(except that, in the case of Indebtedness used to finance working capital needs incurred under a revolving credit or similar arrangement, the amount thereof shall be deemed to be the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such period);

 (2) if since the beginning of such period the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary Transferred any assets in an
Asset Sale, EBITDA for such period shall be calculated by giving effect to the EBITDA (whether positive or negative) directly attributable to the assets which are the subject of such Transfer for such period, and Consolidated Fixed Charges for such

 ARTICLE 2 

THE NOTES 
 The
provisions of this Article 2 establish the form of the Notes under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.01.    Form and
Dating. 
 (a) General. The Series A Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially
in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage in addition to those set forth on
Exhibit A. The Series B Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly
agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

Notes offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of a single permanent global Note in registered
form, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Rule 144A Global Note”), deposited with the Trustee, as Custodian, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and
shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.14(g) hereof. The aggregate principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the Schedule of Increases and Decreases with respect
to the Rule 144A Global Note by the Trustee, or Custodian, as hereinafter provided. 
 Notes offered and sold in offshore
transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of a single temporary global Note in registered form, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Temporary Regulation S Global
Note”), deposited with the Trustee, as Custodian, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.14(g) hereof. At any time following 40 days
after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes and the Issue Date, upon receipt by the Trustee and the Issuer of a duly executed certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D(1) hereto, a single permanent Global
Note in registered form substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Permanent Regulation S Global Note,” and together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Note, the
“Regulation S Global Note”) duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided shall be deposited with the Custodian, and the Registrar shall reflect on the Schedule of Increases and
Decreases the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Note transferred. 

Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof to institutional “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),
(2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) (“Institutional Accredited Investors”) shall be issued in the form of a single global Note in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A
(the “IAI Global Notes”). 
 The Rule 144A Global Note, the Regulation S Global Note and the IAI
Global Note are sometimes referred to herein as the “Global Notes.” 

  
 -29-









  
 (b) Book-Entry
Provisions. This Section 2.01(b) shall only apply to Global Notes deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary. Participants and indirect participants shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note
held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as the custodian for the Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Depositary shall be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner
of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its participants or indirect participants, the Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of
a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. 
 (c) Certificated Notes. Except as otherwise provided herein,
owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes. 
 For
greater certainty, the provisions of this Section 2.01(c) are subject to the requirements relating to notations, legends or endorsements on Notes required by law, stock exchange rule, or agreements to which any the Issuer is subject, if any.

 SECTION 2.02.    Execution and Authentication. 

(a) One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. 

(b) If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall
nevertheless be valid. 
 (c) A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 (d) The Trustee shall, upon
a written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate (i) Series A Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$250.0 million, (ii) Certificated Notes and Global Notes issued pursuant to Sections 2.06 and 2.14 hereof, (iii) replacement Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, (iv) temporary Notes issued pursuant to
Section 2.10 hereof, and (v) new Notes issued pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof. The Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order together with the other documents required by Sections 11.04 hereof, shall authenticate
Series B Notes; provided that such Series B Notes shall be issuable only upon the valid surrender for cancellation of Series A Notes of a like aggregate principal amount in accordance with the Exchange Offer or an exchange offer
specified in any registration rights agreement relating to the Additional Notes. Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which such Notes are to be authenticated. 

(e) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the
appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an
Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer or any of their respective Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION
2.03.    Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 (a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes
may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the
Notes and of their transfer and 

  
 -30-









 
exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent”
includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer
fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

(b) The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the
Global Notes. 
 (c) The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian
with respect to the Global Notes, and the Trustee hereby initially agrees so to act. 
 (d) If Additional Interest is payable on
the Notes, the Issuer shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee on or before the record date for each Interest Payment Date such Additional Interest is payable setting forth the amount of such Additional Interest in reasonable
detail. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officer’s Certificate or other notice received from the Issuer relating to Additional Interest to any Holder upon request. 
 (e) The Issuer will be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes, including but not limited to determination of redemption price, premium, if any, and any additional amounts or other
amounts payable on the Notes. The Issuer will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Issuer will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when
requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Issuer’s calculations without independent verification. 
 SECTION 2.04.    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal and of premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any
such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying
Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by
it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 SECTION 2.05.    Holder Lists. 
 The Trustee shall
preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar,
the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date or such shorter time as the Trustee may
allow, as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). 

  
 -31-









  
 Holders may
communicate pursuant to Trust Indenture Act Section 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes. The Issuer, the Trustee, the Registrar and any other Person shall have the protection of Trust
Indenture Act Section 312(c). 
 SECTION 2.06.    Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes. Subject to Section 2.14, when certificated Notes are presented to the
Registrar with a request: 
 (1) to register the transfer of such certificated Notes; or 

(2) to exchange such certificated Notes for an equal principal amount of certificated Notes of other authorized
denominations, 
 the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such
transaction are met; provided, however, that the certificated Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the
Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; 
 (b) Restrictions on Transfer of
a Certificated Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. Subject to certain conditions, the Notes represented by the global securities will be exchangeable for certificated Notes in definitive form of like tenor as such Notes if
(1) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a
clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act or (2) the Issuer in its sole discretion at any time determines not to have all of the Notes represented by the Global Notes. 

Any Notes that are exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence will be exchanged for certificated Notes issuable in authorized
denominations and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.
Subject to Section 2.06(e) and Section 2.14, a Global Note is not exchangeable, except for a Global Note of the same aggregate denominations to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. The transfer and exchange of Global
Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. 

(d) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the
provisions set forth in subsection (e) of this Section 2.06), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of
the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

(e) Authentication in Absence of Depositary. If at any time: 

(1) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; or 

  
 -32-









  
 (2) the
Issuer in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for certificated Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; 

then the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate requesting the authentication and delivery of certificated
Notes to the Persons designated by the Issuer, will authenticate and deliver certificated Notes, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Global Notes, in exchange for such Global Notes. 

(f) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been
exchanged for certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in
a Global Note is exchanged for certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is
then the Custodian for such Global Note) and on the Schedule of Increases or Decreases with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, to reflect such reduction. 

(g) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. 

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate certificated Notes (if
permitted and required under this Indenture) and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request. 
 (2) No service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

(3) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (a) any Note selected for redemption in whole or
in part pursuant to Article 3, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (b) any Note for a period beginning 15 Business Days before the giving of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes or 15 Business Days
before an Interest Payment Date (whether or not an Interest Payment Date or other date determined for the payment of interest), and ending on such date the offer is given or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be. 

(4) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or
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 on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not
such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (5) 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. 
 (h) No Obligation of the Trustee. 

(1) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the
Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any 

  
 -33-









 
ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of
redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the
registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note in global form shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and
procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 

(2) The 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, without limitation, any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note)
other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial
compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 SECTION 2.07.    Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an
indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is
replaced. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Note had become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer, in its discretion, may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph. 

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally
and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and
shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies of any Holder with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note. 
 SECTION 2.08.    Outstanding Notes. 
 (a) The Notes
outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 3.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; however, Notes
held by the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 2.09. 
 (b)
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 

  
 -34-









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

(d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) segregates and holds in trust, in accordance
with this Indenture, on a date of redemption (a “Redemption Date”) or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes payable on that
date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 
 SECTION
2.09.    Treasury Notes. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Notes have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by any Affiliate of the Issuer, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
 SECTION 2.10.    Temporary Notes. 
 Until certificates
representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have
variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate certificated Notes in exchange for
temporary Notes. 
 Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

SECTION 2.11.    Cancellation. 
 The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange
or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, upon direction by the Issuer and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or
cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposal of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the
Issuer from time to time upon written request. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.12.    CUSIP or ISIN Numbers. 
 The Issuer in
issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” 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 and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN”
numbers. 

  
 -35-









  
 SECTION
2.13.    Additional Notes. 
 The Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with
Section 4.09, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in an unlimited aggregate principal amount which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price and first payment of
interest. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. 

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall deliver an Authentication Order to the Trustee, and shall set forth in a
resolution of its Board of Directors and an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
 (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and 

(b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number(s) of such Additional Notes. 

SECTION 2.14.    Transfer Provisions. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange Generally. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, and in addition to the requirements set forth in the legend referred to in Section 2.14(g)(i) hereof, in
connection with any transfer of Transfer Restricted Securities any request for transfer shall be accompanied by a certification to the Trustee relating to the manner of such transfer substantially in the form of Exhibit D(2) hereto.

 (b) Book-Entry Provisions for the Global Notes. The Rule 144A Global Note and Regulation S Global Note initially shall
(i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Custodian and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.14(g) hereof. 

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with
respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or the Custodian, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the applicable Global Note for all
purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. 
 Transfers of the Global Notes shall be limited to transfers of such Global Notes in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Beneficial interests in the
Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.06 and this Section 2.14. The registration of transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the
Global Note, which does not involve the issuance of a Certificated Note, shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any act or omission of the Depositary. 

  
 -36-









  
 (c) Transfers to
Non-QIB Institutional Accredited Investors. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security to any Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a QIB (other than
any Person that is not a U.S. Person, as defined under Regulation S, a “Foreign Person”): 
 (i) the Registrar shall register the transfer of any Note, whether or not such Note bears the Private Placement Legend, if the proposed transferee has delivered to the Registrar (A) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit D(2) hereto and (B) such certifications, legal opinions and other information as the Trustee and the Issuer may reasonably request to confirm that such transaction is in compliance with the Securities
Act; and 
 (ii) if the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in the Global Note,
upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the documents, if any, required by clause (i) and (y) instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on the Schedule of
Increases and Decreases the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and an increase in the principal amount of the IAI
Global Notes in an amount equal to the principal amount of the certificated Notes or the interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the certificated Notes or decrease the

 REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 
 SECTION 3.01.    Notices to Trustee.

 If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 of this Indenture and
paragraph 5 of the Notes, it shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount
of Notes to be redeemed, and (iv) the redemption price. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.07 of this Indenture and paragraph 5 of the Notes, it shall furnish such Officer’s Certificate to the
Trustee at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Each Officer’s Certificate shall be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel from the Issuer to the
effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall, therefore, be void and of no effect. If the redemption price is
not known at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price, calculated as provided here and in the Notes, will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days
prior to the Redemption Date. 
 SECTION 3.02.    Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to
be redeemed or purchased on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. No
Notes of principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding
sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. 

SECTION 3.03.    Notice of Redemption. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Issuer shall send a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be
redeemed at its registered address. 

  
 -41-









  
 The notice shall
identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP or ISIN number) and shall state: 
 (a) the Redemption
Date; 
 (b) the redemption price; 

(c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after
the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note, or an adjustment on the Schedule of Increases and Decreases with respect
to Global Notes; 
 (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price (or manner of
calculation if not then known); 
 (f) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment,
interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 
 (g) the paragraph
of the Notes and Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense;
provided, however, that the Issuer gives the Trustee at least 3 Business Days prior notice of such request. 
 SECTION
3.04.    Effect of Notice Upon Redemption. 
 Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with
Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the
notice, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on the related Interest Payment 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 3.05.    Deposit of Redemption
Price. 
 On or before 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes (or portions of Notes) to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the
Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 
 If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption,


  
 -42-









 
whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on or after a regular record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid
interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such regular record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the
Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. 
 SECTION 3.06.    Notes Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall
authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 4.10 or 4.13, as the case may be, and the length of time the Offer to Purchase shall remain open;

has the right to require the Issuer to purchase such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof or (b) in the case of a Net Proceeds Offer, there are Excess Proceeds and such Holder has the
right to require the Issuer to purchase such Holder’s Notes at the Offered Price, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Purchase Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date fixed for purchase);

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

 (10) that, in the case of an Offer to Purchase, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered by Holders
into an Offer to Purchase exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased (i) if the Notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are then
listed or (ii) if the Notes are not so listed, subject to Applicable Procedures, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so

conditions of the Escrow Agreement (the “Release Date”) on or before the Escrow End Date or (ii) prior to the Escrow End Date, the Issuer has determined, in its reasonable discretion, that the escrow conditions cannot be
satisfied by such date (any such date, a “Trigger Date”). The Issuer will cause the notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to be sent promptly following the Trigger Date and will redeem the Notes no later than five Business Days

periods provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) by which the Issuer would be required so to file such documents if the Issuer were so subject (the “Required Filing Dates”), unless, in any case, if such filings are not
then permitted by the Commission. 
 (b) If such filings with the Commission are not then permitted by the Commission, or such
filings are not generally available on the Internet free of charge, the Issuer will, within 15 days of each Required Filing Date, transmit by mail to Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Note register, without cost to such Holders,
and file with the Trustee copies of, the annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Issuer would be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Issuer were
subject to such Section 13(a) or 15(d), and, promptly upon written request, supply copies of such documents to any prospective holder or beneficial owner at the Issuer’s cost. 

(c) So long as the rules and regulations of the Commission would allow (including pursuant to any applicable exemptive relief) the Issuer
to file periodic reports or information (if they were required by the Exchange Act to file such reports or information) on a consolidated or combined basis, the Issuer will be deemed to have satisfied their requirements in Sections 4.03(a) and
(b) if the Issuer files the reports and other information of the types otherwise so required within the applicable time periods. 
 (d) The Issuer shall at all times comply with Trust Indenture Act § 314(a). 
 (e) Should the Issuer deliver to the Trustee any such information, reports or certificates or any annual reports, information, documents and other reports pursuant to Trust Indenture
Act § 314(a), delivery of such information, reports or certificates or any annual reports, information, documents and other reports to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 SECTION 4.04.    Compliance Certificate.

Section 4.07(b)), would exceed the sum (the “Basket”) of: 
 (A) 50% of the
Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from the first day of the Issuer’s fiscal quarter during which the Issue Date occurs to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter prior to the date of such

 (b) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not prohibit the following: 
 (1) dividends paid within 90 days after the date of declaration thereof if at such date of declaration such dividend would have been permitted under this Indenture;

(6) (x) the guarantee by the Issuer or any Guarantor of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor and (y) the

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of
more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in Sections 4.09(b)(1) through (19) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may divide and classify
such Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described and may later redivide and reclassify such item into any one or more of the categories of Indebtedness described above (provided that at the time of reclassification it
meets the criteria in such category or categories); provided that any Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facilities on the Release Date, after the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be treated as Incurred
on the Release Date under clause (3) of the second paragraph above. The maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as the result of
fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. In determining the amount of Indebtedness outstanding under one of the clauses above, the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness of any Person shall be counted only once and any
obligation of such Person or any other Person arising under any guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded so long as it is permitted to be incurred by the Person or Persons incurring
such obligation. 

  
 -54-









  
 (d) Accrual of
interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may
be, of the same class will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock. 
 (e) For
purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09, any other obligation of the obligor on such Indebtedness (or of any other Person who could have
incurred such Indebtedness under this Section 4.09) arising under any Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded to the extent that
such Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation secures the principal amount of such Indebtedness. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.09(a) through (e), the Issuer will not, and will not permit any other Guarantor to, incur any Indebtedness that purports to be by its terms (or by the
terms of any agreement or instrument governing such Indebtedness) subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or of such other Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms made
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as applicable, to at least the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to such other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the
case may be. 
 SECTION 4.10.    Asset Sales. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate any
Asset Sale unless: 
 (i) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such
Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets included in such Asset Sale; and 
 (ii) at
least 75% of the total consideration received in such Asset Sale consists of cash, Temporary Cash Investments or assets referred to in clause (c) below, in each case, valued at the Fair Market Value thereof, or a combination of the foregoing.

 For purposes of Section 4.10(a)(ii), the following shall be deemed to be cash: 

(A) the amount (without duplication) of any liability (other than Subordinated Obligations) that would be recorded on a
balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly (I) assumed by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, or (II) expunged by the holder of such liability, and with
respect to which, in each case, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released from further liability with respect thereto; 

(B) the amount of any obligations or securities received from such Transferee that are within 180 days repaid, converted
into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash or Temporary Cash Investments (to the extent of the cash or Temporary Cash Investments actually so received); 

  
 -55-









  
 (C) any
contingent earn-out obligation received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate potential payout, taken together with all other contingent earn-out obligations received pursuant to this clause since the
Issue Date that are at the time outstanding and held by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, not to exceed $20.0 million; and 
 (D) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash
Consideration received pursuant to this clause since the Issue Date that is at the time outstanding and held by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, not to exceed the greater of (x) $25.0 million or (y) 5.5% of Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in
value. 
 If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with any
Asset Sale is repaid, converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash or Temporary Cash Investments (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion, sale or other
disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10. 

(b) If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than 365
days following the consummation thereof, apply an amount equal to all or any of the Net Available Proceeds therefrom as follows: 
 (i) to repay or otherwise retire amounts owing under the Credit Facilities in accordance with the Credit Facilities; 

(ii) to repay or otherwise retire amounts owing under other Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Obligations) that is
secured by a Lien, which Lien is permitted by this Indenture, and, in the case the Indebtedness repaid or retired is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; and/or 

(iii) to make (1) an Investment in or expenditure for assets (including Capital Stock of any Person) that replace the
assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in assets (including Capital Stock of any Person) that will be used in the Permitted Business and (2) capital expenditures that will be used in the Permitted Business (or, in each case of
(1) and (2), enter into a binding commitment for any such investment or expenditure); provided that such binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Proceeds from the date of such commitment until
and only until the earlier of (x) the date on which such investment or expenditure is consummated and (y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period. If the Investment or expenditure contemplated by such
binding commitment is not consummated on or before the 180th day, such commitment shall be deemed not to have been a permitted application of Net Available Proceeds. 
 In addition to the foregoing, any Investment, expenditure or capital expenditure of the type described in Sections 4.10(b)(i), (ii) and (iii), in each case made within 180 days prior to an Asset
Sale, shall be deemed to satisfy this Section 4.10(b) with respect to the application of the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Sale. 

  
 -56-









  
 The amount of Net
Available Proceeds not applied or invested as provided in this clause (b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” 
 (c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuer will be required to (and at any time the Issuer may) make an offer to purchase from all Holders an aggregate
principal amount of Notes and, if the Issuer is required to do so under the terms of any other Indebtedness ranking pari passu with such Notes, such other Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with the Notes, equal to the amount of such Excess
Proceeds (a “Net Proceeds Offer”) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09. 

The offer price for the Notes will be payable in cash and will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to
a Net Proceeds Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date such Net Proceeds Offer is consummated (the “Offered Price”). If the aggregate Offered Price of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by
Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, subject to Applicable Procedures, Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such Net Proceeds Offer in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the amount
of Excess Proceeds shall be reduced to zero. 
 To the extent that the aggregate Offered Price of Notes tendered pursuant to a
Net Proceeds Offer (and if applicable, the aggregate amount of pari passu Indebtedness being repaid, on a pro rata basis with the Notes) is less than the Excess Proceeds (such shortfall constituting a “Net Proceeds
Deficiency”), the Issuer may use the Net Proceeds Deficiency, or a portion thereof, for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (d) In the event of the Transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction covered by and effected in
accordance with Section 5.01, the Transferee shall be deemed to have sold for cash at Fair Market Value the assets of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries not so Transferred for purposes of this covenant, and shall comply with the
provisions of this Section 4.10 with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale (with such Fair Market Value being deemed to be Net Available Proceeds for such purpose). 

(e) Pending the final application of any Net Available Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or
otherwise invest the Net Available Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (f) The Issuer 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 any purchase of Notes pursuant to this Indenture. To the extent that the provisions of
any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of
this compliance. 
 SECTION 4.11.    Affiliate Transactions. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction
or series of related transactions, Transfer any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any affiliate of the Issuer (an
“Affiliate Transaction”), unless the terms thereof, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of such transaction in arm’s-length
dealings with a Person that is not such an affiliate. 

  
 -57-









  
 (b) The Board of
Directors must approve each Affiliate Transaction that involves aggregate payments or other assets or services with a Fair Market Value in excess of $25.0 million. This approval must be evidenced by a board resolution that states that such board has
determined that the transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. 
 (c) If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary enters
into an Affiliate Transaction that involves aggregate payments or other assets or services with a Fair Market Value in excess of $40.0 million, then prior to the consummation of that Affiliate Transaction, the Issuer must obtain a favorable opinion
from an Independent Financial Advisor that it has determined such Affiliate Transaction to be fair, from a financial point of view and deliver that opinion to the Trustee. 
 (d) The provisions of Sections 4.11(a), (b) and (c) shall not prohibit the following: 
 (1) transactions exclusively between, among or solely for the benefit of (i) the Issuer and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(2) customary director, officer and employee compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including retirement,
health, stock option and other benefit plans) and indemnification arrangements, and agreements to register securities of directors, officers, employees or other affiliates; 

(3) Restricted Payments which are made in accordance with Section 4.07 and Investments constituting Permitted
Investments; 
 (4) any issuance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Qualified Stock; 

(5) transactions with a Person that is an affiliate solely because the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary owns Capital
Stock in such Person; provided that no affiliate of the Issuer (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) owns more than 10% of the Capital Stock in such Person; 

(6) purchases and sales of raw materials or Inventory in the ordinary course of business on market terms; or 

(7) any agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendment or modification thereto so long as such
amendment or modification is not more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes in any material respect. 
 SECTION
4.12.    Liens. 
 The Issuer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness on any asset of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter
acquired, or any income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens (the “Initial Liens”), unless the Notes and the Guarantees are secured on an equal and ratable
basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien; provided that if the obligations so secured are subordinated in right of payment by their terms to the Notes or a Guarantee, the Lien
securing such obligations will also have subordinated Lien priority by its terms to the Lien securing the Notes and the Guarantees at least to a comparable extent. Any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the Notes pursuant to the
foregoing sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien.

 SECTION
4.13.    Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 
 (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder
will have the right to require the Issuer to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such holder’s Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price
equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or
prior to the date fixed for purchase), in accordance with the provisions of the next paragraph. 
 (b) Within 30 days following
any Change of Control, the Issuer shall send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased. 

(c) The Issuer 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 purchase of Notes pursuant to this Indenture. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under any covenant of this Indenture by virtue of this compliance. 
 (d) The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes such offer contemporaneously with or upon a Change of Control in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with this Section 4.13 and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such offer or (ii) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.09. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an offer to purchase the Notes upon a Change of Control may be made in
advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. 

SECTION 4.14.    Corporate Existence. 
 Except as otherwise permitted by Article 5, the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. 

SECTION 4.15.    Additional Guarantors. 
 The Issuer shall cause any Domestic Subsidiary, whether currently existing or subsequently acquired or created, that Guarantees the Issuer’s obligations or the obligations of any Domestic Subsidiary
(other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) under any Credit Facility to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt
payment of the principal of, premium, if any and interest on the Notes and all other obligations under this Indenture on a senior unsecured basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Guarantor is released and discharged in full from all
of its obligations under guarantees of any Credit Facility, then the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released or discharged; provided that such Restricted Subsidiary has not incurred any Indebtedness in
reliance on its status as a Guarantor under Section 4.09 unless such Guarantor’s obligations under such Indebtedness so incurred are satisfied in full or simultaneously discharged or are otherwise permitted under one of the exceptions
available to Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors under the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” at the time of such release.

 SECTION
4.16.    Suspension of Covenants. 
 During any period of time following the Issue Date that
(i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively
referred to as a “Covenant Suspension”), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture (the “Suspended Covenants”): 

(1) Section 4.07; 
 (2) Section 4.08; 
 (3) Section 4.09; 

(4) Section 4.10; 
 (5) Section 4.11; 
 (6) Section 4.15; 

(7) Section 4.17; and 
 (8) clause (c)(1) of Section 5.01. 
 In the event that the Issuer 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”) (a) 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 or (b) the Issuer or any of its Affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change of
Control and one or more of the Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, such transaction (alone or together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating or
downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period
beginning on the first day of a Covenant Suspension and ending on a Reversion Date is called a “Suspension Period.” The Issuer shall notify the Trustee and the Holders of the commencement or termination of any Suspension
Period. The ability of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries to make Restricted Payments after the time of such withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default will be calculated as if the covenant governing Restricted Payments had been in
effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date. Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the
Suspension Period (or upon termination thereof or thereafter based solely upon events that occurred during the Suspension Period). On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred or Preferred Stock issued by Restricted Subsidiaries during the
Suspension Period will be deemed to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(2). 
 SECTION
4.17.    Conduct of Business. 
 The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, engage in any business other than the Permitted Business.

(2) each of the conditions specified in Section 5.01(c) (other than Section 5.01(c)(1)) is satisfied.

 The requirements of Sections 5.01(a) and (b) shall not apply to (x) a consolidation or merger of any Guarantor with

exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named as such and that, in the event of a Transfer, the Transferor shall be released from the provisions of
this Indenture.

 (f)
default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness now exists or

 (A) is caused by a failure to pay such Indebtedness at Stated Maturity
(after giving effect to any grace period related thereto) (a “Payment Default”); or 

(B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity 

and in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness as to which a Payment Default or acceleration shall have occurred,
together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more, and such Indebtedness has not been discharged or such
acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 20 days, as applicable;

 -63-









  
 (h) a
court having jurisdiction in the premises enters (x) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or (y) a decree or order adjudging the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of or in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or
any of its Significant Subsidiaries or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in
effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; 
 (i) the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries: 

(i) commences a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other similar law or any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; or 
 (ii)
consents to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or 
 (iii) files a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law; or

the terms of such Guarantee and this Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or is found invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Guarantee). 
 SECTION 6.02.    Acceleration. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 6.01(h) and (i) with respect to
the Issuer), the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of 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 

  
 -64-









 
immediately. If an Event of Default described in Sections 6.01(h) and (i) occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and interest on all the Notes will immediately become due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders of the Notes. 
 At any time after a
declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences (i) if the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (iii) to the extent the payment
of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (iv) if the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable
compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clauses (h) of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have
received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission or cancellation shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

SECTION 6.03.    Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on
the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, the Guarantees, or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay
or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the
extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 6.04.    Waivers. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive
any past Default or any existing Event of Default hereunder with respect to such Notes and its consequences, except a continuing Default or an Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes
(provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any
such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or Event of Default (other than Defaults or Events of Default arising from the Defaults or Events of Default being waived) or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 6.05.    Control by Majority. 
 Subject to the
restrictions set forth in this Indenture, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any
trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the
Trustee in personal liability. 

  
 -65-









  
 SECTION
6.06.    Limitation on Suits. 
 Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal or
interest and Additional Interest, if any, when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (b) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

(c) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

 (d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of
security or indemnity; and 
 (e) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not
given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 
 SECTION 6.07.    Rights of
Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to
receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 6.08.    Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the
Issuer for the whole amount of principal of and premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover
the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 SECTION 6.09.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The
Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect,
receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out
of the 

  
 -66-









 
estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities
and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding. The Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 

SECTION 6.10.    Priorities. 
 If after an Event of Default any moneys or properties distributable in respect of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, or any money or property collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article, shall be paid or distributed in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee,
its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

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

Third: to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10. 

SECTION 6.11.    Undertaking for Costs. 
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the
filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.06, or a suit by Holders of more than
10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee must send to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or
interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.

 (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee
(unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of willful misconduct on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate; 
 (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,

hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 

(h) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless either (1) a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Issuer or any Guarantor or by any Holder;

 (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith
and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 
 (j) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of
whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and 
 (k) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee
in each of its capacities hereunder, and each Agent, Custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
 SECTION
7.04.    Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. 
 The recitals contained herein and in
the Notes and Guarantees, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer or the Guarantors, and the Trustee does not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes or the Guarantees. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of the Notes or the proceeds thereof. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the Offering Memorandum and shall have no responsibility for its contents. 
 SECTION 7.05.    May
Hold Notes and Serve as Trustee Under Other Indentures. 
 The Trustee, any Paying Agent or any other agent of the Issuer, in
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Sections 7.08 and 7.13, may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent or such other agent.

 Subject to the provisions of Section 7.08, the Trustee may become and act as trustee under other indentures under which
other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Issuer are outstanding in the same manner as if it were not Trustee. 

  
 -69-









  
 SECTION
7.06.    Money Held in Trust. 
 Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Issuer. 

SECTION 7.07.    Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The Issuer agrees 
 (a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(b) to reimburse the Trustee, and each predecessor Trustee, upon its request for all expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall be
determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct; and 
 (c) to fully indemnify the
Trustee, and each predecessor Trustee, for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the

As security for the performance of the obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the
Notes upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(h) or (i) or in connection with Article 6, the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the service in connection therewith are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any bankruptcy law. The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture. 

The Trustee shall comply with Section 313(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable. 

SECTION 7.08.    Disqualification: Conflicting Interests. 

If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either
eliminate such interest or resign to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. There shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(i) of the Trust Indenture
Act any series of indenture securities under this Indenture and any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors are outstanding if the
requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(i) are met. 
 SECTION 7.09.    Corporate Trustee
Required: Eligibility. 
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, 

  
 -70-









 
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State
authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.09, the combined capital and surplus of
such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 7.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 7. 
 SECTION
7.10.    Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
 (a) No resignation or removal of the
Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11. 

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee required by Section 7.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by act of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class, delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 7.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(d) If at any time: 
 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08(a) after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months, or 

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor
by the Issuer or by any such Holder, or 
 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged
a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (i) the Issuer by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (ii) subject to
Section 6.05, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Issuer, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes 

  
 -71-









 
then outstanding voting as a single class delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11, become the successor Trustee and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the
Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 7.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) The Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee in the manner provided in Section 11.02. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

SECTION 7.11.    Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Issuer and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Issuer or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Any
Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain its prior lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.07. 

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, the Issuer, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor
Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

 (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7.11, as the case may be. 

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article 7. 
 SECTION 7.12.    Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be 

  
 -72-









 
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such
successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. 
 SECTION 7.13.    Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Issuer. 
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Securities),
the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Issuer (or any such other obligor). 
 SECTION 7.14.    Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 
 Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2011, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall send to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date
that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA
§ 313(b). the Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 
 A copy of each
report at the time of its delivery to the Holders shall be mailed or delivered to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Company has informed the Trustee in writing the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA
§ 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

SECTION 8.01.    Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, at any time,
elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 applied to all outstanding Notes and Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 SECTION 8.02.    Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon
the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that
the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the
other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund
described in Section 8.04, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect
to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02, (c) the rights, 

  
 -73-









 
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s and Guarantors obligations in connection therewith and (d) the provisions of this Article 8 with
respect to Legal Defeasance. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. 

SECTION 8.03.    Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04 and the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.02 through 4.13, Sections 4.15 through 4.17 and Section 5.01(c)(1) with respect to the outstanding
Notes and Guarantees on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes and Guarantees shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding”
for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it
being understood that such Notes and Guarantees shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, the Issuer and Guarantors may omit to
comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in
any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and
such Notes and Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04 and Sections 6.01(c), (d),(e), (f), (g) and (j) shall not constitute Events of Default. 
 SECTION
8.04.    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The following shall be the conditions to the
application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 to the outstanding Notes: 
 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance: 
 (a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the Holders, cash in United States dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the
principal amount at maturity of, premium and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be; 

(b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, there has
been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income
tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

  
 -74-









  
 (c) in
the case of an election under Section 8.03, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not
recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article 8 concurrently with such
incurrence and the grant of a Lien to secure such Indebtedness) or insofar as Section 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under this Indenture (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing) or any other material agreement or instrument to which the
Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (f)
the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Issuer or with the intent of defeating,
hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Issuer or others; 
 (g) the Issuer shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and 

(h) the Issuer shall have paid or duly provided for payment of all amounts then due to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 7.07. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (b) above with respect to a
Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not therefor delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and payable, or (B) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer. 
 SECTION
8.05.    Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 All cash and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the
“Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such
cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 -75-









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

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

 SECTION 8.06.    Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture shall be discharged and this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further
effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when (i) either (a) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered
(except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from
such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, (b) all outstanding Notes (I) have become due and payable or (II) will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by such Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon
redemption all outstanding Notes, including interest thereon, and (III) the Issuer has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Issuer. The Trustee will acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture if the Issuer
has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, at the cost and expense of the Issuer, stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have
been complied with. 
 SECTION 8.07.    Repayment to Issuer. 

Any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust
for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if
then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and
securities, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause
to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. 
 SECTION
8.08.    Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or non-callable
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application,


  
 -76-









 
then the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as
the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash and securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any,
or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the cash and securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

SECTION 8.09.    Survival. 
 The Trustee’s rights under this Article 8 shall survive termination of this Indenture or the resignation of the Trustee. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

SECTION 9.01.    Without Consent of Holder.

 SECTION
9.02.    Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. 
 Except as provided below in this
Section 9.02, this Indenture (including Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.13), the Guarantees and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting
as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes
may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes).
The provisions of Section 2.08 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of
evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or
supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated
to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes
under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under Sections 9.01 or 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall send to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of
the Issuer to send such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver
under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a) reduce
the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note; 
 (b) alter the provisions with respect to the
redemption or purchase provisions of any Note or this Indenture in a manner adverse to the holders of the Notes (other than the provisions of this Indenture relating to any offer to purchase required under Section 4.13); 

(c) waive a redemption or purchase payment due with respect to any Note; 

(d) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; 

(e) waive a Default in the payment of principal or interest on the Note (except that holders of at least at majority
aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes may (x) rescind acceleration of the Notes that resulted from a non-payment and (y) waive the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

  
 -78-









  
 (f)
make the principal of or interest on any Note payable in money other than United States Dollars; 
 (g) make any
change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or interest on the Notes; 

(h) make the Notes or any Guarantee subordinated by their or its terms in right of payment to any other Indebtedness;

 (i) release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from its Guarantee except in compliance with this
Indenture; or 
 (j) make any change in the amendment and waiver provisions of this Indenture 

SECTION 9.03.    Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 
 Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 

SECTION 9.04.    Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder or portion thereof that evidences the same debt as
the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion thereof if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation
before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter shall bind every Holder. 

SECTION 9.05.    Trustee to Sign Amendments. 
 The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of
the Trustee. None of the Issuer nor any Guarantor may sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until its board of directors (or committee serving a similar function) approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the
Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture and that such amended or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and that
such amended or supplemental indenture complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03).

 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 
 SECTION
10.01.    Guarantees. 
 Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, to
each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary
obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being
hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such
Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. 
 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 obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy
against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or
provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any
right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations; or (f) except as set forth in Section 10.06, any change in the ownership of such Guarantor. 
 Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any
resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 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 Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 
 Each Guarantor agrees
that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations 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
Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and
payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 10.01. 
 Each Guarantor
also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

 SECTION
10.02.    Limitation on Liability. 
 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder,
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor (a) not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee, and (b) not result in a distribution to shareholders not permitted under the applicable state law. Any term or provision of this Indenture to
the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed 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. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee will be entitled to a
contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount pro rata, based on the net assets of each Guarantor. 
 SECTION
10.03.    Successors and Assigns. 
 This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the 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 10.04.    No Waiver. 
 Neither a failure nor a
delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 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 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 10 at
law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 
 SECTION 10.05.    Release of Guarantor. 

The Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon any of the following:

 (a) any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) by the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Peron or Persons, as a result of which the Restricted Subsidiary is no longer a Subsidiary of the Issuer, of a majority of the Capital Stock of, or all or substantially all the assets of, such Restricted
Subsidiary, which sale, exchange or transfer is made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (b)
the designation of such Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; or 
 (c) the release of such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee under any Credit Facility; 

provided, in each such case, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (and upon receipt of
such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel the Trustee will execute an instrument confirming such release upon request of the Issuer), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such
transactions have been complied with and that such release is authorized and permitted under this Indenture. 

  
 -81-









  
 SECTION
10.06.    Contribution. 
 Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled
upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations to contribution from each Guarantor, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time
of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date fixed for redemption). Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Issuer must send, by first class mail, a notice to each

transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or
15 days before an Interest Payment Date.

	12.	Amendment, Waiver 

 Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding

the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Without the consent of
any Holder, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes to add a Guarantor, to release a Guarantor
from its Guarantee when permitted by the Indenture, to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer, to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the
qualifications of the Indenture under the TIA, to provide for or confirm the issuance of additional Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor
trustee; to make any other change that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder, or to conform the text of the Indenture to the Description of Notes contained in the Offering Memorandum, dated November 3, 2010 used to
offer the Notes to prospective Holders. 
  

	13.	Defaults and Remedies

aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes; (v) failure to perform or comply with any covenant, agreement or warranty in the Indenture (other than specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) which failure continues

indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness now exists or is created after the Issue
Date, which (A) is caused by a failure to pay such Indebtedness at Stated Maturity (after giving effect to any grace period related thereto) (a “Payment Default”); or (B) results in the acceleration of such
Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity. In each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness as to which a Payment Default or acceleration shall

relief in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law or (y) a decree or order adjudging the
Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries
under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or of any substantial part of its property, or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; (viii) one or more final and
non-appealable judgments, orders or decrees for the payment of money of $25.0 million or more, individually or in the aggregate, shall be entered against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective properties and which final
and non-appealable judgments, orders or decrees are not covered by third party indemnitees or insurance as to which coverage has not been disclaimed or are not paid, discharged, bonded or stayed within 60 days after their entry; (ix) the Issuer
or any of its Significant Subsidiaries: commences a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or
insolvent; or consents to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or files a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable
federal or state law; or consents to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries or any of any substantial part of its property; or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or takes corporate action in furtherance of any such
action; or (x) the Guarantee of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee and the Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or
is found invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Guarantee). If any Event of Default occurs and is
continuing (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (viii) or (ix) above), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid
interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”, and the same shall become immediately due and payable.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or
power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture and the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in
personal liability. The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a
statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date fixed for redemption). Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Issuer must send, by first class mail, a notice to each
Holder, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer and shall be in compliance with the Indenture. Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with

transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or
15 days before an Interest Payment Date.

	12.	Amendment, Waiver 

 Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Without the consent of
any Holder, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes to add a Guarantor, to release a Guarantor
from its Guarantee when permitted by the Indenture, to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer, to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the
qualifications of the Indenture under the TIA, to provide for or confirm the issuance of additional Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor
trustee; to make any other change that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder, or to conform the text of the Indenture to the Description of Notes contained in the Offering Memorandum, dated November 3, 2010 used to
offer the Notes to prospective Holders. 
  

	12.	Defaults and Remedies 

 Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on any Note; (ii) default in the payment when due of principal on any Note, whether upon maturity,
acceleration, optional redemption, required repurchase or otherwise; (iii) failure to perform or comply with the covenants described in Section 4.13; (iv) failure to perform or comply with the covenants described in Section 4.03
and continuance of such failure to perform or comply for a period of 90 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Notes; (v) failure to perform or comply with any covenant, agreement or warranty in the Indenture (other than specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) which failure continues for 60 days after written
notice hereof has been given to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes; (vi) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under
which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness now exists or is created after the Issue Date, which (A) is caused
by a failure to pay such Indebtedness at Stated Maturity (after giving effect to any grace period related thereto) (a “Payment Default”); or (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated
Maturity. In each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness as to which a Payment Default or acceleration shall have occurred, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default
or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more, and such Indebtedness has not been discharged or such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 20 days, as applicable; (vii) a court having
jurisdiction in the premises enters (x) a

decree for order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar law or (y) a decree or order adjudging the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
of or in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
period of 60 consecutive days; (viii) one or more final and non-appealable judgments, orders or decrees for the payment of money of $25.0 million or more, individually or in the aggregate, shall be entered against the Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary or any of their respective properties and which final and non-appealable judgments, orders or decrees are not covered by third party indemnitees or insurance as to which coverage has not been disclaimed or are not paid, discharged, bonded
or stayed within 60 days after their entry; (ix) the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries: commences a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or
any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; or consents to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or files a petition or
answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law; or consents to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any of any substantial part of its property; or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they become due; or takes corporate action in furtherance of any such action; or (x) the Guarantee of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such
Guarantee and the Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or is found invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture and the Guarantee). If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default described in clause (viii) or (ix) above), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of
acceleration”, and the same shall become immediately due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture and the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to
the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required upon becoming aware
of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

Trustee. 
  

	15.	No Recourse Against Others 

 Any past, present, or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, as such, of the Issuer, any Guarantors or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer
or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture, the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.
