Introductory Note.
On December 6, 2019, Mallinckrodt International Finance S.A. and Mallinckrodt CB LLC (the “Issuers”), wholly owned subsidiaries of Mallinckrodt plc (the “Company”), completed their previously announced (1) offers (the “Exchange Offers”) to exchange certain existing notes issued by the Issuers for new 10.000% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2025 issued by the Issuers (the “New Notes”) and (2) exchange of New Notes for the existing notes of certain holders, separate from the Exchange Offers, pursuant to an exchange agreement by and among such holders and the Issuers (the “Separate Exchange”). Pursuant to the Exchange Offers and the Separate Exchange, the Issuers issued approximately $323 million of New Notes.
Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The New Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of December 6, 2019 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Note Guarantors (as defined below) and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as second lien trustee and second lien collateral agent. Pursuant to the Exchange Offers and the Separate Exchange, the New Notes were issued in the United States to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulations S under the Securities Act.
Interest on the New Notes is payable semi-annually in cash on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2020.
The Issuers may redeem some or all of the New Notes prior to April 15, 2022 by paying a “make-whole” premium. The Issuers may redeem some or all of the New Notes on or after April 15, 2022 at specified redemption prices. In addition, prior to April 15, 2022, the Issuers may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings. The Issuers may also redeem all, but not less than all, of the New Notes at any time at a price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in the event the Issuers become obligated to pay additional amounts as a result of changes affecting certain withholding tax laws applicable to payments on the New Notes.
The Issuers are obligated to offer to repurchase the New Notes (a) at a price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as a result of certain change of control events and (b) at a price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in the event of certain net asset sales. These obligations are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions.
The Indenture contains certain customary covenants and events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods). The occurrence of an event of default under the Indenture could result in the acceleration of the New Notes and could cause a cross-default that could result in the acceleration of other indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The New Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions (including the exclusion of any subsidiary organized under the laws of Switzerland), on a secured, unsubordinated basis by the Company and each of its subsidiaries (other than the Issuers) (the “Note Guarantors”) that guarantees the obligations under the Issuers’ existing senior secured credit facilities.
The New Notes and the guarantees thereof are secured by liens on the same assets of the Issuers and the Note Guarantors that are subject to liens securing the existing senior secured credit facilities, subject to certain exceptions (including the exclusion of the assets of any subsidiary organized under the laws of Switzerland).
Pursuant to a second lien intercreditor agreement, dated as of December 6, 2019 among Deutsche Bank AG New York Brach, as first lien collateral agent and first lien credit agreement representative, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as second lien collateral agent and initial second lien document representative, each other first lien representative party thereto from time to time and each other second lien representative party thereto from time to time and acknowledged and agreed to by the Company, the Issuers and each other obligor party thereto from time to time (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), the security interest in the collateral securing the New Notes and the guarantees thereof is junior in priority to the security interest securing the obligations under the Issuers' existing senior secured credit facilities.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

In the event that the Parent or any such Subsidiary Incurs, repays, repurchases or redeems any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio is made (the “Consolidated Total Net Leverage Calculation Date”), then the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, discontinued operation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or reorganization, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such

Investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or reorganization had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.
For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Issuer as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, to reflect operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from the applicable event within 12 months of the date the applicable event is consummated and which are expected to have a continuing impact and are factually supportable.
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 Consolidated Total Net Leverage Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. 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 deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.
For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.

-20-



repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period; provided that the Issuers may elect pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Second Lien Trustee to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being Incurred at such time, in which case any subsequent Incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an Incurrence at such subsequent time.
To the extent (a) the Issuer elects pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Second Lien Trustee to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being Incurred or (b) the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary elects to treat Indebtedness as having been Incurred prior to the actual Incurrence thereof pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(3), the Issuer shall deem all or such portion of such commitment or such Indebtedness, as applicable, as having been Incurred and to be outstanding for purposes of calculating the First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio for any period in which the Issuer makes any such election and for any subsequent period until such commitments or such Indebtedness, as applicable, are no longer outstanding.
For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any operational changes, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations that the Parent, an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary has determined to make and/or made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the First Lien Secured Leverage Calculation Date (each, for purposes of this definition, a “pro forma event”) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations and other operational changes, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Parent, an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, discontinued operation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or reorganization, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or reorganization had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.
For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Issuer as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, to reflect operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from the applicable event within 12 months of the date the applicable event is consummated and which are expected to have a continuing impact and are factually supportable.
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 First Lien Secured Leverage Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an

-21-



interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a Eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.
For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.

In the event that the Parent, an Issuer or any such Subsidiary Incurs, repays, repurchases or redeems any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the First Lien/Second Lien Secured Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the First Lien/Second Secured Leverage Ratio is made (the “First Lien/Second Lien Secured Leverage Calculation Date”), then the First Lien/Second Lien Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period; provided that the Issuers may elect pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Second Lien Trustee to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being Incurred at such time, in which case any subsequent Incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an Incurrence at such subsequent time.
To the extent (a) the Issuer elects pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Second Lien Trustee to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being Incurred or (b) the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary elects to treat Indebtedness as having been Incurred prior to the actual Incurrence thereof pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(3), the Issuer shall deem all or such portion of such commitment or such Indebtedness, as applicable, as having been Incurred and to be outstanding for purposes of calculating the First Lien/Second Lien Secured Leverage Ratio for any period in which the Issuer makes any such election and for any subsequent period until such commitments or such Indebtedness, as applicable, are no longer outstanding.
For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any operational changes, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations that the Parent, an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary has determined to make and/or made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the First Lien/Second Lien Secured Leverage Calculation Date (each, for purposes of this definition, a “pro forma event”) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations and other operational changes, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Parent, an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, discontinued operation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or reorganization, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the First Lien/Second Lien Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or

reorganization had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the First Lien/Second Lien Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter 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 First Lien/Second Lien Secured Leverage Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. 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 deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.
For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.

Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. 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 deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.

With respect to any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 3.08, 4.06(e), 4.08(c) or Appendix A), there shall be (a) established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officers’ Certificate or (ii) established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes:

(2)    the issue price and issuance date of such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest on such Additional Notes shall accrue; and

If any of the terms of any Additional Notes are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Issuer and delivered to the Second Lien Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate or an indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Notes.
The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes may, at the Issuer’s option, be treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number, if applicable.
SECTION 2.02    Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Initial Notes are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Initial Notes and the Second Lien Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional Notes (if issued as Transfer Restricted Notes) and the Second Lien Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuers or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuers). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that Notes may be issued in denominations of less than $2,000 solely to accommodate book-entry positions that have been created by Depository participants in denominations of less than $2,000.
SECTION 2.03    Execution and Authentication. The Second Lien Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Issuers signed by one Officer of each Issuer (an “Authentication Order”) (a) Initial Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $322,868,000.00 and (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein. Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of separate Note certificates to be authenticated, the principal amount of each of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes, the registered holder of each of the Notes and delivery instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or Appendix A, any issuance of Additional Notes after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
As far as the Issuer is concerned, the Notes (in global or definitive form) will have to be signed pursuant to the articles of association of the Issuer or the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Issuer. One Officer shall sign the Notes for each Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Second Lien Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.
A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Second Lien Trustee (or an authenticating agent as described immediately below) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.
The Second Lien Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate the Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuers. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Second Lien Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Second Lien Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.
SECTION 2.04    Registrar and Paying Agent.
(a)    The Issuers shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The term “Paying Agent” includes the Paying Agent and any additional paying agents. The Issuers initially appoint the Second Lien Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.
(b)    Upon written request from the Issuer, the Registrar shall provide the Issuer with a copy of the register for the Notes to enable it to maintain a register of the Notes at its registered office. Further, the Registrar(s) shall provide a copy of the register upon written request after any amendment has been made to the register(s).
(c)    The Issuers may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuers shall notify the Second Lien Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Second Lien Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
(d)    The Issuers may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Second Lien Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuers and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Second Lien Trustee or (ii) notification to the Second Lien Trustee that the Second Lien Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuers and the Second Lien Trustee; provided, however, that the Second Lien Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Second Lien Trustee also resigns as Second Lien Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.
SECTION 2.05    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of and interest on any Note, the Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of holders or the Second Lien Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Second Lien Trustee of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. If the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Second Lien Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Second Lien Trustee.
SECTION 2.06    Holder Lists. The Second Lien Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of holders. If the Second Lien Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Second Lien Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Second Lien Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Second Lien Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of holders.
SECTION 2.07    Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements (including, among other things, the furnishing of appropriate endorsements and transfer documents) therefor are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Second Lien Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges payable on transfer that are required by law in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section. The Issuer shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed.
Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Second Lien Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Second Lien Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.
All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
The Second Lien Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, 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 between or among Depository 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 determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
None of the Second Lien Trustee, Registrar or Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository.
Notwithstanding any register held and maintained by the Registrar or any other registrar appointed by the Issuers, the Issuer will keep a register of holders of Notes at its registered office (the “Register”), for the purpose of Luxembourg law. Ownership in respect of Notes is established by way of registration of the transfer of notes in the Register. In the case of a conflict between a register of Notes held by an agent of the Issuer and the Register, the Register will be prima facie evidence of ownership for Luxembourg law purposes, in the event of discrepancy between that register and the Register.
SECTION 2.08    Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuers shall issue and the Second Lien Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the holder (a) satisfies the Issuers and the Second Lien Trustee within a reasonable time after such holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuers and the Second Lien Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Issuers and the Second Lien Trustee. Such holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Second Lien Trustee, with respect to the Second Lien Trustee, and the Issuers, with respect to the Issuers, to protect the Issuers, the Second Lien Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar, as applicable, from any loss or liability that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced and subsequently presented or claimed for payment. The Issuers and the Second Lien Trustee may charge the holder for their expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuers in their discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.
Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers.
The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.
SECTION 2.09    Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Second Lien Trustee except for those canceled by it, those paid pursuant to Section 2.08, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 14.05, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers hold the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Second Lien Trustee and the Issuers receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08.
If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
SECTION 2.10    Cancellation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Second Lien Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Second Lien Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Second Lien Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes they have redeemed, paid or delivered to the Second Lien Trustee for cancellation. The Second Lien Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
SECTION 2.11    Defaulted Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuers shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuers may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Second Lien Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each affected holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.
SECTION 2.12    CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, Etc. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Second Lien Trustee shall use any such CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders; provided, however, 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 a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers shall promptly advise the Second Lien Trustee in writing of any change in any such CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.
SECTION 2.13    Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and Section 14.05 of this Indenture. Any calculation of the Applicable Premium or Additional Amounts made pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be made by the Issuer and delivered to the Second Lien Trustee pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate.
ARTICLE III

Except as set forth in paragraph 5 of the Note, the notice of redemption may not be canceled once delivered to holders of Notes by the Second Lien Trustee.
SECTION 3.06    Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with Section 3.05, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice, except as provided in the final paragraph of paragraph 5 of the Notes. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant Record Date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other holder.
SECTION 3.07    Deposit of Redemption Price. With respect to any Notes, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Second Lien Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 3.09    [Reserved].
SECTION 3.10    Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes. The Issuers may, at their option, redeem all (but not less than all) of the Notes then outstanding, in each case at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which shall become due on the applicable redemption date as a result of the redemption or otherwise if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or the official written interpretation of such laws, which change or amendment is publicly announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (or, if the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, after such later date) (each of the foregoing changes or amendments, a “Change in Tax Law”), the Issuers are, or on the next interest payment date in respect of the Notes would be, required to pay any Additional Amounts or if, after the Issue Date (or, if the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, after such later date), any action is taken by a taxing authority of, or any action has been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in, a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or any taxing authority thereof or therein, including any of those actions that constitutes a Change in Tax Law, whether or not such action was taken or brought with respect to the Issuers, or there is any change, amendment, clarification, application or interpretation of such laws, regulations, treaties or rulings, which in any such case, will result in a material probability that the Issuers will be required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes (each such action, change, amendment, clarification, application or interpretation, a “Tax Action”) (it being understood that such material probability will be deemed to result if the written opinion of independent tax counsel described in clause (b)(ii) below to such effect is delivered to the Second Lien Trustee), and, in each case, such obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Issuers (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new paying agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption as a result of a Change in Tax Law or Tax Action will be given (a) earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuers would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law or Tax Action and (b) unless, at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in effect. Prior to any redemption of Notes pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Issuers shall deliver to the Second Lien Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuers are entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of redemption have occurred and (ii) an opinion of independent tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Second Lien Trustee to the effect that the Issuers are entitled to redeem the Notes as a result of a Change in Tax Law or a Tax Action. The Second Lien Trustee will accept such Officers’ Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the holders.

(xiii)    Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary and Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount or liquidation preference at any time outstanding, together with Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof incurred pursuant to clause (xv) hereof, not greater than 100.0% of the net cash proceeds received by the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries since immediately after August 13, 2014 from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Parent or cash contributed to the capital of the Parent less the aggregate amount outstanding of Indebtedness Incurred on or after April 15, 2015, but prior to the Issue Date, pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(xiii) of the Existing April 2015 Senior Notes Indenture (in each case other than proceeds of Disqualified Stock or sales of Equity Interests to, or contributions received from the Parent, the Issuer or any of their Subsidiaries) to the extent such net cash proceeds or cash have not been applied to make Restricted Payments or to make other Investments, payments or exchanges pursuant to Section 4.04(b) or to make Permitted Investments (other than Permitted Investments specified in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of the definition thereof) (plus, in the case of any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof Incurred pursuant to clause (xv) below, the Additional Refinancing Amount) (it being understood that any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xiii) shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (xiii) but shall be deemed incurred for the purposes of Section 4.03(a) from and after the first date on which the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, could have incurred such Indebtedness under Section 4.03(a) without reliance upon this clause (xiii));
(xiv)    any guarantee by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other obligations of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary so long as the Incurrence of such Indebtedness Incurred by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Indenture; provided that (A) if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantee of the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, any such guarantee with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantee, as applicable, substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantee, as applicable, and (B) if such guarantee is of Indebtedness of the Issuers, such guarantee is Incurred in accordance with, or not in contravention of, Section 4.11 solely to the extent Section 4.11 is applicable;

(2)    to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (a) Indebtedness junior to the Notes or a Guarantee, as applicable, such Refinancing Indebtedness is junior to the Notes or the Guarantee, as applicable, or (b) Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, such Refinancing Indebtedness is Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock; and

(xxv)    Indebtedness of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary to or on behalf of any joint venture (regardless of the form of legal entity) that is not a Restricted Subsidiary arising in the ordinary course of business in connection with the cash management operations (including with respect to intercompany self-insurance arrangements) of the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries.
(c)    For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03:
(1)    in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xxv) of Section 4.03(b) above or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), then the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if Incurred at such later time), such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03; provided that Indebtedness outstanding under a Credit Agreement entered into on or prior to the Issue Date shall be incurred under clause (i) of Section 4.03(b) above and may not be reclassified;
(2)    at the time of Incurrence, the Issuer will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the categories of Indebtedness described in Section 4.03(a) or clauses (i) through (xxv) of Section 4.03(b) (or any portion thereof) without giving pro forma effect to the Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to any other clause or paragraph of Section 4.03 (or any portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to any such clause or paragraph (or any portion thereof); and
(3)    in connection with the Incurrence (including with respect to any Incurrence on a revolving basis pursuant to a revolving loan commitment) of any Indebtedness under clause (i)(y) of Section 4.03(b), the Parent or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may, by written notice to the Second Lien Trustee at any time prior to the actual Incurrence of such Indebtedness designate such Incurrence as having occurred on the date of such prior notice, and any related subsequent actual Incurrence will be deemed for all purposes under this Indenture to have been Incurred on the date of such prior notice.
Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, amortization of original issue discount, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03. Where any Indebtedness of any Person other than the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries is guaranteed by one or more of the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries, the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be Incurred or outstanding as a result of all such guarantees shall not exceed the amount of such guaranteed Indebtedness. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03.
For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount (or, if applicable, the liquidation preference, face amount, or the like) 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 or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt. However, if the Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and the refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of the refinancing, the U.S. dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount (or, if applicable, the liquidation preference, face amount, or the like) of the refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount (or, if applicable, the liquidation preference, face amount, or the like) of the Indebtedness being refinanced, plus any additional Indebtedness Incurred to pay premiums (including tender premiums), accrued and unpaid interest, expenses, underwriting discounts, commissions, defeasance costs and fees in connection therewith.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount (or, if applicable, the liquidation preference, face amount, or the like) of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which the respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of the refinancing.

(a)    The Parent and the Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of the other Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(i)    the payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration or giving notice thereof, if at the date of declaration or the giving notice of such irrevocable redemption, as applicable, such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

(A)    the declaration and payment of dividends on the Retired Capital Stock out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Parent or the Issuer) of Refunding Capital Stock; and

(iii)    the redemption, repurchase, defeasance, or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Parent, an Issuer or any Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, new Indebtedness of the Parent, an Issuer or a Guarantor which is Incurred in accordance with Section 4.03 so long as:
(A)    the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable), plus any accrued and unpaid interest, of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value (plus the amount of any premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument governing the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired, plus any tender premiums, plus any defeasance costs, fees, underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses incurred in connection therewith),
(B)    such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or the related Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be, at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value,
(C)    such Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity date equal to or later than the earlier of (x) the final scheduled maturity date of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired and (y) 91 days following the last maturity date of any Notes then outstanding, and
(D)    such Indebtedness has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time Incurred which is not less than the shorter of (x) the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity that would result if all payments of principal on the Subordinated Indebtedness being redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired that were due on or after the date that is one year following the last maturity date of any Notes then outstanding were instead due on such date;
(iv)    a Restricted Payment to pay for the repurchase, retirement or other acquisition for value of Equity Interests of the Parent held by any future, present or former employee, director, officer or consultant of the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent pursuant to any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or other agreement or arrangement; provided, however, that the aggregate Restricted Payments made under this clause (iv) do not exceed $50.0 million in any calendar year, with unused amounts in any calendar year being permitted to be carried over to succeeding calendar years; provided, further, however, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed:
(A)    the cash proceeds received by the Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries from the sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent to employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries that occurs after August 13, 2014 (provided that the amount of such cash proceeds utilized for any such repurchase, retirement, other acquisition or dividend will not increase the amount available for Restricted Payments under clause (2) of the definition of “Cumulative Credit”), plus

provided that the Parent or the Issuer may elect to apply all or any portion of the aggregate increase contemplated by clauses (A) and (B) above in any calendar year; provided, further, that cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from any present or former employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of the Parent will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this Section 4.04 or any other provision of this Indenture;
(v)    the declaration and payment of dividends or distributions to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary issued or incurred in accordance with Section 4.03;

SECTION 4.05    Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Parent and the Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any Material Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of an Issuer or any Material Subsidiary to:

(14)    any Restricted Investment not prohibited by Section 4.04 and any Permitted Investment; or

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05, (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on other Capital Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.
SECTION 4.06    Asset Sales.
(a)    The Parent and the Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of the other Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless (x) the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and (y) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of each of the following shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision:
(i)    any liabilities (as shown on the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or that are otherwise canceled or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee,
(ii)    any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received),
(iii)    Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Parent and each Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with the Asset Sale,
(iv)    consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) received after the Issue Date from Persons who are not the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, and
(v)    any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.06(a)(v) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $600.0 million and 4.0% of Total Assets 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 time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).
(b)    Within 365 days after the Parent’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option:
(i)    to repay (A) Indebtedness constituting Bank Indebtedness and other Pari Passu Indebtedness, in each case that is secured by a Lien permitted under this Indenture (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), (B) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, (C) Second Priority Notes Obligations or (D) other Pari Passu Indebtedness (provided that if the Parent, an Issuer or any Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under such Pari Passu Indebtedness under this clause (D), the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Second Priority Notes Obligations in accordance with Article III of this Indenture, through open-market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof or, in the event that the Notes were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event that the Notes were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, the pro rata principal amount of Notes), in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Parent or an Affiliate of the Parent; provided that the Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Second Lien Collateral may not be applied to repay any Indebtedness other than the Notes or other Pari Passu Indebtedness secured by a Lien (other than a Lien that is junior in priority to the Liens securing the Notes or any Guarantee) on such Second Lien Collateral, except as otherwise permitted under this covenant; provided, further, that if such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Second Lien Collateral, the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary has complied with the provisions of this Indenture and the Second Lien Collateral Documents; or
(ii)    to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent), assets, or property or capital expenditures, in each case (A) used or useful in a Similar Business or (B) that replace the properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale or to reimburse the cost of any of the foregoing incurred on or after the date on which the Asset Sale giving rise to such Net Proceeds was contractually committed.
In the case of Section 4.06(b)(ii), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment until the 12-month anniversary of the date of the receipt of such Net Proceeds; provided that in the event such binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds unless the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another binding commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within six months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment; provided, further, that the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary may only enter into a Second Commitment under the foregoing provision one time with respect to each Asset Sale and to the extent such Second Commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied or are not applied within 180 days of such Second Commitment, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.
Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b), shall be deemed to have been so applied whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $125.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all holders of Notes (and, at the option of the Issuer, to holders of any other Pari Passu Indebtedness secured by a Lien (other than a Lien that is junior in priority to the Liens securing the Notes or a Guarantee) on the Second Lien Collateral (the “Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness”)) (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (and any such Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness), that is at least $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event the Notes or any such Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest (or, in respect of such Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness), to, but excluding, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $125.0 million by mailing, or delivering electronically if the Notes are held by the Depository, the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Second Lien Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (and such Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness) tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes (and such Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness) surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Second Lien Trustee, upon receipt of written notice from the Issuer of the aggregate principal amount to be selected, shall select the Notes (but not such Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness) to be purchased in the manner described in Section 4.06(e). Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
(c)    The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.
(d)    [reserved].
(e)    If more Notes (and such Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Issuers are required to purchase, selection of such Notes (but not such Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness) for purchase shall be made by the Second Lien Trustee on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, by lot or by such other method as the Second Lien Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with the requirements of the Depository, if applicable); provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part. Selection of such Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be made pursuant to the terms of such Eligible Pari Passu Indebtedness.
(f)    Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by the Issuers by first class mail, postage prepaid, or delivered electronically if the Notes are held by the Depository, at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each holder of Notes at such holder’s registered address. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.
SECTION 4.07    Transactions with Affiliates.
(a)    The Parent and the Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of the other Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of transactions, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Parent (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, unless:
(i)    such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and
(ii)    with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, the Parent or the Issuer delivers to the Second Lien Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Parent or the Issuer, approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above.
(b)    The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to the following:

(ii)    Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.04 and Permitted Investments;
(iii)    the payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursement of expenses paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary;
(iv)    transactions in which the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, delivers to the Second Lien Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause (i) of Section 4.07(a);
(v)    payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to officers, directors, employees or consultants which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Parent or the Issuer in good faith;
(vi)    any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby as determined in good faith by the Issuer;
(vii)    the existence of, or the performance by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of its obligations under the terms of any stockholders or limited liability company agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date, and any transaction, agreement or arrangement described in the Offering Memorandum and, in each case, any amendment thereto or similar transactions, agreements or arrangements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing transaction, agreement or arrangement or under any similar transaction, agreement or arrangement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (vii) to the extent that the terms of any such existing transaction, agreement or arrangement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new transaction, agreement or arrangement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original transaction, agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date;
(viii)    the execution of the Transactions, and the payment of all fees, expenses, bonuses and awards related to the Transactions;
(ix)    (A) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or transactions otherwise relating to the purchase or sale of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, which are fair to the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management of the Parent or the Issuer, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party or (B) transactions with joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice or industry norm;
(x)    any transaction effected as part of a Securitization Financing;
(xi)    the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent to any Person;
(xii)    the issuances of securities or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock option and stock ownership plans or similar employee benefit plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent, or the Board of Directors of a Restricted Subsidiary, as appropriate, in good faith;
(xiii)    [reserved];
(xiv)    any contribution to the capital of the Parent;

(xxi)    [reserved]; and
(xxii)    any purchase by the Parent or its Affiliates of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that such purchases are on the same terms as such purchases by such Persons who are not the Parent’s Affiliates.
SECTION 4.08    Change of Control.
(a)    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in this Section 4.08; provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuers shall not be obligated to purchase any Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08 in the event that they have previously or concurrently elected to redeem such Notes in accordance with Article III of this Indenture. In the event that at the time of such Change of Control, the terms of the Bank Indebtedness restrict or prohibit the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08, then prior to the mailing of the notice to holders provided for in Section 4.08(b) but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control with respect to the Notes, the Issuers shall: (i) repay in full all Bank Indebtedness or, if doing so will allow the purchase of the Notes, offer to repay in full all Bank Indebtedness and repay the Bank Indebtedness of each lender and/or note-holder who has accepted such offer; or (ii) obtain the requisite consent under the agreements governing the Bank Indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the Notes as provided for in Section 4.08(b).
(b)    Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Issuers have exercised their right to redeem the Notes by delivery of a notice of redemption in accordance with Article III of this Indenture, the Issuer shall mail, or deliver electronically if the Notes are held by DTC, a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder of Notes with a copy to the Second Lien Trustee stating:
(i)    that a Change of Control has occurred and that such holder has the right to require the Issuers to repurchase such holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date);

The holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Second Lien Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the holder and a statement that such holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.
(d)    On the purchase date, all Notes purchased by the Issuers under this Section 4.08 shall be delivered to the Second Lien Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuers shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the holders entitled thereto (subject to the right of holders of record on a Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date).
(e)    A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for such Change of Control at the time of making of such Change of Control Offer.
(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if 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 Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.
(g)    Notes repurchased by the Issuers pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will have the status of Notes issued but not outstanding or will be retired and canceled at the option of the Issuers. Notes purchased by a third party pursuant to the preceding clause (f) and clause (i) below will have the status of Notes issued and outstanding.
(h)    The Issuers shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue thereof.
(i)    If holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers as described above, purchase all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Issuers or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 15 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption. Any such redemption shall be effected pursuant to Article III.
SECTION 4.09    Compliance Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver to the Second Lien Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer, beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 25, 2020, an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the Issuer they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If any Officer does, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. Except with respect to receipt of payments of principal and interest on the Notes and any Default or Event of Default information contained in the Officers’ Certificate delivered to it pursuant to this Section 4.09, the Second Lien Trustee shall have no duty to review, ascertain or confirm the Issuer’s compliance with or the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made in this Indenture.
SECTION 4.10    Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Second Lien Trustee, the Issuers shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.
SECTION 4.11    Future Guarantors.
(a)    The Parent shall cause each of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries that is not an Excluded Subsidiary and that guarantees or becomes a borrower under the Credit Agreement or that guarantees any other Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Parent, an Issuer or any of the Guarantors to execute and deliver to the Second Lien Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto pursuant to which such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations.
(b)    Each Guarantee will be subject to such prudential limitations as the Issuer may in good faith determine to add to the terms of such Guarantee and limitations under applicable law and limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the applicable Guarantor without (i) rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or under any applicable mandatory corporate law, (ii) resulting in any breach of corporate benefit, financial assistance, fraudulent preference, thin capitalization laws, retention of title claims, capital maintenance rules, general statutory limitations, or the laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions) of any applicable jurisdiction or any similar principles which may limit the ability of any Foreign Subsidiary to provide a guarantee or may require that the guarantee be limited by an amount or scope or otherwise or (iii) resulting, without corresponding limitations, in any (x) material risk to the officers of the applicable Guarantor of contravention of their fiduciary duties or any legal prohibition and/or (y) risk to the officers of the applicable Guarantor of civil or criminal liability (all such limitations applicable to a given Guarantee, the “Applicable Guarantee Limitations”).
SECTION 4.12    Liens.
(a)    The Parent and the Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of the other Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) on any asset or property of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary securing Indebtedness of the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any Lien shall be permitted on any asset or property that is not Second Lien Collateral if the Notes and the Guarantees are equally and ratably secured with (or, at the Issuers’ election, on a senior basis to) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien; provided that any such security shall be on a senior basis to any such Indebtedness that is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes.
(b)    Any Lien that is granted to secure the Notes or any Guarantee under Section 4.12(a) shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes or such Guarantee.
(c)    For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (i) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (ii) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a), the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if Incurred at such later time), such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant and will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien (or any portion thereof) in one of the categories of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) and, in such event, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) will be treated as being Incurred or existing pursuant to only such clause or clauses (or any portion thereof) or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) without giving pro forma effect to such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Liens or Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to any other clause or paragraph.
(d)    With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness 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 increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of Capital Stock (other than Preferred Stock) of the Parent, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (11) of the definition of “Indebtedness.”
SECTION 4.13    Limitations on Activities of the US Co-Issuer. The US Co-Issuer shall not be permitted to and the Issuer will cause the US Co-Issuer not to hold any material assets, become liable for any material obligations, engage in any trade or business, or conduct any business activity, other than (1) the issuance of its Equity Interests to the Issuer or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, (2) the Incurrence of Indebtedness as a co-obligor or guarantor, as the case may be, of the Notes and any other Indebtedness that is permitted to be Incurred under Section 4.03; and (3) activities incidental thereto.

The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Second Lien Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Second Lien Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Second Lien Trustee as set forth in Section 14.01.
(b)    The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers of their obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Second Lien Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
(c)    The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Second Lien Trustee or its agent as such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.04.
SECTION 4.15    Existence. The Issuers shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect their legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of their business; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any transaction permitted under Section 5.01; and provided, further, that the Issuers shall not be required to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect any such right, license, permit, privilege, franchise or legal existence if (i) the Issuers shall determine in good faith the preservation, renewal or keeping in full force and effect thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuers or (ii) the failure to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect any such right, license, permit, privilege, franchise or legal existence is not adverse in any material respect to the holders of the Notes.
SECTION 4.16    Covenant Suspension. If on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, then, beginning on that day (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), and subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.11 and 5.01(a)(iv) (collectively the “Suspended Covenants”).
In the event that the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events.
The Issuer shall provide the Second Lien Trustee with written notice of each Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence thereof.
Additionally, during a Suspension Period the Parent will no longer be permitted to designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless the Parent would have been permitted to designate such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if a Suspension Period had not been in effect for any period and, following the Reversion Date, such designation shall be deemed to have created an Investment pursuant to Section 4.04(c) at the time of such designation.
On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or (b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would be permitted to be Incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or (b), such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iii). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 will be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period (except to the extent expressly set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph). Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a) (except to the extent expressly set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph). As described above, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Parent or the Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. Within 30 days of such Reversion Date, the Parent and the Issuers must comply with the terms of Section 4.11.
For purposes of Section 4.05, on the Reversion Date, any consensual encumbrances or consensual restrictions of the type specified in Section 4.05(a) or 4.05(b) thereof entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect on the Issue Date, so that they are permitted under Section 4.05(1)(A).
For purposes of Section 4.07, any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to a contract, agreement, loan, advance or guaranty with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect as of the Issue Date for purposes of Section 4.07(b)(vi).
For purposes of Section 4.06, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.
SECTION 4.17    Additional Amounts.
(a)    All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuers or any Guarantor under or with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes unless required by law. If any such withholding or deduction is required for or on account of Taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or under any Guarantee (including payments of principal, redemption price, interest or premium (if any)), the Issuers or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each beneficial owner of Notes (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount the beneficial owner would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:
(i)    any Tax, to the extent such Tax would not have been imposed but for the existence of any actual or deemed present or former connection between the holder or the beneficial owner of such Notes and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including being or having been a national, citizen or resident of, carrying on a business in, being or having been physically present in or having or having had a permanent establishment in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) other than a connection arising solely from the acquisition, ownership, holding or disposition of the Notes, the enforcement of rights under the Notes or any Guarantee or the receipt of payments under or in respect of the Notes or any Guarantee;
(ii)    any Tax, to the extent such Tax is imposed or withheld as a result of the failure of the holder or beneficial owner of the Notes to satisfy any certification, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of such holder or beneficial owner which is required by applicable law, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, all or part of such Tax (including, without limitation, a certification that the holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent such holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to provide such certification or other documentation;
(iii)    any Tax that would not have been imposed if the presentation of Notes (where presentation is required) for payment had occurred within 30 days after the date such payment was due and payable or was duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the note been presented within such 30-day period);
(iv)    any estate, inheritance, gift, value added, sales or similar Tax;
(v)    any Tax, to the extent such Tax imposed in respect of a holder or beneficial owner and required to be withheld or deducted pursuant to the European Union Directive on the taxation of savings income (the “Directive”) that was adopted by the ECOFIN Council of the European Union (the Counsel of EU finance and economic ministers) on June 3, 2003, or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN meeting of November 26-27, 2000, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, the Directive or the Luxembourg law of December 23, 2005;
(vi)    any Tax that could have been avoided by the presentation of Notes (where presentation is required) for payment to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union;
(vii)    any Tax payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments under, or with respect to, the Notes or the Guarantee;
(viii)    any withholding or deduction required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the Issue Date (or any amended or successor version), any regulations or agreements thereunder, official interpretations thereof, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code; or
(ix)    any combination of clauses (i) through (viii) above.
(b)    The applicable withholding agent will (i) make any required withholding or deduction; and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuers or any Guarantor, as applicable, will use all reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and will provide such certified copies to the Second Lien Trustee. If certified copies of such tax receipts are not reasonably obtainable, the Issuers or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall provide the Second Lien Trustee with other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Second Lien Trustee. Such certified copies or other evidence shall be made available to holders upon request.
(c)    Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors will indemnify and hold harmless each holder and beneficial owner from and against any Taxes withheld or deducted (other than Taxes excluded by clauses (i) through (ix) above) that are levied or imposed on a holder or beneficial owner (x) as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes or (y) with respect to any indemnification payments under the foregoing clause (x) or this clause (y), such that the net amount received by such holder or beneficial owner after such indemnification payments will not be less than the net amount the holder or beneficial owner would have received if the Taxes described in clauses (x) and (y) above had not been imposed.
(d)    Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, premium (if any) or interest or of any other amount payable under or with respect to any of the Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
(e)    The Issuers will pay any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary Taxes, or any other excise, property or similar Taxes, that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, issuance, delivery, registration or enforcement of the Notes, any Guarantee, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees (“Documentary Taxes”); provided that the Issuer will not be liable for any Luxembourg registration duties, which would become payable as a result of the registration, by any holder, of the documents relating to the Notes, any Guarantee, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument referred to herein or therein, when such registration is not required to enforce that holder’s rights under the documents relating to the Notes, any Guarantee, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument referred to herein or therein.
(f)    The obligation to pay Additional Amounts and Documentary Taxes under the terms and conditions described above will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture, and will apply mutatis mutandis to any successor to the Issuers or any Guarantor and to any jurisdiction in which any such successor is incorporated, organized, resident or engaged in business for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which any such successor makes payment on the Notes or any Guarantee, and any political subdivision or Taxing Authority thereof or therein.
SECTION 4.18    After-Acquired Collateral.
(a)    If any asset is acquired by any Issuer or Guarantor after the Issue Date or owned by an entity at the time it becomes a Guarantor (in each case other than (x) assets constituting Second Lien Collateral under a Second Lien Collateral Document that become subject to the Lien of such Second Lien Collateral Document upon acquisition thereof, (y) assets constituting Excluded Property or Excluded Securities and (z) assets of any Issuer or Guarantor organized outside the United States or Luxembourg for so long as, and to the extent with respect to this clause (z), excluded by reason of the final paragraph of the definition of the term “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”), such Issuer or Guarantor, as applicable, will (i) notify the Second Lien Collateral Agent of such acquisition or ownership and (ii) subject (where applicable) to the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, cause such asset to be subjected to a Lien (subject to any Permitted Liens) securing the Second Priority Notes Obligations by, and take, and cause the Issuers and Guarantors to take, such actions as shall be required to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such asset, including actions described in Section 4.19.
(b)    If any Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor after the Issue Date, then the Issuers and the Guarantors will cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary and with respect to any Equity Interest in or Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary owned by or on behalf of any Issuer or Guarantor.
SECTION 4.19    Further Assurances. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents), that the Second Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request (including, without limitation, those required by applicable law), to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied, all at the expense of the Issuers and the Guarantors, and provide to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, from time to time upon reasonable request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Second Lien Collateral Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Second Lien Collateral Documents.
ARTICLE V    

SUCCESSOR COMPANY
SECTION 5.01    When Issuers and Guarantors May Merge or Transfer Assets.
(a)    The Issuer may not, directly or indirectly, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up or convert into (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:
(i)    the Issuer is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, winding up or conversion (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof, any member state of the European Union or Switzerland (collectively, the “Permitted Jurisdictions”, and the Issuer or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”); provided that in the event that the Successor Company is not a corporation or limited liability company (or equivalent of a corporation or limited liability company in any Permitted Jurisdiction listed in this clause (i)), a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation or limited liability company (or such equivalent);
(ii)    the Successor Company (if other than the Issuer) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Second Lien Collateral Documents pursuant to supplemental indentures or other applicable documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Second Lien Trustee and the Second Lien Collateral Agent;
(iii)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(iv)    immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), either
(1)    the Successor Company would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.03(a); or
(2)    the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Parent would be no less than such ratio immediately prior to such transaction;
(v)    if the Issuer is not the Successor Company, each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; and
(vi)    the Successor Company shall have delivered to the Second Lien Trustee and the Second Lien Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indentures (if any) comply with this Indenture.
The Successor Company (if other than the Issuer) will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Issuer under this Indenture, the Notes and the Second Lien Collateral Documents, and in such event the Issuer will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Second Lien Collateral Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 5.01(a), (A) the Issuer may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that, unless after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Issuer is the Successor Company, and (B) the Issuer may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in any Permitted Jurisdiction or may convert into a corporation, partnership or limited liability company (or similar entity), so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. This Section 5.01 will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Restricted Subsidiaries.
(b)    Subject to the provisions of Section 12.02(b), no Guarantor nor the US Co-Issuer shall, and the Parent shall not permit any such Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer to, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up or convert into (whether or not such Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person unless:
(i)    either (a) such Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer, as applicable, is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, winding up or conversion (if other than such Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer, as applicable) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a company, corporation, partnership or limited liability company or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of a Permitted Jurisdiction (except that in the case of the US Co-Issuer, such surviving Person shall be organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof) (such Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Person”) and the Successor Person (if other than such Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer, as applicable) expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer, as applicable, under this Indenture and the Notes or its Guarantee, as applicable, pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other applicable documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Second Lien Trustee, or (b) in respect of any Guarantor other than the Parent, such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition or consolidation, amalgamation or merger is not in violation of Section 4.06; and
(ii)    the Successor Person (if other than such Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer, as applicable) shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Second Lien Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.
Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Successor Person (if other than such Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer, as applicable) will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer, as applicable, under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantee, as applicable, and such Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer, as applicable, will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture, the Notes or its Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Guarantor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating such Guarantor in a Permitted Jurisdiction or may convert into a limited liability company, corporation, partnership or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of any Permitted Jurisdiction so long as the amount of Indebtedness of such Guarantor is not increased thereby and (2) a Guarantor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with an Issuer or another Guarantor.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Guarantor may consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up or convert into, liquidate, dissolve, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to an Issuer or any Guarantor.
ARTICLE VI    

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
SECTION 6.01    Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if:
(a)    there is a default in any payment of interest on any Note when due, and such default continues for a period of 30 days,
(b)    there is a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, of any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise,
(c)    there is a failure by the Parent for 90 days after receipt of written notice given by the Second Lien Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (with a copy to the Second Lien Trustee) to comply with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements in Section 4.02,
(d)    there is a failure by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary for 60 days after written notice given by the Second Lien Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (with a copy to the Second Lien Trustee) to comply with its other obligations, covenants or agreements (other than a default referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above) contained in the Notes or this Indenture,
(e)    there is a failure by the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $125.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent,
(f)    the Parent or a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
(i)    commences a voluntary case;
(ii)    consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;
(iii)    consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or
(iv)    makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency,
(g)    a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(i)    is for relief against the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;
(ii)    appoints a Custodian of the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property;
(iii)    orders the winding up or liquidation of the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary; or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and, in each case, the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days,
(h)    there is a failure by the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $125.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days,
(i)    the Guarantee of the Parent or a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) with respect to the Notes ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or the Parent or any other Guarantor that qualifies as a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or any Guarantee with respect to the Notes and such Default continues for 10 days,
(j)    unless such Liens have been released in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture or other Note Documents, Liens securing the Second Priority Notes Obligations with respect to a material portion of the Second Lien Collateral cease to be valid, perfected or enforceable, or the Issuer shall assert or any Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such Lien is invalid, unperfected or unenforceable and, in the case of any such Guarantor, the Issuer fail to cause such Guarantor to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Issuer have actual knowledge of such assertions; provided that no Event of Default shall occur under this clause (j) if the Issuers and the Guarantors cooperate with the Second Lien Collateral Agent to replace or perfect such Lien, such Lien is promptly replaced or perfected (as needed) and the rights, powers and privileges of the Second Priority Notes Secured Parties are not materially adversely affected by such replacement or perfection; or

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
However, a default under clauses (c), (d) or (k) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Second Lien Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes notify the Parent and Issuer, with a copy to the Second Lien Trustee, of the default and neither the Parent nor the Issuers cure such default within the time specified in clauses (c), (d) or (k) hereof after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”
The Issuer shall deliver to the Second Lien Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Default or Event of Default (unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured before the end of such 30-day period), the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
The term “Bankruptcy Law” means the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
SECTION 6.02    Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) hereof with respect to the Issuers) occurs and is continuing, the Second Lien Trustee by notice to the Issuers or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuers (with a copy to the Second Lien Trustee) may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuers occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Second Lien Trustee or any holders. In addition, upon the acceleration of the Notes in connection with an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (b), (f) or (g) prior to April 15, 2024, an amount equal to the Applicable Premium or optional redemption premium, as applicable, that would have been payable in connection with an optional redemption of the Notes at the time of the occurrence of such acceleration will become and be immediately due and payable with respect to all Notes without any declaration or other act on the part of the Second Lien Trustee or any holders of the Notes. The amounts described in the preceding sentence are intended to be liquidated damages and not unmatured interest or a penalty. The holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration and its consequences if:
(a)    all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; and
(b)    the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Second Lien Trustee or the holders of any of the Notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Second Lien Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged, (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.
SECTION 6.03    Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Second Lien Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Second Lien Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Second Lien Trustee or any holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative.
SECTION 6.04    Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Second Lien Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each holder of Notes affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Issuers, the Second Lien Trustee and the holders of Notes will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.
SECTION 6.05    Control by Majority. The holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Second Lien Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Second Lien Trustee with respect to the Notes. The Second Lien Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Second Lien Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder of the Notes or that would involve the Second Lien Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Second Lien Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any action or forbearance on the part of a holder of a Note is unduly preferential or prejudicial to any other holder of a Note. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Second Lien Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
SECTION 6.06    Limitation on Suits.
(a)    Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:
(i)    such holder has previously given the Second Lien Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing with respect to such holder’s Notes,
(ii)    holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Second Lien Trustee to pursue the remedy,

(v)    in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Second Lien Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by the immediately preceding sentence with respect to a legal defeasance need not be delivered if all of the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Second Lien Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Second Lien Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Second Lien Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer;
(vi)    such exercise does not impair the right of any holder of the Notes to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefore or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s Notes;
(vii)    in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Second Lien Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and
(viii)    the Issuer delivers to the Second Lien Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article VIII have been complied with.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Second Lien Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuers upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors, and the Second Lien Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Issuer or the Second Lien Trustee of consents by the holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Second Lien Trustee.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer may require the holder of such Note to deliver it to the Second Lien Trustee. The Second Lien Trustee may place an appropriate notation on such Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Second Lien Trustee so determine, the Issuer in exchange for such Note shall issue and, upon written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer, the Second Lien Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

In signing such amendment, the Second Lien Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, (i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and, with respect to any supplement relating to any Additional Securities, that such supplement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and any Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof, (iii) with respect to any supplement relating to any Additional Securities, a copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors, certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Issuer, authorizing the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver and (iv) if such amendment, supplement or waiver is executed pursuant to Section 9.02, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Second Lien Trustee and the Second Lien Collateral Agent of the consent of the holders of Notes required to consent thereto.

GUARANTEE
SECTION 12.01    Guarantee.
(a)    Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally guarantees, on a secured, unsubordinated basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each holder and to the Second Lien Trustee and its successors and assigns the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, however, that any Guarantee provided by the Cadence IP Licensee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Cadence IP Licensee’s obligations in respect of any secured Bank Indebtedness which by its terms requires such subordination. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from any Guarantor, and that each Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article XII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.
(b)    Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantee of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any holder or the Second Lien Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuers or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any holder or the Second Lien Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or each Guarantor; (v) the failure of any holder or Second Lien Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of each Guarantor, except as provided in Section 12.02(b). Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its Guarantee hereunder divided among the Guarantors, such that such Guarantor’s Guarantee would be less than the full amount claimed.
(c)    Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Issuers first be used and depleted as payment of the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture and the Issuers’ or such Guarantor’s Guarantee hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuers be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor.
(d)    Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment and, performance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any holder or the Second Lien Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(e)    The Guarantee of each Guarantor is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article XII, equal in right of payment to all existing and future Pari Passu Indebtedness, senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor.
(f)    Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 12.02 and 12.06, the Guarantee of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantee of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any holder or the Second Lien Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.
(g)    Except as expressly set forth in Section 12.02(b), each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder or the Second Lien Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of an Issuer or otherwise.
(h)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any holder or the Second Lien Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Second Lien Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the holders or the Second Lien Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuers to the holders and the Second Lien Trustee.
(i)    Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the holders and the Second Lien Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VI, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purposes of this Section 12.01.
(j)    Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Second Lien Trustee in enforcing any rights under this Section 12.01.
(k)    Upon request of the Second Lien Trustee, each Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.
SECTION 12.02    Limitation on Liability.
(a)    Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by each Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by the applicable Guarantor without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or under any applicable mandatory corporate law or capital maintenance or corporate benefit rules applicable to guarantees for obligations of affiliates. In addition, each Guarantee is subject to the Applicable Guarantee Limitations applicable thereto, if any.
(b)    A Guarantee as to any Guarantor (other than, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), a Guarantee of the Parent) shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Guarantor shall be automatically released from all obligations under this Article XII upon:
(i)    the sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer (including through merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) of the Capital Stock (including any sale, disposition or other transfer following which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary), of the applicable Guarantor to a Person that is not an Issuer or a Guarantor if such sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer is made in a manner not in violation of this Indenture;
(ii)    the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;
(iii)    the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of the Indebtedness under (i) the Credit Agreement and (ii) any Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Parent, any Issuer or any of the other Guarantors which created the obligation to guarantee the Notes;
(iv)    the Issuers’ exercise of their legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under Article VIII or if the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or
(v)    such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Subsidiary as a result of any foreclosure of any pledge or security interest securing Bank Indebtedness or other exercise of remedies in respect thereof.
(c)    The Guarantee (if any) of the Parent will only be released upon (iii) and (iv) above or upon the disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent in accordance with Section 5.01 in a transaction or series of related transactions that constitutes a Change of Control.
SECTION 12.03    [Intentionally Omitted].
SECTION 12.04    Successors and Assigns. This Article XII shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors and assigns of the Second Lien Trustee and the holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any holder or the Second Lien Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.
SECTION 12.05    No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Second Lien Trustee or the holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XII shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Second Lien Trustee and the holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XII at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
SECTION 12.06    Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XII, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Second Lien Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

(b)    In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relating to the Cadence IP Licensee or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for involuntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Cadence IP Licensee, or any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Cadence IP Licensee that violates the terms of, or would result in an event of default under, any document governing or evidencing any Senior Indebtedness, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, in each case in any jurisdiction, then, if an event of default under any Senior Indebtedness has occurred and is continuing (including as a result of such event), (x) the Payoff Date shall have occurred before the Second Lien Trustee or any noteholder shall be entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make any demand for, any payment from the Cadence IP Licensee on account of the Cadence IP Licensee’s Guarantee and (y) until the Payoff Date shall have occurred, any such payment or distribution to which the Second Lien Trustee or any noteholder would otherwise be entitled, whether in cash, property or securities (other than a payment of debt securities of the Cadence IP Licensee that are subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness to at least the same extent as Cadence IP Licensee’s Guarantee is subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (such securities being hereinafter referred to as “Restructured Debt Securities”)) shall instead be made to the applicable Senior Indebtedness Representative.
(c)    If any event of default under any document governing or evidencing any Senior Indebtedness has occurred and is continuing and after notice from the applicable Senior Indebtedness Representative (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given in the case of any event of default described in Section 12.12(b)), then until the earliest to occur of (x) the Payoff Date, (y) the date on which such event of default shall have been cured or waived and (z) the date on which such Senior Indebtedness Representative shall have rescinded such notice, no payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities) shall be made by or on behalf of the Cadence IP Licensee, or any other person on its behalf, with respect to the Cadence IP Licensee’s Guarantee.
(d)    If any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities), and whether directly, by purchase, redemption, exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise, with respect to the Cadence IP Licensee’s Guarantee shall (despite the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 12.12) be received by the Second Lien Trustee or any noteholder in violation of Sections 12.12(b) or (c) above prior to the occurrence of the Payoff Date, such payment or distribution shall be held by the Second Lien Trustee or such note-holder, as applicable, in trust (segregated from other property of the Second Lien Trustee or such noteholder, as applicable) for the benefit of each applicable Senior Indebtedness Representative, and shall be paid over or delivered to any applicable Senior Indebtedness Representatives promptly upon receipt.
(e)    The Second Lien Trustee and each noteholder waive the right to compel that any property of the Cadence IP Licensee or any property of any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person be applied in any particular order to discharge such Senior Indebtedness. The Second Lien Trustee and each noteholder expressly waive the right to require any Senior Indebtedness Representative or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness to proceed against the Cadence IP Licensee, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person, or to pursue any other remedy in its or their power that the Second Lien Trustee or such noteholder, as applicable, cannot pursue and that would lighten burden of the Second Lien Trustee or such noteholder, as applicable, notwithstanding that the failure of any Senior Indebtedness Representative or any such other holder to do so may thereby prejudice the Second Lien Trustee or such noteholder. The Second Lien Trustee and each noteholder agree that it shall not be discharged, exonerated or have its obligations hereunder reduced by the delay of any Senior Indebtedness Representative or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness in proceeding against or enforcing any remedy against the Cadence IP Licensee, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person; by any Senior Indebtedness Representative or any holder of Senior Indebtedness releasing the Cadence IP Licensee, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person from all or any part of the Senior Indebtedness; or by the discharge of the Cadence IP Licensee, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person by an operation of law or otherwise, with or without the intervention or omission of any Senior Indebtedness Representative or any such holder.
(f)    The Second Lien Trustee and each noteholder waive all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any Senior Indebtedness Representative or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, even though that election of remedies, including any nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any property securing any Senior Indebtedness, has impaired the value of the rights of the Second Lien Trustee or such noteholder, as applicable, of subrogation, reimbursement, or contribution against the Cadence IP Licensee, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person. Each of the Second Lien Trustee and each noteholder expressly waives any rights or defenses it may have by reason of protection afforded to the Cadence IP Licensee, any guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness or any other person with respect to the Senior Indebtedness pursuant to any anti deficiency laws or other laws of similar import that limit or discharge the principal debtor’s indebtedness upon judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of property or assets securing any Senior Indebtedness.
(g)    Each of the Second Lien Trustee and each noteholder agrees that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against it, and without notice to or further assent by it, any demand for payment of any Senior Indebtedness made by a Senior Indebtedness Representative or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness may be rescinded in whole or in part by such Senior Indebtedness Representative or such holder, and any Senior Indebtedness may be continued, and any Senior Indebtedness or the liability of the Second Lien Trustee or any noteholder, any guarantor thereof or any other person obligated thereunder, or any right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, increased, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Senior Indebtedness Representative or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, in each case without notice to or further assent by the Second Lien Trustee or such noteholder, as applicable, which will remain bound hereunder, and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination provided for in this Section 12.12.
(h)    The Second Lien Trustee and each noteholder waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, increase or accrual of any Senior Indebtedness, and any and all notice of or proof of reliance by holders of Senior Indebtedness upon the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 12.12. The Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have been created, contracted or incurred, and the consent to create the obligations of the Second Lien Trustee and each noteholder under this Section 12.12 shall be deemed conclusively to have been given, in reliance upon the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 12.12.
(i)    To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Second Lien Trustee and each noteholder waives any claim it might have against any Senior Indebtedness Representative or any other holder of Senior Indebtedness with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of such Senior Indebtedness Representative or any such holder, or any of their controlled and controlling Affiliates and their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, advisors and members and controlled and controlling Affiliates (collectively, the “Related Parties”), with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the documents governing or evidencing such Senior Indebtedness, except to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Senior Indebtedness Representative or any such holder, as the case may be, or any of its Related Parties, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment. None of any Senior Indebtedness Representative, any other holder of Senior Indebtedness or any of their Related Parties shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any guarantee of any Senior Indebtedness, or for any delay in doing so, or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any property upon the request of the Cadence IP Licensee, the Second Lien Trustee, any noteholder or any other person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any such guarantee or any other property.
(j)    Subject to the occurrence of the Payoff Date, the Second Lien Trustee and the noteholders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Cadence IP Licensee applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the Payoff Date, and for the purpose of such subrogation no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness by or on behalf of the Cadence IP Licensee or by or on behalf of the Second Lien Trustee or any noteholder by virtue of this Section 12.12 which otherwise would have been made to the Second Lien Trustee or any noteholder shall, as between the Cadence IP Licensee, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Second Lien Trustee and the noteholders, be deemed to be payment by the Cadence IP Licensee to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 12.12 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Second Lien Trustee and the noteholders, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.
(k)    The Second Lien Trustee, each noteholder and the Cadence IP Licensee hereby agree that the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 12.12 are for the benefit of each Senior Indebtedness Representative and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness. Each Senior Indebtedness Representative and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness are beneficiaries of this Section 12.12 to the same extent as if they were parties hereto and each applicable Senior Indebtedness Representative may, on behalf of itself and such other holders, proceed to enforce the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 12.12.
(l)    All rights and interests of each Senior Indebtedness Representative and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness hereunder, and the subordination provisions and the related agreements of the Cadence IP Licensee set forth in this Section 12.12, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any document governing or evidencing any Senior Indebtedness;
(ii)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Senior Indebtedness or any amendment or waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of, or consent to departure from any document governing or evidencing any Senior Indebtedness;
(iii)    any release, amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of or consent to departure from, any guarantee by the Cadence IP Licensee of any Senior Indebtedness; or
(iv)    any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Cadence IP Licensee in respect of any Senior Indebtedness or of the Cadence IP Licensee, the Second Lien Trustee or any noteholder in respect of the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 12.12.
(m)    Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 12.12 is intended to or will impair, as between the Cadence IP Licensee, on the one hand, and the Second Lien Trustee and the noteholders, on the other hand, the obligations of the Cadence IP Licensee, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Second Lien Trustee and the noteholders any amount owing under its Guarantee as and when due and payable in accordance with the terms thereof, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of the Second Lien Trustee or any noteholder and other creditors of the Cadence IP Licensee other than each Senior Indebtedness Representative and the other holders of Senior Indebtedness.
(n)    Until the Payoff Date shall have occurred, no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provisions of this Section 12.12 shall be effective unless each Senior Indebtedness Representative shall have provided its prior written consent to such amendment, modification, waiver or consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(o)    If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to Senior Indebtedness theretofore made by the Cadence IP Licensee or any other person or entity is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holders of the Senior Indebtedness for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Cadence IP Licensee or such other person or entity), the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 12.12 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been made.
(p)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust under Article VIII by the Second Lien Trustee and deposited at a time when permitted by the subordination provisions of this Section 12.12 for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 12.12, and none of the noteholders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to any holder of Senior Indebtedness.

None of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Second Lien Trustee or any holder of the Notes to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, any of the Note Documents or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Issuer or Guarantor or any Affiliates of any Issuer or Guarantor.

(e)    The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of the Second Lien Collateral Agent has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.
(f)    The Second Lien Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Second Lien Trustee and the Issuers, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Second Lien Collateral Agent. If the Second Lien Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the 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 Second Lien Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Second Lien Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Second Lien Trustee, subject to the consent of the Issuers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuers pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Second Lien Collateral Agent, and the term “Second Lien Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Second Lien Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Second Lien Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 13.08 (and Section 7.07) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Second Lien Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

Should the Second Lien Trustee obtain possession of any such Second Lien Collateral, the Second Lien Trustee shall notify the Second Lien Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, deliver such Collateral to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Second Lien Collateral in accordance with the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s instructions.
(k)    The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second Lien Trustee or any of the holders of the Notes to assure that the Second Lien Collateral exists or is owned by any Issuer or Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Second Lien Collateral Documents has been properly and completely 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 Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to any Note Document other than pursuant to the instructions of the Second Lien Trustee or the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Second Lien Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Second Lien Trustee or any holder of any of the Notes as to any of the foregoing.
(l)    If any Issuer or Guarantor incurs any obligations in respect of First Priority Obligations at any time when the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement is not in effect and delivers to the Second Lien Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Second Lien Collateral Agent to enter into a First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Priority Obligations so incurred, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuers, including legal fees and expenses of the Second Lien Collateral Agent), bind the holders of the Notes on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder. The Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Trustee are authorized to, and, upon request of the Issuer, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Trustee shall, enter into (i) an equal and ratable intercreditor agreement with (together with other relevant Persons) any authorized representative of any Future Second Lien Indebtedness, which intercreditor agreement shall govern intercreditor arrangements among the Second Priority Obligations consistent with market terms (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) (any such agreement, a “Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement”) and (ii) a senior priority/junior priority intercreditor agreement with (together with other relevant Persons) any collateral agent and/or other authorized representative of any Junior Priority Indebtedness, which intercreditor agreement shall provide for intercreditor arrangements with respect to such Junior Priority Indebtedness that are not less favorable to the holders of the Notes in any material respect than the intercreditor arrangements set forth in the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement (provided that the Second Priority Obligations shall be treated as the senior obligations thereunder) (any such agreement, a “Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement”). Holders of the Notes shall be deemed to have agreed to and accepted the terms of such other intercreditor arrangements complying with the requirements of the indenture by their acceptance of the Notes.
(m)    No provision of any Note Document shall require the Second Lien Collateral Agent 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 of the Notes or the Second Lien Trustee if it shall not have received indemnity satisfactory to the Second Lien Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Second Lien Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Note Documents, in the event the Second Lien Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Second Lien Collateral, the Second Lien 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 Second Lien Collateral Agent has determined that the Second Lien Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Second Lien Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Second Lien Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the holders of the Notes in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, protecting the Second Lien Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this paragraph (m) if it reasonably no longer deems any indemnity, security or undertaking to be sufficient.
(n)    The Second Lien Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with any Note Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable 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 Second Lien Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuers (and money held in trust by the Second Lien Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law 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 Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.
(o)    The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not 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. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential 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 Second Lien Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Issuer or Guarantor under any Note Documents. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the holders of the Notes or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Note Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent under or in connection with, any Note; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Note Document of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Second Lien Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Second Priority Notes Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Issuer or Guarantor; or for any failure of any Issuer or Guarantor to perform its Second Priority Notes Obligations under the Note Documents. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any holder of the Notes or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Issuer or Guarantor of any terms of the Note Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in the Note Documents. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under the Note Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the holders of the Notes with respect to the administration of the Note Documents.
(q)    The parties hereto and the holders of the Notes hereby agree and acknowledge that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not 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 the Note Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the holders of the Notes hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under the Note Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Second Lien Collateral Agent in the Second Lien Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Second Lien Collateral.
(r)    Upon the receipt by the Second Lien Collateral Agent of a written request of the Issuers signed by one Officer of each Issuer (a “Collateral Document Order”), the Second Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any holder of the Notes or the Second Lien Trustee, any Second Lien Collateral Document to be executed after the Issue Date. Such Collateral Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Collateral Document Order referred to in, this Section 13.08(r), and (ii) instruct the Second Lien Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Second Lien Collateral Document. Any such execution of a Second Lien Collateral Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuers. The holders of the Notes, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Second Lien Collateral Agent to execute such Second Lien Collateral Documents.
(s)    Subject to the provisions of the applicable Second Lien Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, each holder of the Notes, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreements and the Second Lien Collateral Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof.
(t)    After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Second Lien Trustee may, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, direct the Second Lien Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by the Note Documents.

(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any other Note Document, in no event shall the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the other Note Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments, nor shall the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor the Second Lien Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Second Lien Collateral Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.
(w)    Before the Second Lien Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of any Issuer or Guarantor, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 14.04. The Second Lien 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.
(x)    The Issuers shall pay compensation to, reimburse expenses of and indemnify the Second Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.07.

SECTION 13.11    Parallel Debt. For the purpose of taking and ensuring the continuing validity of each Lien on the Second Lien Collateral granted under the Second Lien Collateral Documents governed by the laws of (or to the extent affecting assets situated in) Switzerland or any other jurisdiction in which an effective Lien cannot be granted in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent as trustee or agent for some or all of the Second Priority Notes Secured Parties, notwithstanding any contrary provision in any Note Document:
(a)    each Issuer and Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Second Lien Collateral Agent as an independent and separate creditor an amount (the “Parallel Obligations”) equal to: (i) all present and future, actual or contingent amounts owing by such Issuer or Guarantor to Second Priority Notes Secured Parties under or in connection with the Note Documents as and when the same fall due for payment under or in connection with the Note Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any change, extension or increase in those obligations pursuant to or in connection with any amendment or supplement or restatement or novation of any Note Document, in each case whether or not anticipated as of the Issue Date) and (ii) any amount which such Issuer or Guarantor owes to Second Priority Notes Secured Parties as a result of a party rescinding a Note Document or as a result of invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of a Note Document (the “Original Obligations”);
(b)    the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right to claim performance of the Parallel Obligations (including, without limitation, any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in respect of any kind of insolvency proceedings) and the Parallel Obligations shall not constitute the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any other Second Priority Notes Secured Party as joint creditors;
(c)    the Parallel Obligations shall not limit or affect the existence of the Original Obligations for which the Second Priority Notes Secured Parties shall have an independent right to demand payment;
(d)    notwithstanding clauses (b) and (c) above:
(i)    the Parallel Obligations shall be decreased to the extent the Second Lien Collateral Agent receives (and retains) and applies any payment against the discharge of its Parallel Obligations to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Original Obligations shall be decreased to the same extent;
(ii)    payment by any Issuer or Guarantor of its Original Obligations to the relevant Second Priority Notes Secured Party shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the Parallel Obligations owing by it to the Second Lien Collateral Agent; and
(iii)    if any Original Obligation is subject to any limitations under the Note Documents, then the same limitations shall apply mutatis mutandis to the relevant Parallel Obligation corresponding to that Original Obligation;
(e)    the Parallel Obligations are owed to the Second Lien Collateral Agent in its own name on behalf of itself and not as agent or representative of any other person nor as trustee and all property subject to a Lien on Second Lien Collateral shall secure the Parallel Obligations so owing to the Second Lien Collateral Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Obligations;
(f)    each Issuer and Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to require a Second Priority Notes Secured Party to join any proceedings as co-claimant with the Second Lien Collateral Agent in respect of any claim by the Second Lien Collateral Agent against any Issuer or Guarantor under this Section 13.11;
(g)    each Issuer and Guarantor agrees that:

(ii)    any defect affecting a claim of a Second Priority Notes Secured Party against any Issuer or Guarantor under or in connection with the Note Document will not affect any claim of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 13.11; and

(v)    If the Second Lien Collateral Agent were to resign or be replaced, its resignation or replacement shall only take effect upon the transfer of the Trust Property to its successor.

(2)    the benefit of this Section 13.13; and

The Issuers shall pay interest semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing April 15, 2020. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from December 6, 2019, until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.
2.    Method of Payment
The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders at the close of business on April 1 or October 1 (each a “Record Date”) immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender Notes to the Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuers shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The Issuers shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Second Lien Trustee or Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Second Lien Trustee may accept in its discretion).

Without notice to or the consent of any holder, the Issuers and the Second Lien Trustee may amend or supplement any of the Note Documents (including any of the Second Lien Collateral Documents) and the Issuer may direct the Second Lien Trustee and/or Second Lien Collateral Agent, and the Second Lien Trustee and/or Second Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall enter into an amendment to any of the Note Documents (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to provide for the assumption by a Successor Company (with respect to the Issuer) of the obligations of the Issuer under any of the Note Documents; (iii) to provide for the assumption by a Successor Person (with respect to any Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer, as applicable), of the obligations of a Guarantor or the US Co-Issuer, as applicable, under any of the Note Documents; (iv) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; (v) to conform the text of any Note Document to any provision of the “Description of the New Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision was intended by the Issuer to be a verbatim recitation of a provision in the “Description of the New Notes” in the Offering Memorandum, as stated in an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer; (vi) to add a Guarantee or collateral with respect to the Notes; (vii) to secure the Notes or to add additional assets as Second Lien Collateral, (viii) to confirm and evidence the release, termination, discharge or retaking of any Guarantee or Lien with respect to or securing the Notes when such release, termination, discharge or retaking is provided for under the Indenture, the Second Lien Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, as applicable; (viii) to add to the covenants of the Parent or the Issuers for the benefit of the holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Parent or the Issuers; (ixi) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder in any material respect; (x) to effect any provision of the Indenture or the other Notre Documents or to make changes to the Indenture to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes, (xi) to provide for the release of Second Lien Collateral from the Lien pursuant to the Indenture, the Second Lien Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements when permitted or required by the Second Lien Collateral Documents, the Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreements or (xii) to secure any Future First Lien Indebtedness, Future Second Lien Indebtedness, Junior Priority Indebtedness, First Priority Obligations or Second Priority Obligations to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the Second Lien Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.
16.    Defaults and Remedies
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) of the Indenture with respect to the Issuers) occurs and is continuing, the Second Lien Trustee by notice to the Issuers or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuers (with a copy to the Second Lien Trustee) may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) of the Indenture with respect to the Issuers occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Second Lien Trustee or any holders. In addition, upon the acceleration of the New Notes in connection with an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (b), (f) or (g) prior to April 15, 2024, an amount equal to the Applicable Premium or optional redemption premium, as applicable, that would have been payable in connection with an optional redemption of the Notes at the time of the occurrence of such acceleration will become

Exhibit A-11



and be immediately due and payable with respect to all Notes without any declaration or other act on the part of the Second Lien Trustee or any holders of the Notes. The amounts described in the preceding sentence are intended to be liquidated damages and not unmatured interest or a penalty. The holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration and its consequences if:
(a)    all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; and
(b)    the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Second Lien Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the Notes, unless such holders have offered to the Second Lien Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such holder has previously given the Second Lien Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing with respect to such holder’s Notes, (ii) holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Second Lien Trustee to pursue the remedy, (iii) such holders have offered the Second Lien Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Second Lien Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity, and (v) the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Second Lien Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. The holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Second Lien Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Second Lien Trustee. The Second Lien Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Second Lien Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Second Lien Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Second Lien Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
17.    Second Lien Trustee Dealings with the Issuers
The Second Lien Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Second Lien Trustee.
18.    No Recourse Against Others
No director, officer, employee, manager or incorporator of the Parent, an Issuer, any Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent company of the Parent, an Issuer or any Guarantor and no holder of any Equity Interests in the Parent, an Issuer, any Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent company of the Parent, an Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of an Issuer or any Guarantor under any Note Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.
19.    Authentication
This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Second Lien Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.
20.    Abbreviations

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 reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed thereon.
23.    Security
The Notes will be secured by the Second Lien Collateral on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and the Second Lien Collateral Documents and (where applicable) to the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles. The Second Lien Trustee and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hold the Second Lien Collateral in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, in each case pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Each holder of the Notes, by accepting this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Second Lien Collateral Documents (including the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release of Second Lien Collateral) and the Intercreditor Agreements as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Second Lien Collateral Agent to enter into the Second Lien Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.

We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.
2.    We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which either of the Issuers or any affiliate of the Issuers was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) in the United States to a person whom we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in rule 144A under the Securities Act) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (b) outside the United States in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (c) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if applicable) or (d) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (a) through (d) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. In addition, we will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any purchaser of the Note evidenced hereby of the resale restrictions set forth above. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date.

EXHIBIT D
AGREED GUARANTEE AND SECURITY PRINCIPLES
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Indenture to which this Exhibit D is attached.
(A)    Considerations
1.    In determining what liens will be granted (and any limitations on the amount or scope of Guarantees) by Issuers or Guarantors organized outside of the United States (the “Non-U.S. Notes Parties”) to secure the Second Priority Notes Obligations (the holders thereof, the “Secured Parties”) the following matters will be taken into account. Liens shall not be created or perfected, the Second Priority Notes Obligations may be limited pursuant to the terms of the relevant Second Lien Collateral Documents and Guarantees may be limited in amount or scope, to the extent that it would (if created, perfected or not so limited):
(a)    result in any breach of corporate benefit, financial assistance, fraudulent preference, thin capitalisation laws, capital maintenance rules, general statutory limitations, retention of title claims or the laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions) of any applicable jurisdiction or any similar principles which may limit the ability of any Non-U.S. Notes Party to provide a guarantee or security or may require that the guarantee or security be limited by an amount or scope or otherwise;
(b)    result in any (x) material risk to the officers of the relevant grantor of liens or Guarantor of contravention of their fiduciary duties or any legal prohibition and/or (y) risk to the officers of the relevant grantor of liens or Guarantor of civil or criminal liability;
(c)    result in costs that the Issuer and the First Lien Collateral Agent reasonably determine are excessive in relation to the benefit of such lien or Guarantee by reference to the costs of creating or perfecting the lien or Guarantees, on the one hand, versus the value of the assets being secured or Guarantee granted, on the other hand (provided that (A) the Issuer has delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate describing such determination in reasonable detail and (B) any resulting limitations are simultaneously established with respect to any Lien securing any other Second Priority Obligations and any First Priority Obligations);
(d)    impose an undue administration burden on, or material inconvenience to the ordinary course of operations of, the provider of the lien or Guarantee, in each case which the Issuer and the First Lien Collateral Agent reasonably determine is excessive in relation to the benefit of such lien or Guarantee (provided that (A) the Issuer has delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate describing such determination in reasonable detail and (B) any resulting limitations are simultaneously established with respect to any Lien securing any other Second Priority Obligations and any First Priority Obligations); and
(e)    create liens over any assets subject to third party arrangements which are permitted by the Indenture to the extent (and for so long as) such arrangements prevent those assets from being charged.
2.    These Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles embody recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal, regulatory and practical difficulties (including those in paragraph 1 above) in obtaining security and/or Guarantees without limitation as to amount or scope from all Non-U.S. Notes Parties in every jurisdiction in which Non-U.S. Notes Parties are located, in particular:
(a)    perfection of liens, when required, and other legal formalities will be completed as soon as practicable and, in any event, within the time periods specified in the Indenture or (if earlier or to the extent no such time periods are specified in the Indenture) within the time periods specified by applicable law in order to ensure due perfection. Perfection of security will not be required if it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Non-U.S. Notes Party to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Indenture;
(b)    the maximum granted or secured amount may be limited to minimise stamp duty, notarisation, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties where the benefit of increasing the granted or secured amount is reasonably determined by the Issuer and the First Lien Collateral Agent to be excessive in relation to the level of such fees, taxes and duties (provided that (A) the Issuer has delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate describing such determination in reasonable detail and (B) any resulting limitations are simultaneously established with respect to any Lien securing any other Second Priority Obligations and any First Priority Obligations); or
(c)    where a class of assets to be secured includes material and immaterial assets, if the costs of granting security over the immaterial assets is reasonably determined by the Issuer and the First Lien Collateral Agent to be excessive in relation to the benefit of such security, security will be granted over the material assets only (provided that (A) the Issuer has delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate describing such determination in reasonable detail and (B) any resulting limitations are simultaneously established with respect to any Lien securing any other Second Priority Obligations and any First Priority Obligations).
For the avoidance of doubt, in these Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, “cost” includes, but is not limited to, income tax cost, registration taxes payable on the creation or enforcement or for the continuance of any liens, stamp duties, the cost of maintaining capital for regulatory purposes, out-of-pocket expenses, and other fees and expenses directly incurred by the relevant grantor of liens or any of its direct or indirect owners, subsidiaries or affiliates.
3.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles will be subject to the provisions of the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement and the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, the terms of the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor Agreement will govern and control.
(B)    Obligations to be Guaranteed and Secured
1.    Subject to paragraph (A) above, the obligations to be guaranteed and secured are the Second Priority Notes Obligations. The liens and Guarantees are to be granted in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Secured Party (or equivalent local procedure and unless otherwise necessary in any jurisdictions).
2.    Where appropriate, defined terms in the Second Lien Collateral Documents should mirror those in the Indenture.
3.    The parties to the Indenture agree to negotiate the form of each Second Lien Collateral Document in good faith in a manner consistent with these Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles. The form of Guarantee with respect to any Non-U.S. Notes Party shall be subject to any limitations as set out in the joinder, supplement or other Guarantee applicable to such Non-U.S. Notes Party as may be required in order to comply with local laws in accordance with these Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles.
4.    The liens granted by any Non-U.S. Notes Party in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Secured Party shall, to the extent possible under local law, be enforceable only after the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing.
(C)    Covenants/Representations and Warranties
Any representations, warranties or covenants which are required to be included in any Second Lien Collateral Document shall reflect (to the extent to which the subject matter of such representation, warranty and covenant is the same as the corresponding representation, warranty and undertaking in the Indenture) the commercial deal set out in the Indenture (save to the extent that applicable local counsel advise it necessary to include any further provisions (or deviate from those contained in this Agreement) in order to protect or preserve the liens granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Secured Party). Accordingly, the Second Lien Collateral Documents shall not include, repeat or extend clauses set out in the Indenture, including the representations or undertakings in respect of information, indemnities or the payment of costs, in each case, unless applicable local counsel advise it necessary in order to ensure the validity of any Second Lien Collateral Document or the perfection of any lien granted thereunder.
(D)    Liens over Equity Interests
1.    Subject to (A) and (B) above, equitable share charges (or the equivalent in local jurisdictions) will be made over equity interests in Non-U.S. Notes Parties to the extent required by the Indenture or any Second Lien Collateral Document.
2.    Subject to (A) and (B) above, equitable share charges (or the equivalent in local jurisdictions) over equity interests in Non-U.S. Notes Parties will be granted pursuant to which the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Secured Party will be entitled, subject to local laws, to transfer the equity interests and satisfy themselves out of the proceeds of such sale upon enforcement of the lien.
3.    Subject to (A) and (B) above, to the extent permitted under local law, share pledges should contain provisions to ensure that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the grantor of the lien is entitled to receive dividends and exercise voting rights in any shareholders’ meeting of the relevant company (except if exercise would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the lien or cause an Event of Default to occur) and if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the voting and dividend receipt rights may only be exercised by the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Secured Party, it being understood that if such Event of Default is subsequently remedied or waived, the right to receive dividends and the voting rights in any shareholders’ meeting of the relevant company shall return to the grantor of the lien.
4.    Liens over equity interests will, where possible, automatically charge further equity interests issued or otherwise contemplate a procedure for the extension (at the cost of the relevant Issuer or Guarantor) of liens over newly-issued shares.

The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall however be entitled to give such notice if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
3.    No lien will be granted under local law over any receivables to the extent (and for so long as) such receivable cannot be secured under the terms of the relevant contract.
(F)    Insurances
1.    Subject to (A) and (B) above, proceeds of material insurance policies owned by each relevant Non-U.S. Notes Party (excluding third party liability insurance policies) are to be assigned by way of security or pledged to the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Secured Party. Proceeds of insurance shall be collected and retained by the relevant Non-U.S. Notes Party (without the further consent of the Secured Parties) (i) unless such insurance proceeds must be applied to mandatory repurchase of the Notes or mandatory prepayments of Bank Indebtedness and other Pari Passu Indebtedness in accordance with the Indenture, subject to any reinvestment rights therein or (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
2.    If required by local law to create or perfect the security, notice of the security will be served on the insurance provider within 10 business days of the security being granted and the Non-U.S. Notes Party shall use its reasonable endeavours to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within 30 business days of service.

(G)    Material Contracts and Claims
1.    Each relevant Non-U.S. Notes Party shall not be required to notify the counterparties to any contracts that have been charged/assigned under a Second Lien Collateral Document that such contract has been so charged/assigned unless required by the Second Lien Collateral Agent if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Liens should not be created over contracts, leases or licenses which prohibit assignment or the creation of such liens or which require the consent of third parties for the creation of such liens or such assignment.
2.    Proceeds of material contracts and claims shall be collected and retained by the relevant Non-U.S. Notes Party (without the further consent of the Secured Parties) (i) unless such proceeds must be applied to mandatory repurchase of the Notes or mandatory prepayments of Bank Indebtedness or other Pari Passu Indebtedness in accordance with the Indenture, subject to any reinvestment rights therein, or (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(H)    Liens Over Material Intellectual Property

Where any relevant Non-U.S. Notes Party has the right to the use of any Material Intellectual Property through contractual arrangements to which it is a party, a lien over such contract and/or any rights arising thereunder shall be given in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Secured Party, except to the extent (and for so long as) the giving over of such liens would contravene any legal or contractual prohibition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, liens should not be created over intellectual property or any contractual relationships described above (or any rights arising thereunder) where such lien or assignment is prohibited or the consent of third parties would be required for the creation of such lien or such assignment.
2.    If a Non-U.S. Notes Party grants a lien over any of its intellectual property, it will be free to deal with those assets in the course of its business (including without limitation, allowing any intellectual property to lapse or become abandoned if, in the reasonable judgment of the Parent, it is no longer economically practicable to maintain or useful in the conduct of the business of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
3.    “Material Intellectual Property” is to be defined as intellectual property owned by the Non-U.S. Notes Parties which is material to the carrying out of the business of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Liens shall be given over any other material assets of any relevant Non-U.S. Notes Party from time to time, according to the principles set out herein. Such Non-U.S. Notes Party shall be free to deal with those assets in the course of its business until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(K)    Perfection of Liens
1.    Where customary, a Second Lien Collateral Document may contain a power of attorney allowing the Second Lien Collateral Agent to perform on behalf of the grantor of the lien, its obligations under such Second Lien Collateral Document only if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
2.    Subject to (A) and (B) above, where obligatory or customary under the relevant local law all registrations and filings necessary in relation to the Second Lien Collateral Documents and/or the liens evidenced or created thereby are to be undertaken within applicable time limits, by the appropriate local counsel (based on local law and custom), unless otherwise agreed.
3.    Subject to (A) and (B) above, where obligatory or customary, documents of title relating to the assets charged will be required to be delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent.
4.    Except as explicitly provided herein, notice, acknowledgement or consent to be obtained from a third party will only be required where the efficacy of the lien requires it or where it is practicable and reasonable having regard to the costs involved, the commercial impact on the Non-U.S. Notes Party in question and the likelihood of obtaining the acknowledgement and, when possible without prejudicing the validity of the lien concerned, such perfecting procedures shall be delayed until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(L)    Liens
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture, no provision contained herein shall prejudice the right of the Non-U.S. Notes Parties to benefit from the permitted exceptions set out in the Indenture regarding the granting of liens over assets.
(M)    Proceeds
The Second Lien Collateral Documents will state that the proceeds of enforcement of such Second Lien Collateral Documents will be applied as specified in the Indenture.

So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any of the Obligors, the parties hereto agree that if any Second Lien Claimholder shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Obligor securing any Second Lien Obligation which assets are not also subject to the first priority Lien of the First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Collateral Documents, then, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, and each Second Lien Representative on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the Second Lien Collateral Agent, such Second Lien Representative or such Second Lien Claimholder, as the case may be, shall, without the need for any further consent of any Person and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other document, be deemed to also hold and have hold such Lien for the benefit of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders as security for the First Lien Obligations (subject to the Lien priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the First Lien Collateral Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien (if and to the extent the Second Lien Collateral Agent or such Second Lien Claimholder has actual knowledge of the existence of such Lien) and in any event take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent to assign such Liens to the First Lien Collateral Agent (but may retain a junior Lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) or, in the event that such Liens do not secure all First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent (and/or its designees) as security for the applicable First Lien Obligations. To the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence

16



are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens so granted shall be subject to Section 4.2.
2.4    Similar Liens and Agreements. In furtherance of Sections 2.3 and 11.9, the First Lien Collateral Agent and each First Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related First Lien Claimholders, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:
(a)    upon request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the First Lien Documents and the Second Lien Documents; and
(b)    except to the extent not possible or practicable in any jurisdiction based on advice of local counsel to the First Lien Collateral Agent, that the documents, agreements or instruments creating or evidencing the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and guaranties for the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations, subject to Section 5.3(c), shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents, agreements or instruments, other than with respect to the “first priority” and the “second priority” nature of the Liens thereunder, the identity of the secured parties that are parties thereto or secured thereby and other matters contemplated by this Agreement.
2.5    Nature of Obligations. The priorities of the Liens provided in Section 2.1 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by (a) any Refinancing of the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations or (b) any action or inaction which any of the First Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Claimholders may take or fail to take in respect of the Collateral. The Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees and acknowledges that (i) a portion of the First Lien Obligations is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (ii) the terms of the First Lien Documents and the First Lien Obligations may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the First Lien Obligations, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced from time to time and (iii) the aggregate amount of the First Lien Obligations may be increased, in each case, without notice to or consent by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the other Second Lien Claimholders and without affecting the provisions hereof, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. As between the Parent, the Borrowers and the other Obligors and the Second Lien Claimholders, the foregoing provisions will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parent, the Borrowers and the Obligors contained in any Second Lien Document with respect to the incurrence of additional First Lien Obligations.
2.6    Certain Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other First Lien Document or Second Lien Document to the contrary, collateral consisting of (i) cash and cash equivalents pledged to secure First Lien Obligations under any First Lien Financing Document consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of First Lien Letters of Credit issued thereunder or otherwise held by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Credit Agreement Representative, as applicable, pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, (ii) assets constituting “Excluded Property” or “Excluded Securities” as defined in the Initial Second Lien Document (or any similar term in any other Second Lien Financing Document) and/or (iii) assets excluded from the collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations pursuant to the “Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles” (or any similar term in any other Second Lien Financing Document), shall (subject to any intercreditor agreement among the First Lien Collateral Agent and any First Lien Representatives, if then in effect) be applied as specified in the relevant First Lien Financing Document and will not constitute Collateral or Shared Collateral hereunder.

SECTION 3.    Enforcement.
3.1    Exercise of Remedies.
(a)    Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any of the Obligors, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees that it and its Related Second Lien Claimholders:
(1)    will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff, recoupment and the right to credit bid, if any) with respect to any Collateral or institute or commence, or join with any Person in instituting or commencing, any other Enforcement Action or any other action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure, enforcement, collection or execution and any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding); provided that the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Person authorized by it may commence an Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any or all such rights or remedies after the passage of a period of at least 270 days since the First Lien Collateral Agent and each First Lien Representative shall have received notice from the Second Lien Collateral Agent with respect to the acceleration by the relevant Second Lien Claimholders of the maturity of all then outstanding Second Lien Obligations (and requesting that Enforcement Action be taken with respect to the Collateral) so long as the applicable “event of default” shall not have been cured or waived (or the applicable acceleration rescinded) (the “Standstill Period”); provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Second Lien Collateral Agent, any Second Lien Representative or any other Second Lien Claimholders exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or institute or commence, or join with any Person in instituting or commencing, any other Enforcement Action or any other action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies, if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, either (A) the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing (or shall have sought or requested and be diligently pursuing relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to enable the commencement and the pursuit of) an Enforcement Action or other exercise of their rights or remedies in each case with respect to all or any material portion of the Collateral (with any determination of which Collateral to proceed against, and in what order, to be made by the First Lien Collateral Agent or such First Lien Claimholders in their reasonable judgment) or (B) any of the Obligors is then a debtor in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding;
(2)    will not contest, protest or object to any Enforcement Action brought by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder or any other exercise by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the First Lien Documents or otherwise (and acknowledges and agrees that if the First Lien Collateral Agent seeks to appoint an administrator (in its capacity as a holder of a qualifying floating charge) it shall be entitled to do so in accordance with the First Lien Collateral Documents, the Insolvency Act 1986 and English common law and no Second Lien Collateral Agent or Second Lien Claimholder shall object to or seek to replace such appointee);
(3)    subject to their rights under clause (a)(1) above, will not object to the forbearance by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any Enforcement Action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral, in each case so long as any proceeds received by the First Lien Collateral Agent or other First Lien Claimholders in excess of those necessary to achieve a Discharge of First Lien Obligations are distributed in accordance with Section 4.1; and

18



(4)    will not take or receive any Collateral, or any proceeds of or payment with respect to any Collateral, in connection with any Enforcement Action or any other exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral or any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in its capacity as a creditor or in connection with any insurance policy award or any award in a condemnation or similar proceeding (or deed in lieu of condemnation) with respect to any Collateral, in each case unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except in connection with any foreclosure expressly permitted by Section 3.1(a)(1) to the extent the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders are permitted to retain the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 4.1.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a)(1), 3.1(c) and 6.3(b), the sole right of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral (other than inspection, monitoring, reporting and similar rights provided for in the Second Lien Financing Documents) is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred.
(b)    Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any First Lien Obligor, subject to Sections 3.1(a)(1), 3.1(c) and 6.3(b), the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Claimholders shall have the exclusive right to commence and maintain an Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights and remedies (including set-off, recoupment and the right to “credit bid” their debt, except that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have the “credit bid” rights set forth in Section 3.1(c)(6)), and make determinations regarding the release, Disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral, in each case without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder; provided that any proceeds received by the First Lien Collateral Agent in excess of those necessary to achieve a Discharge of First Lien Obligations are distributed in accordance with Section 4.1. In commencing or maintaining any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the First Lien Documents and exercise rights and remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion in compliance with any applicable law and without consultation with the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder and regardless of whether any such exercise is adverse to the interest of any Second Lien Claimholder. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise Dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or other Disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC or other applicable law and of a secured creditor under Debtor Relief Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any other Second Lien Claimholder may:
(1)    file a claim, proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second Lien Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any of the Second Lien Obligors by a Person other than a Second Lien Claimholder;
(2)    take any action in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on the Collateral to the extent (A) not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, or the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders to exercise rights and remedies in respect thereof, and (B) not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including the automatic release of Liens provided in Section 5.1;
(3)    file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Lien Claimholders, including any

19



claims or Liens secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement;
(4)    vote on any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, arrangement, compromise or liquidation, and make filings and make any arguments and motions with respect to the Second Lien Obligations and the Collateral that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 6.9(c); provided that no vote, or pleading relating to such vote, to accept or reject a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, arrangement, compromise or liquidation, no other document, agreement or proposal similar to the foregoing, and no filing, argument or motion by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder may, in each case, be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement;
(5)    exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral after the termination of the Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.1(a)(1); and
(6)    bid for or purchase any Collateral at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon such Collateral initiated by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder, or any sale of any Collateral during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; provided that such bid may not include a “credit bid” in respect of any Second Lien Obligations unless the cash proceeds of such bid are otherwise sufficient to cause the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.
(d)    Subject to Sections 3.1(a)(1), 3.1(c) and 6.3(b) the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders:
(1)    agrees that it and its Related Second Lien Claimholders will not take any action that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of rights or remedies under the First Lien Documents or is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any collection or Disposition of any Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien securing any First Lien Obligations or any First Lien Collateral Document or subordinate the priority of the First Lien Obligations to the Second Lien Obligations or grant the Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations equal ranking to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations;
(2)    hereby waives any and all rights it or its Related Second Lien Claimholders may have as a junior Lien creditor or otherwise (whether arising under the UCC or under any other law) to object to the manner in which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of any Second Lien Claimholders; and
(3)    hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second Lien Collateral Documents or any other Second Lien Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Documents.
(e)    The Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Obligors that have guaranteed or granted Liens to secure the Second Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of Initial Second Lien Documents and applicable law (other than initiating or joining in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Obligor, prior to the termination of the Standstill Period or as otherwise prohibited pursuant to the second proviso in Section 3.1(a)(1)); provided that (i) any such exercise shall not be directly or indirectly inconsistent with or prohibited by the terms of this Agreement (including Section 6 and any provision prohibiting or restricting the Second Lien Claimholders from taking various actions or making various objections)

20



and (ii) in the event that any Second Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the First Lien Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Initial Second Lien Documents so long as such receipt is not subject to turnover pursuant to Section 4.2.
3.2    Agreement Among First Lien Claimholders; Agreement Among Second Lien Claimholders.
(a)    Subject to (i) applicable intercreditor arrangements among the applicable Series of First Lien Obligations and (ii) the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.15(a), the First Lien Collateral Agent, and each First Lien Representative on behalf of itself and its Related First Lien Claimholders, solely as among themselves in such capacity and solely for their mutual benefit, hereby agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have the sole right and power, as among the First Lien Claimholders, to take and direct any right or remedy with respect to Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the relevant First Lien Collateral Documents and any intercreditor agreement among the First Lien Collateral Agent and any other First Lien Representative. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the benefit of all the exculpatory, indemnity and reimbursement provisions set forth in any First Lien Document (including, without limitation, those set forth in Article VIII of the First Lien Credit Agreement) for the benefit of any “collateral agent” (or any other agent or similar representative) with respect to any exercise by the First Lien Collateral Agent of any of the rights or remedies under this Agreement, including any such exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral, or any other action or inaction by it in its capacity as the First Lien Collateral Agent.
(b)    Subject to (i) any applicable intercreditor arrangements among the relevant Series of Second Lien Obligations, (ii) Section 3.1(c) and (iii) Section 3.1(e), in each case solely to the extent provided therein, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, and each Second Lien Representative on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, solely as among themselves in such capacity and solely for their mutual benefit, hereby agrees that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have the sole right and power, as among the Second Lien Claimholders, to take and direct any right or remedy with respect to Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the relevant Second Lien Collateral Documents, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement among the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each other Second Lien Representative. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the benefit of all the exculpatory, indemnity and reimbursement provisions set forth in any Second Lien Document for the benefit of any “collateral agent” (or any other agent or similar representative) with respect to any exercise by the Second Lien Collateral Agent of any of the rights or remedies under this Agreement, including any such exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral, or any other action or inaction by it in its capacity as the Second Lien Collateral Agent.

22



prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized (at the cost of the Obligors in accordance with the terms of the applicable First Lien Financing Document and without any consent, sanction, authority or further confirmation from the Second Lien Collateral Agent, any other Second Lien Claimholder or any Obligor): (i) to release any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral or any other claim over the asset that is the subject of such Enforcement Action or such other exercise of rights or remedies, in which case the Liens or any other claim over the asset that is the subject of such Enforcement Action, if any, of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative, for itself and for the benefit of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released to the same extent as the Liens or other claims of the First Lien Collateral Agent and each First Lien Representative are so released (and the First Lien Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to execute and deliver or enter into any release of such Liens or claims that may, in the discretion of the First Lien Collateral Agent, be considered necessary or reasonably desirable in connection with such releases); and (ii) if the asset that is the subject of such Enforcement Action consists of the equity interests of any Obligor, to release (x) such Obligor and any subsidiary of such Obligor from all or any part of its First Lien Obligations, in which case such Obligor and any subsidiary of such Obligor shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released to the same extent from its Second Lien Obligations, and (y) any Liens or other claims on any assets of such Obligor and any subsidiary of such Obligor, in which case the Liens or other claims on such assets of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative, for itself or for the benefit of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released to the same extent as such Liens of the First Lien Collateral Agent and each First Lien Representative are so released (and the First Lien Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to execute and deliver or enter into any release of such Liens or claims that may, in the discretion of the First Lien Collateral Agent, be considered necessary or reasonably desirable in connection with such releases).

The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, shall promptly execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Obligor such termination statements, releases, letters of non-crystallization of any Second Lien Floating Charge, consent to dealing and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Obligor may request as necessary or desirable to effectively confirm the foregoing releases upon delivery to the Second Lien Collateral Agent of copies of such termination statements, releases, letters of non-crystallization of any Second Lien Floating Charge, consent to dealing and other documents used to effect such release with respect to the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations from a Responsible Officer of the Lux Borrower or the First Lien Collateral Agent and an officer’s

(b)    The Second Lien Financing Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the Second Lien Financing Documents and any Second Lien Obligations thereunder may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders (in each case, except to the extent such notice to or consent is otherwise expressly required under the First Lien Financing Documents), all without affecting the Lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided that the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness execute a Joinder Agreement and prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations no such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing shall, without the consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, contravene the provisions of this Agreement.
(c)    In the event that the First Lien Collateral Agent enters into any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification in respect of or replaces any of the First Lien Collateral Documents for purposes of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Claimholders, or any Obligor thereunder (including the release of any Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations), then such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification in a manner that is applicable to all First Lien Claimholders and all First Lien Obligations shall apply automatically to any comparable provisions of each Comparable Second Lien Collateral Document without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, Second Lien Claimholder or any Obligor; provided, however, that (1) such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification does not (A) remove assets subject to any Liens on the Collateral securing any of the Second Lien Obligations or release any such Liens, except to the extent such release is permitted or required by Section 5.1 and provided there is a concurrent release of the corresponding Liens securing the First Lien Obligations, (B) materially adversely affect the rights or duties of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Representative without its consent or (C) otherwise materially adversely affect the rights of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders or the interest of the applicable Second Lien Claimholders in the Collateral unless the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders that have a Lien on the applicable Collateral are affected in a like manner, and (2) written notice of such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification shall have been given to the Second Lien Collateral Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days of the effectiveness thereof (it being understood that the failure to deliver such notice shall not impair the effectiveness of any such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification).
5.4    Confirmation of Subordination in Second Lien Collateral Documents. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, and each Second Lien Representative on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that each Second Lien Collateral Document includes and shall include, as applicable, the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Collateral Agent):
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2019 (as amended, restated, amended and

25



restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among, inter alia Mallinckrodt plc, Mallinckrodt International Finance S.A., Mallinckrodt CB LLC, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as First Lien Collateral Agent and First Lien Credit Agreement Representative, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as Second Lien Collateral Agent and Initial Second Lien Document Representative, and certain other Persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”
5.5    Non-Fiduciary Bailee/Agent for Perfection; Shared Collateral Documents.
(a)    Each Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC or other applicable law (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as gratuitous bailee and non-fiduciary agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the other Collateral Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) solely for the purpose of perfecting, or improving the priority of, the security interest granted under the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents, as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5; provided that, in the case of any such possession or control by the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the foregoing shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any restriction set forth herein on such possession or control or of any breach by the Second Lien Collateral Agent of any terms of this Agreement in respect of such possession or control.
(b)    Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Financing Documents as if the Liens of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under the Second Lien Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the First Lien Collateral Agent’s rights under the First Lien Financing Documents.
(c)    No Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Obligors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person with respect thereto except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5 or, in the case of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the other provisions hereof (including the turnover provisions set forth in Section 4.2). The duties or responsibilities of each Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.5 and, in the case of the First Lien Collateral Agent, delivering the Pledged Collateral to the Second Lien Collateral Agent upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (e) below or, in the case of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, delivering the Pledged Collateral to the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof (including the turnover provisions set forth in Section 4.2).
(d)    Each Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Claimholders, hereby waives and releases the other Collateral Agent and each other Claimholder from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to any Collateral Agent’s role under this Section 5.5 as gratuitous bailee and non-fiduciary agent with respect to the Pledged Collateral; provided that, in the case of any possession or control of any Pledged Collateral by the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the foregoing shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any restriction set forth herein on such possession or control or of any breach by the Second Lien Collateral Agent of any terms of this Agreement in respect of such possession or control. None of the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholders shall have by reason of the First Lien Collateral Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Documents, the Shared Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder, and it is understood and agreed that the interests of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and

26



the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders, on the other hand, may differ and that the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Claimholders shall be fully entitled to act in their own interest without taking into account the interests of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the other Second Lien Claimholders.
(e)    Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral in its possession or control (if any) (or proceeds thereof) together with any necessary endorsements (such endorsement shall be without recourse and without any representation or warranty), first, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, to the extent the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations has not occurred and second, upon the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, to the Obligors to the extent no Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent further agrees to take, at the expense of the Obligors (which expense reimbursement shall be subject to the provisions of the applicable First Lien Document), all other actions reasonably requested by the Second Lien Collateral Agent in connection with the Second Lien Collateral Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in the Pledged Collateral.
5.6    When Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge of any Series of First Lien Obligations having occurred, any Borrower or any other First Lien Obligor enters into any Refinancing of any First Lien Financing Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation of such Series, which Refinancing is permitted hereby and by the terms of the First Lien Financing Documents of any other Series of First Lien Obligations then outstanding and by the terms of the Second Lien Financing Documents, then the Discharge of such Series of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement not to have occurred, and the obligations under such Refinancing of such First Lien Financing Document shall, subject to execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 9.21, automatically be treated as First Lien Obligations of the Refinanced Series for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the New First Lien Agent shall be a First Lien Representative of such Refinanced Series (and, if applicable in accordance with the definition of such term, the Directing First Lien Representative) for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice from the Lux Borrower or any other First Lien Obligor stating that the Lux Borrower or such other First Lien Obligor has entered into a Refinancing of any First Lien Financing Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new First Lien Representative with respect thereto (such new First Lien Representative, the “New First Lien Agent”)), the Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to, or amendment and restatement of, this Agreement) as the Lux Borrower, such other First Lien Obligor or the New First Lien Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New First Lien Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement. The New First Lien Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the Collateral Agent, each other Authorized Representative and the other Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of its Related First Lien Claimholders.
5.7    Purchase Right.
(a)    Without prejudice to the enforcement of any of the First Lien Claimholder’s rights or remedies under this Agreement, any other First Lien Financing Documents, at law or in equity or otherwise, the First Lien Collateral Agent, and each First Lien Representative on behalf of itself and its Related First Lien Claimholders, agrees that at any time within thirty (30) days following (i) an acceleration of all the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Financing Documents or (ii) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Obligor, the Second Lien Claimholders may request, and upon such request, the First Lien Claimholders will offer each Second Lien Claimholder, the option to purchase at par the entire aggregate outstanding amount (but not less than the entire aggregate outstanding amount) of the

27



First Lien Obligations (and to assume the entire amount of unfunded commitments under the First Lien Financing Documents, if any), at the Purchase Price (together with the deposit of cash collateral as set forth below), without warranty or representation or recourse except as provided in Section 5.7(c), on a pro rata basis among the First Lien Claimholders. The “Purchase Price” will equal the sum of: (1) the principal amount of all loans, advances or similar extensions of credit included in the First Lien Obligations (including the unreimbursed amount of all issued letters of credit (including First Lien Letters of Credit), but excluding the undrawn amount of then outstanding letters of credit (including the undrawn amount of then outstanding First Lien Letters of Credit)), all accrued and unpaid interest (including Post-Petition Interest) thereon through the date of purchase and any prepayment penalties or premiums that would be applicable upon prepayment of the First Lien Obligations, (2) the net aggregate amount then owing to counterparties under First Lien Hedge Agreements governing the First Lien Secured Hedging Obligations and First Lien Banking Services Agreements, including, in the case of such First Lien Hedge Agreements, all amounts owing to the counterparties as a result of the termination (or early termination) thereof, and (3) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses and other amounts owed to the First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Documents on the date of purchase. The Purchase Price shall be accompanied by delivery to the First Lien Collateral Agent of cash collateral in immediately available funds, to be deposited under the sole dominion and control of the First Lien Collateral Agent, in such amount as the First Lien Collateral Agent determines is reasonably necessary to secure the First Lien Claimholders in connection with any issued and outstanding First Lien Letters of Credit under the First Lien Financing Documents but in any event not to exceed 102% of the sum of (x) the aggregate undrawn amount of all such First Lien Letters of Credit outstanding pursuant to the First Lien Financing Documents and (y) the aggregate facing and similar fees which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the First Lien Letters of Credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity). It is understood and agreed that (i) at the time any facing or similar fees are owing to an issuer with respect to any First Lien Letter of Credit, the First Lien Collateral Agent may apply amounts deposited with it as described above to pay same and (ii) upon any drawing under any First Lien Letter of Credit, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall apply amounts deposited with it as described above to repay the respective unpaid drawing. After giving effect to any payment made as described above in this paragraph (a), those amounts (if any) then on deposit with the First Lien Collateral Agent as cash collateral, described in this paragraph (a) which exceed 102% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding First Lien Letters of Credit and the aggregate facing and similar fees (to the respective issuers) which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the then outstanding First Lien Letters of Credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity), shall be returned to the respective purchaser or purchasers, as their interests appear. Furthermore, at such time as all First Lien Letters of Credit have been cancelled, expired or been fully drawn, as the case may be, and after all applications described above in this paragraph (a) have been made, any excess cash collateral then on deposit with the First Lien Collateral Agent as described above in this paragraph (a) (and not previously applied or released as provided above) shall be returned to the respective purchaser or purchasers, as their interests appear.
(b)    The Second Lien Claimholders may irrevocably accept such offer within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof by the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter to the extent such offer has been accepted. The Second Lien Claimholders shall only be permitted to acquire the entire amount of the First Lien Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7, and may not acquire less than all of such First Lien Obligations. If the Second Lien Claimholders timely accept such offer, the right to purchase the First Lien Obligations shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to the First Lien Collateral Agent, each First Lien Representative, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative. If the Second Lien Claimholders reject such offer (or fail to accept such offer within the required time frame), the First Lien Claimholders shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7 and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the First Lien Documents and this Agreement. Each First Lien Claimholder will retain all rights to indemnification and expense reimbursement provided in the relevant First Lien Documents for all claims and other amounts relating to periods prior to the purchase of the First Lien Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7. Upon the consummation of the purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall, at the request of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, resign from its role in accordance with the applicable First Lien Document (and comply with any provisions contained

28



therein with respect to successors to such role or the powers granted in connection with such role) and cooperate with an orderly transition of Liens in the Collateral.
(c)    The purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations under this Section 5.7 will be without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind by the First Lien Claimholders, except that each First Lien Claimholder shall severally and not jointly represent and warrant to the Second Lien Claimholders that on the date of the purchase, immediately before giving effect to such purchase:
(1)    the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the First Lien Obligations, and the fees, expenses and other amounts in respect thereof owed to the respective First Lien Claimholders, are as stated in any assignment agreement prepared in connection with the purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations;
(2)    that such First Lien Claimholder owns free and clear of any liens and has the right to transfer the First Lien Obligations purported to be owned by it; and
(3)    that such First Lien Claimholder has the right to assign the First Lien Obligations being assigned by it and its assignment has been duly authorized and delivered.
SECTION 6.    Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
6.1    Finance and Sale Issues.
(a)    Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall desire to permit (or not object to) the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Debtor Relief Law) on which the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit (or not object to) any Obligor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other Person, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Debtor Relief Law (“DIP Financing”), then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, and each Second Lien Representative on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it and its Related Second Lien Claimholders will raise no objection to, or oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting or contesting), such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (including any proposed orders for such Cash Collateral use and/or DIP Financing which are acceptable to the First Lien Collateral Agent) and it and its Related Second Lien Claimholders will be deemed to have consented to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (including such proposed orders), and to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or secured equally and ratably with such DIP Financing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any customary “carve-out” for professional and statutory fees agreed to on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders by the First Lien Collateral Agent) and to all adequate protection Liens granted to the First Lien Claimholders on the same basis as the Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed by the First Lien Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3); provided that the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the use of Cash Collateral or the DIP Financing that require a specific treatment of a claim in respect of the Second Lien Obligations for purposes of a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, and each Second Lien Representative on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall offer to provide, administer, or syndicate any DIP Financing to any Obligor unless (i) the application of the proceeds of such DIP Financing would result in the Discharge of First Lien Obligations on the date any funds provided under such DIP Financing are first drawn, (ii) the provision of such DIP Financing is consented to by the Directing First Lien Representative, or (iii) (A) any Liens securing such DIP Financing are subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and (B) no First Lien

29



Claimholder has offered (after being given the initial opportunity with a reasonable period of time to respond) to provide alternative DIP Financing prior to the Second Lien Claimholders’ offering to provide, administer, or syndicate such a junior DIP Financing.
(b)    The Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it and its Related Second Lien Claimholders will not seek consultation rights in connection with, and will raise no objection or oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party objecting, opposing or contesting), a motion to sell, liquidate or otherwise Dispose of Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the First Lien Collateral Agent has consented to (or not objected to) such sale, liquidation or other Disposition; provided that (1) to the extent the net cash proceeds of such sale or other Disposition are used to pay the principal amount of Indebtedness for borrowed money constituting First Lien Obligations, or to reimburse disbursements under, or cash collateralize the face amount of, the First Lien Letters of Credit constituting First Lien Obligations, the Liens of the Second Lien Claimholders shall attach to any remaining proceeds and (2) such motion does not impair the rights of the Second Lien Claimholders to credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (provided that the First Lien Obligations are paid in cash in full in connection with any such credit bid by the Second Lien Claimholders).
6.2    Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, and each Second Lien Representative on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders agrees that none of them shall (a) seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any of the Collateral, in each case without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, or (b) oppose (or support any other Person in opposing) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent for relief from or modification of such stay.
6.3    Adequate Protection.
(a)    The Second Lien Collateral Agent, and each Second Lien Representative on behalf of itself and its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):
(i)    any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection under any Debtor Relief Law;
(ii)    any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Collateral; or
(iii)    the allowance and/or payment of interest, fees or other amounts to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or as adequate protection under Section 361 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding:
(i)    if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral in connection with any use of Cash Collateral or DIP Financing, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing and providing adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations and such use of Cash Collateral or DIP Financing (and

30



all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations will be so subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement; and
(ii)    the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders shall only be permitted to seek adequate protection with respect to their respective rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in the form of (A) additional collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted a Lien on such additional collateral that is senior to any Lien granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted replacement Liens on the Collateral that are senior to any Lien granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders; (C) an administrative expense claim; provided that (1) as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted an administrative expense claim that is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders and (2) if the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder is granted an administrative expense claim as adequate protection, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, shall irrevocably agree, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection administrative expense claim, that such administrative expense claim may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims; and (D) cash payments with respect to current fees and expenses; provided that (1) as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted cash payments with respect to current fees and expenses and (2) the First Lien Collateral Agent may object to the amounts of fees and expenses sought by the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders; and (E) cash payments with respect to interest on the Second Lien Obligations; provided that (1) as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted cash payments with respect to interest on the First Lien Obligation represented by it and (2) such cash payments do not exceed an amount equal to the interest accruing on the principal amount of Second Lien Obligations outstanding on the date such relief is granted at the interest rate under the applicable Second Lien Documents and accruing from the date the Second Lien Collateral Agent is granted such relief. If any Second Lien Claimholder is entitled by order of a court of competent jurisdiction to receive or receives adequate protection payments for post-petition interest and/or fees and expenses in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (“Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments”), and the First Lien Claimholders do not receive payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then an amount shall be paid over by Second Lien Claimholders to the First Lien Claimholders (the “Pay-Over Amount”) equal to the lesser of (x) the Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments received by the Second Lien Claimholders and (y) the amount of the short fall (the “Short-Fall”) in payment in full of the First Lien Obligations; provided that to the extent any portion of the Short-Fall represents payments received by the First Lien Claimholders in the form of promissory notes, equity or other property equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, the First Lien Claimholders shall, upon receipt of the Pay-Over Amount, transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, to the applicable Second Lien Claimholders pro rata in exchange for the Pay-Over Amount. It is understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 6.3(b) shall modify or otherwise affect the other agreements by or on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders set forth in this Agreement (including the agreements to raise no objection to, or oppose or contest, that are set forth in Section 6.1). To the extent the First Lien Collateral Agent is not granted adequate protection

31



in the applicable form required pursuant to this Section 6.3(b)(ii), any amounts recovered by or distributed to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder pursuant to or as a result of any such additional collateral, any such replacement Lien, any such administrative expense claim or any such cash payment shall be subject to Section 4.2.
6.4    No Waiver. Subject to Section 6.7(b), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders of adequate protection or the asserting by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Financing Documents or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the First Lien Claimholders shall not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to, the grant of adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the Second Lien Claimholders made pursuant to Section 6.3(b).
6.5    Reinstatement. If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Obligor any amount paid in respect of First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Claimholder shall be entitled to a reinstatement of its First Lien Obligations with respect to such recovered amounts on the date of such Recovery, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes hereunder. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Any amounts received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder on account of the Second Lien Obligations after the termination of this Agreement shall, upon a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.5, be held in trust for and paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders, for application to the reinstated First Lien Obligations in accordance with the First Lien Financing Documents and any intercreditor agreement among the First Lien Collateral Agent and any First Lien Representatives, if then in effect. This Section 6.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
6.6    Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, arrangement, compromise or liquidation or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.
6.7    Post-Petition Interest.
(a)    The Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that neither it nor its Related Second Lien Claimholders shall oppose or seek to challenge (or join with any other Person opposing or challenging) any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest. Regardless of whether any such claim for Post-Petition Interest is allowed or allowable, and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement expressly is intended to include, and does include the “rule of explicitness,” and is intended to provide the First Lien Claimholders with the right to receive payment of all Post-Petition Interest through distributions made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement even though such Post-Petition Interest may not be not allowed or allowable against the bankruptcy estate of any Borrower or any other Obligor under

32



Section 502(b)(2) or Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law.
(b)    Subject to Section 6.3(b), none of the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any of the First Lien Claimholders shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, on the Collateral (after taking into account the amount of the First Lien Obligations).
6.8    Waivers. (a) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, and each Second Lien Representative for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it or its Related Second Lien Claimholders may hereafter have against any First Lien Claimholder arising out of (a) the election of any First Lien Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or (b) any cash collateral or financing arrangement, or any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding so long as such actions are not in express contravention of the terms of this Agreement.
(b)     The Second Lien Collateral Agent, and each Second Lien Representative for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.
6.9    Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification; Voting on Plan. The Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, and the First Lien Collateral Agent and each First Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)    the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents constitute, and, in the case of the Shared Collateral Documents, are intended to constitute, two separate and distinct grants of Liens;
(b)    because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral (including the Shared Collateral), the Second Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must, subject to applicable law, be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; and
(c)    the Second Lien Claimholders agree that they will not propose, support or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization unless such plan (i) provides for the payment in full in cash of all the First Lien Obligations or (ii) is supported by the First Lien Claimholders required under applicable law to approve a plan.
To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral (including the Shared Collateral) constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the Collateral (including the Shared Collateral) (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders), the First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) in respect of Post-Petition Interest,

33



including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Lien Documents arising from or related to a default, regardless of whether any such claim is allowed or allowable in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral (including the Shared Collateral)), with the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Second Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, Collateral (including the Shared Collateral) or proceeds of Collateral (including the Shared Collateral) or any other distribution (whether or not expressly characterized as such) in respect of the Collateral, otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Claimholders.
6.10    Effectiveness in Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and under comparable provisions of any other applicable Debtor Relief Law, which will be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Obligor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the First Lien Collateral Agent, and each First Lien Representative on behalf of itself and its Related First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges that it and its Related First Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the First Lien Documents (as applicable) and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the First Lien Documents or this Agreement.

7.3    No Waiver of Lien Priorities.
(a)    No right of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholders, or any of them, to enforce any provision of this Agreement or of any First Lien Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Obligor or by any act or failure to act by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the First Lien Documents or any of the Second Lien Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Second Lien Claimholder or group of Second Lien Claimholders, other than the Second Lien Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of, or pursuant to a grant of authority by, the Required Second Lien Claimholders), shall not be entitled to take or file, but instead shall be precluded from taking or filing (whether in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise), any action, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any right or power or pursue any remedy under this Agreement (including any declaratory judgment or other action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement), except as provided in (x) the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, (y) Section 3.1(c) and (z) Section 3.1(e).
9.16    No Third-Party Beneficiaries; Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. This Agreement and the rights and benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each of the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien

42



Claimholders.  The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders, on the other hand.  None of the Obligors shall have any rights hereunder and no Obligor may rely on the terms hereof, other than any provision hereof expressly preserving any right of, or directly affecting, any Obligor under this Agreement, any First Lien Document or any Second Lien Document, including Sections 3.1 (solely as to the definition of “Standstill Period”), 4.1, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.5(c), 5.5(e), 5.6, 5.7, 6.1, 6.2, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11, 9.13, 9.14, 9.15, this Section 9.16, Sections 9.17, 9.18, 9.21, 9.22 and 9.23. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Obligors, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.
9.17    No Indirect Actions. Unless otherwise expressly stated, if a party may not take an action under this Agreement, then it may not take that action indirectly, or support any other Person in taking that action directly or indirectly. “Taking an action indirectly” means taking an action that is not expressly prohibited for the party but is intended to have substantially the same effects as the prohibited action; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.17 shall be deemed to limit the right of any party hereto to vote on any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, arrangement, compromise or liquidation or similar dispositive restructuring plan in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
9.18    Obligors; Additional Obligors. It is understood and agreed that the Parent, the Lux Borrower and each other Obligor on the date of this Agreement shall constitute the original Obligors party hereto. The original Obligors hereby covenant and agree to cause each subsidiary of the Parent which becomes a “Subsidiary Loan Party” as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement or a “Guarantor” as defined in the Initial Second Lien Document (or any similar term in any other First Lien Financing Document or Second Lien Financing Document) after the date hereof to become a party hereto (as an Obligor) by duly executing and delivering a counterpart of the Joinder Agreement in the form of Annex A hereto to the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the relevant provisions of the relevant First Lien Financing Documents and/or Second Lien Financing Documents, as applicable. The parties hereto further agree that, notwithstanding any failure to take the actions required by the immediately preceding sentence, each Person which becomes a “Subsidiary Loan Party” as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement or a “Guarantor” as defined in the Initial Second Lien Document (or any similar term in any other First Lien Financing Document or Second Lien Financing Document) at any time shall be subject to the provisions hereof as fully as if same constituted an Obligor party hereto and had complied with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence.
9.19    Right of First Lien Collateral Agent to Continue. Any Person serving as First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue, including to continue to perform his, her or its rights, obligations and duties, as the First Lien Collateral Agent, notwithstanding whether any such Person has served or is serving as a First Lien Representative, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and/or a Second Lien Representative. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence of this Section 9.19, any Person serving as a First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue to so serve in such capacity (including to continue to perform any of such First Lien Collateral Agent’s rights, obligations, and/or duties) even if any such Person has resigned as a First Lien Representative, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or a Second Lien Representative (as applicable), but such resignation has not become effective for any reason, including because a successor First Lien Representative, Second Lien Collateral Agent or Second Lien Representative (as applicable) has not been appointed or has accepted such appointment, without any liability to any of the First Lien Claimholders or Second Lien Claimholders by virtue of any such resignation and any of the circumstances relating in any manner whatsoever to such resignation.
9.20    Second Lien Claimholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that this Agreement only applies to the Second Lien Claimholders in their capacities as holders of the Second Lien Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement does not restrict or

43



apply to the Second Lien Claimholders in their capacities as holders of any Indebtedness or other obligations of the Obligors other than the Second Lien Obligations, or in their capacities as holders of equity interests of the Obligors.
9.21    Additional Lien Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each First Lien Financing Document and each Second Lien Financing Document, the Obligors will be permitted from time to time to designate as an additional holder of First Lien Obligations and/or Second Lien Obligations hereunder each Person that is, or that becomes or is to become, the holder of any Additional Lien Obligations (or the Additional Lien Obligations Agent in respect of such Additional Lien Obligations). Upon the issuance or incurrence of any such Additional Lien Obligations:
(a)    the Lux Borrower shall deliver to each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that the applicable Obligors intend to enter or have entered into an Additional Lien Obligations Agreement and certifying that the issuance or incurrence of such Additional Lien Obligations and the Liens securing such Additional Lien Obligations are permitted by the First Lien Financing Documents, the Second Lien Financing Documents and each then existing Additional First Lien Obligations Agreement and Additional Second Lien Obligations Agreement. Each of the Additional Lien Obligations Agents, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the determination of the Lux Borrower that such issuance and/or incurrence is permitted under the First Lien Financing Documents, the Second Lien Financing Documents and each then existing Additional First Lien Obligations Agreement and Additional Second Lien Obligations Agreement if such determination is set forth in such Responsible Officer’s certificate delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the Obligors have complied with their undertakings in the First Lien Financing Documents, the Second Lien Financing Documents or any then-existing Additional First Lien Obligations Agreement or Additional Second Lien Obligation Agreement;
(b)    the Additional Liens Obligations Agent for such Additional Lien Obligations shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B acknowledging that such Additional Lien Obligations and the holders of such Additional Lien Obligations shall be bound by the terms hereof to the extent applicable to the First Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Claimholders, as applicable; and
(c)    each Collateral Agent and each then-existing Authorized Representative shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement) as the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Additional Lien Obligations Agent may reasonably request in order to provide to it the rights, remedies and powers and authorities contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that any such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification to this Agreement requested pursuant to this clause (c) may be entered into by the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent without the consent of any other First Lien Claimholder or Second Lien Claimholder to effect the provisions of this Section 9.21 and may contain additional intercreditor terms applicable solely to the holders of such Additional Lien Obligations vis-à-vis the holders of the relevant obligations hereunder or the holders of such Additional Lien Obligations vis-à-vis the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders, as applicable.

44



Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow any Obligor to incur additional Indebtedness unless otherwise permitted by the terms of each applicable First Lien Financing Document, Second Lien Document and each then-existing Additional First Lien Obligations Agreement and Additional Second Lien Obligations Agreement.
9.22    Additional Intercreditor Agreements. (a) Each party hereto agrees that some or all of the First Lien Claimholders (as among themselves) and some or all of the Second Lien Claimholders (as among themselves) may each enter into intercreditor agreements (or similar arrangements) with the First Lien Collateral Agent or Second Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, governing the rights, benefits and privileges as among the First Lien Claimholders in respect of any or all of the First Lien Collateral, this Agreement and the First Lien Collateral Documents (including, without limitation, a First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) or as among the Second Lien Claimholders in respect of any or all of the Second Lien Collateral, this Agreement or the Second Lien Collateral Documents, as the case may be, including as to the application of proceeds of any Collateral, voting rights, control of any Collateral and waivers with respect to any Collateral, in each case so long as the terms thereof do not violate or conflict with the terms of this Agreement or the First Lien Documents or the Second Lien Documents, as applicable. In any event, if a respective intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) exists, the provisions thereof shall not be (or be construed to be) an amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement or any other First Lien Document or Second Lien Document, and the provisions of this Agreement and the other First Lien Documents and Second Lien Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (as such provisions may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, including to give effect to any intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement)).
(a)    In addition, in the event that the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries incurs any obligations in respect of Indebtedness that is permitted by the First Lien Documents and the Second Lien Documents to be secured by a Lien on any Collateral that is junior to the Liens thereon securing all First Lien Obligations and all Second Lien Obligations, then the First Lien Collateral Agent and/or the Second Lien Collateral Agent may, upon the request of the Lux Borrower enter into an Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Initial Second Lien Document on the date hereof and/or, in each case, any similar term in any First Lien Document and/or any Second Lien Document, as applicable) or another intercreditor agreement that is reasonably satisfactory to the applicable First Lien Collateral Agents and the Second Lien Collateral Agents with the holders of such other obligations (or their agent, trustee or other representative) to reflect the relative Lien priorities of such parties with respect to the Collateral (or the relevant portion thereof) and governing the relative rights, benefits and privileges as among such parties in respect of such Collateral, including as to application of the proceeds of such Collateral, voting rights, control of such Collateral and waivers with respect to such Collateral, in each case, so long as such secured obligations are not prohibited by, and the terms of such intercreditor agreement (or the execution thereof by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent) do not violate or conflict with, the provisions of this Agreement or any of the First Lien Documents or Second Lien Documents, as the case may be. If any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) is entered into, the provisions thereof shall not be (or be construed to be) an amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement or any First Lien Documents or Second Lien Documents, and the provisions of this Agreement, the First Lien Documents and Second Lien Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (as such provisions may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time in accordance with the respective terms thereof, including to give effect to any intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement)) and in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such other intercreditor agreement as it relates to the First Lien Claimholders on the one hand and the Second Lien Claimholders on the other hand, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.
9.23    Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date on which (a) each Obligor, the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Credit Agreement Representative, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Initial Second Lien Document Representative shall have signed a counterpart hereof

45



(whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered the same to the First Lien Collateral Agent and (b) the Lux Borrower shall have delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer (1) certifying that the incurrence of the Initial Second Lien Document Obligations and the Liens on the Collateral securing the Initial Second Lien Document Obligations will not, in each case, violate the terms of any First Lien Financing Document and (2) including at least one of the following: (A) a certification that the incurrence of the Initial Second Lien Document Obligations and the Liens on the Collateral securing the Initial Second Lien Document Obligations is not prohibited by any First Lien Financing Document regardless of whether any “Event of Default” (as defined in such First Lien Financing Document) shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) a certification that no “Event of Default” (as defined in such First Lien Financing Document) shall have occurred and be continuing or (C) a specification of the baskets or exceptions to Sections 6.01 and 6.02 of the First Lien Credit Agreement pursuant to which the incurrence of the Initial Second Lien Document Obligations and the Liens on the Collateral securing the Initial Second Lien Document Obligations is permitted (and, if any such basket or exception is subject to the condition that no “Event of Default” (as defined in such First Lien Financing Document) shall have occurred and be continuing, a certification of the kind set forth in the preceding clause (B)).
