determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Fixed Charges for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a

purposes in the ordinary course of business outstanding on the date of such calculation will be deemed to be (i) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four fiscal quarters or such shorter period for which such facility was
outstanding or (ii) if such facility was created after the end of such four fiscal quarters, the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of such facility to the date of such calculation) and the

(b) has repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of the period that is
no longer outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio involves a discharge of Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving
credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and the related commitment terminated), Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Fixed Charges for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to
such discharge of such Indebtedness, including with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness, as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period; 

  
 -6-









 (2) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary will have made any asset sale or other disposition or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is such an asset sale or other disposition: 

(a) the Consolidated EBITDA for such period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive)
directly attributable to the assets which are the subject of such asset sale or other disposition for such period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for such period; and 

(b) Consolidated Fixed Charges for such period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Fixed Charges
directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with respect to the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such asset sale or
other disposition for such period (or, if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Fixed Charges for such period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and
its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale); 
 (3) if
since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger, consolidation, acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise) will have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person which becomes a Restricted

substantially all of a company, division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets or line of business, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Fixed Charges for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect
thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition occurred on the first day of such period; and 
 (4) if since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such
period) will have Incurred any Indebtedness or discharged any Indebtedness or made any asset sale or other disposition or any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above if
made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Fixed Charges for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction occurred on the first day of
such period. 
 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any calculation under this
definition, the pro forma calculations (including pro forma expense and cost reductions calculated on a basis consistent with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act) will be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or
accounting officer of the Company; provided that such pro forma calculations may include operating expense reductions for such period resulting from the transaction which is being given pro forma effect that have been realized
or for which the steps necessary for realization have been taken or are reasonably expected to be taken within one year following any such transaction (which operating expense reductions are reasonably expected to be sustainable). If any
Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire


  
 -7-









 
period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness that is
being given pro forma effect bears an interest rate at the option of the Company, the interest rate shall be calculated by applying such optional rate chosen by the Company.

portion of rent expense associated with Attributable Indebtedness in respect of the relevant lease giving rise thereto, determined as if such lease were a capitalized lease in accordance with GAAP and the interest component of any deferred payment

 (4) commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with respect to letters of credit and bankers’ acceptance financing; 

(5) interest expense on Indebtedness of another Person that is Guaranteed by such Person or one of its Restricted

 (6) cash
costs associated with Hedging Obligations (including amortization of fees but excluding mark-to-market charges or adjustments); provided, however, that if Hedging Obligations result in net benefits rather than costs, such benefits
shall be credited to reduce Consolidated Debt Expense unless, pursuant to GAAP, such net benefits are otherwise reflected in Consolidated Net Income; 
 (7) the consolidated interest expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries that was capitalized during such period; and 

(8) the cash contributions to any employee stock ownership plan or similar trust or stock option plan to the extent such
contributions are used by such plan or trust to pay interest or fees to any Person (other than the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) in connection with Indebtedness incurred by such plan or trust. 

For the purpose of calculating the Consolidated Coverage Ratio in connection with the Incurrence of any Indebtedness described in the
final paragraph of the definition of “Indebtedness,” the calculation of Consolidated Debt Expense shall include all interest expense (including any amounts described in clauses (1) through (8) above) relating to any Indebtedness

the Company and (iii) exclusive of the write-off of deferred financing costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, commissions, discounts, yield and other fees and

Consolidated Debt Expense.

(4) consolidated depreciation or amortization expense; 

(5) expenses and charges relating to non-controlling interests and equity income in consolidated Subsidiaries; and

 (6) other non-cash charges reducing Consolidated Net Income (excluding any such non-cash charge to the extent

be added to Consolidated Net Income to compute Consolidated EBITDA of such Person only to the extent (and in the same proportion) that the net income (loss) of such Restricted Subsidiary was included in calculating the Consolidated Net Income of
such Person and, to the extent the amounts set forth in clauses (2) through (6) are in excess of those necessary to offset a net loss of such Restricted Subsidiary or if such Restricted Subsidiary has net income for such period included in
Consolidated Net Income, only if a corresponding amount would be permitted at the date of determination to be dividended to the Company by such Restricted Subsidiary without prior approval (that has not been obtained), pursuant to the terms of its

the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary as a dividend (subject, in the case of a dividend to another Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitation contained in this clause); and 

(b) for the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s equity in a net loss of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such period
will be included in determining such Consolidated Net Income; 
 (3) any gain (loss) realized upon the sale or
other disposition of any property, plant or equipment of the Company or its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries (including pursuant to any Sale/Leaseback Transaction) which is not sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business and

longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note or Note Guarantee, as the case may be, shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been
authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall authenticate Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in the
aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000,000 upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. In addition, the Trustee shall authenticate Notes (“Additional Notes”) thereafter in unlimited


  
 -35-









 
amount (so long as not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.10) for original issue upon a written order of the Company in the form of
an Officers’ Certificate. Each such Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in
the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as
an Agent to deal with the Company and Affiliates of the Company. 
 The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. 
 SECTION 2.03.    Registrar and Paying Agent.

 The Company shall maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where (a) Notes may be
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), (b) Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time
to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
for such purposes. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act as its own Registrar or Paying Agent provided compliance with the proviso of the previous
sentence. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company, upon notice to the Trustee, may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent until such time as the Trustee has resigned or a successor has been appointed. 

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall
implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee, in advance, of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as
such. 
 SECTION 2.04.    Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust. 

The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and shall notify the
Trustee of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the
Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets distributed. Upon distribution
to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Company to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets. 

  
 -36-









 SECTION 2.05.    Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least two (2) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such
form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.06.    Transfer and Exchange. 
 Subject to
Section 2.15, when Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar or
co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be imposed upon the Company, the Trustee or any Agent for any registration of transfer or exchange, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice
of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article Three, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, and
(iii) during a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Disposition Offer if such Note is validly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer or Asset Disposition Offer and not validly withdrawn. 

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial
interests in such Global Notes may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry
system. 
 SECTION 2.07.    Replacement Notes. 

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully
taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. Such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both the Company and the
Trustee, to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Note pursuant to this
Section 2.07, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and of the Trustee. 
 Every replacement Note is an
additional obligation of the Company and every replacement Note Guarantee shall constitute an additional obligation of the Guarantor thereof. 

  
 -37-









 SECTION 2.08.    Outstanding Notes. 

Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it, those delivered
to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates holds the Note (subject to the provisions of
Section 2.09). 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for
replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such
Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07. If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue. If on a Redemption Date, the Maturity Date, a
Change of Control Payment Date, an Asset Sale Payment Date or any other date payment on the Notes is due the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate thereof) holds U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient
to pay all of the principal and interest due on the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 SECTION 2.09.    Treasury Notes. 
 In determining
whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in conclusively relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded. 

SECTION 2.10.    Temporary Notes. 
 Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may
have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary
Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Notes may be in typewritten form. 
 SECTION 2.11.    Cancellation. 
 The Company at any time
may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the
Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary), and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the Company, shall dispose of all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its
customary procedures. Subject to Section 2.07, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company or any Guarantor shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition
shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11. 

  
 -38-









 SECTION 2.12.     Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall, unless the Trustee fixes another record date pursuant to
Section 6.10, pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest pursuant to this Indenture, in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on
a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest. At least 15 days before any such subsequent special record date, the Company shall mail to
each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. 

SECTION 2.13.    CUSIP Number. 
 The Company in issuing the Notes may use a “CUSIP” number, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption, repurchase or exchange as a convenience to Holders;
provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 

SECTION 2.14.    Deposit of Moneys. 
 Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Company shall have deposited
with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Asset Disposition Purchase Date, as the case
may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date or Asset Disposition Purchase Date, as the case may be.

 SECTION 2.15.    Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. 

(a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be
delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Exhibit B. 

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect
to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of
the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder or beneficial owner of any Note. 

(b) Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their
respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be exchanged for Physical Notes only as follows: Physical Notes shall be transferred to all 

  
 -39-









 
beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Notes if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for any
Global Note and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company, with a copy to the Trustee, within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a written request from
the Depository to issue Physical Notes. 
 (c) In connection with the transfer of a Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section 2.15, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and (i) the Company shall execute, (ii) the Guarantors shall execute notations of Note Guarantees on and
(iii) the Trustee shall upon written instructions from the Company authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount
of Physical Notes of authorized denominations. 
 (d) The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize
any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold interests through Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 

ARTICLE THREE 

REDEMPTION 
 SECTION
3.01.    Notices to Trustee. 
 If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 5 or
Section 6 of the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. The Company shall give notice of redemption to the Paying Agent and Trustee at least
45 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee in writing), together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained
herein. 
 SECTION 3.02.    Selection of Notes To Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption as follows: 

(a) if the Notes are listed on a national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal
national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or 
 (b) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro
rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate and, so long as any Global Notes are outstanding, in accordance with the procedures of the Depository; 

provided that, in the case of such partial redemption pursuant to Section 6 of the Notes or an Asset Disposition Offer, the Trustee will
select the Notes on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as practicable (subject to the procedures of the Depository). 
 No Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. So long as the Notes are represented by Global Notes registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, neither the Trustee nor
any of its agents shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 

  
 -40-









 SECTION 3.03.    Notice of Redemption. 

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first class mail,
postage prepaid, to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall forward the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. Each notice for
redemption shall identify the Notes (including the CUSIP number) to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (1) the
Redemption Date; 
 (2) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to be paid; 

(3) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(4) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued
interest, if any; 
 (5) that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes
called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed; 

(6) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after
the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued; 
 (7) if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and
the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption; and 
 (8) the Section
of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed. 
 The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be
conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. 
 SECTION
3.04.    Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with
Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, such Notes called for redemption shall be paid at
the Redemption Price (which shall include accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date), except that installments of interest, the maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be payable to Holders of record at the close of
business on the relevant Record Dates. On and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 

  
 -41-









 SECTION 3.05.    Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or before 11:00 a.m. New York time on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient
to pay the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, of all Notes to be redeemed on that date. 
 If the Company complies
with the preceding paragraph, then, unless the Company defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or
not such Notes are presented for payment. 
 SECTION 3.06.    Notes Redeemed in Part. 

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note or Notes shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note or Notes. 

SECTION 3.07.    Special Mandatory Redemption. 
 If (i) the Escrow Agent has not received the Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Section 4.20(b) on or prior to the Escrow End Date, or (ii) the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in
writing that the Company will not pursue the consummation of the Merger, then the Escrow Agent shall, without the requirement of notice to or action by the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, release the Escrow Proceeds (including investment
earnings thereon and proceeds thereof) to the Trustee and the Trustee shall apply (or cause a Paying Agent to apply) such proceeds to redeem the Notes (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) on the Business Day following the date of
the release of the Escrow Proceeds to the Trustee (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”) at a redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus
accrued and unpaid interest from the Issue Date or the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Notes, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. On the Special Mandatory
Redemption Date, the Trustee will pay to the Company any Escrow Proceeds in excess of the amount necessary to effect the Special Mandatory Redemption. 
 ARTICLE FOUR 
 COVENANTS 
 SECTION 4.01.    Payment of Notes. 
 The Company shall
duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes in the manner provided in the Notes and this Indenture. An installment of principal of or interest on the Notes shall be considered paid on the date it is due

comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

  
 -42-









 The Company will pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, Notes in global form
registered in the name of or held by the Depository or its nominee in immediately available funds to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such global Note. 

The Company will pay interest (including, without limitation, post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue principal and, to the extent such payments are lawful, interest on overdue premium, if any, and overdue installments of interest, without regard to any applicable grace periods, at the rate of 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest
rate otherwise borne by the Notes, to the extent permissible by law up to but excluding the date on which such overdue principal, premium or interest, as the case may be, is paid as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 4.01.

 SECTION 4.02.    Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the office or agency required under Section 2.03. The
Company shall 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 Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 12.02. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designations. The Company 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. The Company may, at its option, pay interest on the Notes by check
mailed to Holders of the Notes at their registered addresses as they appear in the Registrar’s books. 
 The Company hereby
initially designates The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., c/o The Bank of New York Mellon, located at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 8W, New York, New York 10286, as such office of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03. 

SECTION 4.03.    Corporate Existence. 
 Except as otherwise permitted by Article Five, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate,
partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the respective organizational documents of each such Restricted Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory) and material franchises of the Company and
each of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, franchise or corporate, partnership or other existence with respect to any such Restricted Subsidiary if the
loss thereof would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole and provided further that
this Section 4.03 shall not prohibit or restrict any sale, transfer or other disposition in compliance with Section 4.15. 
 SECTION
4.04.    Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. 
 Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors that
are individually Significant Subsidiaries shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or upon the
income, profits or property of it and (b) all lawful material claims for labor, materials and supplies which, in each case, if unpaid, might by law become a material liability or Lien upon its property; provided,


  
 -43-









 
however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim (a) whose
amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate action and for which appropriate provision has been made or (b) where the failure to effect such payment would not individually or in the aggregate have a
material adverse effect on the ability of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantors to perform each of their respective obligations hereunder. 

SECTION 4.05.    [Intentionally Omitted.] 
 SECTION 4.06.    Compliance Certificate; Notice of Default. 
 (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’ Certificate signed by the principal executive officer, the principal
financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the
Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of such Officer’s knowledge, the
Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor during such preceding fiscal year has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every such covenant and no Default occurred during such year and at the date of such certificate there is no Default that
has occurred and is continuing or, if such signers do know of such Default, the certificate shall describe its status with particularity. The Company’s fiscal year currently ends on December 31. The Officers’ Certificate shall also
notify the Trustee should the Company elect to change the manner in which it fixes its fiscal year end. 
 (b) The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default an Officers’ Certificate specifying the Default and describing its status with particularity and the
action proposed to be taken thereto. 
 SECTION 4.07.    Termination of Covenants. 

If on any date following the Release Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both of the Rating Agencies, (ii) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) the Company has delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are satisfied (the

and will be permanently released from their obligations under, Sections 4.10, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 and clause (3) of the first paragraph of Section 5.01, and no failure by the Company or any Subsidiary to comply with any of the
foregoing Sections shall constitute a Default or Event of Default. 
 SECTION 4.08. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. 

Each of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the
principal of and/or interest on the Notes or the Note Guarantee of any such Subsidiary Guarantor as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture
and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) each hereby expressly waives 

  
 -44-









 
all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 SECTION 4.09.    Change of Control. 

If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the then outstanding Notes pursuant to Sections
5, 6 and/or 8 of the Notes, each Holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000, provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note repurchased in part must not be less
than $2,000) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of Control Payment Date. 

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the then outstanding Notes
pursuant to Sections 5, 6 and/or 8 of the Notes, the Company will mail a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, stating: 

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such
Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of Control Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”);

 (2) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days after the date such
notice is mailed) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 
 (3) that any Note not tendered will
continue to accrue interest; 
 (4) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Note
accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on
the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the second
Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
 (7) that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part
will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; 
 (8)
the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control; and 
 (9) the procedures determined by
the Company, consistent with this Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased. 

  
 -45-









 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in integral multiples of $1,000, provided that the remaining
principal amounts of any Note repurchased in part must not be less than $2,000) properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes so tendered; and 

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate
stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 
 The Paying Agent will
promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

 The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change
of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes that are validly tendered and not
withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
 The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of
Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.09. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue of the conflict. 

SECTION 4.10.    Limitation on Indebtedness. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Company and any
Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) if, after giving effect thereto (the “Coverage Ratio Exception”): 

(1) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is at least 2.00 to 1.00; and

 (2) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred or be continuing or would occur as a consequence of
Incurring the Indebtedness or transactions relating to such Incurrence. 

  
 -46-









 The first paragraph of this Section 4.10 will not prohibit the Incurrence of the
following Indebtedness (“Permitted Indebtedness”): 
 (1) Indebtedness of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary Incurred pursuant to the Senior Credit Facilities (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability thereunder to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) or a
Qualified Receivables Transaction in an aggregate principal amount Incurred pursuant to this clause (1) at any time outstanding not to exceed $4,000.0 million, less the aggregate principal amount of all principal repayments with the proceeds
from Asset Dispositions utilized in accordance with clause (3)(a)(i) of the first paragraph of Section 4.15 that permanently reduce the commitments thereunder; 

(2) Guarantees by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness Incurred in accordance with the provisions of
this Indenture or existing on the Issue Date, or Guarantees by a Foreign Subsidiary of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary Incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is
being Guaranteed by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor is a Subordinated Obligation or a Guarantor Subordinated Obligation, then the related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, as the case may be;

 (3) Indebtedness of the Company owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted
Subsidiary owing to and held by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, 

(i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Indebtedness being
beneficially held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and 
 (ii) any
sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 

shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, not
permitted by this clause (3); 
 (4) Indebtedness represented by (a) the Notes issued on the Issue Date
and the Note Guarantees, and (b) any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (5), (7), (8), (9), (10) and (17)) outstanding on the Issue Date; 

(5) Indebtedness under Hedging Obligations that are Incurred in the ordinary course of business (and not for speculative
purposes) (1) for the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness Incurred without violation of this Indenture, provided that the notional principal amount of such Hedging Obligations at the time
Incurred does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness to which such Hedging Obligations relate; or (2) for the purpose of fixing or hedging currency exchange rate risk, provided that the underlying Currency Agreements with
respect to such Hedging Obligations do not increase the Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding other than as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or by reason of fees, indemnities and
compensation payable thereunder; 
 (6) the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness with respect to property or other assets other than Capital Stock or other Investments, in each 

  
 -47-









 
case to the extent Incurred for the purpose of financing or refinancing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of acquisition, construction or improvements of property or other assets used
or useful in the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the greater of (a) $250.0 million and (b) 7.5% of Total Tangible Assets at that time;

 (7) Indebtedness Incurred in respect of workers’ compensation claims, self-retention or self-insurance
obligations, unemployment insurance, performance, release, appeal, surety and similar bonds and related reimbursement obligations and completion guarantees or similar instruments provided or Incurred by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in the
ordinary course of business and obligations in connection with participation in government reimbursement or other programs or other similar requirements (in each case, other than for an obligation for money borrowed); 

(8) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification,
contribution, earnout, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, Incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that
any amount of such obligations included on the face of the balance sheet of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be permitted under this clause (8); 

(9) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar
instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of Incurrence; 

(10) shares of Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary;
provided that any subsequent transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such shares of Preferred Stock (except
to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an issuance of Preferred Stock not permitted by this clause (10); 
 (11) Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the net proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to effect defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Notes pursuant to
Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 8.04 or to effect discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.01, so long as the other conditions thereunder have been satisfied in full; 

(12) Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception or pursuant
to this clause (12) or Incurred or referred to in clause (4) above; 
 (13) Guarantees given by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of Indebtedness of any Special Purpose Licensed Entity which obligations, when aggregated with the aggregate amount of all then outstanding Investments made under clause (12) of the definition of
“Permitted Investment,” do not exceed $150.0 million at any time outstanding; 
 (14)
(a) Indebtedness, including Acquired Indebtedness, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor incurred in connection with, or in anticipation or contemplation of, an acquisition or merger by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor of property
used or useful in a Permitted Business (whether through the direct purchase of assets or the purchase of Capital Stock 

  
 -48-









 
of, or merger or consolidation with, any Person owning such assets); provided that the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries determined on a pro
forma basis for the Incurrence of such Indebtedness (and the application of the proceeds therefrom), either (A) would have been at least 2.00 to 1 or (B) would have been greater than such Consolidated Coverage Ratio immediately prior
to such acquisition; and 
 (b) Acquired Indebtedness Incurred by the debtor thereof prior to the time that the
debtor thereunder was acquired (whether by merger, consolidation, acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise) by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or prior to the time that the related asset or property was acquired by the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and was not Incurred in connection with, or in anticipation or contemplation of, such acquisition, and Refinancing Indebtedness thereof, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200.0 million at any time outstanding;

 (15) Indebtedness Incurred in connection with any Sale/Leaseback Transaction; provided that the
aggregate outstanding amount of all such Indebtedness under this clause (15) does not exceed $50.0 million at any time outstanding; 
 (16) Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250.0 million at any time outstanding; 

(17) Indebtedness under the Existing Notes outstanding on the Issue Date and any Guarantees of the Existing Notes;

 (18) Indebtedness arising under any cash pooling arrangement to the extent that the net value thereof
(determined by subtracting the borrowings and other withdrawals therefrom from the amount of cash deposited therein) is positive (for purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed that, if the net value of any cash pooling arrangement is
negative, then any Indebtedness attributable to such negative balance shall not be permitted under this clause (18), but may be Incurred under the Coverage Ratio Exception or any other clause of “Permitted Indebtedness” to the extent
permitted thereby); and 
 (19) in addition to the items referred to in clauses (1) through (18) above,
Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (19) and then outstanding
(including any renewals, extensions, substitutions, refinancings or replacements of such Indebtedness), will not exceed $350.0 million at any time outstanding. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 4.10: 

(1) subject to clause (2) below, in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of
Indebtedness described in the first and second paragraphs of this Section 4.10, the Company, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of Incurrence and may later reclassify all or a portion of
such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.10, and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such paragraphs (or, in the case of the second paragraph of this Section 4.10,
one of the clauses in such second paragraph); 

  
 -49-









 (2) all Indebtedness Incurred or outstanding under the Senior Credit
Facilities on October 20, 2010 shall be deemed Incurred under the Senior Credit Facilities on October 20, 2010 under clause (1) of “Permitted Indebtedness” and not the Coverage Ratio Exception or any of the other clauses
under “Permitted Indebtedness”; 
 (3) Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit
relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included as long as Incurred by a Person that could have Incurred such Indebtedness; 

(4) if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to the Senior Credit Facilities and are being
treated as Incurred pursuant to the first or second paragraph above and the letters of credit relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included; 

(5) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or Preferred Stock of a
Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, will be equal to the greater of its voluntary or involuntary liquidation preference and its maximum fixed repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase
premium); 
 (6) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.10 need not be permitted solely by reference to
one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.10 permitting such Indebtedness; 

(7) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the
amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and 
 (8) the principal amount of
any Indebtedness outstanding in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction is the Receivables Transaction Amount relating to such Qualified Receivables Transaction (which amount shall not include dispositions of self-pay receivables in the
ordinary course of business, which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries believes in good faith cannot be paid in full). 
 Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of
Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.10. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case
of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principal amount or, in the case of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock, the greater of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation preference and the maximum fixed repurchase
price thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness. 

In addition, the Company will not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness or issue any shares of
Disqualified Stock (other than Non-Recourse Debt and other than Indebtedness of a Receivables Subsidiary in respect of a Qualified Receivables Transaction). If on any date an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness
of such Subsidiary outstanding at such time shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 4.10, the Company shall be in
default of this Section 4.10). 

  
 -50-









 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, or, in
the case of revolving credit Indebtedness, the date such Indebtedness was first committed; 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-dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-dominated 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.10, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. 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 refinanced Indebtedness and refinancing Indebtedness are
denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. In the event that any other provision (including, without limitation, any other covenant or any defined term) of this Indenture requires the calculation of the principal amount of any
Indebtedness, such calculation shall, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, be made in a manner consistent with the third paragraph, the fourth paragraph and this sixth paragraph of this Section 4.10, mutatis
mutandis. 
 SECTION 4.11.    Limitation on Layering. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness that is or purports
to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to any other Indebtedness of the Company or of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the
terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Notes, to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated
to such other Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be. 
 For purposes of the foregoing, no
Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured by a junior priority Lien or by virtue of the fact that
the holders of such Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements or similar arrangements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them. 

SECTION 4.12.    Limitation on Restricted Payments. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to: 
 (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution (whether made in cash, securities or other property) on or in respect of its Capital Stock (including any payment in connection with any merger or
consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) except: 
 (a) dividends or
distributions payable in Capital Stock of the Company (other than Capital Stock that is Disqualified Stock) or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Capital Stock of the Company; and 

  
 -51-









 (b) dividends or distributions payable to the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary (and if such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary, to its other holders of common Capital Stock on a pro rata basis); 

(2) purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any Capital Stock of the Company or any direct or indirect
parent of the Company held by Persons other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than in exchange for Capital Stock of the Company (other than Capital Stock that is Disqualified Stock) or in exchange for options, warrants, or other
such rights to purchase such Capital Stock of the Company); 
 (3) purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or
otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations (other than (x) such Subordinated Obligations or
Guarantor Subordinated Obligations 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 other
acquisition or retirement and (y) such Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary); or 
 (4) make any Restricted Investment in any Person 
 (any such dividend, distribution, purchase,
redemption, repurchase, defeasance, other acquisition, retirement or Restricted Investment referred to in clauses (1) through (4) shall be referred to herein as a “Restricted Payment”), if at the time the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment: 
 (a) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing (or would result therefrom); or 
 (b) the Company is not able to Incur an additional $1.00 of
Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to such Restricted Payment; or 
 (c) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments declared or made subsequent to October 20, 2010 (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2)(ii), (3),
(4), (8), (9), (10) and (11) below) would exceed the sum (the “Restricted Payments Basket”) of (without duplication): 
 (i) 50% of Consolidated Net Income for the period (treated as one accounting period) from October 1, 2010 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Restricted
Payment for which financial statements are in existence (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit); plus 
 (ii) 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds and the Fair Market Value of Qualified Proceeds received by the Company from the issue or sale of its Capital Stock (other than Capital Stock that is
Disqualified Stock) or other capital contributions to the common equity of the Company subsequent to October 20, 2010 (other than (x) Net Cash Proceeds received from an issuance or sale of such Capital Stock to a Subsidiary of the Company
or an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or Guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid


  
 -52-









 
with cash on or prior to the date of determination and (y) Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company from the issue or sale of its Capital Stock to the extent used to redeem Notes in
compliance with Section 6 of the Notes); plus 
 (iii) the amount by which Indebtedness of the
Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries is reduced on the Company’s balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of the Company) subsequent to October 20, 2010 of any Indebtedness of the Company or its
Restricted Subsidiaries issued after October 20, 2010 convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company (less the amount of any cash, or the Fair Market Value of any other property, distributed by the
Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries upon such conversion or exchange); plus  
 (iv) the amount equal
to the net reduction in Restricted Investments made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in any Person resulting from: 
 (A) repurchases or redemptions of such Restricted Investments by such Person, proceeds realized upon the sale of such Restricted Investment to an unaffiliated purchaser, repayments of loans or advances or
other transfers of assets (including by way of dividend or distribution) by such Person to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than expressly for reimbursement of tax payments) not to exceed the aggregate amount of all such Restricted
Investments made since October 20, 2010; or 
 (B) the redesignation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as
Restricted Subsidiaries (valued in each case as provided in the definition of “Investment”) not to exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments previously made since October 20, 2010 by the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary in such Unrestricted Subsidiary, 
 which amount in each case under this clause (iv) was included
in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; provided, however, that no amount will be included under clause (iv)(A) of this paragraph to the extent it is already included in Consolidated Net Income. 

The provisions of the preceding paragraph will not prohibit: 

(1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration of such dividend if the dividend would have
been permitted on the date of declaration; 
 (2) if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the acquisition, retirement, defeasance or purchase of any shares of Capital Stock of the Company either (i) solely in exchange for shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or (ii) through the
application of the net proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Capital Stock that is Disqualified Stock) (provided that the amount
of net proceeds so applied shall not be applied toward the Restricted Payments Basket); 
 (3) if no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the acquisition, making of any principal payment, redemption, defeasance or other retirement of any Subordinated Obligations either (i) solely in exchange for shares of Capital Stock of
the Company 

  
 -53-









 
(other than Capital Stock that is Disqualified Stock), (ii) through the application of net proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of
(a) shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Capital Stock that is Disqualified Stock) (provided that the amount of net proceeds so applied shall not be applied toward the Restricted Payments Basket), (b) Refinancing
Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.10, or (c) “Refinancing Indebtedness” as defined in, and that was permitted to be incurred and, prior to the date of this Indenture, was incurred pursuant to
Section 4.10, of the indentures pursuant to which the Existing Notes were issued, (iii) upon a Change of Control or in connection with an Asset Disposition to the extent required by the agreement governing such Subordinated Obligations but
only if the Company shall have complied with Sections 4.09 or 4.15, as applicable, and, if applicable, purchased all Notes validly tendered pursuant to the relevant offer prior to acquiring, paying, redeeming, defeasing or otherwise retiring such
Subordinated Obligations or (iv) to the extent such Subordinated Obligations constitute Acquired Indebtedness not Incurred in connection with or in anticipation or contemplation of the underlying acquisition or merger or the applicable Person
becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (4) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, repurchases by the Company of Common Stock of the Company from officers, directors and employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their authorized representatives upon the death, disability or termination of employment of
such employees or termination of their seat on the board of the Company, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15.0 million in any calendar year; 
 (5) repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options, warrants or other convertible or exercisable securities if such Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise or
conversion price thereof;

(7) the distribution of Capital Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company to holders of Capital Stock of the
Company; 
 (8) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, purchases
or other acquisitions or retirements by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company’s Common Stock for aggregate consideration not to exceed $1,200.0 million; 

(9) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the making of any Restricted Payments
if, at the time of the making of such payments, and after giving pro forma effect thereto (including, without limitation, the Incurrence of any Indebtedness to finance such payment), the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would not exceed 3.50
to 1.00; 
 (10) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other retirement of the Existing Notes on or after
October 20, 2010 to the extent such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other retirement would constitute a Restricted Payment; and 
 (11) additional Restricted Payments not to exceed $500.0 million in the aggregate since October 20, 2010. 

  
 -54-









 The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on
the date of such Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be paid, transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment. If the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary makes a Restricted Payment which, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, would in the good faith determination of the Company be permitted under the provisions of this Indenture, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to
have been made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments or restatements made in good faith to the Company’s financial statements. 
 SECTION 4.13.    Limitation on Liens. 
 The Company will
not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) of any nature whatsoever against any assets or property of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary (including Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries), whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after that date, which Lien secures Indebtedness or trade payables, unless contemporaneously therewith: 

(1) in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that ranks pari passu with the Notes or a Note Guarantee,
effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, at least equally and ratably with or prior to such obligation with a Lien on the same collateral; and 

(2) in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Note
Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same collateral that is prior to the Lien securing such subordinated obligation; 

in each case, for so long as such obligation is secured by such Lien. 
 SECTION 4.14.    Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability
of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock or pay
any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions
being paid on Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock); 
 (2) make any loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other
Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or 
 (3) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (1) or
(2) above). 

  
 -55-









 The preceding provisions will not prohibit: 

(i) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date, including,
without limitation, this Indenture, the Notes issued thereunder and the Guarantees thereof, the Existing Notes and the Guarantees thereof and the related indentures and the Senior Credit Facilities, in each case, as in effect on such date;

 (ii) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement relating

and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such agreement, amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, increase, refunding, replacement or refinancing are not, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s
Board of Directors, materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in such agreements referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph on the Issue Date or the
date such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired (whether by merger, consolidation, acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise) by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, whichever is applicable; 

(iv) (a) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business, (b) Capitalized Lease

Section 4.14 on the property so acquired; 
 (v) any restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary (or
any of its property or assets) imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the direct or indirect sale or disposition (whether by sale, merger, consolidation, acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise) of the Capital Stock or assets of such
Restricted Subsidiary (or the property or assets that are subject to such restriction) pending the closing of such sale or disposition;

governing Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”; 
 (xiii) in
the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, restrictions under the constitutive documents governing such Subsidiary: (A) with respect to Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date; and (B) with respect to
Subsidiaries created or acquired after the Issue Date: (1) prohibiting such Subsidiary from Guaranteeing Indebtedness of the Company or another Subsidiary; (2) on dividend payments and other distributions solely to permit pro rata
dividends and other distributions in respect of any Capital Stock of such Subsidiary; (3) limiting transactions with the Company or another Subsidiary to those with terms that are fair and reasonable to such Subsidiary and no less favorable to
such Subsidiary than could have been obtained in an arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party; and (4) limiting such Subsidiary’s ability to transfer assets or Incur Indebtedness without the consent of the holders of the
Capital Stock of such Subsidiary; and

amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, increases, restrictions, encumbrances, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, no more materially restrictive with respect
to such encumbrances and restrictions than those prior to such amendment or refinancing. 
 SECTION 4.15.    Limitation
on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
make any Asset Disposition unless: 
 (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
consideration (both cash and non cash) equal to not less than the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition;

 (2) at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition received by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets. For purposes of this clause (2), each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: 

(a) any liabilities (as shown on the face of the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s then most recent
balance sheet), of the Company or any Restricted 

  
 -57-









 
Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and Subordinated Obligations) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and 
 (b) any securities, notes or other
obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received in that conversion) within 180 days of the
closing of such Asset Disposition; and 
 (c) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company), taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this
clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed $100.0 million (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value);
and 
 (3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition: 

(a) first, is applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, 

(i) to the extent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, elects (or is required by the terms of
any Bank Indebtedness) to prepay, repay or purchase such Bank Indebtedness of the Company or of a Restricted Subsidiary within 365 days from the date of such Asset Disposition (such period, the “Application Period”), unless to the
extent such Net Available Cash is otherwise used in accordance with clause (ii); provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of any such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (a), the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased, or 

(ii) to the extent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, elects, to invest in Replacement Assets
within the applicable Application Period; and 
 (b) second, to the extent of the balance of the Net
Available Cash after application in accordance with (a) above (such balance, “Excess Proceeds”), is applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, toward an offer to purchase Notes as set forth in the
next succeeding paragraph; 
 provided, however, that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash
in accordance with clause (a) or clause (b) above, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 

On the 366th day after an Asset Disposition (or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary determines that the Net Available Cash will not 

  
 -58-









 
be applied in accordance with clause (3)(a) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.15), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Company will be required
to make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and, to the extent required by the terms of other Senior Indebtedness, to all holders of other Senior Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring
the Company to make an offer to purchase such Senior Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition (“Pari Passu Notes”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Notes to which the Asset
Disposition Offer applies 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 of the Notes and Pari Passu Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, in
accordance with the procedures set forth herein or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes, as applicable, in each case in integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount (provided that the unpurchased portion of any Note shall not be
less than $2,000 in principal amount) or, in the case of Pari Passu Notes, in such other integral multiples as may be specified in the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Notes
so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company 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 Pari Passu Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee, in accordance with (in the case of
Global Notes) the applicable procedures of the Depository, shall select the Notes and the holders, trustees or similar representatives, as the case may be, of Pari Passu Notes shall select the Pari Passu Notes to be purchased on a pro rata
basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of such tendered Notes and Pari Passu Notes. Upon completion of such Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 

Each Asset Disposition Offer will 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 “Asset Disposition Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “Asset Disposition Purchase
Date”), the Company will purchase the principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Notes required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 4.15 (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition
Offer Amount has been so validly tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Notes validly tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer. 
 Upon the commencement of an Asset Disposition Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder at its registered address. The notice shall contain all
instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. Any Asset Disposition Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Disposition Offer,
shall state: 
 (1) that the Asset Disposition Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15;

 (2) the Asset Disposition Offer Amount and the Asset Disposition Purchase Date; 

(3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrete or accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset
Disposition Offer shall cease to accrete or accrue interest after the Asset Disposition Purchase Date; 

  
 -59-









 (5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to the Asset
Disposition Offer may only elect to have all of such Note purchased and may not elect to have only a portion of such Note purchased; 
 (6) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Disposition Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on
the reverse of the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depository, if appointed by the Company, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Asset Disposition Purchase
Date; 
 (7) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depository or the
Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the second business day prior to the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, a notice 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; 
 (8) that, if the aggregate
principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Asset Disposition Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that
only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased); 
 (9) 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); and 

(10) all other procedures, if any, determined by the Company, consistent with this Indenture, that a Holder must follow in
order to have its Notes purchased in the Asset Disposition Offer. 
 If the Asset Disposition Purchase Date is on or after an
interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be
payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. 
 On or before the Asset Disposition Purchase
Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes and Pari Passu Notes or portions of such Notes and Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered
and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer, or if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes and Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn, in each case in integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount (provided that the unpurchased portion of any Note shall not be less than $2,000 in principal amount) or, in the case of Pari Passu Notes, in such other integral multiples
as may be specified in the agreements governing such Pari Passu Notes. The Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the
terms of this Section 4.15 and, in addition, the Company will deliver all certificates and notes required, if any, by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes. The Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any
case not later than five Business Days after termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder of Notes or holder or lender of Pari Passu Notes, as the case may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of
the Notes or Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee,


  
 -60-









 
upon delivery of an Officers’ Certificate from the Company, will authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the
Note surrendered; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In addition, the Company will take any and all other actions required by the agreements governing
the Pari Passu Notes. Any Note not so accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Disposition Offer on or promptly following the Asset Disposition
Purchase Date. 
 In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Article 5, which transaction does not constitute a Change of Control, the successor company shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.15, and shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.15 with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Disposition. In addition, the Fair
Market Value of such properties and assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Available Cash for purposes of this Section 4.15. 

The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws
or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.15. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.15, the Company will comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of any conflict. 
 SECTION 4.16.     Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any
transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0
million unless: 
 (1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable, taken as a whole, to the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate; and 

(2) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of $35.0 million, the terms of
such transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company and by a majority of the members of such Board of Directors having no personal stake in such transaction, if any (and such majority or
majorities, as the case may be, determines that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in clause (1) above). 

The preceding paragraph will not apply to: 
 (1) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.12 or any Investment described in the definition of “Permitted Investments”; 

(2) any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the
funding of, employment agreements and other compensation arrangements, options to purchase Capital Stock of the Company, stock purchase, ownership or 

  
 -61-









 
option plans, long-term incentive plans, stock appreciation rights plans, participation plans or similar employee or director benefits plans provided on behalf of directors, officers, consultants
and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; 
 (3) loans or advances to employees, consultants, officers or directors in the ordinary course of business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including for travel, entertainment, moving
or relocation) or Guarantees in respect thereof or otherwise made on their behalf (including payment on any such Guarantees) made in compliance with applicable law but in any event not to exceed $15.0 million in the aggregate outstanding (without
giving effect to the forgiveness of any such loan) at any one time with respect to all loans or advances made since the Issue Date; 
 (4) any transaction between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries, and Guarantees issued by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary for the benefit of the Company, a
Restricted Subsidiary and/or a Special Purpose Licensed Entity, as the case may be, in accordance with Sections 4.10 and 4.13; 
 (5) the payment of reasonable and customary fees to directors, and indemnity provided on behalf of, directors, officers, employees or consultants, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; 

(6) the performance of obligations of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under the terms of any agreement
to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party as of or on the Issue Date, as these agreements may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time; provided, however, that any future amendment,
modification, supplement, extension or renewal entered into after the Issue Date will be permitted to the extent that its terms are not more materially disadvantageous, taken as a whole, to the Holders of the Notes than the terms of the agreements
in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (7) transactions entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, management contracts and payments pursuant to management contracts) with any Person (including, without limitation, any joint venture, limited or general partnership,
limited liability company or similar business entity) that owns or has any rights to use property or assets used or useful in a Permitted Business; 
 (8) sales of Receivables, or participations therein, in connection with any Qualified Receivables Transaction; and 
 (9) transactions relating to any cash pooling arrangement. 
 SECTION
4.17.    Conduct of Business. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, engage in any other business that is not a Permitted Business. 
 SECTION 4.18.    SEC Reports. 

Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to the
extent permitted by the Exchange Act, the Company will file or furnish with the SEC, and make available to the Trustee and the registered Holders of the Notes, 

  
 -62-









 
the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) that are specified in
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act within the time periods specified therein or in the relevant forms. In the event that the Company is not permitted to file such reports, documents and information with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act,
the Company will nevertheless make available such Exchange Act information to the Trustee and Holders of Notes as if the Company were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within the time periods
specified therein. 
 If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, or if the consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Physician Groups, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, (a) in the footnotes to the financial
statements and (b) in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. The quarterly and annual
financial information required by the preceding paragraph shall reflect the adjustments necessary to eliminate the accounts of any Unrestricted Subsidiary and any Physician Groups and Subsidiaries thereof (which may be in footnote form only) from
such consolidated financial statements. 
 For purposes of this Section 4.18, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
will be deemed to have furnished the reports to the Trustee and the Holders of Notes as required by this Section 4.18 if they have filed or furnished such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR (or successor or similar) filing system and such
reports are publicly available. 
 Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 SECTION
4.19.    Future Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to
Guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Guarantee by a Foreign Subsidiary of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary or a Guarantee by a Receivables Subsidiary),
unless such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations under this Indenture on a senior basis; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, any
Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Restricted Subsidiary’s Note Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the
Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be. 
 The obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will be
limited as necessary to prevent its Note Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. 
 Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture. 

  
 -63-









 Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will
provide by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged under the circumstances set forth in Section 11.05. The form of the Note Guarantee is attached hereto as Exhibit C. 

SECTION 4.20.    Escrow of Net Proceeds. 
 (a) Unless the Merger shall have been consummated simultaneously with the consummation of the offering of the Notes, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Escrow Agent shall enter into the
Escrow Agreement and, in connection therewith, the Escrow Proceeds will be placed by the Company in escrow until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company delivers to the Escrow Agent the Officers’ Certificate referred to in
Section 4.20(b), (ii) the Escrow End Date and (iii) the date on which the Company delivers notice to the Escrow Agent to the effect set forth in clause (ii) of Section 3.07. The terms of the escrow shall be set forth in the
Escrow Agreement, pursuant to which the Company shall deposit with the Escrow Agent, on the Issue Date, the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriting discount) from the offering of the Notes together with additional cash and Eligible Escrow
Investments, in an amount sufficient (as reasonably determined by the Company taking into account investment income therefrom and proceeds thereof) to redeem the Notes for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes sold on the Issue Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the Issue Date or the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Notes, as the case may be, up to, but not including,
the Business Day after the Escrow End Date (collectively, the “Escrow Proceeds”). The Company shall grant the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, subject to any Lien of the Escrow Agent, a first priority security interest in
the Escrow Account and all deposits and investment property therein to secure the payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption; provided, however, that such Lien and security interest shall automatically be released and terminate at
such time as the Escrow Proceeds are released from the escrow in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. 
 (b) The Company will
only be entitled to direct the Escrow Agent to release Escrow Proceeds in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (in which case the Escrow Proceeds will be paid to or as directed by the Company as provided in the Escrow Agreement) upon delivery to the
Escrow Agent, on or prior to the Escrow End Date, of an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the following conditions have been or, substantially concurrently with the release of the Escrow Proceeds, will be satisfied (the date of delivery of
such certificate to the Escrow Agent is hereinafter called the “Release Date”): 
 (1) (A) all
conditions precedent to the consummation of the Merger will have been, or substantially concurrently with the release of the Escrow Proceeds will be, satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (other than the payment of
Closing Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied substantially concurrently with the consummation of Merger) and (B) the Merger will be consummated on
substantially the terms described in the Company’s prospectus supplement dated August 14, 2012 relating to the Notes substantially concurrently with the release of funds on deposit with the Escrow Agent; 

(2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture; 

(3) all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement (other than the
release of the Escrow Proceeds) have been, or substantially concurrently with the release of the Escrow Proceeds will be, satisfied or waived and prior 

  
 -64-









 
to or substantially concurrently with the release of the funds from the escrow account, the amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement will be effective and the term loans to be drawn in connection
with the Merger will be able to be drawn upon by the Company substantially concurrently with the release of the funds from the escrow account; and 
 (4) Health Care Partners Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries that are required to guarantee the Senior Credit Agreement shall have, by supplemental indenture or joinder, as applicable, effective upon the
release of the funds from the escrow account, become, or substantially concurrently with the release of the funds from the escrow account shall become, parties to the Indenture and other transaction documents as Subsidiary Guarantors. 

ARTICLE FIVE 

MERGER AND CONSOLIDATION 

SECTION 5.01.    Merger and Consolidation. 
 The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless: 

(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) will be a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company (if not the Company) will expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered
to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture; 
 (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the Successor Company as a result of such
transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and any related financing, the Successor Company would be able to
Incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; 
 (4) each
Subsidiary Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transactions above, in which case clause (1) shall apply or unless the Company is the Successor Company) shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Note Guarantee shall
apply to such Successor Company’s obligations in respect of this Indenture and the Notes; and 
 (5) the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures (if any) comply with this Indenture. 

For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a
consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company. 

  
 -65-









 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other
disposition of assets of any Subsidiary in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction that complies with the other provisions of this Indenture shall not constitute the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all the assets of the Company or such Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.01. 
 The predecessor
Company will be released from its obligations under this Indenture and the Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture, but, in the case of a lease of all or
substantially all its assets, the predecessor Company will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding clause (3), (y) the Company may effect a reorganization described in the proviso to the definition of “Change of Control,” (w) any Restricted Subsidiary
may consolidate with, merge with or into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, (x) any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with, merger with or into
or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, (y) the Company may merge with or into an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in
another jurisdiction and (z) the Company may consolidate with, merge with or into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to a Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 In addition, the Company will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into any Person (other than another Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company) and will not permit the
conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor to any Person (other than another Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company) unless: 

(1) (a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person will be a corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability
company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia and such Person (if not such Subsidiary Guarantor) will expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed
and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee; (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the resulting,

be continuing; and (c) the Company will have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures comply with this Indenture;

 ARTICLE SIX 
 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 
 SECTION 6.01.    Events of Default. 

Each of the following is an Event of Default (each an “Event of Default”): 

(1) default in any payment of interest on any Note issued and outstanding under the Indenture when due, continued for 30
days; 
 (2) default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any Note issued and outstanding under
the Indenture when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise; 
 (3) failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with its obligations under Article Five; 
 (4) failure by the Company to comply for 30 days after written notice with any of its obligations under the covenants described under Sections 4.09 through 4.19 (in each case, other than a failure to
purchase Notes issued and outstanding under this Indenture, which will constitute an Event of Default under clause (2) above); 
 (5) failure by the Company to comply for 60 days after written notice with its other agreements contained in this Indenture; 

(6) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured
or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is Guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee exists on, or is created after, the Issue Date, which default: 
 (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal at final maturity of such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (“payment default”); or

 (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its final maturity (the
“cross-acceleration provision”); 
 and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together
with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $75.0 million or more; 

(7) (a) the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences a voluntary case or proceeding; 

  
 -67-









 (ii) consents to the entry of judgment, decree or order for relief against
it in an involuntary case or proceeding; 
 (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any
substantial part of its property; 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

 (v) consents to or acquiesces in the institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it;

 (vi) takes any corporate action to authorize or effect any of the foregoing; or 

(vii) takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; or 

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

(i) is for relief in an involuntary case against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning
of any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (ii) appoints a Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the Company
or a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law; or 
 (iii) orders the
winding up or liquidation of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law; 
 and in the case of each of (i),
(ii) and (iii) such order, decree or relief remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; 
 (8) failure
by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary to pay the uninsured portion of final judgments aggregating in excess of $75.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days (the “judgment default
provision”); 
 (9) any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor ceases
to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Subsidiary Guarantors that taken
together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its or their, as the case may be, obligations under this Indenture or its Note Guarantee or their Note Guarantees, as the case may be. 

However, a default under clauses (4) and (5) of this paragraph will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 25%
in principal amount of the Notes outstanding notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (4) and (5) of this paragraph after receipt of such notice. 

  
 -68-









 The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of
Default and whether it is voluntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 

SECTION 6.02.    Acceleration. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company of the type described in clause (7) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the
Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable immediately. 

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in clause (6) of Section 6.01
has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) of Section 6.01 shall be remedied or
cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not
conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of
the Notes, have been cured or waived. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in clause (7) of
Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holders. 
 SECTION 6.03.    Other Remedies. 
 If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 The 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. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a delay or omission by the Trustee or any Noteholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon a Default shall not
impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Default, no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy and all available remedies are cumulative to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 

SECTION 6.04.    Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may (a) waive, by their consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on a Note, and
(b) rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than
the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, 

  
 -69-









 
and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right. 
 SECTION
6.05.    Control by Majority. 
 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01, however, the Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Noteholder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee
may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 In the event the
Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such
direction. 
 SECTION 6.06.    Limitation on Suits. 

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with
respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice
that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (2) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes
have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with
such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5)
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 

A Noteholder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or
priority over such other Noteholder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Noteholders). 

SECTION 6.07.    Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Note,
on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, 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 the Holder. 

  
 -70-









 SECTION 6.08.    Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If a Default in payment of principal or interest specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum specified in the last paragraph of Section 4.01 and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover
the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 SECTION 6.09.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The
Trustee may 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 compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel) and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company, its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Noteholder 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 Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof,
or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding. The Trustee shall be entitled to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors in the matters as it deems necessary or advisable.

 SECTION 6.10.    Priorities. 
 If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 
 Second: to Holders for interest accrued on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for interest; 

Third: to Holders for principal amounts due and unpaid on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal; and 
 Fourth: to the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantors, as their
respective interests may appear. 
 The Trustee, upon prior notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for
any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 

  
 -71-









 SECTION 6.11.    Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by
a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 
 ARTICLE SEVEN 
 TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.01.    Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the

that repayment of such funds is not assured to it.

Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to this Section 7.01. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable

 (g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate (including any Officers’ Certificate), statement, instrument, opinion
(including any Opinion of Counsel), notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see

 -73-

of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder. 
 (i) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things

 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 Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent

trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers, of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Noteholders. 

  
 -74-









 SECTION 7.06.    Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2013, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described
in TIA § 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Noteholder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA
§§ 313(b), 313(c) and 313(d). 
 The Company shall notify the Trustee if the Notes become listed on any
securities exchange or of any delisting thereof. 
 SECTION 7.07.    Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in
writing for its services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and
advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors for, and hold them
harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), liability or expense incurred by them except for such actions to the extent caused by any
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s rights, powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or any of its agents, employees,
officers, stockholders and directors of which a Responsible Officer has received notice for which it may seek indemnity. The Company may, subject to the approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), defend the claim
and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors subject to the claim may have one firm of separate counsel (plus, with the prior written consent of the Company (not to be
unreasonably withheld) and upon the reasonable request by the Trustee to the Company, a second firm of separate counsel) at any one time and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however,
that the Company will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if, subject to the approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), it assumes the Trustee’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between
the Company, on the one hand, and the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors subject to the claim, on the other hand, in connection with such defense as reasonably determined by the Trustee. The Company need not pay
or indemnify for any settlement made without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, damage, claim, liability or expense to the extent caused
by any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee, or any of their respective agents, employees, officers, stockholders or directors. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a senior claim prior to the Notes against all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its
capacity as Trustee, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, or other amounts due under, the Notes or the Note Guarantees. 

  
 -75-









 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default specified in
Section 6.01(7) occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services shall be paid to the extent allowed under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the appointment of a successor
Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.08.    Replacement of Trustee. 

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 
 (2) the
Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; 
 (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
Trustee or its property; or 
 (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall notify each Holder
of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee
and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien
provided in Section 7.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail
notice of its succession to each Noteholder. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, no resignation or removal of the
Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the
Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Company. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 -76-









 Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the
Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION
7.09.    Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, national association or other entity, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation, national association or other entity without any further
act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation, national association or other entity is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation, national association or other entity shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven. 
 SECTION 7.10.    Eligibility; Disqualification.

 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirement of TIA §§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and
310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. In addition, if the Trustee is a corporation included in a bank holding company system,
the Trustee, independently of the bank holding company, shall meet the capital requirements of TIA § 310(a)(2). The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the
operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in
TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. The provisions of TIA § 310 shall apply to the Company and any other obligor of the Notes. 

SECTION 7.11.    Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. 

The Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in
TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated. 

SECTION 7.12.    Escrow Authorization. 
 Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, including related documents thereto, as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in
writing by the parties thereto (provided that no amendment that would materially adversely affect the rights of the Holders may be effected without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding), and authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter into the Escrow Agreement and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Company shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things
as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, to assure and confirm to the Trustee the security interest contemplated by the Escrow Agreement or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so
as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purpose herein expressed. The Company shall take, or shall cause to be taken, any and all actions
reasonably required to cause the Escrow Agreement to create and maintain, as security for the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes as provided in the Escrow Agreement, valid and enforceable first priority perfected Liens in
and on all of the Escrow Proceeds, in favor of the Trustee for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Holders, superior to and prior to the rights of third Persons and subject to no other Liens.

 ARTICLE EIGHT 
 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01.    Termination of the
Company’s Obligations. 
 This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as provided
in the second paragraph of this Section 8.01) as to all outstanding Notes when either: 
 (1) all the Notes
that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment U.S. Legal Tender has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and
thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from this trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or 
 (2) (a) all Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation otherwise (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable, or may be called for redemption, within one year
or (iii) have been called for redemption pursuant to the redemption provisions of this Indenture and the Notes and, in any case, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds, in trust solely
for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. Legal Tender, U.S. Government Obligations 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
(including all principal and accrued interest) on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, 
 (b) the Company has paid all other sums payable by it under this Indenture, 
 (c) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the date of redemption, as the case may be, and

 (d) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent providing for or relating to the termination of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture have been complied with. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also state that such satisfaction and
discharge does not result in a default under the Senior Credit Agreement or any other indenture or agreement evidencing Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an outstanding principal amount of $50.0
million or more. 
 Subject to the next sentence and notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the provisions of Sections 2.05,
2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 (with respect to the existence of the Company only), 7.07, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until the Notes have been cancelled or are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.08.
After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except for those
surviving obligations specified above.

 SECTION 8.02.    Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. 

(a) The Company may, at its option by Board Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, at any time, elect to have either the
Legal Defeasance option or the Covenant Defeasance option in paragraph (b) below be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8.03. 

(b) Subject to Sections 8.02(c) and 8.03, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors at any time may terminate (i) all their
obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (“Legal Defeasance”), and after giving effect to such Legal Defeasance, any omission to comply with such obligations shall no longer constitute a Default or Event of Default or
(ii) their obligations under Section 4.03 (other than with respect to the existence of the Company), Section 4.04 and Sections 4.09 through 4.19 and clause (3) of the first paragraph of Section 5.01, and the Company 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 any omission to comply with such covenants shall no longer constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Sections 6.01(4), (5), (6), (7) (with respect only to
Significant Subsidiaries), (8) and (9), the limitations contained in clause (3) of the first paragraph of Section 5.01, the failure of the Company to purchase Notes pursuant to Sections 4.09 or 4.15 and the events specified in such
Sections and clauses shall no longer constitute an Event of Default, but except as specified above in this clause (ii), the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes shall be unaffected thereby (clause (ii) being referred to as
“Covenant Defeasance”). The Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option. 
 If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default and the Note Guarantees and all obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors
under this Indenture shall terminate. If the Company exercises its Covenant Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified under Sections 6.01(4), (5), (6), (7) (with respect only to
Significant Subsidiaries), (8) or (9) or because of failure to comply with clause (3) of the first paragraph of Section 5.01 or because of any failure to purchase Notes pursuant to Sections 4.09 or 4.15 and no failure by the
Company or any Subsidiary to comply with any of the foregoing Sections shall constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. 
 Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates. 

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.01(a) and (b), the provisions of Sections 2.02 through 2.11, 4.01 through 4.04, 4.06,
4.08, 6.07, 7.07 and 7.08 and in this Article Eight shall survive until the Notes have been surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation and are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.08. After the Notes have been paid
in full, the Company’s obligations under Sections 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive. 
 SECTION 8.03.    Conditions
to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The following shall be the conditions to the application of either the Legal
Defeasance option as the Covenant Defeasance option hereof to the outstanding Notes: 

  
 -79-









 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in
U.S. Legal Tender, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

(2) in the case of an election of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
(subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of this
Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or
loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and Legal
Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of an election of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing either: (a) on the date of such deposit (other than a Default
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit), or (b) insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events pertaining to the Company are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the
date of deposit; provided that such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of such deposit, subject to such Event of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency pertaining to the
Company within such 91-day period; 
 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a
breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (6) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that
the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and 

(7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all
conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with (which Opinion of Counsel may expressly assume that the only material agreements or instruments referred to in clause (5) of this
Section 8.03 are those listed in an Officers’ Certificate).

 SECTION 8.04.    Application of Trust Money. 

The Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this
Article Eight and the principal and interest received in respect thereof, and shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender and the money from U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on
the Notes. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to invest said U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations except as it may agree with the Company. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 8.03 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 Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon
the Company’s request any U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.03 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, 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 8.05.    Repayment to the Company. 
 Subject to
this Article Eight, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect
to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years; provided that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before
being required to make any payment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and
that after a date specified therein which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to such
money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person. 
 SECTION
8.06.    Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender and
U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.03 in accordance with Section 8.04 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 Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Eight until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent
is permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article Eight; provided that if the Company has made any payment of premium, if any, or interest on or principal of any Notes because of
the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 -82-









 SECTION 9.02.    With Consent of Holders. 

(a) Subject to Section 6.07, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, together, with the written consent of the Holder or Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes), may amend or supplement this Indenture, the
Notes or the Note Guarantees, without notice to any other Noteholders. Subject to Section 6.07, the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive compliance with any provision of this

proposed amendment, supplement or waiver but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (d) After
an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02(b) becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

  
 -83-









 SECTION 9.03.    Intentionally Omitted. 

SECTION 9.04.    Compliance with TIA. 
 Every amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 
 SECTION 9.05.    Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder 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 or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to
his Note or portion of his Note by notice to the Trustee and the Company received before the date on which such amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with the terms
thereof (or if silent as to effectiveness, on the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to
such amendment, supplement or waiver) and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 The Company 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 which record date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then
notwithstanding the second sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled 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 90 days after such record date. The Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if
applicable. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Noteholder. 

SECTION 9.06.    Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 
 If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Company may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Company shall provide the Trustee with an appropriate
notation on the Note about the changed terms and cause the Trustee to return it to the Holder at the Company’s expense. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. 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 9.07.    Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc. 
 The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine; provided that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment,
supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’
Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and constituted the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company
enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions). Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

 ARTICLE TEN 
 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED 
 ARTICLE ELEVEN 

NOTE GUARANTEE 
 SECTION
11.01.    Unconditional Guarantee. 
 Subject to the provisions of this Article Eleven and to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, on a senior basis to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee
and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company or any other Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder: (a) (x) the due
and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise, (y) the due and punctual
payment of interest on the overdue principal and (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) overdue premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes and (z) the due and punctual payment and performance of all other obligations of
the Company and all other obligations of the other Guarantors (including under the Note Guarantees), in each case, to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof), all in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”); and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the due and punctual
payment and performance of Guarantee Obligations in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or
failing performance of any other obligation of the Company to the Holders under this Indenture or under the Notes, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. A
Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default under the Note Guarantees, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors thereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as
the obligations of the Company. 
 Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that (to the fullest extent permitted by law) its
obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to
any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Note Guarantee is affixed to any particular Note, or any other circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with
a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and this Note Guarantee. This Note Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. 

  
 -85-









 
If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or governmental authority to return to the Company or to any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official
acting in relation to the Company or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each
Guarantor further agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by law) that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article Eleven, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed
hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the
event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. 

SECTION 11.02.    Intentionally Omitted. 
 SECTION 11.03.    Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to
any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Article Eleven shall be limited to the maximum
amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without limitation, any Guarantees under the Senior Credit Agreement and its Guarantees of the Existing Notes) that are relevant under
such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from, or payments made by or on behalf of, any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Article
Eleven, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Article Eleven not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under such laws. 
 SECTION 11.04.    Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. 
 To further evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, shall be
endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Such Note Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of one Officer or other person duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action of such Guarantor who shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability of any Note Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note.

 Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. 
 If an Officer of a Guarantor
whose signature is on this Indenture or a Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which such Note Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee of such Note
shall nevertheless be valid. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of any Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor. 

  
 -86-









 SECTION 11.05.    Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor. 

A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee and its obligations under this Indenture:

 (1) in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary
Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the equity interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor then held by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(2) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or otherwise ceases to be a Restricted
Subsidiary, in each case in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, upon effectiveness of such designation or when it first ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, respectively; or 

(3) if such Subsidiary Guarantor no longer Guarantees any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company (except for Guarantees of other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that are released contemporaneously with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Note Guarantee); provided that a
Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be permitted to be released from its Note Guarantee if it is an obligor with respect to Indebtedness that would not, under Section 4.10, be permitted to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a
Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 The Trustee shall execute an appropriate instrument prepared by the Company evidencing the release of a
Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee upon receipt of a request by the Company or such Guarantor accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this
Section 11.05; provided, however, that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers’ Certificates of the Company. 

Except as set forth in Articles Four and Five and this Section 11.05, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes
shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another
Guarantor. 
 SECTION 11.06.    Waiver of Subrogation. 

Until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and
agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Notes or this Indenture and
such Guarantor’s obligations under this Note Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in
any claim or remedy of the Holders against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other assets or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the
Trustee or the Holders of Notes under the Notes or this Indenture, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the
Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such

Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.
Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.06 is knowingly made in contemplation of such
benefits. 
 SECTION 11.07.    Immediate Payment. 

Each Guarantor agrees to make immediate payment to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all Guarantee Obligations owing or payable to
the respective Holders upon receipt of a demand for payment therefor by the Trustee to such Guarantor in writing. 
 SECTION
11.08.    No Set Off. 
 Each payment to be made by a Guarantor hereunder in respect of the Guarantee
Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such Guarantee Obligations are denominated, and shall be made without set off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 

SECTION 11.09.    Guarantee Obligations Absolute. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts expressed to be owing or payable by each Guarantor hereunder which may not be recoverable
from such Guarantor on the basis of a Guarantee shall be recoverable from such Guarantor as a primary obligor and principal debtor in respect thereof. 
 SECTION 11.10.    Guarantee Obligations Continuing. 

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have
been paid and satisfied in full. Each Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability hereunder and
under any other instrument or instruments in such form as counsel to the Trustee may reasonably request and as will prevent any action brought against it in respect of any default hereunder being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter
in force and, in the event of the failure of a Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of such Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments
as may from time to time become necessary or reasonably advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of such Guarantor hereunder. 

SECTION 11.11.    Guarantee Obligations Not Reduced. 
 Subject to Section 11.05, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged solely by the payment of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees and other
monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article Eight be or become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Notes or this Indenture. 

SECTION 11.12.    Guarantee Obligations Reinstated. 
 Subject to Section 11.05, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at 

  
 -88-









 
any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of
a Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration
of the time for, payment by the Company or any other Guarantor is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or such Guarantor, all such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration
shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor as provided herein. 
 SECTION 11.13.    Guarantee Obligations Not
Affected. 
 Subject to Section 11.05, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by any
Guarantor or any of the Holders) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against any Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate any Guarantor from any of its obligations
hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the Holders or otherwise, including, without limitation: 
 (a) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Company or any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization,
readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding involving or affecting the Company or any other Person; 
 (b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other document or
instrument; 
 (c) any failure of the Company or any other Guarantor, whether or not without fault on its part,
to perform or comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee, or to give notice thereof to a Guarantor; 
 (d) the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against the Company or any other Person or their respective assets or the
release or discharge of any such right or remedy; 
 (e) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises,
concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person; 
 (f) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Notes, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Notes or this Indenture, including,
without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes; 
 (g) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of the Company or a Guarantor; 

(h) any merger or amalgamation of the Company or a Guarantor with any Person or Persons; 

  
 -89-









 (i) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or
ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Guarantee Obligations or
the obligations of a Guarantor under its Note Guarantee; and 
 (j) any other circumstance (other than a release
of a Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.05 and other than by complete, irrevocable payment), that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes or of a Guarantor in respect
of its Note Guarantee hereunder. 
 SECTION 11.14.    Waiver. 

Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 11.01, each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law)
notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of any Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the Holders upon the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Company, protest,
notice of dishonor or non payment of any of the Guarantee Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the Company or any Guarantor of any kind whatsoever. 
 SECTION 11.15.    No Obligation To Take Action Against the Company. 
 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies against the Company or any other Person
or any property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their Note Guarantees or under this Indenture. 

SECTION 11.16.    Dealing with the Company and Others. 

The Holders, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any
Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to any Guarantor, may to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: 
 (a) grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person; 

(b) take or abstain from taking security or collateral from the Company or from perfecting security or collateral of the
Company; 
 (c) release, discharge, compromise, realize, enforce or otherwise deal with or do any act or thing in
respect of (with or without consideration) any and all collateral, mortgages or other security given by the Company or any third party with respect to the obligations or matters contemplated by this Indenture or the Notes; 

(d) accept compromises or arrangements from the Company; 

(e) apply all monies at any time received from the Company or from any security upon such part of the Guarantee
Obligations as the Holders may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Holders may see fit; and 

  
 -90-









 (f) otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the
Company and all other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee may see fit. 
 SECTION 11.17.    Default
and Enforcement. 
 If any Guarantor fails to pay in accordance with Section 11.07 hereof, the Trustee may proceed in
its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the Note Guarantee of any such Guarantor and such Guarantor’s obligations thereunder and hereunder by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from
such Guarantor the obligations. 
 SECTION 11.18.    Amendment, Etc. 

Without limitation to the provisions of Article Nine, no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture relating to
any Guarantor or consent to any departure by any Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective unless it is signed by such Guarantor and the Trustee. 
 SECTION 11.19.    Acknowledgment. 
 Each Guarantor
hereby acknowledges communication of the terms of this Indenture and the Notes and consents to and approves of the same. 
 SECTION
11.20.    Costs and Expenses. 
 Each Guarantor shall pay on demand by the Trustee any and all costs,
fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) incurred by the Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights under any Note Guarantee. 

SECTION 11.21.    No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Note Guarantee shall operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of a
Guarantor under any other agreement, including, without limitation, this Indenture. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders, any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Note Guarantee and under this Indenture, the Notes and
any other document or instrument between a Guarantor and/or the Company and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privilege provided by law. 
 SECTION 11.22.    Survival of Guarantee Obligations. 

Subject to Section 11.05, without prejudice to the survival of any of the other obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor under Section 11.01 shall survive the payment in full of the Guarantee Obligations and shall be enforceable against such Guarantor without regard to and without
giving effect to any defense, right of offset or counterclaim available to or which may be asserted by the Company or any Guarantor. 

  
 -91-









 SECTION 11.23.    Guarantee in Addition to Other Guarantee Obligations.

 The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture are in addition to and not in substitution for
any other obligations to the Trustee or to any of the Holders in relation to this Indenture or the Notes and any guarantees or security at any time held by or for the benefit of any of them.

 (Reverse of Note) 
 5.750% Senior Notes due 2022 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 SECTION 1. Interest. DaVita
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.750% per annum from August 28, 2012 until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on
February 15 and August 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, commencing February 15, 2013. Interest on the Notes will accrue
from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a Record Date
referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, overdue premium, if any, and overdue installments of interest, without regard to any applicable grace periods, at the rate of 2.0% per annum in excess
of the interest rate otherwise applicable to the Notes from time to time. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 SECTION 2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1, as the case may
be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes
will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in U.S. Legal Tender. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes
will be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register
of Holders of Notes; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to Notes in global form registered in the name of or held by the Depository or its nominee shall be paid in immediately available funds
to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be. Until otherwise designated by the Company, the Company’s office or agency in New York will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose. 

SECTION 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the
Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

SECTION 4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of August 28, 2012, as amended or supplemented
(“Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
(15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note
conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

  
 A-4









 SECTION 5. Optional Redemption. Except as described in Section 6 hereof and in
Section 8 hereof, the Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option until August 15, 2017. On and after August 15, 2017, the Company may at its option redeem the Notes, in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than
30 or more than 60 days’ notice, at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed to the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed
during the twelve-month period beginning on August 15 of the years indicated below: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2017
	  	 	102.875	% 
	 2018
	  	 	101.917	% 
	 2019
	  	 	100.958	% 
	 2020 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 SECTION 6. From and after the Issue Date, prior to August 15, 2015, the Company may, at its option,
on any one or more occasions, upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days’ notice, redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes (including the original aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes) issued under the
Indenture with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof) of 105.750% plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date;
provided that 
  

	 	(1)	at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including the original aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes) issued under the
Indenture remains outstanding after each such redemption; and 

  

	 	(2)	the redemption date occurs within 90 days after the closing of such Equity Offering (for purposes of clarity, in the event that there are two or more closings for any
Equity Offering, then each such closing shall be deemed a separate “closing” for purposes of the foregoing provisions of this clause (2) with respect to the securities issued at such closing). 


In addition, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole or from time to time in part, at any time prior to August 15, 2017, at the
Company’s option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium on those Notes as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, on those Notes to, the applicable Redemption Date. 
 SECTION 7. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be
mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes may be redeemed in part only in integral multiples of $1,000 and the remaining
principal amount of any Note must not be less than $2,000. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

 SECTION 8. Special Mandatory Redemption. If (i) the Escrow Agent has not received the Officers’
Certificate pursuant to Section 4.20(b) of the Indenture on or prior to the Escrow End Date, or (ii) the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that the Company will not pursue the consummation of the Merger, then the Escrow Agent
shall, without the requirement of notice to or action by the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, release the Escrow Proceeds (including investment 

  
 A-5









 
earnings thereon and proceeds thereof) to the Trustee and the Trustee shall apply (or cause a Paying Agent to apply) such proceeds to redeem the Notes on the Business Day following the date of
the release of the Escrow Proceeds to the Trustee (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”) at a redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus
accrued and unpaid interest from the Issue Date or the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Notes, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. On the Special Mandatory
Redemption Date, the Trustee will pay to the Company any Escrow Proceeds in excess of the amount necessary to effect the Special Mandatory Redemption. 
 SECTION 9. Mandatory Redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, an offer to purchase pursuant to Section 10 hereof shall not be deemed a redemption. Except under the circumstances set forth in
Section 8 above, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 SECTION 10. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, and subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, each Holder will have the right to require the
Company to purchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000, provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note repurchased in part must not be less than $2,000) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the Change of Control Payment Date. 

SECTION 11. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000
and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or during a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Disposition Offer if such Note is validly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer or Asset Disposition Offer and not
validly withdrawn. Also, the Company and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on
the day of such mailing or register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part except the unredeemed portion of any Note redeemed in part. 

SECTION 12. Persons Deemed Owners. The Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

SECTION 13. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees may
be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences or compliance with any provision
hereof or thereof may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture, the
Notes and the Note Guarantees to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to certificated Notes, comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the
qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note. 

  
 A-6









 SECTION 14. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes generally may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency as set forth in the Indenture with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes
except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 

SECTION 15. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make restricted payments, to incur indebtedness, to create liens, to sell assets, to permit restrictions on dividends and certain other payments by Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, to consolidate,
merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets or to engage in transactions with affiliates. Certain of the restrictive covenants will not be applicable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during any period that the Notes receive an
Investment Grade Rating by both Rating Agencies and certain other conditions are satisfied. The covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such
covenants. 
 SECTION 16. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, partner
or member of, or owner of any equity interest in, the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 

SECTION 17. Note Guarantees. This Note will be entitled to the benefits of certain Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the
Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders. 

SECTION 18. Trustee Dealings with the Company. Subject to certain limitations specified in the TIA, the Trustee under the
Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee.

 SECTION 19. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or
an authenticating agent. 
 SECTION 20. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an
assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 

SECTION 21. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on
the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

 SECTION 22. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, as applied to contracts made and performed within the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
