Subsidiary), (b) determining (i) compliance with any provision of this Indenture which requires that no De-
fault or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) has occurred, is continuing or would result
therefrom, or (ii) the satisfaction of any other conditions, in each case under this clause (b), in connection with the
incurrence of any Limited Condition Transaction, any Indebtedness or any other transaction in connection with a
Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto, in each case under the foregoing
clauses (a) and (b), the date of determination of such Financial Incurrence Test, availability under any Basket or
other provisions, determination of whether any Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of De-
fault) has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, determination of the satisfaction of any other conditions
shall, at the option of the Parent Guarantor (in its sole discretion) (the Parent Guarantor’s election to exercise such
option, an “LCT Election,” which LCT Election may be in respect of one or more of clauses (a), (b)(i) and (b)(ii)
above), be deemed to be (w) in the case of any transaction contemplated by clause (1) of the definition of “Limited
Condition Transaction,” either (I) the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are en-
tered into or (II) solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and
-60-
Mergers applies (or similar laws of another jurisdiction), the date on which a “Rule 2.7 Announcement” of a firm
intention to make an offer (or similar announcement under the laws of another jurisdiction) in respect of a target of a
Limited Condition Transaction, (x) in the case of any transaction contemplated by clause (2) of the definition of
“Limited Condition Transaction,” at the time of delivery of the notice with respect thereto, (y) in the case of any
transaction contemplated by clause (3) of the definition of “Limited Condition Transaction,” at the time of the decla-
ration of such restricted payment so long as such restricted payment is made within 60 days after such declaration or
(z) in the case of any transaction contemplated by clause (4) of the definition of Limited Condition Transaction, the
date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or, in each case, such later
date elected by the Parent Guarantor (each, the “LCT Test Date”) and, subject to the other provisions of this section,
if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction, any Indebtedness or other transaction in con-
nection therewith and any actions or transactions related thereto and any related pro forma adjustments, the Parent
Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such actions or consummate such
transactions on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such Basket (and any related requirements and con-
ditions), such Basket (and any related requirements and conditions) shall be deemed to have been complied with (or
satisfied) for all purposes; provided, that (x) if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall
have become available, the Parent Guarantor may elect, in its sole discretion, to re-determine availability under Bas-
kets on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed
to be the applicable LCT Test Date for purposes of such Basket (provided that, if the Parent Guarantor elects to re-
determine availability under an applicable Basket under this clause (x), to the extent otherwise required under the
applicable Basket, the determination of whether any Event of Default under Section 6.01(2) or, with respect to the
Parent Guarantor, Section 6.01(6) or (7) shall be continuing shall also be made at such time), and (y) except as con-
templated in the foregoing clause (x), compliance with such Baskets (and any related requirements and conditions)
shall not be determined or tested at any time after the applicable LCT Test Date for such Limited Condition Transac-
tion (as such date may be updated to reflect any amendment to the definitive transaction documents as set forth
above), any Indebtedness or other transaction incurred in connection therewith and any actions or transactions re-
lated thereto.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parent Guarantor has made an LCT Election, (a) if any of the ratios, tests
or Baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT
Test Date have been exceeded or otherwise failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such
Financial Incurrence Test or Basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Parent Guarantor
or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, such Baskets, tests or ratios will be deemed not to have
been exceeded or failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations, (b) other than as expressly set
forth in this section, if any related requirements and conditions (including as to the absence of any (or any type of)
continuing Default or Event of Default) for which compliance or satisfaction was determined or tested as of the LCT
Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date not have been complied with or satisfied (including due to the
occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default), such requirements and conditions will be deemed
not to have been failed to be complied with or satisfied (and such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to
have occurred or be continuing) and (c) in calculating the availability under any Financial Incurrence Test or Basket
in connection with any action or transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date
on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or date for
redemption, purchase or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice or declaration for such Limited Condition
Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Trans-
action, any such Financial Incurrence Test or Basket shall be determined or tested giving pro forma effect to such
Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto.
For purposes of calculating any Financial Incurrence Test or availability under any Basket (or Consolidated
EBITDA), Specified Transactions (with the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to
be subject to the next succeeding paragraph (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving facility
or line of credit) that have been made (a) during the applicable Test Period or (b) subsequent to such Test Period and
prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a
pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated
EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had oc-
curred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person
-61-
that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Par-
ent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified
Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this section, then such financial ratio or test (or Consol-
idated EBITDA) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this section; provided that
with respect to any pro forma calculations to be made in connection with any acquisition or investment in respect of
which financial statements for the relevant target are not available for the same Test Period for which internal finan-
cial statements of the Parent Guarantor are available, the Parent Guarantor shall determine such pro forma calcula-
tions on the basis of the available financial statements (even if for differing periods) or such other basis as deter-
mined on a commercially reasonable basis by the Parent Guarantor.
Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to the Arrangement Transactions, a Specified Transaction or the
implementation of an operational initiative or operational change, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good
faith by a financial officer of the Parent Guarantor and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-
rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies
projected by the Parent Guarantor in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken, committed to be
taken or expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Parent Guarantor) (calculated on a pro forma
basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements
and synergies had been realized in full on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense
reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies were realized in full during the en-
tirety of such period) and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action
taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken
(including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public com-
pany requirements), whether prior to or following the Completion Date, net of the amount of actual benefits realized
during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calcula-
tions of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected
to be realized) relating to the Arrangement Transactions, such Specified Transaction, such implementation of an op-
erational initiative or operational change; provided that (a) such amounts are reasonably identifiable, (b) except as
set forth in the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA,” such actions are taken, committed to be taken or with respect
to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Parent
Guarantor) no later than twenty-four (24) months after the date of the Arrangement Transactions, such Specified
Transaction such implementation of an operational initiative or operational change (or actions undertaken or imple-
mented prior to the consummation of such Specified Transaction), (c) no amounts shall be added to the extent dupli-
cative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (or any other components
thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period and (d) it is understood
and agreed that, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this paragraph, amounts to be included in pro
forma calculations pursuant to this paragraph may be included in Test Periods in which the Specified Transaction to
which such amounts relate to is no longer being given pro forma effect pursuant to the immediately preceding para-
graph.
In the event that (a) the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or
guarantees), issues or repays (including by redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or
extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility),
(b) the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock, (c) any Re-
stricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Preferred Stock or (d) the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Sub-
sidiary establishes or eliminates any Designated Revolving Commitments, in each case included in the calculations
of any financial ratio or test (and, in each case of the foregoing clauses (a) and (d), any Lien incurred in connection
therewith), (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior
to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or
test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, issuance, repayment or redemption of Indebted-
ness, issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, or establishment or elimination of
any Designated Revolving Commitments, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last
day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio), in which
case such incurrence, issuance, guarantee, discharge, defeasance, extinguishment, repayment or redemption of In-
debtedness, issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, or establishment or elimi-
nation of any Designated Revolving Commitments, in each case will be given effect, as if the same had occurred on
the first day of the applicable Test Period) and, in the case of Indebtedness for all purposes such financial ratio or
-62-
test shall be calculated as if such Indebtedness in the full amount of any undrawn Designated Revolving Commit-
ments had been incurred thereunder throughout such period.
If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such
Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest
hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to
accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a financial officer of the Parent Guarantor to be the rate of inter-
est implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with IFRS. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally
be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate,
or other rate shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such
optional rate chosen as the Parent Guarantor or applicable Restricted Subsidiary may designate. Notwithstanding
anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in the event any Lien, Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness under the
ABL Credit Agreement outstanding on the Completion Date, which will be deemed to have been incurred in reli-
ance on Section 4.09(b)(1)), Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, Investment, Restricted Payment, or
other transaction, action, judgment or amount incurred under any provision in this Indenture (or any of the foregoing
in concurrent transactions, a single transaction or a series of related transactions) meets the criteria of one or more
than one of the categories of Baskets under this Indenture (including within any defined terms), including any Fixed
Basket or Non-Fixed Basket, as applicable, the Parent Guarantor shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to divide
and classify and to later, at any time and from time to time, re-divide and re-classify (including to re-classify utiliza-
tion of any Fixed Basket as being incurred under any Non-Fixed Basket or other Fixed Basket or utilization of any
Non-Fixed Basket as being incurred under any Fixed Basket or other Non-Fixed Basket) on one or more occasions
(based on circumstances existing on the date of any such re-division and re-classification) any such Lien, Indebted-
ness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, Investment, Restricted Payment, or other transaction, action,
judgment or amount, in whole or in part, among one or more than one applicable Baskets under this Indenture (in
the case of re-classification or re-division, so long as the amount so re-classified or re-divided is re-classified or re-
divided only within the same negative covenant (other than with respect to re-classification of Restricted Payments
to Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(32)) and permitted at the time of such re-classification or re-division to
be incurred pursuant to the applicable Basket into which such amount is re-classified or re-divided at such time). For
the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Lien, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, In-
vestment, Restricted Payment or other transaction, action, judgment or amount that shall be allocated to each such
Basket shall be determined by the Parent Guarantor at the time of such division, classification, re-division or re-clas-
sification, as applicable. If any Lien, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, Investment, Re-
stricted Payment, or other transaction, action, judgment or amount incurred under any provision in this Indenture (or
any portion of the foregoing) previously divided and classified (or re-divided and re-classified) as set forth above
under any Fixed Basket, could subsequently be re-divided and re-classified under a Non-Fixed Basket, such re-divi-
sion and re-classification shall be deemed to occur automatically, in each case, unless otherwise elected by the Par-
ent Guarantor. For all purposes hereunder, (x) “Fixed Basket” shall mean any Basket that is subject to a fixed-dollar
limit (including Baskets based on a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA) and (y) “Non-Fixed Basket” shall mean
any Basket that is subject to compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio,
the Consolidated First Lien Debt Ratio, the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio or the Consolidated Total Debt
Ratio) (any such ratio or test, a “Financial Incurrence Test”).
Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in calculating any Non-Fixed Basket (a) any
amounts incurred under any revolving facility, (b) any Indebtedness concurrently incurred to fund original issue dis-
count or upfront fees and (c) any amounts incurred, or transactions entered into or consummated, in reliance on a
Fixed Basket in a concurrent transaction, a single transaction or a series of related transactions with the amount in-
curred, or transaction entered into or consummated, under an applicable Non-Fixed Basket, in each case of the fore-
going clauses (a), (b) and (c), shall be disregarded in the calculation of such Non-Fixed Basket; provided that full
pro forma effect shall be given to all applicable and related transactions (including the use of proceeds of all applica-
ble Indebtedness incurred and any repayments, repurchases and redemptions of Indebtedness) and all other adjust-
ments as to which pro forma effect may be given under this section. If any Lien, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock,
Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, Investment, Restricted Payment, or other transaction, action, judgment or amount (any
of the foregoing in concurrent transactions, a single transaction or a series of related transactions) is incurred, issued,
taken or consummated in reliance on categories of Baskets measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated
-63-
EBITDA, and any Lien, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, Investment, Restricted Pay-
ment, or other transaction, action, judgment or amount (including in connection with refinancing thereof) would
subsequently exceed the applicable percentage of Consolidated EBITDA if calculated based on the Consolidated
EBITDA on a later date (including the date of any refinancing or re-classification), such percentage of Consolidated
EBITDA will be deemed not to be exceeded (so long as, in the case of refinancing any Indebtedness, Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock (and any related Lien), the principal amount or the liquidation preference of such newly
incurred or issued Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock does not exceed the maximum principal
amount, liquidation preference or amount of Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Indebtedness, Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased).
For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calcu-
lated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calen-
dar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of
interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of
days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calcula-
tion hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates
or yields.
If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any
currency (the “Original Currency”) in another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereby agree, to the full-
est extent permitted by applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, on the relevant date, in
accordance with its normal banking procedures, the Co-Trustees or any Holder could purchase the Original Cur-
rency with the Other Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on
which final judgment is given.
If any provision of this Indenture would oblige any Co-Issuer to make any payment of interest or other
amount payable to the Trustee, Co-Trustee or any Holder in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be pro-
hibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Trustee, Co-Trustee or that Holder of “interest” at a “criminal rate”
(as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount
or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as
the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Trustee, Co-Trustee
or that Holder of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to
the extent necessary), as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest to be paid to the Trustee, Co-
Trustee or the affected Holder, as the case may be; and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, ex-
penses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Trustee Co-Trustee or the affected Holder, as the
case may be, which would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).
Unless otherwise provided herein, (a) references to organization documents, agreements (including the Se-
curity Documents, ABL Financing Documents and the First Lien Documents) and other contractual obligations shall
be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, refinancings, extensions, supplements and other
modifications thereto, but only to the extent that such amendments, restatements, refinancings, extensions, supple-
ments and other modifications are not prohibited by this Indenture or the Security Documents; and (b) references to
any law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amendment, replacing, supplementing or
interpreting such law. Any term or section reference herein or in the other Security Documents which refers to a
defined term or section reference in any organization document, agreement, contractual obligation or law shall be
deemed to be a cross-reference to the same or comparable defined term or section reference, as applicable, in any
such amendment, restatement, refinancing or other modification to such organization document, agreement, contrac-
tual obligation or any such consolidation, amendment, replacement, supplement or interpretation of such law.

ARTICLE 2
THE NOTES
(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s (or its Authenticating Agent’s) certificate of authen-
tication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or en-
dorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage; provided that any such notations, legends or en-
dorsements are in a form reasonably acceptable to the Co-Issuers. Each Note will be dated the date of its
authentication. Each note will bear interest at a rate of 6.000% per annum from the Issue Date or from the
most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semiannually on each March 15
and September 15 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing with March 15,
2021 to holders of record at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1, whether or not a Business
Day, immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date. Interest will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of
this Indenture and the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Co-Trustee, by their exe-
cution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. How-
ever, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of
this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global
Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto
(but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the
Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be
specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes rep-
resented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and
redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the cus-
todian for the Depositary (the “Custodian”), at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions
given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.
(c) Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be is-
sued initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which will be deposited on behalf of
the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as Custodian, and registered in the name of
the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of
Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Co-Issuers and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter
provided. After the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Initial Notes and the
Issue Date (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”) and upon the receipt
by the Trustee of:
(1) certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto,
certifying that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any benefi-
cial owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another ex-
emption from registration under the Securities Act and who will take delivery of a beneficial ownership
interest in a 144A Global Note bearing a Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.06(b)
hereof); and
(2) an Officer’s Certificate from the Co-Issuers, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Tem-
porary Global Note will be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note
pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary (the “Applicable Procedures”). Simultaneously
-65-
with such exchange of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee will cancel the Regulation S
Temporary Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and
the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments
made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection
with transfers of interests as hereinafter provided.
(d) Euroclear and Clearstream Applicable Procedures. The provisions of the “Operating Pro-
cedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “Gen-
eral Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be ap-
plicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S
Permanent Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.
(e) Issuance of Additional Notes. Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes
may be created and issued from time to time by the Co-Issuers without notice to or consent of the Holders
and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as
to status or otherwise as the Initial Notes, subject to the next paragraph; provided that (i) the Co-Issuers’
ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Co-Issuers’ compliance with Sections 4.09 and 4.12
hereof and (ii) a separate CUSIP, Common Code or ISIN number will be used for Additional Notes, unless
the Notes and Additional Notes are treated as fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any Addi-
tional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture supplemental to this Indenture.
The Co-Issuers may designate the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions applicable
to each series of Additional Notes, which may differ from the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption
provisions applicable to the Initial Notes, subject to the applicable provisions of the first paragraph of Section 9.02.
Additional Notes that differ with respect to maturity date, interest rate or optional redemption provisions from the
Notes issued on the Issue Date will constitute a different series of Notes from such Initial Notes. Unless otherwise
designated by the Co-Issuers, Additional Notes that have the same maturity date, interest rate and optional redemp-
tion provisions as the Initial Notes will be treated as the same as the Initial Notes for all purposes under this Inden-
ture. The Co-Issuers similarly may vary the application of related other provisions (including the issue price and
any applicable original issue discount legend) to any series of Additional Notes.
At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Co-Issuers by manual, facsimile or electronic (in “pdf” for-
mat) signature.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the
Note will nevertheless be valid.
A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trus-
tee. The signature of the Trustee on a Note will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated
and delivered under this Indenture.
The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order signed by an Officer of the Co-Issuers (an “Authentication
Order”), authenticate (i) Notes for original issue, of which $485,000,000 in aggregate principal amount will be is-
sued on the Issue Date, and (ii) any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any
time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Co-Issuers pursuant to
one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the
Co-Issuers to authenticate Notes. Such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do
so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating
Agent . An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Co-Issu-
ers. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and
demands.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.
The Trustee will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or
for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”)
and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for transfer or exchange (the “Transfer Agent”). The Regis-
trar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The registered holder of a Note will be
treated as the owner of the Note for all purposes. The Co-Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or
more additional paying agents or transfer agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, the term “Paying
Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Transfer Agent” includes any additional transfer agent.
The Co-Issuers may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent without prior notice to any Holder. The
Co-Issuers will notify the Co-Trustees in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.
If the Co-Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, the Trustee
shall act as such Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar. The Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries may act
as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar.
The Co-Issuers initially appoint DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.
The Co-Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as Custodian with respect to the global notes and as Reg-
istrar with respect to the Notes. The Co-Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Paying Agent with respect
to the Notes. The Co-Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Transfer Agent with respect to the Notes.
Each of the foregoing hereby accepts such respective appointments.
The Co-Issuers 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 Holders and the Co-Trustees all money held by the Paying Agent for the
payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes, and will notify the Co-Trustees, as applica-
ble, of any default by the Co-Issuers in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Co-Trus-
tees may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Co-Trustees, as applicable. The Co-Issuers at
any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Co-Trustees, as applicable. Upon payment
over to the Co-Trustees, as applicable, the Paying Agent (if other than the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary) will
have no further liability for the money. If the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segre-
gate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any
bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Co-Issuers, the Co-Trustees will serve as Paying Agent for
the Notes.
The Co-Trustees will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available
to them of the names and addresses of all Holders. If neither of the Co-Trustees is the Registrar, the Co-Issuers will
furnish to the Co-Trustees at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as
the Co-Trustees may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Co-Trustees, as applicable,
may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes.
(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section
2.06, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary
or to a successor thereto or a nominee of such successor thereto. All Global Notes may be exchanged for
Definitive Notes of the same series if:
(A) the Depositary (x) notifies the Co-Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as De-
positary for such Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act,
and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Co-Issuers within 120 days, or
-67-
(B) if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the
Notes and the beneficial owners thereof have requested such exchange.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any of the events in clauses (A) or (B) above, Definitive Notes
delivered in exchange for any Global Note of the same series or beneficial interests therein will be registered
in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in ac-
cordance with its customary procedures). Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in
part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for,
or in lieu of, a Global Note of the same series or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sec-
tions 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note,
except for Definitive Notes issued subsequent to any of the events in clause (A) or (B) above and pursuant to
Section 2.06(c) hereof. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this
Section 2.06(b); provided, however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged
as provided in this Section 2.06(b) or in Section 2.06(c) or (d) hereof.
(c) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and ex-
change of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted
Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent re-
quired by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compli-
ance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following
subparagraphs, as applicable:
(1) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Re-
stricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Pri-
vate Placement Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of
beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the
account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an initial purchaser). Beneficial interests in any Unre-
stricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered
to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(c)(1).
(2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection
with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(c)(1) above, the

-68-
(ii) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing infor-
mation regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to
effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above;
provided that in no event shall Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial inter-
ests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B)
the receipt by the Co-Trustees of the certificates required by Section 2.01(c) hereof.
(3) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest

beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Sec-
tion 2.06(c)(2) above and the Registrar receives the following:
(A) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A
Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, includ-
ing the certifications in item (1) thereof, or
(B) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Reg-
ulation S Temporary Global Note or the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, then the transferor
must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (2)
thereof.

Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be ex-
changed by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a
Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the
exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(c)(2) hereof and:
(A) [Reserved];

same series, a certificate from such Holder substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including
the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or

cial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note of the same series, a certificate from such holder in the

that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer
contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compli-
ance with the Securities Act.
If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (D) above at a time when an Unrestricted Global
Note has not yet been issued, the Co-Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance
-69-
with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate prin-
cipal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to subparagraph (D)

Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who

names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall
instruct the Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.

tered. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note pursuant

deemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or re-
tained and canceled by the Co-Trustees in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such
cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will
take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the
principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement

ginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption
under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;
(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part;
(C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the
next succeeding Interest Payment Date; or
(D) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes tendered (and not with-
drawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer.
(6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, the
Co-Trustee, any Agent and the Co-Issuers may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is regis-
tered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject
to the record date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the
Trustee, Co-Trustee, any Agent or the Co-Issuers shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(7) The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.
(8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the
Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by
facsimile.
(9) The Registrar, Transfer Agent and Co-Trustees shall have no obligation or duty to moni-
tor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or
under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers be-
tween or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to
require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and
to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to deter-
mine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
(10) Neither the Trustee, the Co-Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any
actions taken or not taken by the Depositary or with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary
or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Co-Trustee and the Co-Trustees receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Co-Issuers will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt
of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s or Co-Trustee’s requirements are
met. If required by the Trustee, Co-Trustee or the Co-Issuers, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder
that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee, Co-Trustee and the Co-Issuers to protect the Co-Issuers, the Trustee,
the Co-Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is re-
placed. The Co-Issuers may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Co-Issuers in
their sole discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.
-77-
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.07, the Co-Issuers may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Co-Trustees) connected therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in exchange for any mutilated Note or in lieu of any
destroyed, lost, or stolen Note will constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Parent Guarantor,
whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued
hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes.
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled
by it, those delivered to the Co-Issuers for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by
the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.
Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Co-Issuers or an Af-
filiate of the Co-Issuers holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Co-Trustees re-
ceives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstand-
ing and interest on it ceases to accrue.
If the Paying Agent (other than the Parent Guarantor, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on
a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date
such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direc-
tion, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Co-Issuers, the Parent Guarantor or any other Guarantor, or by any Per-
son directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Parent
Guarantor or any other Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of de-
termining whether the Co-Trustees will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes
with respect to which a Responsible Officer of the Co-Trustees has received written notice as being so owned at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Co-Trustees will be so disregarded.
Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Co-Issuers may prepare and the Trustee,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially
in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Parent Guarantor considers appropriate for tempo-
rary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Co-Trustees. Without unreasonable delay, the Co-Issuers
will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes upon receipt of an
Authentication Order. Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.
The Co-Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying
Agent and any Transfer Agent will forward to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes surrendered to them for regis-
-78-
tration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registra-
tion of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance
with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of
the disposition of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers may not issue new Notes to
replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
If the Co-Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Co-Issuers will pay the defaulted interest
in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are
Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01
hereof; provided that if the Co-Issuers pay the defaulted interest prior to the date that is 30 days after the date of de-
fault in payment of interest, payment shall be to the recordholders of the Notes as of the original record date. The
Co-Issuers will notify the Co-Trustees in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each
Note and the date of the proposed payment. If such default in interest continues for 30 days, the Co-Issuers will fix
or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may
be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special
record date, the Co-Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Co-Issuers, the Co-Trustees in the name and at the
expense of the Co-Issuers) will send or cause to be sent to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the
related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.
The Parent Guarantor in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN and “Common Code” numbers (if then
generally in use) and, if so, the Co-Trustees shall use CUSIP, ISIN and “Common Code” numbers in notices of re-
demption as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall
not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Parent Guarantor will as promptly as practicable
notify the Co-Trustees in writing of any change in CUSIP, ISIN and “Common Code” numbers.
ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT
If the Co-Issuers elect to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Co-Trus-
tees, at least two Business Days (unless the Co-Trustees agree to a shorter period) before notice of redemption is
required to be delivered to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the para-
graph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur,
(ii) the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), (iii) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (iv)
the redemption price.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Co-Trustees will select the Notes for re-
demption in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are
listed, as certified to the Co-Trustees by the Co-Issuers, and in compliance with the requirements of DTC, or if the
Notes are not so listed or such exchange prescribes no method of selection and the Notes are not held through DTC
or DTC prescribes no method of selection, the Co-Trustees will select on a pro rata basis, subject to adjustments so
that no Note in an unauthorized denomination remains outstanding after such redemption; provided, however, that
no Note of $2,000 in an aggregate principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part.
-79-
Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 hereof and except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.09 hereof, at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Co-Issuers will mail or cause to be mailed, by
first class mail (or with respect to Global Notes, to the extent permitted or required by the Depositary’s Applicable
Procedures, send electronically), at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, a notice of re-
demption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices
may be mailed or sent more than 90 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a de-
feasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof.
The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:
(2) the redemption price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof;
(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note
will state the portion of the principal amount of such Note that is to be redeemed. A new Note in principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the
Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or transferred by book entry). Notes called for redemption
become due on the date fixed for redemption, subject to any conditions precedent as described below. Un-
less the Co-Issuers default in the payment of the redemption price on and after the redemption date, interest
will cease to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption;
(5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
redemption price;
(6) that, unless the Co-Issuers default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes
called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;
(7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes
called for redemption are being redeemed;
(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, Common
Code or ISIN numbers, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and
(9) if the redemption is conditional, the one or more conditions precedent and that the Parent
Guarantor may delay the redemption in its discretion until such time as the condition or conditions are sat-
isfied or waived.
At the Co-Issuers’ request, the Co-Trustees will give the notice of redemption in the Co-Issuers’ name and
at the Co-Issuers’ expense; provided, however, that the Co-Issuers have delivered to the Co-Trustees at least an Of-
ficer’s Certificate requesting that the Co-Trustees give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in
such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.
Notice of any redemption, whether in connection with an Equity Offering, Change of Control, Asset Sale or
other transaction or event, may, at the Co-Issuers’ discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such
redemption or notice may, at the Co-Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including,
but not limited to, completion of the related Equity Offering, Change of Control, Asset Sale or other transaction or
event. The Co-Issuers may redeem Notes pursuant to one or more of the relevant provisions of this Indenture, and a
single notice of redemption may be delivered with respect to redemptions made pursuant to different provisions. In
addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption
shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Co-Issuers’ discretion, the redemption
-80-
date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed
or delivered) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Co-Issuers in their sole discretion), or
such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall
not have been satisfied (or waived by the Co-Issuers in their sole discretion) by the redemption date as stated in such
notice, or by the redemption date as so delayed or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Co-Issuers’
discretion if the Co-Issuers determine that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. The Co-Issuers may
provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Co-Issuers’ obligations with
respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.
Except as provided in Section 3.07(e) hereof, once notice of redemption is mailed or transmitted in accord-
ance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption
date at the redemption price. The notice, if mailed or transmitted in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively
presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice
by mail or by such other means as may be required hereby or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note des-
ignated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any
other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the
Notes or portion thereof called for redemption.
Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date, the Co-Issuers will deposit with the Co-
Trustees or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on,
all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Co-Trustees or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Co-Issuers
any money deposited with the Co-Trustees or the Paying Agent by the Co-Issuers in excess of the amounts neces-
sary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or pur-
chased.
If the Co-Issuers comply with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date,
interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If any Note called for re-
demption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Co-Issuers to comply with the
preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such
principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.
Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Co-Issuers will issue, and upon receipt
of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Co-Issuers, a new Note
equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered (or transfer such Note
by book entry). It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentica-
tion Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such
new Note.
(a) At any time prior to September 15, 2022, the Co-Issuers may on any one or more occa-
sions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (calculated after giving effect to the is-
suance of any Additional Notes treated as the same class as the Initial Notes) issued under this Indenture at a
redemption price equal to 106.000% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to but excluding, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of Notes on a rele-
vant record date to receive interest on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date),
with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering; provided that:
-81-
(1) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture (in-
cluding any Additional Notes treated as the same class as the Initial Notes, but excluding Notes held by the
Co-Issuers, any direct or indirect parent of the Co-Issuers or any of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries)
remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption, unless all such Notes are re-
deemed substantially concurrently; and
(2) the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.
(b) In addition, at any time prior to September 15, 2022, the Co-Issuers may redeem up to
10% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture during each
of the twelve-month periods ending after the Issue Date, upon notice pursuant to Section 13.02, at a redemp-
tion price equal to 103% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon
to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of Notes on a relevant record date to
receive interest on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date).
(c) At any time prior to September 15, 2022, the Co-Issuers may on any one or more occa-
sions redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the
date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of Notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due
on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date).
(d) Except pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) above and Section 3.10, the Notes will not be
redeemable at the Co-Issuers’ option prior to September 15, 2022.
(e) On or after September 15, 2022, the Co-Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem
all or a portion of the Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth
below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to, but excluding, the applicable date
of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on September 15 of the years indicated
below (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on a relevant record date to receive interest on an interest
payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date):
Year Percentage
2022 ....................................................................................... 103.000%
2023 ....................................................................................... 101.500%
2024 and thereafter ................................................................ 100.000%
(f) In connection with any redemption of Notes (including with net cash proceeds of an Eq-
uity Offering), any such redemption may, at the Co-Issuers’ discretion, be given prior to the completion of a
transaction and be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, consummation
of any related Equity Offering, consummation of a Change of Control or consummation of a refinancing of
any Indebtedness. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more condi-
tions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Co-Issuers’ discretion, the redemption date may be de-
layed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or de-
livered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by
the Co-Issuers in their sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded
in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Co-Issuers in their
sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, the Co-Issuers
may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Co-Issuers’ obliga-
tions with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, includ-
ing a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the
Co-Issuers, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Co-Issuers, purchase all of the Notes
validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Co-Issuers or such third party will have the right
-82-
upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such pur-
chase date, to redeem all (but not less than all) Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a
redemption price equal to the price offered to each other Holder (excluding any early tender or incentive fee)
in such tender offer plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the date of such redemption (subject to the right of Holders of Notes on a
relevant record date to receive interest on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption
date). In determining whether the Holders of at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstand-
ing Notes have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn such Notes in a tender offer, including a Change
of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, Notes owned by the Co-Issuers or their Affiliates or by funds con-
trolled or managed by any Affiliate of the Co-Issuers, or any successors thereof, shall be deemed to be out-
standing for the purposes of such tender offer.
(h) Unless the Co-Issuers default in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to
accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.
Except as described in Section 3.09, the Co-Issuers are not required to make mandatory redemption or sink-
ing fund payments with respect to the Notes.
(a) In the event that (i) the Escrow Outside Date occurs and the Escrow Agent shall not have
received the Release Request from the Co-Issuers and Parent Guarantor on or prior to such date, or (ii) the
Parent Guarantor informs the Escrow Agent in writing that, in the reasonable judgment of the Parent Guar-
antor, the Arrangement will not be consummated on or prior to the Escrow Outside Date or (iii) the Parent
Guarantor informs the Escrow Agent in writing that the Arrangement Agreement was terminated prior to the
Escrow Outside Date (the date of any such event being the “Special Termination Date”), the Co-Issuers will
redeem the Notes at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) in ac-
cordance with this Section 3.09.
(b) Notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption will be delivered by the Co-Issuers no later
than one Business Day following the Special Termination Date, to the Co-Trustees and the Escrow Agent,
and will provide that the Notes shall be redeemed on a date that is no later than the fifth Business Day after
such notice is given by the Co-Issuers to the Co-Trustees and the Escrow Agent (the “Special Mandatory
Redemption Date”). No later than one Business Day following the Special Termination Date, the Co-Issuers
will also deliver or request the Co-Trustees to deliver on behalf of the Co-Issuers, and at the Co-Issuer’s ex-
pense, a notice of redemption in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of DTC to each Holder of the
Notes that the entire principal amount outstanding of the Notes shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory
Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.
(c) Upon the deposit of funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price in
respect of the Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date with the Paying Agent on
or before such date, the Notes will cease to bear interest and all rights under the Notes shall terminate. The
Co-Trustees will release to the Co-Issuers any Escrowed Property received from the Escrow Agent and re-
maining after redemption of the Notes and payment of the fees and expenses of the Co-Trustees, Escrow
Agent and each other agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Co-Issuers will not be required to effect a Spe-
cial Mandatory Redemption following the use of the Escrowed Property to fund a portion of the Arrange-
ment Transactions on the Completion Date.
(a) If a Co-Issuer becomes, or will become, obligated to pay, on the next date on which any
amount may be payable with respect to the Notes, any Additional Amounts as a result of a change in, or
-83-
amendment to, the laws or regulations of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or a change in any official writ-
ten position or the introduction of a new official written position regarding the application or interpretation
thereof (including as a result of a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment
is publicly announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (or if the applicable Relevant Taxing Juris-
diction first became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, after such later date), and
such obligations to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by reasonable measures available to the Co-
Issuers, the Co-Issuers may, at their option, redeem the Notes then outstanding, in whole but not in part,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (such notice to be provided not more than 90 days be-
fore the first date on which it would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment were then due), at
a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), and any Addi-
tional Amounts then due.
(b) Notice of the Co-Issuers’ intent to redeem the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall not
be effective until such time as the Co-Issuers deliver to the Co-Trustees (1) an Officer’s Certificate stating
that a Co-Issuer is or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts and such obligations to pay Addi-
tional Amounts cannot be avoided by reasonable measures available to it because of an amendment to or
change in law or regulation or position as described in this section; and (2) a written legal opinion of inde-
pendent tax counsel of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and
reasonably acceptable to the Co-Trustees to the effect that a Co-Issuer is or will become obligated to pay
such Additional Amounts or indemnification payments because of such amendment or change.
In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Co-Issuers are required to commence an offer to all
Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it will follow the procedures specified below.
The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commence-
ment and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law
(the “Offer Period”). Promptly after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Co-Issuers will
apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and, if required, other pari passu Indebted-
ness in accordance with Section 4.10(c). Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as
principal and interest payments are made.
If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment
Date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is
registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who ten-
der Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.
Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Co-Issuers will send or cause to be sent, by first class
mail (or with respect to Global Notes to the extent permitted or required by the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures,
send electronically), a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Co-Trustees. The notice will contain all in-
structions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The no-
tice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state:
(1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.11 and Section 4.10
hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open;
(2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;
(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;
(4) that, unless the Co-Issuers default in making such payment, any Note accepted for pay-
ment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;
-84-
(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect
to have Notes purchase in minimum denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof; provided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000;
(6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be
required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the
Notes completed, or transfer the Note by book-entry transfer, to the Co-Issuers, a depositary, if appointed
by the Co-Issuers, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days be-
fore the Purchase Date;
(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Co-Issuers, the depositary or
the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder de-
livered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note pur-
chased, or a withdrawal of the Note by book-entry transfer;
(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness surren-
dered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Co-Issuers will select the Notes and other pari
passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such
other pari passu Indebtedness tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed, and thereafter the Co-Trus-
tees will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to the Depositary’s Applicable Proce-
dures with respect to the Global Notes) based on the principal amount tendered (with, in each case, such

longer be relied on by the Holders due to one or more material errors; and (g) a Change of Control; pro-
vided, however, that no such report will be required to be furnished if the Parent Guarantor determines in
its good faith judgment that such event is not material to holders or the business, assets, operations, finan-
cial position or prospects of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;
provided, however, that the requirement to furnish any of the reports required pursuant to clauses (1), (2) and (3) of
this Section 4.03(a) may be satisfied by the posting of such reports within the time periods specified above on Intra-
links or any comparable password protected online data system requiring user identification and a confidentiality
acknowledgement (the “Secured System”). In addition to providing such information to the Co-Trustees, the Parent
Guarantor will be required to make promptly available to the Holders, prospective investors, market makers affili-
ated with any initial purchaser and securities analysts any password or other login information relating to the Se-
cured System, and shall make readily and promptly available on an “Investor Relations” page on its external website

edness (excluding any schedules and exhibits thereto), (d) such information will not be required to contain

required to the extent and in the form available to the Parent Guarantor (as determined by the Parent Guaran-
tor in good faith), (f) no such report will be required to include any trade secrets or other confidential infor-
mation that is competitively sensitive in the good faith and reasonable determination of the Parent Guaran-
tor, (g) no such report will be required to include earnings per share, adjusted EBIT, adjusted net income
information, free cash flow and any other information customarily excluded from reports for 144A-for-life
reporting companies (even if contained in the Offering Memorandum or filed as a result of IPL Plastics Inc.
being a company that currently reports on SEDAR), including any information that is not otherwise of the
type and form currently included in the Offering Memorandum; provided, however, that, if applicable, the
Parent Guarantor shall provide guarantor/non-guarantor financial data consistent with the information set
forth under the heading “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness, the Notes and this Offering—
The notes will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our non-Guarantor subsidiaries” in the Offer-
ing Memorandum.
(c) The Parent Guarantor will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to
the Co-Trustees and the Holders of the Notes if (i) the Completion Date has not occurred on or prior to the
end of any fiscal quarter or fiscal year ended after the Issue Date, IPL Plastics Inc. has filed or furnished
such reports via the SEDAR or successor filing system or (ii) the Parent Guarantor or any direct or indirect
parent of the Parent Guarantor has filed or furnished such reports via SEDAR or a successor filing system
and such reports are publicly available.
(d) For so long as the Parent Guarantor has designated certain of its Subsidiaries as Unre-
stricted Subsidiaries, unless the Parent Guarantor determines in its good faith judgment that such presenta-
tion is not material to the Holders, then the quarterly and annual financial information required to be pro-
vided by this covenant will include a reasonably detailed unaudited presentation in any “Management’s Dis-
cussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” or other comparable section, of the
financial condition and results of operations of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate
from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Guaran-
tor as a group.
(e) In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, the Parent Guarantor will agree
that, for so long as any Notes are not freely transferrable under the Securities Act, it will furnish to Holders
-87-
of the Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required
to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision).
(f) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the financial statements, financial information
and other information and documents required to be provided as described above may be, rather than those
of the Parent Guarantor, those of (a) IPL Plastics Inc. in respect of any fiscal period commencing prior to the
Completion Date, (b) any predecessor or successor of the Parent Guarantor (including IPL Plastics Inc.) or
any entity meeting the requirements of clause (c) or (d) of this paragraph, (c) any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary
of the Parent Guarantor that, together with its consolidated Subsidiaries, constitutes substantially all of the
assets of the Parent Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries (“Qualified Reporting Subsidiary”), (d) any
direct or indirect parent of the Parent Guarantor or (e) any combination of Parent Guarantor and any entity
meeting the requirements of clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this paragraph; provided that, if the financial infor-
mation so furnished relates to such Qualified Reporting Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or such direct or
indirect parent of the Parent Guarantor, the same is accompanied by consolidating information, which may
be posted to the website of the Parent Guarantor or Secured System, that explains in reasonable detail (in-
cluding select quantitative metrics) the differences between the information relating to such Qualified Re-
porting Subsidiary or such parent entity (as the case may be), on the one hand, and the information relating
to the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. For the
avoidance of doubt, the consolidating information referred to in the proviso in the preceding sentence need
not be audited.
(g) So long as Notes are outstanding, the Parent Guarantor will also use its commercially rea-
sonable efforts, consistent with its judgment as to what is prudent at the time, to participate in quarterly con-
ference calls which may be a single conference call together with investors and lenders holding other securi-
ties or Indebtedness of the Co-Issuers, the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor and/or Holdings
Guarantor, to discuss results of operations.
(h) Any Person who requests or accesses such financial information required by this covenant
will be required to represent to the Parent Guarantor (to the reasonable good faith satisfaction of the Parent
Guarantor) that:
(1) it is a Holder, a Beneficial Owner of the Notes, a prospective investor in the Notes or a
market maker or securities analyst;
(2) it will keep such information confidential and will not communicate the information to
any Person; and

ness.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure by the Parent Guarantor to comply with
any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of Section 6.01(3) hereof will not constitute an Event of Default there-
under until 120 days after the receipt of the written notice delivered thereunder.
(j) The delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Co-Trustees is for informational
purposes only and the Co-Trustees’ receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of
any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Parent Guaran-
tor’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Co-Trustees are entitled to rely ex-
clusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Co-Trustees shall have no duty to review or analyze reports, information
and documents delivered to it. Additionally, the Co-Trustees shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a con-
tinuing basis or otherwise, the Parent Guarantor’s compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or
other documents filed with SEDAR or any Secured System, or participate on any conference calls.

which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Co-Issuers or Guarantors are taking or propose to
take with respect thereto) and that to his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by
reason of which payments on account of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes is pro-
hibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Co-Issuers or Guarantors
are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.
(b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Co-Issuers will deliver to the Trustee,
within 15 Business Days after any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s
Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Co-Issuers or Guarantors are tak-
ing or propose to take with respect thereto.
The Parent Guarantor will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all ma-
terial taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate pro-
ceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the
Notes.
Each of the Co-Issuers and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants
or the performance of this Indenture; each of the Co-Issuers and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by

suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

withstanding any subsequent adjustments made in good faith to the Parent Guarantor’s financial statements
affecting Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated EBITDA of the Parent Guarantor for any period.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.07 shall not restrict the making of, or dividends

in comparable financings (as determined by the Parent Guarantor in good faith) and in the case of (ii) either
(x) the Parent Guarantor determines (in good faith) that such encumbrance or restriction will not affect the

ble to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets

disadvantageous to Holders of the Notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined by the
Parent Guarantor in good faith) and in the case of (ii) such encumbrances or restrictions apply only during

debtedness;

through (16) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, sup-
plements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Parent Guarantor,

ther the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor will be deemed to

Notes, the Consolidated First Lien Debt Ratio for the Parent Guarantor’s most recently ended Test
Period immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred, would

long as such Indebtedness would be Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to such Indebtedness;
(32) Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate

other Indebtedness of the Co-Issuers, the Parent Guarantor or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also con-
tractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical
terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment
to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.
(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebt-
edness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (33)
of Section 4.09(b), or is entitled to be incurred as Ratio Debt pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Parent Guaran-
tor will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a
portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09; provided that Indebtedness
-105-
under the ABL Credit Agreement outstanding on the Completion Date will be deemed to have been incurred in reli-
ance on Section 4.09(b)(1). The accrual of interest or Preferred Stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of
original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the
same terms, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the
payment of dividends on Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or
Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Preferred Stock or Dis-
qualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09 or Section 4.12 hereof; provided, in each such case, that the amount
thereof shall be included in Fixed Charges of the Parent Guarantor as accrued. For purposes of determining compli-
ance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent prin-
cipal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency
exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in
the case of revolving credit debt; provided, that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness de-
nominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated re-
striction 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 Indebtedness does not exceed (a) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced
plus (b) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums (including,
without limitation, tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including, without limitation, original issue dis-
count, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such refinancing (and with respect to Indebtedness
under Designated Revolving Commitments, including an amount equal to any unutilized Designated Revolving
Commitments being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased to the extent permanently termi-
nated at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sec-
tion 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may
incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange
rates or currency values. The principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of this covenant will
be determined after giving effect to the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any such other
Indebtedness.
(e) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:
(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with origi-
nal issue discount;
(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and
(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the speci-
fied Person, the lesser of:
(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and
(a) The Parent Guarantor and the Co-Issuers will not, and the Parent Guarantor will not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(1) the Parent Guarantor, the Co-Issuers (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be)
receives consideration (including, by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility
for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market
Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or
Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and
(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration received
in the Asset Sale (including, by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any
-106-
liabilities, contingent or otherwise) by the Parent Guarantor, the Co-Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary is
in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this Section 4.10(a)(2), each of the following will
be deemed to be cash:
(A) any liabilities (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the
Notes or any Note Guarantee), contingent or otherwise of the Parent Guarantor, a Co-Issuer or
such Restricted Subsidiary (as shown on the Parent Guarantor’s, a Co-Issuer’s or such Restricted
Subsidiary’s most recent consolidated balance sheet or in the notes thereto or, if incurred or ac-
crued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected
on the Parent Guarantor’s, a Co-Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet or in the
notes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance
sheet in the good faith determination of the Parent Guarantor) that are extinguished in connection
with the transactions relating to such Asset Sale or are assumed by the transferee of any such as-
sets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Parent Guarantor,
Co-Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies against further liability;
(B) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Parent Guar-
antor, the Co-Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 180 days
following the closing of such Asset Sale converted by the Parent Guarantor, the Co-Issuers or such
Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents;
(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Parent Guarantor, a Co-
Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value,
taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section
4.10(a)(2)(C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $15.00 million and
(y) 15% of LTM EBITDA at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration
(with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured,
at the Parent Guarantor’s option, either at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale or
at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) , net of any such
Designated Non-cash Consideration subsequently converted into cash and Cash equivalents;
(b) Within 540 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Parent Guar-
antor, the Co-Issuers or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary (as the case may be) may (subject, in the case of
clause (1) or (2) below, to the provisions on any Intercreditor Agreement then in effect, including, for the
avoidance of doubt, any Asset Sale involving both Fixed Asset Priority Collateral and ABL Priority Collat-
eral) apply an amount equal to such Net Proceeds:
(1) to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Asset Sale of Fixed Asset Priority Collateral,
to repay either, (i) Obligations under the Notes or (ii) First Lien Obligations (other than the Notes), and, if
the Indebtedness being repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce
commitments with respect thereto; provided that in the case of any repayment pursuant to clause (ii), the
Parent Guarantor, the Co-Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary shall equally and ratably redeem or repur-
chase the Notes with any First Lien Obligations repaid pursuant to clause (ii) repaid with such Net Proceeds
as described in Section 3.07 hereof or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth be-
low for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase a pro rata principal amount of the Notes at 100% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of re-
payment;
-107-
(2) to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Asset Sale of ABL Priority Collateral, to re-
pay either (i) Obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, (ii) Obligations under the Notes or (iii) First
Lien Obligations, other than the Notes, (and, if the Indebtedness being repaid under this clause (iii) is re-
volving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto);
provided that in the case of any repayment pursuant to clause (iii), the Parent Guarantor, the Co-Issuers or
such Restricted Subsidiary shall equally and ratably redeem or repurchase the Obligations under the Notes
with any First Lien Obligations repaid pursuant to clause (iii) with such Net Proceeds, as described in Sec-
tion 3.07 hereof or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale
Offer) to all Holders to purchase a pro rata principal amount of the Notes at 100% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repayment;
(3) if the assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale do not constitute Collateral, to repay
either (i) Obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, (ii) Obligations under the Notes or (iii) Obligations
under any other Senior Indebtedness (and, if the Indebtedness being repaid under this clause (iii) is revolv-
ing credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto); pro-
vided that in the case of any repayment pursuant to clause (iii), the Parent Guarantor, the Co-Issuers or such
Restricted Subsidiary shall equally and ratably redeem or repurchase the Obligations under the Notes with
any First Lien Obligations repaid pursuant to clause (iii) with such Net Proceeds as described in Section
3.07 hereof or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Of-
fer) to all Holders to purchase a pro rata principal amount of the Notes at 100% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repayment;
(4) to repay any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that is not a
Guarantor (other than Indebtedness owed to a Co-Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary);
(5) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, a Permitted
Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or be-
comes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor;
(6) to make (a) acquisitions of properties (including fee and leasehold interests) and other
assets, (b) a capital expenditure; and (c) other expenditures made in connection with the construction or
development of facilities operated or to be operated by the Parent Guarantor, a Co-Issuer or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that, in each of (a), (b) and (c) either (i) are or will be used or useful in a
Permitted Business or (ii) replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset
Sale;
(7) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under IFRS and that are
used or useful in a Permitted Business; provided that, to the extent that such Net Proceeds are derived
from an Asset Sale of Collateral, such other assets shall be added to the Collateral securing the Notes to
the extent required by this Indenture or any of the Security Documents; or
The Parent Guarantor or the Co-Issuers will be deemed to have complied with the provisions set forth in
clause (5), (6) or (7) of this Section 4.10(b) if, (i) within 540 days after the receipt of the Net Proceeds from the As-
set Sale that generated the Net Proceeds, the Parent Guarantor or the Co-Issuers (or the applicable Restricted Subsid-
iary) have entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to acquire all or substantially all of such
assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business or to make a capital expenditure or acquire such other
assets that are not classified as current assets under IFRS and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business and that
acquisition or capital expenditure is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 540-day period or (ii)
in the event such binding agreement described in the preceding clause (i) is canceled or terminated for any reason
before such Net Proceeds are applied, the Co-Issuers (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) enter into another
such binding commitment within 180 days of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment;
provided that if any second binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Pro-
ceeds are applied within 180 days of such second binding commitment, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Ex-
cess Proceeds.
-108-
Pending the final application of any such amount of Net Proceeds, the Parent Guarantor, the Co-Issuers or
any Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise
invest or utilize such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.
(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Sec-
tions 4.10(a) and (b) hereof will constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that any amount of proceeds offered
to Holders in accordance with Section 4.10(b)(1) or (2) or pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer (as defined below)
made at any time after the Asset Sale shall be deemed to have been applied as required and shall not be
deemed to be Excess Proceeds without regard to the extent to which such offer is accepted by the Holders.
When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $60.0 million, the Co-Issuers will make an Asset
Sale Offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of other First Lien Obligations (in the
case of an Asset Sale of Collateral) or other Senior Indebtedness (in the case of an Asset Sale of assets that
do not constitute Collateral) that in each case, contain provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture
with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with an amount equal to the proceeds of sales of assets
to purchase, prepay or redeem on a pro rata basis the maximum principal amount (or accreted value, if appli-
cable) of Notes, such other First Lien Obligations and such Senior Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on
the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection there-
with) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed with an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds. The offer
price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid inter-
est, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the right of
Holders of Notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date occurring on
or prior to the purchase date, and will be payable in cash. The Co-Issuers may satisfy the foregoing obliga-
tions with respect to such Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to
such Net Proceeds at any time prior to the expiration of the application period or by electing to make an As-
set Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds. If an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds exceeds the
amount paid in connection with the consummation of an Asset Sale Offer (any such excess amount, “Re-
tained Declined Proceeds”), the Co-Issuers may use those Retained Declined Proceeds for any purpose not
otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the other First Lien
Obligations or Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in con-
nection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Co-Issuers will select the
Notes and such other First Lien Obligations or Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, to be purchased on a pro
rata basis, based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed and thereafter the Co-Trus-
tees will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to DTC’s applicable procedures with
respect to the global notes) based on the principal amount tendered (with, in each case, such adjustments as
may be deemed appropriate by the Co-Issuers or the Co-Trustee, as applicable, so that only Notes in mini-
mum denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased; pro-
vided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000). Upon com-
pletion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.10, (i) to the extent that the applica-
tion of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Subsidiary that is not formed under the laws of
Canada or any province or territory thereof (a “Foreign Disposition”) would be (x) prohibited or delayed by
applicable local law, (y) restricted by applicable organizational documents or any agreement or (z) subject to
other organizational or administrative impediments if distributed by the Foreign Subsidiary to the Co-Issuers
(either directly or indirectly through the applicable Subsidiaries), an amount equal to the portion of such Net
Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.10; provided that if
at any time within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been
required, such distribution of any of such affected Net Proceeds would be permitted under the applicable local
law, the applicable organizational document or agreement or the applicable other impediment, an amount
equal to such amount of Net Proceeds so permitted to be distributed will be promptly applied (net of any
Taxes, costs or expenses that would be payable or reserved against if the Net Proceeds were actually distrib-
uted whether or not they are distributed) in compliance with this Section 4.10 and (ii) to the extent that the
Co-Issuers have determined in good faith that the distribution by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary of any or
all of the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition to the Co-Issuers (either directly or indirectly through the
applicable Subsidiaries) could have a material adverse tax consequence to the Co-Issuers or any of the Sub-
sidiaries of the Parent Guarantor, Affiliates or direct or indirect owners (which, for the avoidance of doubt,
-109-
includes, but is not limited to, the incurrence of any non-de minimis Tax liability (determined in good faith by
the Parent Guarantor), including as a result of a dividend or a withholding tax), an amount equal to such Net
Proceeds will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.10, provided that if at any time
within one year following the date on which the payment would otherwise have been required, such distribu-
tion of any of such affected Net Proceeds would not result in such an adverse tax consequence, an amount
equal to such amount of Net Proceeds will be promptly applied (net of any Taxes, costs or expenses that
would be payable or reserved against if the Net Proceeds were actually distributed whether or not they are
distributed) in compliance with this covenant. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a conse-
quence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of
Default. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to require any Subsidiary to
repatriate cash.
(e) The Co-Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act
and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applica-
ble in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the pro-
visions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.11 hereof or this Sec-
tion 4.10, the Co-Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached their obligations under Section 3.11 hereof or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such
compliance.
(a) The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or pur-
chase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, un-
derstanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor
(each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of the greater of
$10.0 million and 10% of LTM EBITDA, unless the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially
less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Parent Guarantor or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that
would have been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction or the execution of the
agreement providing for such transaction in arm’s length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate.
(b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will
not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof:
(1) (i) employment, consulting and severance arrangements between the Parent Guarantor
and the Restricted Subsidiaries (or any Parent Company) and their respective future, present or former of-

customary transaction with a Securitization Entity effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Transac-
tion, including in respect of Standard Securitization Undertakings, any disposition of Securitization Assets

ization Assets pursuant to a Securitization Repurchase Obligation (c) any merger, arrangement, consolida-
tion or amalgamation of a Co-Issuer and any Parent Company; provided that such merger, arrangement,
consolidation or amalgamation of a Co-Issuer is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture,
and (d) for the avoidance of doubt, any customary transaction between or among the Parent Guarantor

Guarantor in any fiscal year, and transaction fees to the foregoing Persons not to exceed in the aggregate
1.00% of the applicable gross transaction value and indemnities and other expenses pursuant to a Sponsor
Management Agreement or other arrangement with the foregoing Persons (including any transaction fee
payable in connection with the Arrangement Transactions), plus any unpaid management, monitoring,
transaction fees, indemnities and expenses accrued in any prior year to the extent such fee or expense is
otherwise permitted to be paid pursuant to this clause (7) in such prior year;

tion Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby;

permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors, to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume
or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens), securing Indebtedness of the Co-Issuers,
the Parent Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor’s Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors, if any, on any
property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits there-
from, unless in each case:

edness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any
Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any in-
crease in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of ac-
creted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional
Indebtedness with the same terms, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference, any fees,
underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in con-
nection therewith (including any refinancing thereof) and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstand-
ing solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property
securing Indebtedness.

Section 4.13 [Reserved].
(a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Co-
Issuers to repurchase all or any portion (equal to a minimum denomination of $2,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the
terms set forth in this Indenture; provided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum de-
nomination of $2,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Co-Issuers will offer a Change of Control Pay-
ment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and un-
paid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (such payment, the “Change of Con-
trol Payment,” and such date of purchase, the “Change of Control Payment Date”), subject to the rights of
Holders of Notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date occurring on
or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to
the extent the Co-Issuers have delivered notice to the Co-Trustees of their intention to redeem Notes pursu-
ant to Section 3.07 hereof, the Co-Issuers will mail (or with respect to global notes to the extent permitted or
required by DTC’s applicable procedures or regulations, send electronically) a notice to each Holder, with a
copy to the Co-Trustees, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and
stating:
(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all
Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;
(2) the purchase price and the Change of Control Payment Date, which date shall be no ear-
lier than 30 days and no later than 90 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent, pursuant to the pro-
cedures required by this Indenture;
(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;
(4) that, unless the Co-Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all
Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the
Change of Control Payment Date;
(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer
will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” at-
tached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address speci-
fied in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control
Payment Date;
(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not
later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment
Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Notes
delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes pur-
chased or a withdrawal of the Note by book-entry transfer;
(7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased option
must be equal to a minimum denomination of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;
(8) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the
Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control and describing each
such condition, and if applicable, stating that, in the Co-Issuers’ discretion, the Change of Control Payment
Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the notice is mailed or delivered) as
any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or that such purchase may not occur and such notice may be
-114-
rescinded in the event that the Co-Issuers shall determine that any or all of such conditions shall not have
been satisfied by the Change of Control Payment Date (as so delayed, if applicable); and
(9) the other instructions, as determined by the Co-Issuers, consistent with this Section 4.14,
that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased.
The Co-Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with
the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Co-Issuers will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.14 by
virtue of such compliance.
(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Co-Issuers will, to the extent lawful:
(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer;
(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in re-
spect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Co-Trustees the Notes properly accepted together
with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being
purchased by the Co-Issuers.
The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control
Payment for such Notes, and the Co-Trustees, as applicable, will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be
transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the
Notes surrendered, if any. The Co-Issuers will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as
soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
(c) The Co-Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in
compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 and purchases all Notes properly tendered
and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given to the Co-
Trustees pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable re-
demption price.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may
be made in advance of a Change of Control, or conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Con-
trol, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is
made.
(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Co-Issuers under or with respect to the Notes, or by or
on behalf of any Guarantor under or with respect to any Note Guarantee, are required to be made free and clear of
and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of the gov-
ernment of Canada or any province or territory of Canada, or by or on behalf of any other jurisdiction in which a Co-
Issuer or any Guarantor is organized, or is otherwise carrying on business in, or is otherwise resident for tax pur-
poses or any jurisdiction from or through which any payment is made or, in each case, any political subdivision or
any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless any
Person is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof.
-115-
(b) If any applicable withholding agent is required (by law or the interpretation or administration
thereof) to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in
respect of any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, the Co-Issuers and the Guaran-
tors (each, a “Payor” and collectively, the “Payors”) will be required to pay such additional amounts (“Additional
Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by a beneficial owner of Notes (including Addi-
tional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction (including any such withholding or deduction in respect of Ad-
ditional Amounts) will be equal to the amount that such beneficial owner of Notes would have received if such
Taxes (including Taxes on any Additional Amounts) had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the
foregoing obligations to pay Additional Amounts do not apply to:
(1) any Canadian Taxes imposed because the relevant holder or beneficial owner of Notes
does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”)) with
the Payor at the time of the payment, other than where the non-arm’s length relationship arises solely as a
result of the existence, exercise or enforcement of any Note or Note Guarantee;
(2) any Canadian Taxes to the extent such Taxes are assessed or imposed by reason of the
relevant holder or beneficial owner of the Note being a “specified shareholder” as defined in subsection
18(5) of the Tax Act of the Payor of such payment or not dealing at arm’s length (for purposes of the Tax
Act) with a “specified shareholder” of the Payor of such payment, other than where the holder or beneficial
owner of the Notes is a “specified shareholder,” or does not deal at arm’s length with a “specified share-
holder,” solely as a result of the existence, exercise or enforcement of any Note or Note Guarantee;
(3) any tax, assessment, withholding, or deduction required by Sections 1471 through 1474
of the Code (“FATCA”) (and any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not
materially more onerous to comply with) and any current or future Treasury regulations or rulings promul-
gated thereunder, any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing
FATCA, any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and any other jurisdiction to imple-
ment FATCA, or any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under FATCA;
(4) any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or for-
mer connection between the relevant holder or beneficial owner of Notes and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdic-
tion, including being organized or having its principal office therein, being or having been a citizen, resi-
dent or national thereof, or being or having been engaged in a trade or business therein or maintaining a
permanent establishment or other physical presence in or otherwise having a connection with the Relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction (other than a connection arising solely from the acquisition, ownership, holding or dis-
position of such Note or a beneficial interest therein, the enforcement of rights thereunder or under a Note
Guarantee, or the receipt of any payment in respect thereof or in respect of a Note Guarantee) (“Other Con-
nection Taxes”);
(5) any Taxes imposed to the extent the payment could have been made without such with-
holding or deduction if the beneficiary of the payment had presented the Note for payment within 30 days
after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly
provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the relevant holder or beneficial owner of Notes
would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-
day period);
(6) any Taxes to the extent imposed as a result of the holder’s or beneficial owner’s failure to
comply with any certification, documentation, information or other evidentiary requirement concerning
such holder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Taxing
Jurisdiction if such compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable
treaty as a precondition to any exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of,
such Taxes to which such holder or beneficial owner is entitled;
(7) any Taxes imposed with respect to any payment to a holder of a Note on behalf of a bene-
ficial owner, which holder is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of
such payment to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such
-116-
partnership or a beneficial owner would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts with respect to
such payment had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner received directly its beneficial or
distributive share of such payment;
(8) any estate, inheritance, gift, personal property, sales, use, excise, transfer or other similar
Tax imposed with respect to such payment;
(c) The applicable Payor, if it is the applicable withholding agent, will make any required
withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdic-
tion in accordance with applicable law. The Parent Guarantor will provide the Co-Trustees (and, upon re-
quest, a holder or beneficial owner of Notes) with official receipts or other documentation evidencing the
payment of the Taxes with respect to which Additional Amounts are paid.
(d) If a Payor is or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts under or with respect to
any payment made on the Notes or a Note Guarantee, at least 30 days prior to the date of such payment
(unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises shortly before or after the 30th day prior to such
date, in which case it shall be promptly thereafter), such Payor will deliver to the Co-Trustees an Officer’s
Certificate stating that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount so payable and such other in-
formation necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts to holders on the relevant pay-
ment date.
(e) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned in any context: (a) the payment of princi-
pal; (b) redemption prices or purchase prices in connection with a redemption or purchase of Notes; (c) in-
terest; or (d) any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the Notes or any Note Guarantee, such
reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this Section 4.15
to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
(f) The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors will indemnify and hold harmless a holder or benefi-
cial owner of Notes for the amount of any Tax payable pursuant to Regulation 803 of the Income Tax Reg-
ulations (Canada) that are levied or imposed and paid by such holder or beneficial owner of Notes as a re-
sult of payments made under or with respect to the Notes or any Note Guarantee, and with respect to any
reimbursements under this clause (other than (i) by reason of a transfer of the Notes to a Person resident in
Canada with whom the transferor does not deal at arm’s length for the purposes of the Tax Act, or (ii) to
the extent an Additional Amount is paid in respect of such Tax).
(g) The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors will pay any present or future stamp, court or docu-
mentary taxes or any other excise, property or similar Taxes, charges or levies that arise in any Relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, or registration of, or the receipt of any payments with re-
spect to, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, this Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation
thereof, or any such Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction in respect of the enforcement of the Notes, the Note
Guarantees, this Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation thereof, except any such Taxes
that are Other Connection Taxes, and we agree to indemnify the holders or beneficial owners of Notes for
any such amounts (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) paid by such holders or
beneficial owners of Notes.
(h) The obligations described under this Section 4.15 will survive any termination, defea-
sance or discharge of this Indenture and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any successor Person to the Co-
Issuers or any Guarantor and to any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction with respect to any such successor Per-
son.

Section 4.16 Future Guarantees.
(a) If, after the Completion Date, (a) any Restricted Subsidiary (subject to the Agreed Security Princi-
ples in the case of any Non-North American Restricted Subsidiary) guarantees the ABL Credit Agreement or Cer-
tain Capital Markets Debt of the Parent Guarantor, the Co-Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case, includ-
ing any newly formed, newly acquired or newly redesignated Restricted Subsidiary, but excluding any Excluded
Subsidiary) that is not then a Co-Issuer or a Guarantor guarantees or incurs any Indebtedness under the ABL Credit
Agreement or guarantees or incurs any capital markets Indebtedness of the Co-Issuers, the Parent Guarantor or any
of the Parent Guarantor’s Restricted Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $100.0 million
(“Certain Capital Markets Debt”) or (b) the Parent Guarantor otherwise elects to have any Restricted Subsidiary
become a Guarantor, then, in each such case, and subject to, in the case of the Non-North American Guarantors
and/or Non-North American Collateral, the Agreed Security Principles, the Parent Guarantor shall cause such Re-
stricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Co-Trustees a supplemental indenture to this Indenture pursuant to
which such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor under this Indenture and shall provide a Note Guarantee
by such Restricted Subsidiary on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture and applicable to
the other Guarantors and execute and deliver to the Co-Trustee joinders to the Security Documents or new Security
Documents together with any other filings and agreements required by the Security Documents to create or perfect
(or make opposable against third parties in the case of Quebec) the Liens (subject to, in respect of the Non-North
American Guarantors and/or Non-North American Collateral, the Agreed Security Principles and Legal Reserva-
tions) for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes in the Collateral of such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, in the
case of clause (a), such supplemental indenture, joinders to the Security Documents or new Security Documents to-
gether with any other such filings and agreements shall be executed and delivered to the Co-Trustees within 20
Business Days after the date that such Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement or the agreement governing
such Certain Capital Markets Debt has been guaranteed or incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary.
(b) Each Note Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be
guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Note Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Sub-
sidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affect-
ing the rights of creditors generally and any other limitations customary for such guarantees in the jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization of the relevant Guarantor.
(c) Each Note Guarantee shall be released upon the terms and in accordance with the provisions of
Article 10.
(a) After the Completion Date, the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor may designate any Re-
stricted Subsidiary (other than either of the Co-Issuers) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would
not cause a Default. If such Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair
Market Value of all outstanding Investments in such Restricted Subsidiary by the Parent Guarantor and its Re-
stricted Subsidiaries will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the
amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or under one or more clauses of the definition
of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Parent Guarantor. That designation will only be permitted if the
Investment would be permitted at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary.
(b) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evi-
denced to the Co-Trustees by filing with the Co-Trustees a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Parent Guarantor giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation
complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof.
(c) The Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor may at any time designate any Unrestricted Sub-
sidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor of any outstanding Indebtedness of
such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted by
-118-
Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the ap-
plicable reference period; and (2) no Event of Default under clause (2) or solely with respect to the Parent Guaran-
tor, clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 would be in existence following such designation. Any designation of an Unre-
stricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Co-Trustees by delivery to the Co-Trustees
of an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permit-
ted by Section 4.09 hereof.
(1) the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s and BBB- or better by S&P (or, if either
such entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Parent Guarantor, the equiva-
lent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”
registered under Section 15E of the Exchange Act selected by the Parent Guarantor as a replacement
agency); and
then, beginning on that day and continuing at all times thereafter and subject to the provisions of Section 4.19(c),
Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 4.11 hereof (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) will be suspended.
(b) During any period that the Suspended Covenants have been suspended, the Parent Guaran-
tor’s Board of Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to
Section 4.17 hereof unless the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors would have been able, under the terms
of this Indenture, to designate such Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries if the Suspended Covenants
were not suspended. Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, the failure to com-
ply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (including any action taken or omitted to be
taken with respect thereto) will not give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the rating assigned to the Notes by either such rating
agency subsequently declines to below Baa3 or BBB-, respectively, the Suspended Covenants will be rein-
stituted as of and from the date of such rating decline (any such date, a “Reversion Date”). The period of
time between the suspension of covenants as set forth above and the Reversion Date is referred to as the
“Suspension Period.” All Indebtedness incurred and Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued during the
Suspension Period will be deemed to have been incurred or issued in reliance on the exception provided by
Section 4.09(b)(2) Calculations under the reinstated Section 4.07 will be made as if Section 4.07 had been in
effect prior to but not during the Suspension Period. For purposes of determining compliance with Section
4.10 hereof, the Excess Proceeds from all Asset Sales not applied in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof
will be deemed to be reset to zero after the Reversion Date. In addition, for purposes of Section 4.11 hereof,
all agreements and arrangements entered into by the Parent Guarantor and any Restricted Subsidiary with an
Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date will be deemed
to have been entered pursuant to Section 4.11(b)(12), and for purposes of Section 4.08 hereof, all contracts
entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restrictions
contemplated by such covenant will be deemed to have been entered pursuant to Section 4.08(b)(1) hereof.
(d) In addition, this Indenture will also permit, without causing a Default or Event of Default,
the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor to honor, comply with or other-
wise perform any contractual commitments to take actions following a Reversion Date; provided that such
contractual commitments were entered into during the Suspension Period and not in contemplation of a re-
version of the Suspended Covenants.
-119-
(e) The Co-Issuers shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Co-Trustees indicating the oc-
currence of any Suspension Period or Reversion Date. The Co-Trustees shall have no obligation to inde-
pendently determine or verify if such events have occurred or notify the Holders of Notes of any Suspension
Period or Reversion Date. The Co-Trustees may provide a copy of such Officer’s Certificate to any Holder
of Notes upon request.
(f) There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever achieve an investment grade rating or
that any such rating will be maintained.
Neither Holdings Guarantor nor Holdings GP will engage in any operating or business activities; provided that
the following and any activities incidental thereto shall be permitted in any event: (i) its, direct or indirect, owner-
ship of the Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and activities incidental thereto, including
payment of dividends and other amounts in respect of its Equity Interests (including, for the avoidance of doubt,

penses relating to such maintenance), (iii) the performance of its obligations with respect to the ABL Financing
Documents, the Security Documents, any other documents governing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred by
Holdings Guarantor, the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary pursuant to the Indenture or any documents governing any
Indebtedness permitted to be incurred by Holdings GP pursuant to this section, (iv) any public offering of its com-
mon stock or any other issuance or sale of its Equity Interests or any transaction permitted under the Indenture, (v)
the issuance of equity securities, payment of dividends, making contributions to the capital of the Parent Guarantor

permitted under the Indenture and guaranteeing the obligations of its subsidiaries permitted hereunder in each case
solely to the extent not prohibited hereunder, (vi) participating in tax, accounting and other administrative matters as
a member of the combined group of Holdings Guarantor, Holdings GP, Parent Guarantor and/or its Subsidiaries,
(vii) holding any cash, cash equivalents or intercompany Indebtedness, (viii) providing indemnification to any fu-
ture, present or former officers and directors, (ix) transactions in connection with a Permitted Reorganization or an
IPO Reorganization Transaction and (x) any activities (including holding any property (but not operating any prop-
erty) incidental to any of the foregoing. Neither Holdings Guarantor nor Holdings GP, shall incur any Liens on Eq-
uity Interests of the Parent Guarantor, other than non-consensual Liens and those for the benefit of holders of Indebt-
edness permitted to be incurred by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the Inden-
ture which Indebtedness (and any guarantees thereof) is subject at all times to an applicable Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, neither Holdings Guarantor nor Holdings GP shall merge, amalgamate, dissolve, liqui-
date, consolidate with or into another Person, or dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions)
all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to or in favor of any Person other than
in accordance with the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would result therefrom, Holdings Guarantor and Holdings GP may merge, amalgamate, dissolve, liq-
uidate or consolidate with any other Person; provided that (i) each of Holdings Guarantor and Holdings GP, as appli-
cable, shall be the continuing or surviving Person or (ii) if the Person formed by or surviving any such merger, amal-
gamation or consolidation is not Holdings Guarantor or Holdings GP, as applicable, or is not a Person into which
Holdings Guarantor or Holdings GP, as applicable, has been liquidated or dissolved (any such Person, the “Succes-
sor Entity”), (A) the Successor Entity shall be an entity incorporated or organized or existing under the laws any
Covered Jurisdiction, (B) the Successor Entity shall expressly assume all the obligations of Holdings Guarantor or
Holdings GP, as applicable under the Indenture and the other Security Documents to which Holdings Guarantor or

Guarantor shall have delivered to the Co-Trustees and the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that such
merger, amalgamation, dissolution, liquidation or consolidation and such supplement, joinder or accession comply
with the Indenture; provided, further, that if the foregoing are satisfied, the Successor Entity will succeed to, and be
substituted for, Holdings Guarantor or Holdings GP, as applicable under the Indenture.
(a) From and after the Completion Date, and subject to certain limitations and exceptions as
set forth in this Indenture and any Security Documents (including the Agreed Security Principles), if (a) any
Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor or (b) any Guarantor acquires any property or rights which are of a type
-120-
constituting Collateral under any Security Document (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded
Assets or assets not required to be Collateral pursuant to this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the
Security Documents), it will be required to execute and deliver such security instruments, financing state-
ments and such certificates as are required under this Indenture or any Security Document to vest in the Col-
lateral Agent a Lien (subject to Permitted Liens and the Intercreditor Agreements) in such after-acquired col-
lateral (or all of its assets, except Excluded Assets, in the case of a new Guarantor) such that the Collateral
Agent would have (i) a first priority perfected (or opposable against third parties in the case of Quebec) Lien
(subject to Permitted Liens, the Intercreditor Agreements and, in respect of the Non-North American Guar-
antors and/or Non-North American Collateral, the Agreed Security Principles, Legal Reservations and Per-
fection Requirements)) upon any such Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, as security for the Notes Obligations
and (ii) a second priority perfected (or opposable against third parties in the case of Quebec) Lien (subject to
Permitted Liens and the Intercreditor Agreements) upon any such ABL Priority Collateral, as security for the

North American Collateral, the Agreed Security Principles.
(b) If (i) any Material Real Property is acquired by any Co-Issuer or any Guarantor after the
Completion Date or (ii) any Person that becomes a Guarantor after the Completion Date owns any Material
Real Property, in each case, not constituting Excluded Assets (and, solely with respect to any Non-North
American Guarantor that acquires any Material Real Property, subject to the Agreed Security Principles), the
relevant Co-Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) (x) shall, within 90 days after acquisition of such Material
Real Property, provide written notice to the Collateral Agent of its intent to pledge such Material Real Prop-
erty and (y) deliver to the Collateral Agent (A) counterparts of a Mortgage with respect to each Mortgaged
Property duly executed and delivered by the applicable Co-Issuer and Guarantor and corresponding UCC

the Parent Guarantor is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any rea-
son to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms hereof), or any Significant Subsidi-
ary of the Parent Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of such Significant Subsidiary of the Parent
Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee and any such Default continues for
10 days;
(9) any of the Security Documents shall for any reason not be or shall cease to be in full
force and effect or is declared to be null and void (other than pursuant to the terms thereof or as a result of
-125-
the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain control over possessory collateral actually received by it),
any Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent in any material portion of the Collateral purported to be covered
by any of the Security Documents shall be invalid or not perfected (or not opposable against third parties in
the case of Quebec) except as expressly permitted by the terms hereof (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, in respect of the Non-North American Guarantors and/or Non-North American Collateral, the
Agreed Security Principles) or thereof (other than the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain control
over possessory collateral actually received by it), any lien subordination provision in respect of material
Collateral shall be determined to be invalid or the Parent Guarantor, a Co-Issuer or any other Guarantor
terminates or repudiates in writing or rescinds any Security Document executed by it or any of its obliga-
tions thereunder.
However, a Default under clause (3), (4) or (5) of this Section 6.01 will not constitute an Event of Default
until the Co-Trustees or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Parent
Guarantor of the Default and, with respect to clauses (3) and (5), the Parent Guarantor does not cure such Default
within the time specified in clause (3) or (5) of this Section 6.01 after receipt of such notice; provided that a notice
of Default may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders, more than two
years prior to such notice of Default.
In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to either
the Parent Guarantor, any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or
any group of Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor that, taken together, would constitute a Sig-
nificant Subsidiary, all outstanding principal of the Notes and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon will become
due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continu-
ing, the Co-Trustees or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
notice to the Parent Guarantor (with a copy to the Co-Trustees if given by Holders of Notes) may declare all out-
standing principal of the Notes and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) to be due and payable immediately.
Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may direct the Co-Trustees in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee and/or Co-Trustee may withhold
from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding no-
tice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, premium on, if
any, and interest, if any.
In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing as a result of the acceleration of any Indebtedness described in Section 6.01(4) hereof (excluding any re-
sulting payment default under this Indenture or the Notes), the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be auto-
matically annulled if the Holders of all Indebtedness described in Section 6.01(4) hereof have rescinded the declara-
tion of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness within 30 days of the date of such declaration of acceleration of
the Notes, and if the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction, and all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal or interest on the
Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived and all amounts
owing to the Co-Trustees have been paid.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Co-Trustees may pursue any available remedy to col-
lect the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Co-Trustees may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not pro-
duce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Co-Trustees or any Holder of a Note in exercising
any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of
or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
-126-
Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to
the Co-Trustees may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing De-
fault or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture, if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01
hereof; (except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of
the acceleration of the Notes).
If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another de-
fault (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report
or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default that resulted solely because of that Ini-
tial Default will also be cured without any further action. Any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply
with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.03 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any
other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by such
covenant or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period
specified in this Indenture. Any time period in this Indenture to cure any actual or alleged Default or Event of De-
fault may be extended or stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exer-
cising any remedy available to the Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred
on the Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent. However, the Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent,
as applicable, determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the
Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in personal liability.
In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Co-Trustees will be under no obligation to exer-
cise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders of Notes unless such
Holders have offered to the Co-Trustees indemnity or security satisfactory to the Co-Trustees against any loss, lia-
bility or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any,
when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guar-
antee unless:
(1) such Holder has previously given the Co-Trustees written notice that an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing;
(2) Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
make a written request to the Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to pursue the remedy;
(3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Co-Trustees or the Collat-
eral Agent, as applicable, security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Co-Trustees or the Collateral
Agent, as applicable, against any loss, liability or expense;
(4) the Trustee, Co-Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, does not comply with such
request within 60 days after receipt of the notice, request and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(5) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes do not give the Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, a direction in-
consistent with such request.
-127-
A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to ob-
tain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment
of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or pro-
vided for in the Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer), or to bring
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, each of the Co-
Trustees is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Co-Issuers
or any Guarantor for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the
Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be suffi-
cient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of each of the Co-Trustees, its agents and counsel.
If either of the Co-Trustees or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy un-
der this Indenture and such proceeding has been determined or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined
adversely to such Co-Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such
proceedings or any other proceedings, the Co-Issuers, any Guarantor, the Co-Trustees and the Holders shall be re-
stored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies hereunder
of the Co-Trustees and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Each of the Co-Trustees is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of such Co-Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable com-
pensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Co-Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the
Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the
Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to such Co-Trustee, and in the event that such Co-Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to such Co-Trustee any amount due to it
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Co-Trustee, its agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due such Co-Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due such Co-Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any rea-
son, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends,
money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liq-
uidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Co-Trustees to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or proposal affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder,
or to authorize the Co-Trustees to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
-128-
Section 6.11 Priorities.
Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, if a Co-Trustee collects any money pursuant to
this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
First: to each of the Co-Trustees and the Collateral Agent, its agents and attorneys for amounts
due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred,
and all advances made, by the Co-Trustees and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if
any, and interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due
and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, respectively; and
Third: to the Co-Issuers or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
The Co-Trustees, upon written notice to the Co-Issuers, may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.11.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against a Co-Trus-
tee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Co-Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a
suit by the Co-Trustees, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more
than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.
ARTICLE 7
CO-TRUSTEES
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Co-Trustees will exer-
cise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in
its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such per-
son’s own affairs.
(1) the duties of the Co-Trustees will be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Indenture and the Co-Trustees need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Inden-
ture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Co-
Trustees; and
(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, each of the Co-Trustees may conclusively rely, as
to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Co-Trustees and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the
Co-Trustees will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the re-
quirements of this Indenture (however the Co-Trustees shall have no obligation to verify the mathematical
calculations contained therein).
(c) Neither Co-Trustee may be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
-129-
(1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;
(2) a Co-Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Respon-
sible Officer, unless it is proved that such Co-Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(3) a Co-Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.
(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any
way relates to the Co-Trustees is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01.
(e) No provision of this Indenture will require a Co-Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
incur any liability. The Co-Trustees will be under no obligation to exercise any of their rights or powers un-
der this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders, unless such Holder has offered to the Co-Trus-
tees reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to them against any loss, liability or expense that might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
(f) The Co-Trustees will not be liable for interest on any money received by them except as
the Co-Trustees may agree in writing with the Co-Issuers. Money held in trust by the Co-Trustees need not
be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Co-Trustees shall have no obliga-
tion to invest funds received by them pursuant to this Indenture.
(a) The Co-Trustees may conclusively rely upon any document (whether in its original or fac-
simile form) believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The
Co-Trustees need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.
(b) Before the Co-Trustees act or refrain from acting, they may require an Officer’s Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Co-Trustees will not be liable for any action they take or omit to take
in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Co-Trustees may consult
with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authoriza-
tion and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by them hereunder in
good faith and in reliance thereon.
(c) The Co-Trustees may act through their attorneys, agents and other experts or assistants and
will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any such person appointed with due care.
(d) The Co-Trustees will not be liable for any action they take or omit to take in good faith
that they believe to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon them by this Indenture.
(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or
notice from the Co-Issuers will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of each Co-Issuer.
(f) The Co-Trustees will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested
in them by this Indenture or the Notes at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders
have offered to the Co-Trustees reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to the Co-Trustees against the
losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by them in compliance with such request or direction.
(g) The Co-Trustees shall not be required to give any note, bond or surety in respect of the
trusts and powers under this Indenture.
(h) The Co-Trustees may request that the Co-Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting
forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursu-
-130-
ant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Of-
ficer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in such certificate previously delivered
and not superseded.
(i) Except with respect to receipt of payments of principal and interest on the Notes payable
by the Co-Issuers pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof and any Default or Event of Default information contained
in the Officer’s Certificate delivered to them pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof, the Co-Trustees shall have no
duty to monitor the Co-Issuers’ or the Guarantors’ compliance with or the breach of any representation, war-
ranty or covenant made in this Indenture.
(j) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Co-Trustees described in Section
4.03 hereof is for informational purposes only and the Co-Trustees’ receipt of such shall not constitute con-
structive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein,
including the Co-Issuers’ or the Guarantors’ compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which
the Co-Trustees are entitled to rely conclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Co-Trustees are under no
duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure compliance with the provision of this In-
denture or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein.
(k) In no event shall the Co-Trustees be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespec-
tive of whether the Co-Trustees have been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of
the form of action.
(l) The Co-Trustees shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of each Co-Trustee has received written notice of any event which is in fact
such a default at the Corporate Trust Office of such Co-Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and
this Indenture.
(m) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Co-Trustees, in-
cluding, without limitation, their right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the
Co-Trustees in each of their capacities hereunder, including, without limitation, in Ankura Trust Company,
LLC’s capacity as Collateral Agent, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder,
including the Collateral Agent.
(n) Neither the Co-Trustees nor the Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or the
Private Placement Legend or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note
(including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any
Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are
expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to ex-
amine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
(o) The Trustee and the Co-Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or mat-
ter unless such fact or matter is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and the Co-Trustee.
(p) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture or the Notes the Co-Trustees shall deem
it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder
or thereunder, the Trustee or the Co-Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in
the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate.
(q) The permissive rights of the Trustee and the Co-Trustee enumerated herein and under the
Security Documents shall not be construed as duties of the Trustee or the Co-Trustee.
-131-
Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.
Each of the Co-Trustees in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with the Co-Issuers or any Affiliate of the Co-Issuers with the same rights it would have if it
were not a Co-Trustee. However, in the event that either Co-Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as defined in
the TIA it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and
duties. The Co-Trustees are also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.
The Co-Trustees will not be responsible for and make no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture or the Notes, they shall not be accountable for the Co-Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes or
any money paid to the Co-Issuers or upon the Co-Issuers’ direction under any provision of this Indenture, they will
not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and
they will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document
in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than their certificate of authentication.
If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Co-Trustees, the Co-Trus-
tees will send to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the Co-Trustees
obtain knowledge thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium
on, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Co-Trustees may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of each
Co-Trustee’s Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the
Holders of the Notes.
(a) The Co-Issuers will pay to the Co-Trustees from time to time such compensation as is
agreed to in writing by the Co-Issuers and the Co-Trustees for their acceptance of this Indenture and services
hereunder. The Co-Trustees’ compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of
an express trust. The Co-Issuers will reimburse the Co-Trustees promptly upon request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by them in addition to the compensa-
tion for their services except for any such disbursements, advance or expense as shall have been caused by
the requesting Trustee’s or Co-Trustee’s, as the case may be, negligence or willful misconduct, as deter-
mined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Such expenses will include the reasonable out -
of-pocket compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Co-Trustees’ agents, experts and counsel. Any
amount due and owing pursuant to the Co-Trustees’ fee that remains unpaid by the Co-Issuers 30 days after
request for payment will bear interest from the expiration of such period at a rate per annum equal to the
then current rate charged by the Co-Trustees, payable by the Co-Issuers on demand by the Co-Trustees.
(b) The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors will indemnify on a joint and several basis each of the
Co-Trustees (including its officers, directors, employees and agents) and save them harmless against all ac-
tions, proceedings, liability, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable expert consultant
and legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) whatsoever arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of their duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable costs and
expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07)
and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors, any Holder or
any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their respective pow-
ers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its neg-
ligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Co-Issuers nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made
without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
-132-
(c) The obligations of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Co-Trustees.
(d) To secure the Co-Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07,
the Co-Trustees will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Co-
Trustees, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, particular Notes.
Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the
Co-Trustees. The Co-Trustees’ respective rights to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section
7.07 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Co-Issuers.
(e) Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Co-Trustees under applicable law,
when the Co-Trustees incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in clauses (6) and
(7) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and
expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bank-
ruptcy Law.
(b) A Co-Trustee may resign at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Co-Issuers
and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Co-Issuers. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Co-Trustees upon 30 days written
notice to such Co-Trustee and the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers may remove a Co-Trustee if:
(2) such Co-Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered
with respect to such Co-Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of such Co-Trustee or its property; or
(c) If a Co-Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Co-Trustee for
any reason, the Co-Issuers will promptly appoint a successor Co-Trustee. Within one year after the succes-
sor Co-Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may appoint a successor Co-Trustee to replace the successor Co-Trustee appointed by the Co-Issuers.
(d) If a successor Co-Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Co-Trustee
resigns or is removed, the Co-Issuers, the retiring Co-Trustee, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, in each case at the expense of the Co-Issuers, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Co-Trustee.
(e) If a Co-Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six
months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdic-
tion for the removal of such Co-Trustee and the appointment of a successor Co-Trustee.
(f) A successor Co-Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Co-Trustee and to the Co-Issuers. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Co-Trustee will be-
come effective, and the successor Co-Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Co-Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Co-Trustee will send a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring
-133-
Co-Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Co-Trustee to the successor Co-Trustee; pro-
vided all sums owing to the Co-Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in
Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of a Co-Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Co-
Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retir-
ing Co-Trustee.
If a Co-Trustee consolidates, merges, amalgamates or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its
corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the succes-
sor Co-Trustee.
There will at all times be a Co-Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or national banking association orga-
nized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus as required by Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act .
For so long as required by the provisions of (a) the Canada Business Corporations Act and the regulations
thereunder as amended or re-enacted from time to time, and (b) the provisions of any other applicable statute of
Canada or any province thereof, in each case, relating to trust indentures and the rights, duties and obligations of
trustees under trust indentures and of corporations issuing debt obligations under trust indentures to the extent that
such provisions are at such time in force and applicable to this Indenture, and in the absence of an exemption or dis-
pensation from the requirements thereof, there shall be a Canadian trustee under this Indenture. The Canadian trus-
tee shall at all times be a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada or a province thereof and authorized to
carry on the business of a trust company. If at any time the Canadian trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with this Section 7.10, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article 7.
By their acceptance of the Notes, the Holders hereby authorize and direct the Co-Trustees and the Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreements and any other Security Documents in
which either of the Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is named as a party, including any Security Doc-
uments executed after the Issue Date. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Co-Trus-
tees and the Collateral Agent are not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or en-
forceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering
into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under, the Intercreditor Agreements or any other Security Documents,
each of the Co-Trustees and the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protec-
tions granted to it under this Indenture (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other
agreement or agreements).
The Co-Trustees shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of
information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Co-Trustees, in their sole judgment, determine that such act
might cause them to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financings or
economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Co-Trustees, in their sole judgment, de-
termine at any time that their acting under this Indenture has resulted in their being in non-compliance with any ap-
plicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing or economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline,
then they shall have the right to resign on 10 days’ written notice to the Co-Issuers, provided the (i) the Co-Trustees’
written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance, and (ii) if such circumstances are rectified
to the Co-Trustees’ satisfaction within such 10-day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

Section 7.13 Limitation on Duty of Co-Trustees in Respect of Collateral; Indemnification.
(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Co-Trustees shall have
no duty as to any Collateral in their possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or
bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertain-
ing thereto and the Co-Trustees 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 making opposable against third parties in the case of Quebec) or maintaining the perfection (or opposa-
bility against third parties in the case of Quebec) of any security interest or hypothec in the Collateral. The
Co-Trustees shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in their pos-
session if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which a Co-Trustee 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
Co-Trustees in good faith.
(b) Neither Co-Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence, genu-
ineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection (or opposability against third parties in
the case of Quebec), priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by op-
eration 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 such Co-Trus-
tee and Collateral Agent, as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, for the validity
or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title
of the Co-Issuers to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assess-
ments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Co-Trustees
shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this In-
denture or the Security Documents by the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors, the ABL Collateral Agent, or any
other ABL Secured Parties or Additional First Lien Secured Parties.
The rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred and imposed upon the trustee under the Indenture are
conferred and imposed upon and shall be exercised and performed by the Trustee and the Co-Trustee individually ex-
cept where explicitly noted that certain acts be performed jointly by both the Trustee and the Co-Trustee or specifically
by the Trustee or the Co-Trustee, and neither the Trustee nor the Co-Trustee shall be liable or responsible for the acts or
omissions of the other trustee.
ARTICLE 8
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
The Co-Issuers may at any time, at the option of the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors evidenced by
resolutions set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all out-
standing Notes (including the Note Guarantees) upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article
8.
Upon the Co-Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the
Co-Issuers and each of the Guarantors, if any, will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (includ-
ing the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).
For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors, if any, will be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees),
-135-
which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sec-
tions of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under
such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Co-Trustees, on demand of and at the expense of the
Parent Guarantor, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions
which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder.
(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal
of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust re-
ferred to in Section 8.04 hereof;
(2) the Co-Issuers’ obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 4.02
hereof;
(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Co-Trustees under this Indenture,
and the Co-Issuers’ and the Guarantors’, if any, obligations in connection therewith (including without lim-
itation, those contained in Article 7 hereof); and
Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Co-Issuers may exercise its option under this Section 8.02
notwithstanding the prior exercise of their option under Section 8.03 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the con-
trary contained herein, the Co-Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall survive a Legal De-
feasance.
Upon the Co-Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the
Co-Issuers and the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be
released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09,
4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.16 and 4.17 hereof and clause (3) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding
Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant De-
feasance”), the Note Guarantees will be released pursuant to Section 10.05 hereof and the Notes and Note Guaran-
tees will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or
act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be
deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes and the Note Guarantees
will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with
respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors, if any, may omit to com-
ply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any
reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply
will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the
Co-Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfac-
tion of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) (to the extent relating to the covenants that
are subject to Covenant Defeasance), (4), (5), (8) and (9) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. Notwith-
standing anything to the contrary contained herein, the Co-Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section
7.07 shall survive a Covenant Defeasance.
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof:
(1) the Co-Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or a Co-Trustee for the benefit
of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount, non-callable Government Securities, the
scheduled payments of principal of and interest thereon will be in an amount, or a combination thereof in
-136-
amounts, as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a na-
tionally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the
principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the outstanding notes to the stated date for pay-
ment thereof or to the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and all interest, if any, accrued to
such dates, and the Co-Issuers must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for
payment or to a particular redemption date;
(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Co-Issuers must deliver to the
Co-Trustees an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Co-Trustees confirming that: (a) the Co-
Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or (b)
since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either
case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the out-
standing Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of
such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Co-Issuers must deliver to the
Co-Trustees an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Co-Trustees confirming that the Holders of
the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a re-
sult of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same time, as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not
occurred;
(4) in the case of Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, the Co-Issuers must deliver to
the Co-Trustees an opinion of counsel in Canada reasonably acceptable to the Co-Trustees confirming that
the beneficial owners of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal,
provincial or territorial income or withholding tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance or Cove-
nant Defeasance, and will be subject to Canadian federal, provincial and territorial income and withholding
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time, as would have been the case if such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(5) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit
(other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such de-
posit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure
such borrowings);
(6) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agree-
ments governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which either of the Co-
Issuers or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Parent Guarantor or any of the Guarantors is
bound;
(7) the Co-Issuers must deliver to the Co-Trustees an Officer’s Certificate stating that the
deposit was not made by the Co-Issuers with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other
creditors of the Co-Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of
the Co-Issuers or others; and
(8) Co-Issuers must deliver to the Co-Trustees an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of
counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defea-
sance have been complied with.
The Collateral will be released from the Lien securing the Notes, as provided in Section 12.02 hereof, upon a
defeasance in accordance with the provisions described above.
-137-
Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions.
Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Co-Trustees pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be
held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including either of the Co-Issuers acting as Paying Agent) as
the Co-Trustees may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect
of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law.
The Co-Issuers will pay and indemnify the Co-Trustees against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the
principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Co-Trustees will deliver or pay to the Co-
Issuers from time to time upon the written request of the Co-Issuers any money or non-callable Government Securi-
ties held by them as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of inde-
pendent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Co-Trustees (which may be
the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required
to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
Any money deposited with the Co-Trustees or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Co-Issuers, in trust for
the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for
two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the
Co-Issuers on their request or (if then held by the Co-Issuers) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of
such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Co-Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Co-
Trustees or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Co-Issuers as trustee thereof,
will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Co-Trustees or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such repayment, may at the expense of the Co-Issuers cause to be published once, in The New York Times and
The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance
of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Co-Issuers.
If the Co-Trustees or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securi-
ties in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Co-Issuers’
and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and re-
instated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Co-Trustees
or Paying Agent are permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case
may be; provided, however, that, if the Co-Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest,
if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of their obligations, the Co-Issuers will be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Co-Trustees or Paying Agent.
-138-
ARTICLE 9
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER
Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Co-Issuers, the Guar-
antors, the Co-Trustees and the Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture (including the form of
agreements attached thereto as exhibits), the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents (including the
form of agreements attached thereto as exhibits):
(1) to (a) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect, error or inconsistency contained in
this Indenture or reduce minimum denominations or (b) make such other provisions in regard to matters or
questions arising under this Indenture, that shall not materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Holders of the Notes, as the Board of Directors of Parent Guarantor may deem necessary or desirable;
(2) to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes or to alter
the provisions of this Indenture relating to the form of the Notes (including related definitions);
(3) to provide for the assumption of the Co-Issuers’ or any Guarantor’s obligations to Hold-
ers of Notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger, arrangement, amalgamation or consolidation or
sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Co-Issu-
ers’ or such Guarantor’s assets, as applicable;
(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of
Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any Holder;
(5) at the Co-Issuers’ election, to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to
effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable or re-
quired;
(6) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Doc-
uments to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum;
(7) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes, as determined in good faith by the Co-
Issuer, in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture;
(8) to add an obligor or a Guarantor under this Indenture or allow any Guarantor to execute a
supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture;
(9) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a
successor Trustee or a successor Co-Trustee to provide for the accession by the Trustee or Co-Trustee to
any notes documentation;
(10) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and
legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance
and administration of Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended
would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities
law and (ii) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes in any mate-
rial respect;
(11) to comply with the rules and procedures of any applicable securities depositary
(12) to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant any other Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties, as additional security for the payment and performance of all
-139-
or any portion of the Obligations in respect of the Notes, in any property or assets, including any which are
required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which a Lien is required to be granted to or for
the benefit of the Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any of the Security Docu-
ments or otherwise;
(13) to release Collateral from the Lien of this Indenture and the Security Documents when
permitted or required by the Security Documents or this Indenture; and
(14) to add ABL Obligations, Additional First Lien Obligations or Permitted Junior Lien Obli-
gations and the Holders thereof and/or any representatives thereof and to add any additional Restricted Sub-
sidiary that is a borrower, issuer or guarantor, as applicable, for any such obligations to the Intercreditor
Agreements.
No provisions of the Escrow Agreement (including, without limitation, those relating to the release of the
Escrowed Property) may be amended or waived in a manner that would materially adversely affect the Holders (as
determined in good faith by the Co-Issuers) without the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Holder, the Co-Issuers may
amend the Escrow Agreement to conform the text thereof to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section in
the Offering Memorandum. In executing any such amendment, the Co-Trustees will be entitled to receive and shall
be fully protected in conclusively relying, without liability, upon an Officer’s Certificate stating that such amend-
ment is authorized and permitted by this Indenture.
Upon the request of the Co-Issuers accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Parent
Guarantor authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement
of the Notes, any Note Guarantee or any Security Document, and upon receipt by the Co-Trustees of the documents
described in Section 9.06, 13.04 and 13.05 hereof, the Co-Trustees and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will
join with the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors, if any, in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture or
amendment or supplement of the Notes, any Note Guarantee or any Security Document, authorized or permitted by
the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein con-
tained, but the Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will not be obligated to enter into such amended
or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement of the Notes, any Note Guarantee or any Security Docu-
ment, that affects their own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the fore-
going, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor an Officer’s Certificate shall be required in connection with the addition of
a Guarantor under this Indenture upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor, the Co-Trustees and the Collateral
Agent of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit E hereto and any sup-
plement to the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements in connection with the same.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder consent is required for the Collateral Agent to enter into, or to
effect any amendment, modification or supplement to any Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement
or arrangement permitted under, referred to in or contemplated by the Indenture or in any document pertaining to
any Indebtedness permitted thereby that is permitted to be secured by the Collateral, for the purpose of adding the
holders of such Indebtedness (or their representative) as a party thereto and otherwise causing such Indebtedness to
be subject thereto, in each case as contemplated by the terms of any such Intercreditor Agreement or such other in-
tercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under, referred to in or contemplated by this Indenture (it being un-
derstood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor
agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Trustee or Collateral Agent, are required to effectuate the fore-
going and provided that such other changes are not directly adverse, in any material respect (taken as a whole), to
the interests of the Holders of the Notes); provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or other-
wise affect the rights or duties of the Trustee or Notes Collateral under the Indenture without the prior written con-
sent of the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable.
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, this Indenture (including the form of agreements attached
thereto as exhibits), the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents (including the form of agreements
attached thereto as exhibits) may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority
-140-
in an aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes other than the Notes beneficially owned by the Par-
ent Guarantor or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Additional Notes treated as the same class as the Initial
Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a
Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes,
except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision
of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in an aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes other than the
Notes beneficially owned by the Parent Guarantor or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Additional Notes
treated as the same class as the Initial Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents
obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) ; provided that (x) if any
such amendment or waiver will only affect one series of Notes (or less than all series of Notes) then outstanding un-
der this Indenture, then only the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series
then outstanding (including, in each case, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for
Notes) shall be required and (y) if any such amendment or waiver by its terms will affect a series of Notes in a man-
ner different and materially adverse relative to the manner such amendment or waiver affects other series of Notes,
then the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such adversely affected series then
outstanding (including, in each case, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for
Notes) shall be required. Sections 2.08 and 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstand-
ing” for purposes of this Section 9.02.
Upon the request of the Co-Issuers accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Parent
Guarantor authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the
Co-Trustees of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Co-Trustees of the consent of the Holders of Notes as afore-
said, and upon receipt by the Co-Trustees of the documents described in Section 9.06, 13.04 and 13.05 hereof, the
Co-Trustees and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will join with the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors in the exe-
cution of such amended or supplemental indenture or security document unless such amended or supplemental in-
denture or security document directly affects the Co-Trustees’ and/or the Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, own
rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Co-Trustees and/or the Collateral
Agent may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or secu-
rity document.
It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance
thereof. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture or the Escrow Agreement by any Holder of
Notes given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Co-Issuers will
send to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any
failure of the Co-Issuers to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the
validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may
waive compliance in a particular instance by the Co-Issuers or Guarantors with any provision of this Indenture, the
Notes or any Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected, an amendment, sup-
plement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):
(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, sup-
plement or waiver;
(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of
the provisions relating to the dates on which the Notes may be redeemed (other than altering or waiving
any of the provisions relating to the dates for the redemption periods set forth in this Indenture to the extent
that such alteration or waiver does not adversely affect the Holders of the Notes) or the redemption price
thereof with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than provisions relating to Change of Control and
Asset Sales);
-141-
(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest,
on any Note (other than provisions relating to Change of Control and Asset Sales);
(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or
interest, if any, on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default
that resulted from such acceleration);
(5) make any Note payable in anything other than U.S. dollars;
(6) impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of
principal of and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor;
(7) modify the obligation of the Co-Issuers to repurchase Notes pursuant to Section 3.11,
4.10 or 4.14 hereof, after the date of an event giving rise to such repurchase obligation; or
(8) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.
In addition, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of Notes then
outstanding, no amendment, supplement or waiver may modify any Security Document, the Intercreditor Agreements
or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with the Collateral or the Security Documents that would have the effect of
releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except as permitted by the
terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements) or change or alter the priority of the
Liens in the Collateral.
In connection with any determination as to whether the requisite Holders have (A) consented (or not consented)
to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Indenture, any Security Document or any Inter-
creditor Agreement or any departure by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary therefrom, (B) otherwise
acted on any matter related to the Indenture, any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement or (C) directed
or required by the Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action)
with respect to, or under, the Indenture, any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement, any Holder (or any
Affiliate of such Person (provided that for purposes of this paragraph, Affiliates shall not include Persons that are
subject to customary procedures to prevent the sharing of confidential information between such Holders and such
Person and such Person is managed having independent fiduciary duties to the investors or other equityholders of
such Person) (other than any Holder that is a Regulated Bank) that, as a result of its (or its Affiliates’) interest in any
total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total
return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona
fide market making activities), has a net short position on the date, if any, that such Holder consents to such amend-
ment, modification or waiver or takes an action of the type specified in clause (B) or (C) above (such later date, the
“date of determination”) with respect to the Notes or with respect to any other tranche, class or series of Indebted-
ness for borrowed money incurred or issued by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on such
date of determination (including commitments with respect to any revolving credit facility) (each such item of In-
debtedness, including the Notes, “Specified Indebtedness”) (each such Holder, a “Net Short Holder”) shall be
deemed to have voted its interest as a Holder without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting
with respect to such matter by Holders who are not Net Short Holders (including in any plan of reorganization). For
purposes of determining whether a Holder (alone or together with its Affiliates) has a “net short position” on any
date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to any Specified Indebtedness and such contracts that are
the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount of such contract in Dollars, (ii) notional
amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the Dollar equivalent thereof by such Holder in a commercially
reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate
(determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that
includes the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary or any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Parent
Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to such Specified
-142-
Indebtedness, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Holder or its Af-
filiates and (y) the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries and any instrument issued or guaranteed by the
Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiaries, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such
index, (iv) derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions or
the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create
a short position with respect to the relevant Specified Indebtedness if such Holder or its Affiliates is a protection
buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the relevant Specified Indebtedness is a “Ref-
erence Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related docu-
mentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by Markit, if “Standard
Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the rele-
vant Specified Indebtedness would be a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction or
(z) the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such
derivative transaction and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using
the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to any Specified Indebtedness if
such transactions offer the Holder or its Affiliates protection against a decline in the value of such Specified Indebt-
edness, or in the credit quality of the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, other than as
part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Holder or its
Affiliates and (y) the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries, and any instrument issued or guaranteed by
the Parent Guarantor or the other Restricted Subsidiaries, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the compo-
nents of such index. In connection with any amendment, modification or waiver of the Indenture, any Security Doc-
ument or any Intercreditor Agreement, each Holder (other than any Holder that is a Regulated Bank) will be deemed
to have represented to the Co-Issuers and the Co-Trustees that it does not constitute a Net Short Holder, in each
case, unless such Holder shall have notified the Co-Issuers and the Co-Trustees prior to the requested response date
with respect to such amendment, modification or waiver that it constitutes a Net Short Holder (it being understood
and agreed that the Co-Issuers and the Co-Trustees shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed
representation). In no event shall the Co-Trustees be obligated to ascertain, calculate, monitor, inquire or otherwise
make any determination as to whether any Holder is a Net Short Holder. In any case in which the Holder is DTC or
its nominee, each beneficial owner of the Notes agrees to notify DTC if it is a Net Short Holder and DTC shall be
entitled to conclusively rely thereon in delivering its consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of any pro-
vision of the Indenture, any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement.
The Co-Trustees may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any
Note thereafter authenticated. The Co-Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Co-Trustees shall, upon
receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such
amendment, supplement or waiver.
The Co-Trustees and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will sign any amended or supplemental inden-
ture or amendment or supplement of the Notes, any Note Guarantee or any Security Document, authorized pursuant
to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities
-143-
of the Co-Trustees and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Co-Issuers may not sign an amended or supple-
mental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor approves it. In executing any amended or sup-
plemental indenture or amendment or supplement of the Notes, any Note Guarantee or any Security Document, the
Co-Trustees and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01
hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental inden-
ture or amendment or supplement of the Notes, any Note Guarantee or any Security Document, is authorized or per-
mitted by this Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Security Documents and that such supplemental indenture
or amendment or supplement of the Notes, any Note Guarantee or any Security Document, constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors, subject to customary exceptions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder consent is required for the Collateral Agent to enter into, or to ef-
fect any amendment, modification or supplement to any Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or
arrangement permitted under, referred to in or contemplated by this Indenture or in any document pertaining to any In-
debtedness permitted thereby that is permitted to be secured by the Collateral, for the purpose of adding the holders of
such Indebtedness (or their representative) as a party thereto and otherwise causing such Indebtedness to be subject
thereto, in each case as contemplated by the terms of any such Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor
agreement or arrangement permitted under, referred to in or contemplated by this Indenture, as applicable (it being un-
derstood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable Intercreditor Agree-
ment as, in the good faith determination of the Co-Trustees or Collateral Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing
and provided that such other changes are not directly adverse, in any material respect (taken as a whole), to the interests
of the Holders of the Notes); provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the
rights or duties of the Co-Trustees or Notes Collateral under this Indenture without the prior written consent of the Co-
Trustees or Collateral Agent, as applicable.
ARTICLE 10
NOTE GUARANTEES
(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors that executes this Indenture or a supple-
mental indenture hereto, from and after the date of such execution, jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully
and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Co-Trustees and
to the Co-Trustees and their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this In-
denture, the Notes or the obligations of the Co-Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:
(1) the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in
full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Co-
Issuers to the Holders or the Co-Trustees hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or per-
formed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (including, without limitation, interest accruing
after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization, ar-
rangement, receivership or like proceeding, relating to the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor whether or not a
claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding and the obligations under Sec-
tion 7.07); and
(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of
the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever
reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees
that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
-144-
(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespec-
tive of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or
thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Co-Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Co-Issuers, any right
to require a proceeding first against the Co-Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and cove-
nants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations
contained in the Notes and this Indenture.
(c) If any Holder or Co-Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Co-Issu-
ers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the
Co-Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either the Co-Trustees or such Holder, this Note Guaran-
tee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to
the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaran-
teed hereby.
(e) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Holders and the Co-Trustees, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may
be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any
stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed
hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6
hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution
from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Hold-
ers under the Note Guarantee.
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all
such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or transfer
at undervalue for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act or any similar federal, state, provincial or territorial law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee.
To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Co-Trustees, the Holders and the U.S. Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the obligations of such U.S. Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to
such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such U.S. Guarantor that are relevant under
such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by
or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other U.S. Guarantor under this Article 10,
result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or convey-
ance.
The guarantee of any Non-North American Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor after the Com-
pletion Date shall be subject to any limitations relating to that Non-North American Restricted Subsidiary on the
amount guaranteed or to the extent of the recourse of the beneficiaries of the guarantee as set out in the relevant
supplemental indenture and agreed with the Co-Trustees (acting reasonably and in accordance with the Agreed Secu-
rity Principles).
To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a nota-
tion of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto will be endorsed by the manual or
facsimile signature of an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Co-Trustees and
-145-
that this Indenture or a supplemental indenture hereto will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Of-
ficers.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or a supplemental indenture hereto or on the Note Guar-
antee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is en-
dorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due de-
livery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
In the event that the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Wholly-
Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, Wholly-Owned Canadian Restricted Subsidiary or Wholly-Owned U.K.
Restricted Subsidiary after the Completion Date, if required by Section 4.16 hereof, the Parent Guarantor will cause
such Wholly-Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, Wholly-Owned Canadian Restricted Subsidiary or Wholly-
Owned U.K. Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.16 hereof and this Article 10, to the
extent applicable.
Neither the Parent Guarantor nor any Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect
a Note Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge or amalgamate with or into (whether or not such Guar-
antor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Co-Issuers or another Guarantor, unless either:
(1) subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such
sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving or continuing following any such consoli-
dation, amalgamation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor un-
der its Note Guarantee and this Indenture, on the terms set forth therein or herein, pursuant to a
supplemental indenture; or
In case of any such consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by
the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Co-Trustees and satisfactory in form
to the Co-Trustees, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of
the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed
to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such suc-
cessor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the
Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Co-Issuers and delivered to the Co-
Trustees. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this In-
denture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as
though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will
prevent any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Co-Issuers or another Guarantor,
or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to
the Co-Issuers or another Guarantor.
-146-
Section 10.05 Releases.
A Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and dis-
charged upon:
(1) the sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer (including through merger, arrangement,
amalgamation or consolidation) of (x) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) either of the Co-Issuers or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Parent Guarantor, if after such transaction the Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, or (y) all or
substantially all the assets of such Guarantor if such sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer is made in
compliance with this Indenture and such entity is not a guarantor or a borrower (if applicable) of the obliga-
tions under the ABL Credit Agreement (or is contemporaneously released therefrom);
(3) in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Completion Date is required to
guarantee the Notes pursuant Section 4.16, the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted
Subsidiary of Indebtedness that gave rise to such guarantee whether such release or discharge occurs upon
any action, event, circumstance or occurrence in accordance with the terms thereof or the repayment of the
Indebtedness, in each case, that resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Notes, except if a release or dis-
charge is by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such other
guarantee or Indebtedness (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still
considered a release and that if any such guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated
to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant Section 4.16);
(4) in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, the release
or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Co-Issuers under the
ABL Credit Agreement whether such release or discharge occurs upon any action, event, circumstance or
occurrence in accordance with the terms thereof or the repayment of the Indebtedness, in each case, under
the ABL Credit Agreement and any other then-outstanding Certain Capital Markets Debt, except if a re-
lease or discharge is by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under
such other guarantee or Indebtedness (except to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to
provide a Guarantee pursuant Section 4.16);
(5) the Co-Issuers’ exercise of their legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as
described under Article 8, or if the Co-Issuers’ Obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accord-
ance with the terms of this Indenture; and
(6) such Guarantor ceasing to be a guarantor (or borrower, if applicable) under the ABL
Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case, other than pursuant to a repayment or
refinancing of the ABL Credit Agreement (other than in connection with the termination or payoff of the
ABL Credit Agreement) (except to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a
Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.16).
As an original and independent obligation, each Guarantor shall (i) indemnify each Co-Trustee and Holder
and their successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns and keep the Co-Trustees and Holders indemnified against all
costs, losses, expenses and liabilities of whatever kind resulting from the failure by the Co-Issuers, or any of them, to
make due and punctual payment of any of the obligations guaranteed under this Article 10 or resulting from any of
such obligations being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against any Co-Issuer or Guarantor
(including, but without limitation, all legal and other costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Co-Trustees or
Holders, or any of them, in connection with preserving or enforcing, or attempting to preserve or enforce, its rights
under this Article 10); and (ii) pay on demand the amount of such costs, losses, expenses and liabilities whether or not
-147-
any of the Co-Trustees or Holders has attempted to enforce any rights against any Co-Issuer or Guarantor or any other
Person or otherwise.
ARTICLE 11
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
This Indenture and the Security Documents will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all
Notes issued hereunder, when:
(1) either:
(a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes
that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust
and thereafter repaid to the Co-Issuers or discharged from such trust, have been cancelled or deliv-
ered to the Trustee or Co-Trustee for cancellation; or
(b) all such Notes have become due and payable at final maturity or by reason of the
mailing of a notice of redemption or will become due and payable within one year or will be re-
deemed within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Co-Trustees for the giving of a no-
tice of redemption in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers and the Co-Issuers or any
Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee or Co-Trustee as
trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, (i) cash in U.S. dollars in an amount, (ii)
non-callable Government Securities, the scheduled payments of principal of and interest thereon
will be in an amount, or (iii) a combination thereof in amounts, as will be sufficient (in case Gov-
ernment Securities have been deposited, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment
bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants certified in writing to the Co-Trus-
tees), without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebt-
edness on such Notes for principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes to the
date of maturity or redemption;
(2) the Co-Issuers have or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it
under this Indenture; and
(3) the Co-Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee or the Co-Trustee as
applicable (with a copy to the Trustee or Co-Trustee, as applicable) under this Indenture to apply the depos-
ited money toward the payment of the Notes to maturity or to the redemption date, as the case may be.
In addition, the Co-Issuers must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Co-Trustees stating
that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (in-
cluding the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Co-Trustees pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust
and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly
or through any Paying Agent (including the either Co-Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Co-Trustees may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such
money has been deposited with the Co-Trustees; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law.
If either of the Co-Trustees or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in ac-
cordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Co-Issuers’ and
-148-
any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit
had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Co-Issuers have made any payment of principal
of, premium on, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Co-Issuers
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Govern-
ment Securities held by the Co-Trustees or Paying Agent.
The Co-Issuers will pay and indemnify the Co-Trustees against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof or the
principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 11 to the contrary, the Co-Trustees will deliver or pay to the Co-
Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Co-Issuers any money or non-callable Government Securities held
by it as provided in Section 11.01 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Co-Trustees, are in excess of the amount
thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect a discharge in accordance with this Article 11.
ARTICLE 12
COLLATERAL
From and after the Completion Date, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Notes and the Guarantees when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest
payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, interest on the overdue principal of
and interest (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and the Guarantees and performance of all other
obligations of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors under this Indenture, and the Notes and the Security Documents,
shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents (upon the entry into such documents), which will define the
terms of the Liens that secure the Notes Obligations, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and, in the
case of the Non-North American Guarantors and/or Non-North American Collateral, the Agreed Security Principles.
The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agree that the Collateral Agent shall hold the Collateral in trust for its
benefit and for the benefit of all of the Holders and the Co-Trustees, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Secu-
rity Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and de-
liver the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Notes, con-
sents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements (including the provisions
providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be
amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreements, and
authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements on
the Completion Date, and at any time after the Completion Date, and to perform its obligations and exercise its
rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Collateral Agent, the Co-Trustees and each Holder, by accepting the
Notes and the Guarantees, acknowledges that, as more fully set forth in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreements, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held for the benefit of all the Holders, the Collat-
eral Agent and the Co-Trustees, and that the Lien of this Indenture and the Security Documents in respect of the
Collateral Agent, the Co-Trustees and the Holders is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Secu-
rity Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and actions that may be taken thereunder.
From and after the Completion Date, subject to the limitations set forth in the Security Documents, the Co-
Issuers and each of the Guarantors will execute, deliver and file, if applicable any and all documents, financing
statements, financing change statements, registrations, agreements and instruments, and take all action that may be
reasonably required under applicable law (including the filing of continuation financing statements and amendments
to financing statements or equivalent Canadian financing statements or registrations), or that the Collateral Agent
may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect (or make opposable against third parties in
the case of Quebec) the validity and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Docu-
ments in the Collateral, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and, in the case of the Non-North Amer-
ican Guarantors and/or Non-North American Collateral, the Agreed Security Principles and Legal Reservations.
-149-
Section 12.02 Release of Collateral.
(A) In addition to releases pursuant to any Intercreditor Agreement, the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors
will be entitled to the release of property and other assets constituting Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes
and the Notes Obligations under any one or more of the following circumstances:
(1) to enable a Co-Issuer or a Guarantor to consummate the sale, transfer or other disposition
(including by the termination of capital leases or the repossession of the leased property in a capital lease
by the lessor) of such property or assets (to a Person that is not a Co-Issuer or a Guarantor) to the extent not
prohibited under Section 4.10;
(2) upon the release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee with respect to the Notes pursuant to
this Indenture;
(5) upon any release or termination of the Lien on any ABL Priority Collateral securing the
ABL Credit Agreement other than pursuant to a repayment or refinancing of the ABL Credit Agreement; or
(6) with respect to any Non-North American Guarantor, in accordance with the Agreed Secu-
rity Principles.
(B) The Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes and the Guarantees also will be automatically re-
leased (i) upon payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes and all
other Obligations under this Indenture, the Guarantees and the Security Documents that are due and payable at or
prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid, (ii) upon a legal defeasance or
covenant defeasance under this Indenture as described under Article 8 or upon the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture as described under Article 11 or (iii) pursuant to any Intercreditor Agreement. The Holders also irrevoca-
bly authorize the Collateral Agent (a) to enter into and sign for and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, the Secu-
rity Documents (including any subordination or intercreditor agreements with respect to Indebtedness and Liens per-
mitted under this Indenture to the extent the Collateral Agent is otherwise contemplated under this Indenture as be-
ing a party to such intercreditor or subordination agreement) for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties and (b) to
release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent to the holder of any Lien
on such property that is permitted by clause (6) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” to the extent required by the
holder of, or pursuant to the terms of any agreement governing, the obligations secured by such Liens.
(C) In each case described in the foregoing, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate stating that all
conditions precedent under this Indenture and the Security Documents, as applicable, to such release have been met
and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Co-Issuers, the Col-
lateral Agent will, at the Co-Issuers’ expense, execute and deliver to the Co-Issuers or the applicable Guarantor such
documents as the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Col-
lateral from the Lien granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to evidence
the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee, in each case in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture and applicable Security Documents.
(D) The release of any Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Security Doc-
uments shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture on any remaining Collateral or affect the Lien
of this Indenture or the Security Documents on any remaining Collateral pursuant to this Indenture, the Security
Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements.

Section 12.03 Suits to Protect the Collateral.
Subject to the provisions of Article 7 and the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the
Co-Trustees may or may direct the Collateral Agent to take all actions it determines in order to:
(b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder.
Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Co-Trustees and the Col-
lateral Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Co-Trustees may
determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of
the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Co-Trustees may determine to pre-
serve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be
considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Co-Trustees or the Collateral Agent.
Section 12.04 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Co-Trustees Under the Security Documents.
Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Co-Trustees are authorized to receive any
funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of
such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.
In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound
to ascertain the authority of the Collateral Agent or the Co-Trustees to execute the release or to inquire as to the sat-
isfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the appli-
cation of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee
of any property or rights permitted by this Article 12 to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into
the authority of the Co-Issuers or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.
In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers con-
ferred in this Article 12 upon the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of
such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee
shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor or of any Officer or Offic-
ers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 12; and if the Co-Trustees shall be in the possession of the Col-
lateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.
In the event that the Co-Issuers deliver to the Co-Trustees an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (i) pay-
ment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts on, the Notes and
all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents that were due and
payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts,
were paid, (ii) the Co-Issuers shall have exercised their Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option,
in each case in compliance with the provisions of Article 8, or (iii) the Co-Issuers have discharged this Indenture and
the Security Documents described under Article 11, and in each case, an Opinion of Counsel stating that all condi-
tions precedent to such Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or discharge, as applicable, have been satisfied, the
Co-Trustees and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall deliver to the Co-Issuers a release of Lien in the Collat-
eral without recourse, representations or warranties and shall do or cause to be done (at the expense of the Co-Issu-
ers) all acts reasonably requested of them to promptly release such Lien.

Section 12.08 Collateral Agent.
(a) The Co-Trustees and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates
and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Inter-
creditor Agreements and the Co-Trustees and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevo-
cably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture,
the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to exercise such powers and perform such du-
ties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents
and the Intercreditor Agreements, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and
each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or other-
wise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Collateral Agent agrees to
act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.08. Each Holder agrees that any action
taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agree-
ments and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set
forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agree-
ments, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral
Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collat-
eral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Co-Trustees, any
Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities
shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or otherwise exist
against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term
“agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or
other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such
term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b) The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Security Doc-
uments or the Intercreditor Agreements by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with
respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates and branches (a “Related Person”),
and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be enti-
tled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by
legal counsel. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any re-
ceiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made
in good faith and with due care.
(c) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the
transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in
connection with any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreements or the transactions contemplated
thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to
any of the Co-Trustees or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agree-
ment made by Co-Issuers or any other Grantor (as defined in a Security Agreement or similar term used in a
Security Agreement) or Affiliate of any Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this
Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or in any certificate, report, statement or
other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection
with, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or the validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor
Agreements, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Security Documents
or the Intercreditor Agreements to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Collateral
Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Co-Trustees or any
Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in,
or conditions of, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or to inspect the
properties, books, or records of any Grantor or any Grantor’s Affiliates.
-152-
(d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, tele-
phone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone
or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Per-
son or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to
the Co-Issuers or any other Grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the
Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or mat-
ters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor
Agreements unless it shall first receive such request, direction, instruction or consent of the Holders of a ma-
jority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be in-
demnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred
by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the
Intercreditor Agreements in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken
or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.
(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence
of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received
written notice from the Co-Trustees or the Co-Issuers referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested in accordance with Article 6 by
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.08).
(f) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Co-Trustees (if one of the
Co-Trustees is not also acting as Collateral Agent hereunder) and the Co-Issuers, such resignation to be ef-
fective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral
Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Co-Issuers shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor
collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as
stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the con-
sent of the Co-Issuers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required
during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the
Co-Issuers pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of res-
ignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collat-
eral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the
retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. Af-
ter the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.08 (and Section
7.07) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resig-
nation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture.
(g) Ankura Trust Company, LLC shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized
to appoint co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided
herein or in the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of
its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to
demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obli-
gation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other
action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accounta-
ble only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Col-
lateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure
-153-
to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final order of
a court of competent jurisdiction.
(h) The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Security Documents to
which it is party, whether executed on or after the Issue Date, (ii) enter into the Intercreditor Agreements,
(iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents and Intercreditor Agree-
ments, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agree-
ments and (v) perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreements.
(i) If at any time or times the Co-Trustees shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or
otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relat-
ing to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Co-Trustees from the Col-
lateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of
the amount required to be paid to the Co-Trustees pursuant to Article 6, the Co-Trustees shall promptly turn
the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate
the same to the Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of
this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.
(j) The Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting (or making op-
posable against third parties in the case of Quebec) the Holders’ security interest or hypothecs in assets
which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the Canadian PPSA or the STA can
be perfected (or made opposable against third parties in the case of Quebec) only by possession. Should the
Co-Trustees obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Co-Issuers, the Co-Trustees
shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or
otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.
(k) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Co-Trustees or any of the
Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured
or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully
created, perfected (or made opposable against third parties in the case of Quebec), protected, maintained or
enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Grantor’s property con-
stituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien of the Security Documents has been properly and com-
pletely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency
thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure,
or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreements other
than pursuant to the instructions of the Co-Trustees or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents.
(l) If the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Lien Obli-
gations, ABL Obligations or Permitted Junior Lien Obligations at any time when no applicable intercreditor
agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations, ABL Obliga-
tions or Permitted Junior Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing Intercreditor Agreement is
concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and request-
ing the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the ap-
plicable Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First
Lien Obligations, ABL Obligations or Permitted Junior Lien Obligations so incurred, together with an Opin-
ion of Counsel, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such inter-
creditor agreement (at the sole and reasonable expense and cost of the Co-Issuers, including reasonable legal
fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein
and perform and observe its obligations thereunder; provided that neither an Officer’s Certificate nor an
Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the applicable Intercreditor Agreements to be en-
tered into by the Collateral Agent on the Completion Date.
-154-
(m) No provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Document
shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Co-Trustees) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take
any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Co-Trus-
tees in the case of the Collateral Agent) if it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent and the Co-Trustees against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating
thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements
or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to
foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct
any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has
determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on
or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Collateral Agent shall at any time
be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indem-
nity, security or undertaking from the Parent Guarantor or the Holders to be sufficient.
(n) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
in connection with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents or instrument
referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appeala-
ble judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent
may agree in writing with the Co-Issuers and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of
any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such
counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose
duties to act.
(o) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Co-Trustees shall be liable for delays or failures in
performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God,
strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire,
communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the
Collateral Agent nor the Co-Trustees shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or conse-
quential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the
likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.
(p) The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in perfor-
mance or any breach by the Parent Guarantor or any other Grantor under this Indenture, the Intercreditor
Agreements and the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or
any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this In-
denture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or in any certificate, report, statement, or
other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection
with, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genu-
ineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Intercreditor Agreements and any Security Documents of any
other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of
any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection (or opposability
against third parties in the case of Quebec) or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or col-
lectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, cre-
ditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under
this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have
no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or
Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Intercred-
itor Agreements and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in
this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and any Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be
required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Inter-
creditor Agreements and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The
-155-
Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the
administration of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.
(q) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Collat-
eral Agent nor the Co-Trustees shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities,
claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages
(including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any
remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and
maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind
whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements,
the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the
Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Intercreditor
Agreements and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership pri-
marily to protect the security interest or hypothec of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such
actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in
the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent or the Co-Trustees is required to
acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto which in
the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent or the
Co-Trustees to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environ-
mental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise
cause the Collateral Agent or the Co-Trustees to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state,
provincial, territorial, local or foreign law, each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, as applicable, re-
serves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Collateral Agent or the Co-Trustees or
arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Collateral
Agent nor the Co-Trustees shall be liable to the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors or any other Person for any envi-
ronmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state, provincial, territorial, local or foreign law,
rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, em-
powered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous mate-
rials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned,
operated or managed by any Person (including the Collateral Agent or the Co-Trustees) other than the Co-
Issuers or the Guarantors, a majority in interest of Holders shall direct the Collateral Agent or the Co-Trus-
tees to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they
shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property.
(r) Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written request of the Co-Issuers signed by
an Officer (a “Security Document Order”), the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter
into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security
Document to be executed after the Issue Date. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being
delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section
12.08(r), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security Document and the Col-
lateral Agent shall (without any obligation to review or negotiate the terms of such Security Document) sign
any such Security Document. Any such execution of a Security Document shall be at the direction and ex-
pense of the Co-Issuers, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of
Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document have
been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral
Agent to execute such Security Documents without risk of liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event shall the Collateral Agent be required to execute and enter into any such Security Document if the
Collateral Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that such Security Document is reasonably likely to
adversely affect any of the Collateral Agent’s rights, benefits, immunities, privileges or indemnities hereun-
der, require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or cause the Collateral Agent to incur any
loss, liability or expense.
(s) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreements, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent shall execute and de-
liver the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents to which it is a party and all agreements,
-156-
documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoid-
ance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agree-
ments or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, ap-
proval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes, the Co-Trustees or, as expressly set forth herein, the Co-Issuers, as
applicable, subject, in each case, to all the rights, protections, privileges, indemnities and immunities af-
forded the Collateral Agent and the Co-Trustees hereunder and under the Security Documents.
(t) After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Co-Trustees, acting at the
direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may
direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture, the Secu-
rity Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements.
(u) The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Co-
Trustees and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements and to
the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreements, for turnover to the Co-Trustees to make further
distributions of such funds to itself, the Co-Trustees and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.13 and the other provisions of this Indenture.
(v) In each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Security
Document or any Intercreditor Agreement to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to
make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral
or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral
Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstand-
ing Notes. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken
by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes. Subject to the provisions of Article IX, if the Collateral Agent shall request direc-
tion from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect
to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collat-
eral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so re-
fraining.
(w) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Security Document or
any Intercreditor Agreement, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Co-Trustees be responsible for, or
have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection (or opposability
against third parties in the case of Quebec), protection or maintenance of the Liens intended to be created by
this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements (including without limitation the fil-
ing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements, Canadian PPSA financing statements,
financing change statements or similar registrations, documents or instruments), nor shall the Collateral
Agent or the Co-Trustees be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Co-Trustees makes any
representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the Liens
intended to be created thereby.
(x) Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or di-
rection of the Co-Issuers or the Guarantors, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel,
which shall conform to the provisions of this Section 12.08 and Section 13.04. The Collateral Agent shall
not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.
(y) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall act
pursuant to the instructions of the Holders, the Co-Trustees and, as expressly set forth herein, the Co-Issuers,
solely with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral, except as otherwise set forth in any Inter-
creditor Agreement.
(z) For the purposes of holding any hypothec granted pursuant to the laws of the Province of
Quebec, each of the Holders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent and, to the extent
-157-
necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Collateral Agent to act as the hypothecary repre-
sentative of the Holders as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec, and to enter into, to
