computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such
Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in the first paragraph of this definition. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency
interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.

ARTICLE 2 

THE NOTES 
 Section 2.01. Form, Dating and Denominations; Legends.  
 (a) The
Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A. The terms and provisions contained in the form of the Notes annexed as Exhibit A constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law or rules of or agreements with national securities exchanges to which the Issuer is subject. Each Note will be dated the date of its
authentication. The Notes will be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 in principal amount and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (b) (1) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c), Section 2.10(b)(3), (b)(5), or (c) or Section 2.09(b)(4), each Note (other than a Permanent Offshore Note) will bear the Restricted
Legend. 
 (2) Each Global Note, whether or not an Original Note or an Additional Note, will bear the DTC Legend.

 (3) Each Temporary Offshore Global Note will bear the Temporary Offshore Global Note Legend. 

(4) Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be issued as provided in Section 2.11(a). 

(5) Notes offered and sold in reliance on any exception under the Securities Act other than Regulation S and Rule 144A
will be issued, and upon the request of the Issuer to the Trustee, Notes offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A may be issued, in the form of Certificated Notes. 

  
 38 









 (6) Notes resold to Institutional Accredited Investors will be in the form
of an IAI Global Note. 
 (c) If the Issuer determines (upon the advice of counsel and such other certifications and evidence as
the Issuer may reasonably require) that a Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) without the need for current public information and that the Restricted Legend is no longer necessary or
appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of the Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act, the Issuer may instruct the Trustee to cancel the Note and issue to the Holder thereof (or to
its transferee) a new Note of like tenor and amount, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend, and the Trustee will comply with such instruction. 

(d) By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Legend (or any beneficial interest in such a Note), each Holder thereof and each
owner of a beneficial interest therein acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note (and any such beneficial interest) set forth in this Indenture and in the Restricted Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note (and any such
beneficial interest) only in accordance with this Indenture and such legend. 
 Section 2.02. Execution and
Authentication; Additional Notes.  
 (a) An Officer shall execute the Notes for the Issuer by facsimile or manual signature
in the name and on behalf of the Issuer. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note will still be valid. 

(b) A Note will not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note, with the signature
conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 (c) At any time and from time to time after
the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication. The Trustee will authenticate and deliver: 

(i) Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $700,000,000, and 

(ii) Additional Notes from time to time for original issue in aggregate principal amounts specified by the Issuer

 after the following conditions have been met: 
 (1) Receipt by the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate specifying 
 (A) the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, 

  
 39 









 (B) whether the Notes are to be Original Notes or Additional Notes,

 (C) in the case of Additional Notes, that the issuance of such Notes does not contravene any provision of
Article 4, 
 (D) whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global Notes or Certificated Notes, and

 (E) other information the Issuer may determine to include or the Trustee may reasonably request. 

(2) In the case of Additional Notes, if the Issuer determines the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Original
Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP. 
 (d) Original Notes and any
Additional Notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture and will vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 2.03. Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent; Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.  
 (a) The Issuer may appoint one or more Registrars and one or more Paying Agents, and the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent, in which case each reference in this Indenture to the Trustee in
respect of the obligations of the Trustee to be performed by that Agent will be deemed to be references to the Agent. The Issuer may act as Registrar or (except for purposes of Article 8) Paying Agent. In each case the Issuer and the Trustee will
enter into an appropriate agreement with the Agent implementing the provisions of this Indenture relating to the obligations of the Trustee to be performed by the Agent and the related rights. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar
and Paying Agent. 
 (b) The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying
Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and will promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such
payment. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a
Paying Agent, require the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent will have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. 

Section 2.04. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has
been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee will authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Every replacement Note is an additional


  
 40 









 
obligation of the Issuer and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity must be furnished that is sufficient in the judgment of both the
Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer and the Trustee from any loss they may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Issuer and the Trustee in replacing a Note. In case the mutilated, lost,
destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay the Note instead of issuing a replacement Note. 
 Section 2.05. Outstanding Notes. (a) Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for: 

(1) Notes cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to it for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.07; 

(2) any Note which has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.04 unless and until the Trustee and the Issuer receive
proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser; and 
 (3) on or after
the maturity date or any Redemption Date or date for purchase of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.12 or Section 4.13, those Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date for which the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the
Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) holds money sufficient to pay all amounts then due. 
 (b) A Note does not cease to be
outstanding because the Issuer or one of its Affiliates holds the Note, provided that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given or taken any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder, Notes owned by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding (it being understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in
relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes which the Trustee knows to be so owned will be so disregarded). Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded
as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer. 

Section 2.06. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee will
authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Notes, as
evidenced by the execution of the temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable
for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer designated for the purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary


  
 41 









 
Notes the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes. 
 Section 2.07.
Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold. Any Registrar or the Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee will cancel
all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of them in accordance with its normal procedures or the written instructions of the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.08. CUSIP and CINS Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes
may use “CUSIP” and “CINS” numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers or CINS numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Change of Control or Asset Sale Offers as a convenience to Holders, the notice to state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any
change in the CUSIP or CINS numbers. 
 Section 2.09. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Notes will
be issued in registered form only, without coupons, and the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to maintain a register (the “Register”) of the Notes, for registering the record ownership of the Notes by the Holders and transfers and
exchanges of the Notes. 
 (b) (1) Each Global Note will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and, so long
as DTC is serving as the Depositary thereof, will bear the DTC Legend. 
 (2) Each Global Note will be delivered
to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary. Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except
(1) as set forth in Section 2.09(b)(4) and (2) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Notes may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the
Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section and Section 2.10. 
 (3) Agent Members will have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any
agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any
Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a 

  
 42 









 
Global Note through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its
Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security. 
 (4) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of
the notice or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a request from the Depositary, the Trustee will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes
in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depositary, and thereupon the Global Note will be deemed canceled. If such
Note does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend. If such Note bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will bear the
Restricted Legend, provided that any Holder of any such Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note will have the right upon presentation to the Trustee of a duly completed Certificate of
Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to exchange such Certificated Note for a Certificated Note of like tenor and amount that does not bear the Restricted Legend, registered in the name of such Holder. 

(c) Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the holder thereof or its nominee. 

(d) A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest
therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other
document required by Section 2.10. The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided that

 (x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such register and 

(y) the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15
days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, an Asset Sale Offer or other tender offer, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole
or in part, except, in the case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer is to occur after
a Regular Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase. 

  
 43 









 Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and their agents will
treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary. 

From time to time the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the
registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section. 
 No service charge will be imposed in connection with
any transfer or exchange of any Note, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge
payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(4)). 
 (e) (1) If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or
exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and
(y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an
interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if
any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 
 (2) If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the
principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such
beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as applicable. 
 (3) If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in the principal
amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder
thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.


  
 44 









 (4) If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for another
Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such
transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the
untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. 

Section 2.10. Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange. (a) The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest
therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section and Section 2.09 and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee shall refuse to register any
requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence. 
 (b) Subject to paragraph (c), the transfer
or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth in column A below for a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth opposite in column B below may only be made in compliance with the certification
requirements (if any) described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite in column C below.

Restricted Legend, then no certification is required. In the event that (i) the requested transfer or exchange takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Trustee or (ii) a
Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend. 

(4) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed
Rule 144A Certificate. 
 (5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such exchange is
permitted if the requested exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note. If the requested transfer involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note, the Person requesting the transfer must deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee (x) a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate or (y) a duly completed Institutional Accredited Investor Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Issuer may
reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed transfer is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. If the requested transfer or exchange involves a beneficial
interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, no certification is required and the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend. 
 (c) No certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act (or a successor provision) without the need for current public information; provided that the Issuer has provided the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate to that effect, and the Issuer may require from any Person requesting a
transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause (c) an opinion of counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate. Any Certificated Note delivered in reliance upon this paragraph will not bear
the Restricted Legend. 
 (d) The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in
connection with the transfer or exchange of a Note (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Issuer will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Trustee. 

Section 2.11. Temporary Offshore Global Notes. (a) Each Note originally sold by the Initial Purchasers in reliance upon
Regulation S will be evidenced by one or more Offshore Global Notes that bear the Temporary Offshore Global Note Legend. 

  
 46 









 (b) An owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note (or a Person
acting on behalf of such an owner) may provide to the Trustee (and the Trustee will accept) a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership at any time after the Restricted Period (it being understood that the Trustee will not accept any such
certificate during the Restricted Period). Promptly after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect to such a beneficial interest, the Trustee will cause such beneficial interest to be exchanged for an equivalent beneficial
interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent
Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest. 
 (c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), if after the Restricted
Period any Initial Purchaser owns a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note, such Initial Purchaser may, upon written request to the Trustee accompanied by a certification as to its status as an Initial Purchaser, exchange such
beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, and the Trustee will comply with such request and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Note by the
amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note shall not be entitled to receive payment of principal or interest on
such beneficial interest or other amounts in respect of such beneficial interest until such beneficial interest is exchanged for an interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note or transferred for an interest in another Global Note or a Certificated
Note. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION 
 Section 3.01. Optional Redemption. Except
as set forth below, the Issuer will not be entitled to redeem Notes at its option prior to August 15, 2016. 
 (a) At any
time and from time to time on or after August 15, 2016, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of Notes of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed
during the twelve-month period beginning on August 15 of each of the years indicated below:

	 2018 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 


  
 47 









 (b) At any time and from time to time prior to August 15, 2016, the Issuer may redeem
all or a part of the Notes, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of
Holders of Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

Section 3.02. Redemption with Proceeds of Public Equity Offering. At any time and from time to time prior to August 15,
2015, the Issuer may, at its option, on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes at a Redemption Price equal to 105.375% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if
any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of Notes of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more
Equity Offerings; provided that at least 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Original Notes and original principal amount of any Additional Notes that are Notes issued under this Indenture after the Issue Date remain
outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; provided further that each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering. 

Section 3.03. Method and Effect of Redemption. (a) If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes, it must notify the Trustee of
the Redemption Date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed by delivering an Officer’s Certificate at least 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee). If fewer than all of the Notes are
being redeemed, the Officer’s Certificate must also specify a record date not less than 15 days after the date the notice of redemption is given to the Trustee, and the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed (x) if the Notes are
listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, (y) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or (z) by lot or such
other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate (and in accordance with any applicable procedures of DTC). No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be
called for redemption. Notice of redemption must be sent by the Issuer or at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, to Holders whose Notes are to be redeemed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days
before the Redemption Date by first-class mail to the registered address of such Holders or otherwise given in accordance with the procedures of DTC, except that redemption notices may be mailed or given in accordance with the procedures of DTC more
than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 8. Any notice of any redemption may be given prior to the
redemption thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate transaction. 

  
 48 









 (b) The notice of redemption will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will include or
state the following: 
 (1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the Redemption Price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued interest; 

(3) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for redemption; 

(4) Notes called for redemption must be so surrendered in order to collect the Redemption Price; 

(5) subject to any conditions precedent, on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable on Notes
called for redemption, and interest on Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer defaults in paying the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, in which case such interest shall continue to
accrue until the Redemption Price, including any such additionally accrued interest, is paid); 
 (6) if such
redemption is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more conditions precedent, the nature of such conditions precedent; 
 (7) if any Note is redeemed in part, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion will be issued except that no Notes of
$2,000 or less can be redeemed in part; and 
 (8) if any Note contains a CUSIP or CINS number, no representation
is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or CINS number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. 

(c) Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, subject to Section 3.03(a), Notes called for redemption become due and payable
at the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of the Notes called for redemption, the Issuer shall redeem such Notes at the Redemption Price. Commencing on the Redemption Date, Notes redeemed will cease to accrue interest. Upon
surrender of any Note redeemed in part, the Holder will receive a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note. 
 ARTICLE 4 
 COVENANTS 

Section 4.01. Payment of Notes. (a) The Issuer agrees to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and
in the manner provided in the Notes and this Indenture. 

  
 49 









 
Not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the due date of any principal of or interest on any Notes, or any redemption or purchase price of the Notes, the Issuer will deposit with the
Trustee (or Paying Agent) money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such amounts, provided that if the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer is acting as Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date, segregate and hold in a
separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such amounts until paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture. In each case the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of its
compliance with this paragraph. 
 (b) An installment of principal or interest will be considered paid on the date due if the
Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer) holds on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment. If the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, an installment of
principal or interest will be considered paid on the due date only if paid to the Holders. 
 (c) The Issuer agrees to pay
interest on overdue principal, and, to the extent lawful, overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum specified in the Notes. 
 (d) Payments in respect of the Notes represented by the Global Notes are to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders of the Global Notes. With
respect to Certificated Notes, the Issuer will make all payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each Holder’s
registered address. 
 Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain in the United States
an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer
hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office of the Issuer. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time
the Issuer fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served to the Trustee. 

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be surrendered or presented for
any of such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 Section 4.03. Existence. The Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force and effect its existence and the existence of each of its Significant Subsidiaries in accordance with their respective organizational documents, and the material rights, licenses and franchises of the Issuer and each Significant Subsidiary,
provided that the Issuer is not required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the existence of any 

  
 50 









 
Significant Subsidiary, if the maintenance or preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Significant Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and
provided further that this Section does not prohibit any transaction otherwise permitted by Section 4.13 or Article 5. 
 Section 4.04. Payment of Taxes and other Claims. The Issuer will pay or discharge, and cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay or discharge before the same become delinquent
(i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or its income or profits or property, and (ii) all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that,
if unpaid, might by law become a Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon the property of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than any such tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established. 
 Section 4.05.
Maintenance of Properties and Insurance. (a) The Issuer will cause all material properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition
(subject to ordinary wear and tear), repair and working order as in the judgment of the Issuer may be necessary so that the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times;
provided that nothing in this Section prevents the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the
judgment of the Issuer, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 (b) The Issuer will provide or cause to be provided, for itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured
against by corporations similarly situated and owning like properties, including, but not limited to, public liability insurance, with reputable insurers, in such amounts, with such deductibles and by such methods as are customary for corporations
similarly situated in the industry in which the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are then conducting business. 

Section 4.06. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to: 
 (I) declare or pay any dividend or make any payment or distribution on account of the
Issuer’s, or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’, Equity Interests, including any dividend or distribution payable in connection with any merger or consolidation other than: 

(a) dividends or distributions by the Issuer payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the
Issuer; or 

  
 51 









 (b) dividends, distributions or payments by a Restricted Subsidiary so long
as, in the case of any dividend, distribution or other payment payable on or in respect of any class or series of Equity Interests issued by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary receives
at least its pro rata share of such dividend, distribution or payment in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series; 
 (II) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Issuer, including in connection with any merger or consolidation;

(a) Indebtedness permitted under clauses (7) and (8) of Section 4.07(b); or 

(b) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness purchased in
anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or acquisition; or 

(IV) make any Restricted Investment, 
 (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (I) through (IV) (other than any exception thereto) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless,
at the time of such Restricted Payment: 
 (1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence
thereof; 
 (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the Issuer could incur $1.00 of
additional Indebtedness under the provisions of Section 4.07(a); and 
 (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the
aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (1), (2) (with respect to the payment of dividends on Refunding
Capital Stock (as defined below) pursuant to clause (b) thereof only), (6)(b) and (11) of Section 4.06(b), but excluding all other Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.06(b)), is less than the sum of (without
duplication): 
 (a) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for the period (taken as one accounting
period) beginning October 1, 2011 to the end of the Issuer’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment, or, in the case such Consolidated Net Income for
such period is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit; plus 

  
 52 









 (b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the fair market value, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, of marketable securities or other property received by the Issuer since immediately after the Issue Date from the issue or sale of: 

(i) Equity Interests of the Issuer, including Treasury Capital Stock (as defined below), but excluding cash proceeds and
the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, of marketable securities or other property received from the sale of: 

(x) Equity Interests to employees, directors or consultants of the Issuer and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries after the
Issue Date to the extent such amounts have been applied to Restricted Payments made in accordance with Section 4.06(b)(4); and 
 (y) Designated Preferred Stock; or 
 (ii) debt securities of the
Issuer that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests of the Issuer; 
 provided, however,
that this clause (b) shall not include the proceeds from (W) Refunding Capital Stock (as defined below), (X) Equity Interests or convertible debt securities of the Issuer sold to a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,
(Y) Disqualified Stock or debt securities that have been converted into Disqualified Stock or (Z) Excluded Contributions; plus 
 (c) 100% of the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, of marketable securities or other property contributed to the
capital of the Issuer following the Issue Date (other than net cash proceeds to the extent such net cash proceeds (i) are contributed by a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) constitute Excluded Contributions); plus 

(d) 100% of the aggregate amount received in cash and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Issuer, of marketable securities or other property received by means of: 
 (i) the sale or
other disposition (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) of Restricted Investments made by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries and repurchases and redemptions of such Restricted Investments from the Issuer or its Restricted
Subsidiaries and repayments of loans or advances, and releases of guarantees, which constitute Restricted Investments by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case after the Issue Date; or 

  
 53 









 (ii) the sale (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the
stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than in each case to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary constituted a Permitted Investment) or a dividend from an Unrestricted
Subsidiary after the Issue Date; plus 
 (e) in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, the fair market value of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Issuer in good faith or if such fair market value exceeds $40.0
million, in writing by an Independent Financial Advisor, at the time of the redesignation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary other than to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary constituted a Permitted
Investment. 
 The amount expended in any Restricted Payment, if other than cash, will be deemed to be the fair market value of
the relevant non-cash assets, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer or an executive officer of the Issuer, whose determination will be conclusive and, if made by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, evidenced by a
Board Resolution.

payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) (a) the redemption, repurchase,
exchange, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition of any Equity Interests (“Treasury Capital Stock”) or Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other
than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of, Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than any Disqualified Stock) (“Refunding Capital Stock”) and (b) if immediately prior to the retirement of Treasury Capital Stock, the declaration and
payment of dividends thereon was permitted under clause (6) of this Section 4.06(b), the declaration and payment of dividends on the Refunding Capital Stock in an aggregate amount per year no greater than the aggregate amount of dividends
per annum that were declarable and payable on such Treasury Capital Stock immediately prior to such retirement; 

(3) the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or
a Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, new Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor, as the case may be, which is incurred in compliance with Section 4.07 so long as: 

(a) the principal amount (or accreted value) of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of (or accreted
value, if applicable), plus 

  
 54 









 
any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value, plus the amount of any reasonable premium (including reasonable
tender premiums), defeasance costs and any reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness;

Restricted Payments made under this clause (4) do not exceed in any calendar year $10.0 million (with unused amounts in any calendar year being carried over to succeeding calendar years subject to a maximum (without giving effect to the
following proviso) of $20.0 million in any calendar year); provided further that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed: 

(a) the cash proceeds from the sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to employees,
directors or consultants of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, to the extent the cash proceeds from the sale of such Equity Interests have not otherwise been applied to the payment of Restricted Payments by virtue of clause (3) of
Section 4.06(a); plus 
 (b) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the
Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date; less 
 (c) the amount of any Restricted

 and provided further that cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary from any directors, employees or consultants of the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of the Issuer will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted
Payment for purposes of this covenant or any other provision of this Indenture; 
 (5) the declaration and
payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any class or series of Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case issued in accordance with

provided, however, in the case of each of (a) and (b) of this clause (6), that for the most recently ended four
full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Designated Preferred Stock or the declaration of such dividends on Refunding Capital Stock that is Preferred Stock, after
giving effect to such issuance or declaration on a pro forma basis, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would have had a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.00;

Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 
 (c) The Issuer will not permit any
Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all
outstanding Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition
of “Investment.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time, whether pursuant to Section 4.06(a) or under clause (8) or (9) of Section 4.06(b), or
pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments,” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this
Indenture.

Stock and Preferred Stock.  
 (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create,
incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”) with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and
the Issuer will not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Issuer may incur Indebtedness (including
Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock, and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), issue shares of Disqualified Stock and issue shares of Preferred Stock, if the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio on a consolidated basis for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional
Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the
additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period; provided,
further, that Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors may not incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock if, after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or issuance (including a pro forma application
of the net proceeds therefrom), more than an aggregate of $50.0 million in principal amount and liquidation preference of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors would be outstanding
pursuant to this paragraph and clauses (12) and (14) of Section 4.07(b) (together with Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) at such time.

issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof), up to an aggregate principal amount
of $1,100 million outstanding at any one time, less the aggregate of mandatory principal payments actually made by the borrower thereunder in respect of Indebtedness thereunder with Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale; 

(2) the incurrence by the Issuer and any Guarantor of Indebtedness represented by the Notes (including any Guarantee)
(other than any Additional Notes);

 (7) Indebtedness of the Issuer to a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any such Indebtedness owing to
a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes (it being understood that such subordination need not include payment blockage rights prior to an insolvency or bankruptcy); provided,

a Guarantor, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee of the Notes of such Guarantor (it being understood 

  
 59

each case to be an issuance of such shares of Preferred Stock not permitted by this clause; 
 (10) Hedging
Obligations (excluding Hedging Obligations entered into for speculative purposes) for the purpose of limiting interest rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to this Section 4.07, exchange rate risk or

and fees in connection therewith (the “Refinancing Indebtedness”) prior to its respective maturity; provided, however, that such Refinancing Indebtedness:

the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refunded, refinanced, replaced, renewed, extended or defeased, 

(b) to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (i) Indebtedness subordinated or pari passu to the Notes

deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (18) but shall be deemed incurred for the purposes of Section 4.07(a) from and after the first date on which the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred such
Indebtedness under Section 4.07(a) without reliance on this clause (18)); 

  
 62 









 (19) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of a Restricted
Subsidiary incurred to finance or assumed in connection with an acquisition in a principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding together with all other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and/or Preferred
Stock issued under this clause (19) (it being understood that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred pursuant to this clause (19) shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause
(19) but shall be deemed incurred for the purposes of Section 4.07(a) from and after the first date on which such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock under Section 4.07(a)
without reliance on this clause (19)); 
 (20) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries

million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.07:

 (1) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof)
meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (1) through (22) of Section 4.07(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
Section 4.07(a), the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the above clauses; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facilities on the Issue Date will be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under
Section 4.07(b)(1) and may not be reclassified; and 
 (2) at the time of incurrence, the Issuer will be
entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.07(a) and Section 4.07(b). 

  
 63 









 (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 will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred
Stock for purposes of this Section 4.07. 
 (e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was
incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause
the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so
long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. 
 (f) The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency
exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 (g) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any
Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is
subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be. Unsecured Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured, and Senior Indebtedness shall not
be treated as subordinated or junior to any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral. 
 (h) For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors pursuant to the second proviso to
Section 4.07(a) and clauses (12) and (14) of Section 4.07(b), shall not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding. 
 Section 4.08. Liens. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any
Indebtedness or any related Guarantee, on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless: 

(1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on
such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or 

  
 64 









 (2) in all other cases, the Notes or the Guarantees are equally and ratably
secured, except that the foregoing shall not apply to Liens securing the Notes and the related Guarantees. 
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any Lien securing the Notes granted pursuant to this covenant shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (1) the release by the holders of the Indebtedness described above of their Lien on the
property or assets of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Indebtedness, except payment in full made with the proceeds from the foreclosure, sale or other
realization from an enforcement on the collateral by the holders of the Indebtedness described above of their Lien), (2) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer to any Person other than the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
property or assets secured by such Lien so long as such disposition is permitted by the terms of this Indenture, (3) payment in full of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes, or (4) a defeasance or
discharge of the Notes in accordance with Article 8. 
 Section 4.09. Transactions With Affiliates.  

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any
Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, unless: 

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or its relevant Restricted
Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and 

(2) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee (x) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $30.0 million, a Board Resolution adopted by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s
Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above and (y) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of
$100.0 million, in addition to such resolution and Officer’s Certificate, a favorable written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor as to the fairness of the transaction to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point
of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an
unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis. 

  
 65 









 (b) The provisions in Section 4.09(a) will not apply to the following: 

(1) transactions between or among the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or its relevant
Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; 

(5) any agreement or arrangement as in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such
amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Issue Date); 
 (6) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement or the equivalent (including any registration

Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (6) to the extent that
the terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto are not otherwise disadvantageous to the Holders when taken as a whole; 
 (7) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this
Indenture which are fair to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been
obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 

  
 66 









 (8) the issuance or transfer of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
Stock) of the Issuer to any Investor or to any director, officer, employee or consultant (or their respective estates, investment funds, investment vehicles, spouses or former spouses) of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries;

such class of securities; 
 (13) transactions with joint ventures for the purchase or sale of goods or equipment
or the provision of services entered into in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are fair to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of
Directors of the Issuer or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 

(14) payments, grants or awards pursuant to, any employee, officer or director compensation plan, employment agreement,

 69 









 
non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities), other than a Guarantor or a Foreign Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of

 (b) if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such
Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the
Notes; and 
 (2) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee; 

provided that this Section 4.11 shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person
became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary. 
 Section 4.12. Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control.  
 (a) If
a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 3.03, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to
the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but
excluding the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer
shall send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Register with a copy to the Trustee or otherwise in accordance with the
procedures of DTC, with the following information: 
 (i) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant
to this Section 4.12 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuer; 

  
 70 









 (ii) the purchase price, including any portion thereof representing accrued
interest, and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or given in accordance with the procedures of DTC (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 

(iii) that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 

(iv) that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(v) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender
such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in
the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (vi) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes, provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the
close of business on the 30th day following the date of the Change of Control notice, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a
statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; 

(vii) if the Notes are certificated and the Issuer is redeeming less than all of the Notes, that the Holders of the
remaining Notes will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and 
 (viii) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer,
consistent with this Section 4.12, that a Holder must follow. 
 (b) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule
14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. 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 shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 4.12 by virtue thereof. 

  
 71 









 (c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by law,

 (i) accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer, 
 (ii) no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, deposit with the Paying Agent an amount
equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered, and 

(iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an
Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer. 
 (d) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in
compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.12 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control
Offer. 
 Section 4.13. Asset Sales. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to consummate an Asset Sale, unless: 
 (1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case
may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Issuer as of the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale); and 

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of: 
 (a) any liabilities (as reflected on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such
balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as
determined in good faith by the Issuer) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Issuer and all of
its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing, 

  
 72 









 (b) any securities received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from
such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and 

(c) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having
an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 10.0% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such
Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, 

shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose. 

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may
apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, 
 (1) to permanently reduce: 

(a) Obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

 (b) Obligations under Senior Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien, which Lien is permitted by this
Indenture, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 
 (c) Obligations under other Senior
Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that, to the extent the Issuer reduces Obligations under such Senior Indebtedness, the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes
as provided under Section 3.01, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.13 for
an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid; or 

(d) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another
Restricted Subsidiary; 

  
 73 









 (2) to make (a) an Investment in any one or more businesses,
provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business
such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) capital expenditures or (c) acquisitions of other assets, in each of (a), (b) and (c), engaged in or used or useful in, as applicable, a Similar Business; 

(3) to make an investment in (a) any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is
in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary,
(b) properties or (c) acquisitions of other assets that, in each of (a), (b) and (c), replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; or 

(4) any combination of clauses (1), (2) and (3) above; 

provided that, in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application
of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of
such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination; provided further that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason
before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds. 
 (c) Any Net Proceeds from the
Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess
Proceeds exceeds $100.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari
Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date fixed for the closing of such offer,
in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture with respect to an Asset Sale Offer. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed
$100.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. 

  
 74 









 (d) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness
tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of
Notes and the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall repurchase the Notes and the Pari Passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or
principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered (and the Trustee shall select the Notes to be repurchased in accordance with the procedures set forth under Section 4.13(g)(iii)(H)). Upon completion of any such Asset Sale
Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (e) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant
to this Section 4.13, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this
Indenture. The provisions of this Indenture relating to the Issuer’s obligations to make an Asset Sale Offer may be waived or amended as described in Article 9. 
 (f) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in
connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 
 (g) In the event that, pursuant to this Section 4.13, the Issuer shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it shall follow the following procedures: 

(i) The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the
extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer shall apply all Excess
Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and, if required, Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable), or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness
tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 
 (ii) If the Purchase Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the Purchase Date shall be paid to
the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 

  
 75 









 (iii) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer shall send,
by first-class mail or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant
to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state: 

(A) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.13 and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer
shall remain open; 
 (B) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 

(C) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest; 

(D) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 
 (E) that Holders electing to have a Note
purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only; 
 (F) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached
to the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, the Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 

(G) 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, 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; 
 (H) that, if the aggregate principal amount of
Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by the holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, then (I) the Issuer shall repurchase the Notes and the Pari Passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal
amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered, (II) the Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased and (III) the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased
(x) if the Notes are listed 

  
 76 









 
on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, (y) on a pro rata basis to the
extent practicable or (z) by lot or such other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate (and in accordance with any applicable procedures of DTC) (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in
denominations of $2,000 principal amount, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and 
 (I) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer)
representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased. 
 (iv) On or before the Purchase Date, the
Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount
has been tendered, all Notes tendered and (2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof so
tendered. 
 (v) The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly mail or
deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes properly tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, shall authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) such new Note to such Holder (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel or
Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note) in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not
repurchased; provided that each such new Note shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder
thereof. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date. 
 Section 4.14. Financial Reports. 
 (a) Notwithstanding that the Issuer
may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated
by the SEC, the Issuer shall file with the SEC (and make available to the Trustee and Holders of the Notes (without exhibits), without cost to any Holder, within 15 days after the Issuer files them with the SEC) from and after the Issue Date,

 (i) within 90 days (or any other time period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange
Act with respect to the filing of a Form 10-K by a non-accelerated filer) after the end of each fiscal year, annual reports on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form, containing the information required to be contained therein, or required
in such successor or comparable form; 

  
 77 









 (ii) within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters
of each fiscal year, reports on Form 10-Q containing all quarterly information that would be required to be contained in Form 10-Q, or any successor or comparable form; and 

(iii) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event required to be therein reported, such other reports on
Form 8-K, or any successor or comparable form; 
 in each case, in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements
specified in such form; provided that the Issuer shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Issuer shall make available such information to prospective purchasers of
Notes, which obligations may be satisfied by posting such reports on the website of the Issuer, in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, in each case within 15 days after the time the Issuer would be
required to file such information with the SEC, if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In no event shall such reports be required to contain separate financial statements for Guarantors that would be required under
Section 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC or, in the event any Liens are granted to secure the Notes, any financial statements required by Rule 3-16 thereunder. 

(b) The Issuer shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 4.14, and shall be deemed to have provided such documents to the
Holders, to the extent the Issuer has filed or furnished documents and reports referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.14(a) with the SEC via the EDGAR system or any successor electronic delivery procedures within the
time period specified above. 
 (c) In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, the Issuer shall, for so long as
any Notes are outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144, furnish to Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 (d) Delivery of these reports and information to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of them will 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 Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 4.15.
Reports to Trustee. (a) The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year a certificate from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Issuer stating that the officer has
conducted or supervised a review of 

  
 78 









 
the activities of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and their performance under this Indenture and that, based upon such review, the Issuer has fulfilled its obligations hereunder or, if
there has been a Default, specifying the Default and its nature and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within 5 Business Days after the Issuer becomes aware or should reasonably become aware of the occurrence of a Default, an
Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of the Default, and the action which the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (c) The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing when any Notes are listed on any national securities exchange and of any delisting. 

Section 4.16. Suspension of Certain Covenants. 
 (a) If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from one or both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture
(the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the
following covenants (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”): Section 4.06, Section 4.07, Section 4.09, Section 4.10, Section 4.12, Section 4.13 and clause (iv) of Section 5.01(a).

 (b) 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 (such period of time between the Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date, the “Suspension Period”) as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion
Date”) (i) 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 such that the Notes do not have an Investment Grade Rating from either
Rating Agency and/or (ii) the Issuer or any of its Affiliates enter 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 such that the Notes do
not have an Investment Grade Rating from either Rating Agency, then the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events, including, without
limitation, a proposed transaction described in clause (ii). 
 (c) Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the
amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be reset at zero. In the event of any such Reversion Date, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement, nor the performance
of obligations incurred during the Suspension Period (which were permitted to be incurred at such time), will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that (i) with respect to
Restricted 

  
 79 









 
Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though Section 4.06 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension
Period, provided that any Subsidiaries designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period shall automatically become Restricted Subsidiaries on the Reversion Date (subject to the Issuer’s right to subsequently designate
them as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in compliance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” and Section 4.06) and (ii) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period
will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.07(b)(3). 
 (d) The Issuer shall deliver promptly
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying it of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date under this Section 4.16. The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the treatment of the Issuer’s debt rating by the Rating
Agencies or otherwise to verify the factual basis for the Issuer’s determination of the occurrence or timing of a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER
OR SALE OF ASSETS 
 Section 5.01. Merger, Consolidation or
Sale of All or Substantially All Assets. (a) The Issuer will not consolidate or merger with or into (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless: 
 (i) the Issuer is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance
or other disposition will have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Issuer or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof
(such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”); 
 (ii) the
Successor Company, if other than the Issuer, expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 

(iii) immediately after such transaction, no Default exists; 

(iv) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions, as if
such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, 
 (1) the Successor
Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.07(a), or 

  
 80 









 (2) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company, the Issuer
and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than or equal to such ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; 

(v) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, in which case clause (i)(b) of
Section 5.01(c) shall apply, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; and 

(vi) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with this Indenture. 
 (b) The
Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for the Issuer, as the case may be, under this Indenture, the Guarantees and the Notes, as applicable. Upon such substitution, except in the case of a sale, conveyance, transfer or disposition of
less than all of its assets, the Issuer will be released from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (iii) and (iv), 

(i) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to
the Issuer, and 
 (ii) the Issuer may merge with an Affiliate of the Issuer, as the case may be, solely for the
purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in any state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. 

(c) Subject to the provisions in Section 10.09 governing the release of a Guarantee upon the sale, disposition or transfer of a
Guarantor, no Guarantor will, and the Issuer will not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Issuer or Guarantor is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless: 
 (i) (a) such Guarantor is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease,
conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability corporation or trust organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor, as the case
may be, or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Person”); 

  
 81 









 (b) the Successor Person, if other than such Guarantor or the Issuer,
expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Indenture and such Guarantor’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 

(c) immediately after such transaction, no Default exists; and 

(d) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with the Indenture; or 
 (ii) the transaction is a disposition to a Person that is not the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary and is made in compliance with Section 4.13 or does not constitute an Asset Sale and is otherwise
permitted under this Indenture. 
 (d) Subject to the provisions in Section 10.09, the Successor Person will succeed to,
and be substituted for, such Guarantor under the Indenture and such Guarantor’s Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without the need to comply therewith, any Guarantor may (i) merge into or transfer all or part of its properties
and assets to another Guarantor or the Issuer, (ii) merge with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Guarantor in the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory
thereof so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby, or (iii) convert into a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability corporation or trust organized or
existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of such Guarantor. 
 ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if 
 (1) default in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes; 

(2) default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on or with respect to the Notes; 

(3) failure by the Issuer or any Guarantor for 60 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the Holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes to comply with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements (other than a default referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above) contained in this Indenture or the Notes; 

  
 82 









 (4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by
which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Indebtedness owed to
the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if both: 
 (a) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation
other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and 

(b) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in
default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate more than $50.0 million at any one time outstanding; 

(5) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered
by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed; 
 (6) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to
or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or
insolvent; 
 (ii) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing
by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under applicable Bankruptcy Law; 

(iii) consents to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of
it or for all or substantially all of its property; 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors; or 
 (v) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; 

(7) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(i) is for relief against the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group
of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in a proceeding in which the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiaries, that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken
together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; 

  
 83 









 (ii) appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or
other similar official of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of
the property of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or 

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any
group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; 
 and the order or decree
remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 
 (8) the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary shall for any
reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), as the case may
be, denies that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture. 

Section 6.02. Acceleration. 
 (a) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable
immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good
faith determines in its best judgment acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders of the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 with respect
to the Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. 
 (b) The Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or
decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived. 

  
 84 









 (c) In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01,
such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the
Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose: 
 (i) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the
basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or 
 (ii) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the
acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or 
 (iii) the default
that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Issuer so elects, the
sole remedy of the Holders for (x) a failure to comply with any obligations that the Issuer may have or may be deemed to have pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act or (y) the Issuer’s failure to comply with the
covenant described in Section 4.14 will consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes at a rate per annum equal to: (i) 0.25% for the first 90 days after the occurrence of such failure (which 90th day will be
the 150th day after written notice of such failure to comply is provided as set forth above) and (ii) 0.50% from the 91st day to, but not including, the 180th day (or, in the case of a failure to file any such report in connection with a
significant acquisition, 365th day) after the occurrence of such failure (“Additional Interest”). Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which such failure first occurs until such
violation is cured or waived and shall be payable on each relevant Interest Payment Date to holders of record on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. On the 180th day (or 365th day as applicable) after such
failure (if such violation is not cured or waived prior to such 180th day (or 365th day as applicable)), such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and failure will then constitute an Event of Default without any further notice or lapse of time
and the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided above. In no event will such Additional Interest accrue at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum pursuant to the Indenture, regardless of the number of events or circumstances that give
rise to the obligation to pay Additional Interest. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “interest” contained herein and in the Notes shall be deemed to include Additional Interest. 

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, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does
not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence
in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

  
 85 









 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note held by a non-consenting Holder (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer); provided, subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, that the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then 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 shall cease to exist, and
any 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 impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this
Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction, and may take any other action it deems proper that
is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such
action. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note 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 total outstanding Notes have
requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) Holders of the Notes have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee
indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee 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) Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 
 A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 

  
 86 









 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale
Offer or a Change of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) 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, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be 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. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as
though no such proceeding has been instituted. 
 Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any
other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 6.12. 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 

  
 87 









 
including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and 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 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07 hereof out of the 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. 
 Section 6.13. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it
shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 (a) to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under
Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 (b) 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 
 (c) to the Issuer or to such party as a court of
competent jurisdiction shall direct, including a Guarantor, if applicable. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment
to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.13. 
 Section 6.14. 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, 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 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.


  
 88 









 Section 6.15. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Issuer and each
Guarantor covenants, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that
would prohibit or forgive the Issuer or the Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or
the performance of this Indenture. The Issuer and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE 7 
 THE TRUSTEE 

Section 7.01. General. (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee are as provided by the Trust Indenture Act and
as set forth herein. Whether or not expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to this Article. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in
this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise those rights and powers vested in it
by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct. 
 Section 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to Trust
Indenture Act Sections 315(a) through (d): 
 (1) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may rely,
and will be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but, in the case of any document which is specifically required to be
furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision 

  
 89 









 
hereof, the Trustee shall examine the document to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical
calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both, each conforming to Section 11.05, and the Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the certificate or opinion.

 (3) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent the Trustee appoints with due care; provided that the Trustee shall have no liability for any Paying Agent other than itself. 
 (4) The Trustee will 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, unless such Holders have offered to
the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

(5) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.05 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. 
 (6) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will 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. 
 (7) No provision of this Indenture will
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense. 
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to
Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and 311. For purposes of Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b)(4) and (6): 
 (a)
“cash transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and
payable upon demand; and 

  
 90 









 (b) “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or
obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession
of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with
the creation of the creditor relationship arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. 
 Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes, (ii) is not
accountable for the Issuer’s use or application of the proceeds from the Notes and (iii) is not responsible for any statement in the Notes other than its certificate of authentication. 

Section 7.05. Notice of Default. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default, other
than a payment default for which it is the Paying Agent, unless the Trustee receives written notice in accordance with Section 11.03 that such Default or Event of Default has occurred. If any Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing
and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will send notice of the Default or Event of Default to each Holder within 90 days after it occurs, unless the Default or Event of Default has been cured; provided that, except in the case of a default
in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors of the Trustee in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. Notice to Holders under this Section will be given in the manner and to the extent provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c). 

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with May 15, 2013, the
Trustee will mail to each Holder, as provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such May 15, if required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a), and file such reports with each stock exchange upon which
the Notes are listed and with the SEC as required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). 
 Section 7.07.
Compensation and Indemnity. (a) The Issuer will pay the Trustee compensation as agreed upon in writing for its services. The compensation of the Trustee is not limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Issuer
will reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

(b) The Issuer will indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any loss or liability or expense incurred by it without
negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in 

  
 91 









 
connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the Notes, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture and the Notes. 

(c) To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or
property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, and interest on particular Notes. 
 Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. (a) (1) The Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to the Issuer. 

(2) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by written notice to the
Trustee. 
 (3) If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10 or in the circumstances described in
Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b), any Holder that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee. 
 (4) The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: (i) the Trustee is no longer eligible under
Section 7.10; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section. 
 (b) If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Issuer. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (c) Upon delivery by the
successor Trustee of a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer, (i) the retiring Trustee will transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in
Section 7.07, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and (iii) the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. Upon


  
 92 









 
request of any successor Trustee, the Issuer will execute any and all instruments for fully and vesting in and confirming to the successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. The Issuer
will give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders, and include in the notice the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

(d) Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 will
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 (e) The Trustee agrees to give the notices provided for in, and otherwise
comply with, Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). 
 Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking
association without any further act will be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee in this Indenture. 
 Section 7.10. Eligibility. The Indenture must always have a Trustee that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and has a combined capital and surplus of at
least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 Section 7.11. Money Held In
Trust. The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as it may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and
except for money held in trust under Article 8. 
 ARTICLE 8 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE, COVENANT DEFEASANCE AND
DISCHARGE 
 Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may,
at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes 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 the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes
and Guarantees and cured all then existing Events of Default on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“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, 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 its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture including that of the Guarantors (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 Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04; 
 (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or
agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 
 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of
the Trustee, and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (d) this Section 8.02. 

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, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained
in Sections 4.03 through 4.16 and clauses (iv) and (v) of Section 5.01(a) and Section 5.01(c) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied
(“Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer 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 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, Sections 6.01(3), 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are
Significant Subsidiaries), 6.01(7) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries) and 6.01(8) 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: 

(a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars,
Government Securities, 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 of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on the


  
 94 









 
stated maturity date or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased
to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date; 
 (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, 
 (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 

(ii) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and
exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of
Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain
or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such 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 (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar
and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior
Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be
applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 
 (f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the
trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code; 

  
 95 









 (g) 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 defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and 
 (h) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating
that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with. 
 Section 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06, all money and Government Securities (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with 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 or a Guarantor 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 and
interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer shall pay
and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any
such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 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 Government Securities 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. Repayment
to Issuer. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium and or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and
premium 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 of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or Government Securities 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, then the Issuer’s obligations 

  
 96 









 
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 money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 Section 8.08. Discharge. 
 (a) This Indenture shall be discharged and
shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes, and the Guarantees shall be terminated, when either: 
 (i)
all 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, have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation; or 
 (ii) (A) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due
and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, shall 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 the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes,
cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 
 (B) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of
Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or
constitute a default under, the Senior Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that
resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 

(C) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 

  
 97 









 (D) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to
apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 
 In
addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 

After satisfying the conditions in clause (i) above, only the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall survive. After
satisfying the conditions in clause (ii) above, only the Issuer’s obligations in Article 2 and Sections 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08, 8.06 and 8.07 shall survive. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.08(a) above hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and
premium) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.08(a) above hereof
by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.08(a); provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Notes because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes. Notwithstanding Section 9.02, the Issuer, any Guarantor (with respect
to a Guarantee of this Indenture) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and any Guarantee or Notes without the consent of any Holder: 
 (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; 
 (b) to
provide for uncertificated Notes of such series in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 
 (c) to comply with
Section 5.01; 

  
 98 









 (d) to provide the assumption of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to
the Holders; 
 (e) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 
 (f) to add covenants for the benefit of the
Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor; 
 (g) to comply with requirements of the
SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (h) to evidence and
provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee thereunder pursuant to the requirements thereof; 
 (i) to add a Guarantor under this Indenture or to evidence the release, termination or discharge of any Guarantee when such release, termination or discharge is permitted by this Indenture; 

(j) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section
of the offering memorandum of the Issuer, dated August 9, 2012, related to the offering of the Notes and related Guarantees; 
 (k) to provide for or confirm the issuance of Additional Notes; and 
 (l) to make
any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided,
however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely
affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing
the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 11.04, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental
indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental
indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture upon execution
and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, and delivery of an Officer’s Certificate. 

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and 

  
 99 









 
the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class (including,
without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, 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 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 (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.05 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a Board Resolution 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 11.04, 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 this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment,
supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail 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. 

Without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, 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 amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or
waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to Section 4.12 and Section 4.13 to the extent that any such amendment or waiver does not have the effect of reducing the principal of or
changing the fixed final maturity of any such Note); 
 (c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any
Note; 

  
 100









 (d) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the
Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or
provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders; 

(e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated therein; 

(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments
of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; 
 (g) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions;

 (h) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or interest on, such Holder’s Notes on or after
the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; 

(i) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders; or 

(j) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary in any manner adverse to the
Holders of the Notes. 
 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 of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note 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 of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms
and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and
only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or
effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained. 

  
 101









 Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an
appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect
the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant
to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the Board of Directors approves it. In
executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 11.04 hereof, 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 amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Issuer and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture. 
 Section 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee
or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to all Holders and is paid to all Holders that so consent,
waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01. Guarantees. Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, the
full and punctual payment (whether at maturity, upon redemption, purchase pursuant to Section 4.12 or Section 4.13 or acceleration, or otherwise) of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable under,
each Note, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Issuer under this Indenture. Upon failure by the Issuer to pay punctually any such amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the
place and in the manner specified in this Indenture. 

  
 102









 Section 10.02. Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: 
 (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Issuer under this Indenture or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise; 

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Indenture or any Note; 

(c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Issuer, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other
similar proceeding affecting the Issuer or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Issuer contained in this Indenture or any Note; 
 (d) the existence of any claim, set off or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with this Indenture or any
unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; 
 (e) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Issuer for any reason of this Indenture or any Note, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment
by the Issuer of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Issuer under this Indenture; or 

(f) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance
whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 10.02, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 

Section 10.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect
until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under this Indenture (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Issuer under this Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, each
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
 Section 10.04. Waiver by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement
that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Issuer or any other Person. 
 Section 10.05. Subrogation
and Contribution. Upon making any payment with respect to any obligation of the Issuer under this Article 10, the Guarantor making such payment will be 

  
 103









 
subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Issuer with respect to such obligation, provided that the Guarantor may not enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to
receive payment in the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Guarantor, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Issuer hereunder or under the Notes remains unpaid. 

Section 10.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Issuer under this
Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on
demand by the Trustee or the Holders. 
 Section 10.07. Limitation on Amount of Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Article, 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 not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable
fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor
under its Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of
state law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other
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. 

Section 10.08. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. The execution by each Guarantor of the Indenture (or a supplemental
indenture in the form of Exhibit B) evidences the Guarantee of such Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the
Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in the Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor. 

Section 10.09. Release of Guarantees. A Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Issuer or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon: 
 (1) (A) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a
Restricted Subsidiary or all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor which sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 

  
 104









 (B) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of the
Senior Credit Facilities or the guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee; 

(C) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the
applicable provisions of this Indenture; or 
 (D) the Issuer exercising its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant
Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and 

(2) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the release of such Guarantee have been complied with.

executing it, may be proved in any manner that the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 (2) The Trustee may make
reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders, which will be binding on all the Holders. 
 (c) Any act by the
Holder of any Note binds that Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the acting Holder, even if no notation thereof appears on the Note. Subject to paragraph (d), a Holder may revoke an act as to its

on any date fixed for redemption or purchase of any Note) is due on a day which is not a Business Day, then the payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such date,
