 -14- 








 
Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”),
then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as
if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

Restricted Subsidiary has determined to make and/or has made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma
basis assuming that all such events (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of
such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, Asset Disposition, Asset Acquisition or
discontinued operation or operational change, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro
forma effect thereto for such period as if such event had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. 
 For

the reasonable good faith determination of the Company to reflect operating expense reductions and other operating improvements, synergies or cost savings for which the actions necessary to realize such reductions, improvements, synergies or cost
savings are taken or expected to begin to be taken no later than 12 months from such relevant pro forma event. The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer setting forth
such operating expense reductions and other operating improvements, synergies or cost savings and calculations and information supporting them in reasonable detail. 

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be
calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of
12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease
Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance
of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed
to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate.

money held by such Paying Agent to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent

(if other than the Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. If the Company or any of its

 -57- 








 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is
considered paid under Section 3.1 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding and interest on it shall cease to accrue. 
 Subject
to Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 

SECTION 2.10. 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, any Subsidiary of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer actually knows to be so owned shall be so considered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company until legal title to such Notes passes to the Company,
such Subsidiary or such Affiliate, as the case may be. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any known by the Company to be owned or held by
or for the account of any of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept and rely upon such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes
not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any determination. 
 SECTION 2.11. Temporary Notes. Until Definitive
Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that
the Company and the Trustee consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, 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. 

SECTION 2.12. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying
Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall
dispose of all canceled Notes in its customary manner (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.13. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series
in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 2.2, interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or 

  
 -58- 








 
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular Record
Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.4. 
 Any
interest on any Note which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular Record Date by virtue of having been
such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by such Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”)
shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: 

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names such Notes (or their
respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest
Payment Date”), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a record
date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by
the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of such Special Record Date and shall, or at the written request and in the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause
notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 11.1, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in
whose names such Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b). 

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (b), such manner of
payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

  
 -59- 








 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note delivered under this Indenture
upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 

SECTION 2.14. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if
then generally in use). The Trustee shall not be responsible for the use of CUSIP and ISIN numbers, and the Trustee makes no representation as to their correctness as printed on any Note or notice to Holders. The Company shall promptly notify the
Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers. 
 ARTICLE III 

Covenants 

SECTION 3.1. Payment of Notes. The Company shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in accordance
with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of
this Indenture. 
 The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Company may, to the extent it is required to do so by law, deduct or
withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from principal or interest payments hereunder. 

SECTION 3.2. Reports. 

(a) So long as any notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Trustee: 

(1) (A) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, beginning with the first fiscal year ending after the
Issue Date, annual audited financial statements for such fiscal year, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” with respect to the periods presented prepared in accordance
with GAAP and a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s independent registered accounting firm (all of the foregoing financial information to be prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the corresponding financial

the fiscal year then ended, in the form filed with such Insurance Regulatory Authority; 

  
 -60- 








 (2) (A) within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters
of each fiscal year of the Company (or 60 days with respect to the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013), beginning with such fiscal quarter ending after the Issue Date, unaudited financial statements for the interim
period as of, and for the period ending on, the end of such quarter, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” with respect to the periods presented prepared in accordance with
GAAP (all of the foregoing financial information to be prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the corresponding financial information included in the Offering Memorandum) and (B) with respect to any Insurance Subsidiary (other than
any Insurance Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary), beginning with the first fiscal quarter of such Insurance Subsidiary ending after the Issue Date, within 5 days following the date such form is filed with the Insurance Regulatory Authority of
such Insurance Subsidiary’s jurisdiction of legal domicile, a Quarterly Statement of such Insurance Subsidiary that is not itself a Subsidiary of an Insurance Subsidiary as of the end of such fiscal quarter and for the fiscal quarter then
ended, in the form filed with such Insurance Regulatory Authority; and 
 (3) within five days of the time period specified
for filing current reports on Form 8-K by the SEC, current reports containing information substantially similar to the information that would be required to be filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act on the Issue Date pursuant
to Sections 1 and 4, Items 2.01, 2.03, 5.01, 5.02(a)(1) (with respect to independent directors only), 5.02(b) (with respect to officers and independent directors only), 5.02(c)(1) and (3), 5.02 (d)(1 ), (2), (3) and (4) (in each case, with
respect to independent directors only) and 5.03(b) of Form 8-K (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, financial statements and exhibits that would be required pursuant to Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, other than financial statements and pro forma
financial information required pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of Item 9.01 of Form 8-K (in each case relating to transactions required to be reported pursuant to Item 2.01 of Form 8-K) to the extent available (as determined by
the Company in Good Faith)) if the Company had been a reporting company under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that no such current report will be required to be furnished if the Company determines in its good faith judgment that
such event is not material to Holders or the business, assets, operations, financial position or prospects of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or if the Company determines in its good faith judgment that such disclosure
would otherwise cause material competitive harm to the business, assets, operations, financial position or prospects of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided that such nondisclosure shall be limited only to
those specific provisions that would cause material competitive harm and not the occurrence of the event itself. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (a) the Company will not be required to furnish any information, certificates or reports required by (i) Section 302, Section 404 or Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related Items 307 or 308 of
Regulation S-K, (ii) Regulation G or Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC with respect to any non-generally 

  
 -61- 








 
accepted accounting principles financial measures contained therein, (iii) Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X or (iv) Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, (b) such reports will not be required to
contain the separate financial information for Guarantors or Subsidiaries whose securities are pledged to secure the Notes contemplated by Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X, and (c) such reports shall not be required to present
compensation or beneficial ownership information. 
 If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and
such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, either individually or collectively, would otherwise have been a Significant Subsidiary, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph shall include a summary presentation, in
the footnotes to the financial statements, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

The Company will be deemed to have satisfied the reporting requirements referred to above if the Company or any direct or indirect parent of
the Company (including Harbinger Group Inc.) has filed reports containing such information with the SEC. 
 In addition, the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors have agreed that they will make available to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon the request of such Holders, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to the
extent such Notes constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
 The Company shall maintain a
website to which all of the reports and press releases required by this Section 3.2 are posted and made available to Holders, prospective investors that certify that they are qualified institutional buyers (or Non-U.S. Persons or
Institutional Accredited Investors that are eligible to purchase the Notes), securities analysts and market makers (unless such reports are otherwise filed with the SEC). 

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 Officer’s Certificates). 
 The Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such
information, documents or reports have been posted on the Company’s website. 
 (b) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company
will also use its reasonable best efforts to: 
 (1) within 15 business days after providing the annual and quarterly
information required pursuant to clause (1) of Section 3.2(a) (or such earlier time as the Company determines), hold a conference call (the “Company Conference Call”) to discuss the results of operations for
the relevant reporting period; and 

  
 -62- 








 (2) issue a press release to an internationally recognized wire service no fewer
than three business days prior to the proposed date of the Company Conference Call, announcing the time and date of the Company Conference Call and either including all information necessary to access the call or directing Holders, prospective
investors that certify that they are qualified institutional buyers (or Non-U.S. Persons or Institutional Accredited Investors that are eligible to purchase the Notes), securities analysts and market makers to contact the appropriate person at the
Company to obtain such information. The Company Conference Call may be part of or separate from any earnings or similar conference call relating to the financial results of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as long as such call otherwise meets
the requirements of the foregoing clauses (1) and (2). 
 Notwithstanding the time periods set forth above, the Company
Conference Call may be held following any similar financial reporting call of any direct or indirect parent of the Company (including Harbinger Group Inc.) discussing the Company’s results of operations; provided that the failure of such
parent to a hold such a call shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to use reasonable best efforts to hold a Company Conference Call during the relevant reporting period (it being understood such a call and provision of a related press
release may occur after the time periods set forth above). 
 (c) In addition, if at any time any direct or indirect parent company of the
Company guarantees the Notes (there being no obligation of any such parent to do so), such entity holds no material assets other than cash, cash equivalents and the Capital Stock of the Company or any other direct or indirect parent of the Company
(and performs the related incidental activities associated with such ownership) and would comply with the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC (or any successor provision), the reports, information and other documents
required to be furnished to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.2 may, at the option of the Company, be furnished by and be those of such parent rather than the Company. 

(d) Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a failure to furnish or file in a timely manner a report required by this
Section 3.2 shall be deemed cured (and the Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 3.2) upon furnishing or filing such report or certification as contemplated by this Section 3.2 (but without
regard to the date on which such report or certification is so furnished or filed); provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the holders described pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof hereunder if the principal,
premium, if any, and accrued interest have been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure. 

SECTION 3.3. Limitation on Indebtedness. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including
Acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recently
ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal 

  
 -63- 








 
financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00 determined on a pro forma basis
(including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. 

(b) The provisions of Section 3.3(a) shall not apply to the Incurrence of the following Indebtedness: 

(i) Indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the Notes (other than Additional Notes) and Indebtedness of Subsidiary Guarantors
evidenced by the Subsidiary Guarantees relating to the Notes (other than Additional Notes); 
 (ii) Guarantees by
(x) the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor (including any Restricted Subsidiary the Company elects to cause to become a Subsidiary Guarantor in connection therewith) of Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred by the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, any such
guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee with respect to the Notes substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is
subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable and (y) Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries of Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

 (iii) 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, 

(A) if the Company is the obligor on Indebtedness owing to a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, such Indebtedness is expressly
subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Notes; 
 (B) if a Subsidiary
Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary is the obligee, such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Subsidiary Guarantees of such Subsidiary Guarantor; and 

(C) (1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event that results in any such Indebtedness being
beneficially held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and (2) any subsequent 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; 

(iv) any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in clause (i)) outstanding on the Issue Date, and any
Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in respect of any Indebtedness described under clause (i), this clause (iv) or clauses (v) or (xvii) or Incurred pursuant to Section 3.3(a); 

  
 -64- 








 (v) Indebtedness (i) of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors
Incurred to finance an acquisition of any assets (including Capital Stock), business or Person and (ii) of Persons Incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by, or merged or
consolidated with or into, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness Incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation); provided, however, that at the time such
Person is acquired by, or merged or consolidated with or into, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (v), either (x) the Company would have been
able to Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or (y) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately
prior to such acquisition, merger or consolidation; 
 (vi) Indebtedness under Hedging Obligations; provided,
however, that such Hedging Obligations are entered into to fix, manage or hedge interest rate or currency exposure of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and not for speculative purposes; 

(vii) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations,
mortgage financings or purchase money obligations), incurred for the purpose of financing or reimbursing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of the acquisition, development, construction, purchase, lease, repair, addition or improvement of
property (real or personal), plant, equipment or other fixed or capital assets that are used or useful in a Related Business, whether through the direct purchase of assets or the purchase of Equity Interests of any Person owning such assets (in each
case, incurred within 365 days of such acquisition, development, construction, purchase, lease, repair, addition or improvement) and all Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any such Indebtedness, in an aggregate principal amount
which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (vii), will not exceed $10.0 million at any one time outstanding; 

(viii) Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of workers’ compensation claims,
health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance, self-insurance obligations, performance, bid, surety, appeal and similar bonds and completion Guarantees (not for borrowed money) or security deposits,
letters of credit, banker’s guarantees or banker’s acceptances, in each case in the ordinary course of business (including letters of credit issued in connection with reinsurance transactions entered into in the ordinary course of
business); 
 (ix) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for
indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn-outs or similar obligations, in each case, Incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets of the Company or any business, assets or Capital


  
 -65- 








 
Stock of a Subsidiary, other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Capital Stock for the purpose of financing such
acquisition; 
 (x) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or
similar instrument, including, but not limited to, electronic transfers, wire transfers and commercial card payments drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business (except in the form of committed or uncommitted lines of
credit); provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within ten Business Days of Incurrence; 
 (xi)
Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with third party insurance premium financing arrangements; 

(xii) Indebtedness owed to banks and other financial institutions Incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries with such banks or financial institutions that arise in connection with ordinary banking arrangements to provide treasury services or to manage cash balances of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(xiii) guarantees to suppliers or licensors (other than guarantees of Indebtedness) in the ordinary course of business; 

(xiv) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to the extent that the Net Proceeds thereof are promptly
deposited to defease the Notes in accordance with Article VIII; 
 (xv) Indebtedness in connection with Permitted

(xvi) Non-Recourse Debt of Insurance Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business resulting from the sale or
securitization of non-admitted assets, policy loans, CBOs and CMOs; 
 (xvii) Any Contribution Debt; 

(xviii) Indebtedness of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with
the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (xviii) and then outstanding, will not exceed $25.0 million at any one time outstanding; and 

(xix) in addition to the items referred to in clauses (i) through (xviii) 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 (xix) and then outstanding, will not
exceed $50.0 million at any one time outstanding. 

  
 -66- 








 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any
particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 3.3: 
 (i) in the event that
Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 3.3(b) or could be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.3(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, may divide and classify such item
of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) on the date of Incurrence and may later reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 3.3 and only be required to include the amount
and type of such Indebtedness once; 
 (ii) Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit or banker’s
acceptances related thereto relating to, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included; 

(iii) 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 the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference
thereof; 
 (iv) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 3.3 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 3.3 permitting such Indebtedness; and 

(v) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of
the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value or the
amortization of debt discount, 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 shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of
Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 3.3. 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 or the aggregate
principal amount outstanding in the case of Indebtedness issued with interest payable-in-kind, (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of
any other Indebtedness, (iii) in the case of the guarantee by a specified Person of Indebtedness of another Person, the maximum liability to which the specified Person may be subject upon the occurrence of the contingency giving rise to the
obligation and (iv) in the case of Indebtedness of others guaranteed solely by means of a Lien on any asset or property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (and not to their other assets or properties generally), the lesser of
(x) the Fair Market Value of such asset or property on the date on which such Indebtedness is Incurred and (y) the amount of the Indebtedness so secured. 

  
 -67- 








 (d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the
Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the
case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause
the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so
long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced plus the amount of any reasonable premium (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs and any
reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company may Incur pursuant to this
Section 3.3 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 Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such Refinancing. 

SECTION 3.4. Limitation on Restricted Payments. 

(a) Unless the Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio as of the last day of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which
internal financial statements are available that immediately precedes the date of any Restricted Payment, calculated immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment and any related transactions on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less
than 17.5%, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to: 

(i) 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) other than: 

(A) dividends or distributions payable solely in Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or in options,
warrants or other rights to purchase such Capital Stock of the Company; and 
 (B) dividends or distributions by a Restricted
Subsidiary payable to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary (and if such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, to its other holders of any series or class of Capital Stock on a pro rata basis in respect of such series or
class or on a basis that results in the receipt by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of dividends or distributions of a greater value than it would receive on a pro rata basis); 

  
 -68- 








 (ii) purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any Capital Stock of

 -74- 








 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.4, in the event that a
proposed Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in clauses (i) through (xix) of Section 3.4(b), or is entitled to be made pursuant to
Section 3.4(a), the Company shall be entitled to divide and classify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) on the date of its payment in any manner that complies with this Section 3.4. 

If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary makes a Restricted Investment or a Permitted Investment and the Person in which such Investment
was made subsequently becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent such Investment resulted in a reduction of the amounts calculated under Section 3.4(a) or any other provision of this Section 3.4 or the definition of
Permitted Investment (which was not subsequently reversed), then such amount shall be increased by the amount of such reduction to the extent of the lesser of (x) the amount of such Investment and (y) the Fair Market Value of such
Investment at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (d) The Company shall not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to
become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”. For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the definition of “Investment”. Such designation shall
be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

SECTION 3.5. Limitation on Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to create, incur,
assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, that secures Indebtedness of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries without effectively providing that the Notes are secured equally and ratably with (or, if the Indebtedness to be secured by the Lien is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, prior to) the
Indebtedness so secured for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured. 
 With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted
to secure such Indebtedness at the time such Indebtedness was Incurred, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the
amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of
dividends on preferred stock in the form of additional shares of preferred stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of
fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (vii) of the definition of “Indebtedness.”

 SECTION 3.6. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted
Subsidiaries. 
 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to create or otherwise cause or permit to
exist any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (i) pay
dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits (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); 

(ii) 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 

(iii) sell, lease or 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 (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.6(a)). 

(b) The restrictions in Section 3.6(a) shall not prohibit encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 

(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 and the Subsidiary Guarantees in effect on such date; 
 (ii) any encumbrance or
restriction with respect to a Person or assets pursuant to an agreement in effect on or before the date on which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by, merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
(other than Capital Stock or Indebtedness Incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Person became a
Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by, merged into or consolidated with the Company or in contemplation of the transaction) or such assets were acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that any such encumbrance or
restriction shall not extend to any Person or the assets or property of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary other than the Person and its Subsidiaries or the assets and property so acquired and that, in the case of Indebtedness, was
permitted to be Incurred pursuant to this Indenture; 

  
 -76- 








 (iii) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a
Refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.6(b) or this clause (iii) or contained in any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal,
supplement, refunding, replacement or Refinancing of an agreement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.6(b) or this clause (iii); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions
with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such agreement are no less favorable (as determined in Good Faith by the Company) in any material respect, 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 Section 3.6(b) on the Issue Date or the date such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged into or
consolidated with a Restricted Subsidiary, whichever is applicable;

(ix) encumbrances or restrictions arising or existing by reason of applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation, order,
permit or grant, including for the avoidance of doubt, any encumbrance or restriction on any Insurance Subsidiary by any governmental authority having the power to regulate such Insurance Subsidiary; 

(x) encumbrances or restrictions contained in or arising under indentures or debt instruments or other debt arrangements
Incurred or Preferred Stock issued by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof that are not more restrictive, taken as a whole (as determined in Good Faith by the Company), than
those applicable to the Company in this Indenture on the Issue Date; 
 (xi) encumbrances or restrictions contained in or
arising under indentures or other debt instruments or other debt arrangements Incurred or Preferred Stock issued by the Company or any Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 3.3

hereof or contained or arising in connection with any Reinsurance Agreement or Statutory Reserve Financing or agreement entered into by an Insurance Subsidiary or Special Purpose Subsidiary;
provided that such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument will not materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes or are otherwise
customary for financings or arrangements of that type (in each case, as determined in Good Faith by the Company); 
 (xii)
restrictions or conditions contained in any trading, netting, operating, construction, service, supply, purchase or other agreement to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party and entered into in the ordinary course of
business; provided that such agreement prohibits the encumbrance of solely the property or assets of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary that are the subject of such agreement, the payment rights arising thereunder or the proceeds
thereof and does not extend to any other asset or property of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or the assets or property of any other Restricted Subsidiary. 

(xiii) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements; 

(xiv) customary provisions contained in leases, licenses and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of
business; and 
 (xv) any instrument governing any Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person that is an Unrestricted
Subsidiary as in effect on the date that such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person who became a Restricted
Subsidiary or the property or assets of the Person who became a Restricted Subsidiary, and was not entered into in contemplation of the designation of such Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that in the case of Indebtedness, the
incurrence of such Indebtedness as a result of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary was permitted by the terms of this Indenture. 

SECTION 3.7. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. 

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Disposition following the Issue Date
unless: 
 (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at least equal to
the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined as of the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) of the assets subject to such Asset Disposition; and 

(ii) 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. 

  
 -78- 








 The Company shall determine the Fair Market Value of any consideration from such Asset Disposition that is not
cash or Cash Equivalents. 
 (b) Any Net Available Cash received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from any Asset Disposition
shall be applied at the Company’s election: 
  

	 	(x)	to prepay, repay or repurchase secured Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or to prepay, repay or repurchase any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which is not
expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Subsidiary Guarantees, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving
credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 

  

	 	(y)	to repay, prepay or repurchase Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, or 

  

	 	(z)	to reinvest in or acquire assets (including Capital Stock or other securities purchased in connection with the acquisition of Capital Stock or property of another Person that is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company or that would constitute a Permitted Investment under clause (2) of the definition thereof) used or useful in a Related Business. 


(c) All Net Available Cash that is not applied or invested (or committed pursuant to a written agreement to be applied or invested) as
provided in subclauses (x), (y) or (z) of the preceding paragraph within 365 days after receipt (or in the case of any amount committed to be so applied or reinvested, which are not actually so applied or reinvested
within 180 days following such 365 day period) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Within 30 days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company will make an offer (“Asset
Disposition Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to
purchase with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase the maximum principal amount of the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may make an
Asset Disposition Offer under this section using Net Available Cash prior to the time any such Net Available Cash becomes Excess Proceeds, in which case such Net Available Cash shall be deemed to have been applied within the time frame required by
this Section 3.7. The offer price in any Asset Disposition Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of
purchase (subject to the rights of Holders of record on any record date to receive payments of interest on the related Interest Payment Date), and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Disposition
Offer (“Unutilized Excess Proceeds”), the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate 

  
 -79- 








 
principal amount of the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Disposition Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and such other pari passu
Indebtedness shall be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

 (d) The Asset Disposition Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that
a longer period is required by applicable law (the “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 shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.7 (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount
has been so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes validly tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer. 
 (e) On or
before the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes or portions of Notes 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 validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, in each case in minimum denominations
of $1,000 (except that no Note shall be purchased in part if the remaining principal amount would be less than $2,000). The Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall 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 an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such holder and accepted by the Company for
purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall 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 shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder
thereof. 
 (f) For the purposes of this Section 3.7, the following are deemed to be Cash Equivalents: (x) any liabilities
(as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the Notes thereto) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the

million unless: 
 (i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction, when viewed together with any related Affiliate Transactions,

described under paragraph 6 of the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture and all conditions precedent applicable to such redemption have been satisfied, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (in
integral multiples of $1,000 except that no Note may be tendered in part if the remaining principal amount would 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, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 

(b) Prior to or within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the
Notes under paragraph 6 of the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall mail a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder or otherwise give notice in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC,
with a copy to the Trustee, stating: 
 (i) that a Change of Control Offer is being made and that all Notes properly tendered
pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for purchase by the Company at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase

name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is unconditionally withdrawing its election to have such Notes purchased; 

(vii) If such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control is
conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and 
 (viii) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in
part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

(c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

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 integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

(e) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the

under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) a notice of redemption for all of the outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to this Indenture unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to, but excluding, the proposed Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive
agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer. 
 (f) The Company shall comply, to the
extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations thereunder in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions
of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by
virtue of such compliance. 
 SECTION 3.10. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. 

(a) The Company shall cause (i) each Wholly Owned Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) that is formed or acquired following
the Issue Date and (ii) any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that guarantees any Capital Market Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture to this Indenture,
substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall fully and unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest in respect of the Notes and all other obligations under this Indenture, on the terms set forth in Article X. In addition, the Company may cause any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor so to guarantee payment of
the Notes and become a Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 SECTION 3.11. Effectiveness of Covenants. 

(a) After the Issue Date, following the first day: (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies; and
(ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture; the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10 and 4.1(a)(iv)
(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). Additionally, upon the commencement of a Suspension Period (as defined below), the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. 

  
 -86- 








 (b) If at any time the Notes’ credit rating is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by
any Rating Agency, then the Suspended Covenants shall thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in
connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in
which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist or
have occurred under this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring
during the Suspension Period (as defined below), or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reinstatement Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the
applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period”. 

(c) On the Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue
Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 3.3(b)(iv). In addition, for purposes of Section 3.8 hereof, all agreements and arrangements entered into by the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary with an
Affiliate of the Company during the Suspension Period prior to such Reinstatement Date will be deemed to have been entered into on or prior to the Issue Date and for purposes of Section 3.6 hereof all contracts entered into during the
Suspension Period prior to such Reinstatement Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant will be deemed to have been existing on the Issue Date. Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to
be made as Restricted Payments under Section 3.4 hereof will be made as though such Section 3.4 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the
Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under such Section 3.4 to the extent such Restricted Payments were not otherwise permitted to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through
(xix) of Section 3.4(b) hereof; provided that the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments on the Reinstatement Date pursuant to the first paragraph shall not be reduced below zero solely as a result of such
Restricted Payments made during a Suspension Period. 
 (d) During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, the Board of
Directors of the Company may not designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture, unless such designation would have complied with Section 3.4 hereof as if such
Section 3.4 would have been in effect during such period. 
 (e) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate notifying the Trustee of any Reinstatement Date or the commencement of any Suspension Period and certifying that such suspension or reinstatement complied with the foregoing provisions, and in no event shall the Trustee be charged with
the knowledge of such Suspension Period or Reinstatement Date, except to the extent that a Trust Officer has received such Officer’s Certificate. In the case of a Suspension Period such notice shall list the Suspended Covenants. 

  
 -87- 








 SECTION 3.12. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within
120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (commencing with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013) an Officer’s Certificate signed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal
accounting officer stating whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is
taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 3.13. Statement by Officers as to Default. The Company shall deliver
to the Trustee, within 30 days after the knowledge thereof if such event is still continuing, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Event of Default or any event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would
constitute an Event of Default under Section 6.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (viii) or (ix), which shall include their status and what action the Company is taking or proposing to take in
respect thereof.

 (d) Solely

accordance therewith at such time), to the extent applicable. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may

to such Note shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the Holder shall receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, 

(e) that on the Redemption Date the redemption price (and accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date
payable as provided in Section 5.7) shall become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, that interest on Notes called for redemption
(or the portion thereof) shall cease to accrue on and after said date, 
 (f) the place or places where such Notes are to be

in such notice or printed on the Notes, and 
 (j) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes are to be

 SECTION 5.6. Deposit of Redemption Price. By no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date,

of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts

 SECTION 5.7. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given

accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to
receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered, provided that each such new Note shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

ARTICLE VI 
 Defaults and
Remedies 
 SECTION 6.1. Events of Default. 

(a) Each of the following is an event of default (an “Event of Default”): 

(i) default in any payment of interest on any Note when the same becomes due, and the such default continues for a period of 30
days; 
 (ii) default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any Note when the same becomes due at its Stated
Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; 
 (iii) failure
by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 3.9 hereof or Article IV hereof; 
 (iv)
failure by the Company to comply for 60 days after written notice as provided below with any of its obligations under the Notes or this Indenture (except as contained in clauses (a)(i) through (a)(iii) of this Section 6.1);

 (v) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries defaults under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which
there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the 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 now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, which default: 

(A) is caused by a failure to pay principal on such Indebtedness at its final stated maturity within the grace period provided
in the agreements or instruments governing such Indebtedness (“payment default”); or 
 (B) results in the
acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated final maturity; 
 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 $25.0 million or more (or its foreign currency equivalent); 

  
 -94- 








 (vi) the Company or a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries
that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (as
defined below): 
 (A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding with respect to itself; 

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding; 

(C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian (as defined below) of it or for substantially all of its property; or 

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating
to insolvency; 
 (vii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(A) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together
(as of the date of the latest audited financial statements for the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in an involuntary case; 

(B) appoints a Custodian of the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together
(as of the date of the latest audited financial statements for the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, for any substantial part of its property; or 

(C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that,
taken together (as of the date of the latest audited financial statements for the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; 

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for any period of 60 consecutive days; 

(viii) failure by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the
date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final and non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of $25.0 million (or its
foreign currency equivalent) (net of any amounts that are covered by insurance), which judgments remain unsatisfied or undischarged for any period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgments shall not be in effect;
and

Subsidiaries that taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as
contemplated by the terms of this Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantees) 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 (as
of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or its Subsidiary Guarantee,
and the Company fails to cause such Restricted Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to rescind such denials or disaffirmations within 30 days. 

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under clause (iv) of this Section 6.1(a) shall not constitute an Event of
Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified in clause (iv) of this
Section 6.1(a) after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” 

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors.
The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 

SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(vi) or
(vii) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture as contemplated by Section 2.2, the Trustee by notice in writing
specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice” to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then 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, if any, shall,
subject to Section 6.4, be immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default set forth in Section 6.1(a)(v) above has occurred and is continuing, unless
otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture as contemplated by Section 2.2, such declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the default
triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(v) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 30 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 

  
 -96- 








 
(2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest, if any, on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or
waived. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(vi) or (vii) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture
as contemplated by Section 2.2, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any Holders. 
 SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any
available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture (including sums owed to the Trustee and its agents and counsel) and the Subsidiary
Guarantees. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is
exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past
Defaults. Unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture as contemplated by Section 2.2, the Holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding (including without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes) Notes by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences (except a Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium or interest on a Note) and 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, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. 

SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. Unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental
Indenture as contemplated by Section 2.2, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee
or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, or, subject to Sections 7.1 and
7.2, that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses caused by
taking or not taking such action. 

  
 -97- 








 SECTION 6.6. 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: 

(i) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made a written request to the Trustee
to pursue the remedy; 
 (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the
Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (iv) the Trustee has not complied with the request within 60 days after
receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 
 A Holder
may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (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 Holders). 
 SECTION 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(i) or
(ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent
lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.6. 
 SECTION 6.9. 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 reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its
agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders
in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel,


  
 -98- 








 
and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, either agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.6 hereof out of the estate in any proceeding shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holder may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan or 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 Holder in such proceeding. 
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. The Trustee shall pay out
any money or property received by it in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee for amounts due to each of them under this Indenture;

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

Third: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee receives any amount for any Subsidiary Guarantor, to such Subsidiary
Guarantor, or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 

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 does not apply to a
suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

 ARTICLE VII 

Trustee 
 SECTION 7.1.
Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise 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 circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs; provided that if an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders
have offered the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion, as applicable, against loss, liability or expense. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee under this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable. 

However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, as the case may be (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own grossly
negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this paragraph
does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer or Trust Officers unless it is proved in a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5; and 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received
by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. 

  
 -100- 








 (e) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law. 
 (f) No provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (g) Every provision of this Indenture
relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

(h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee, security, prefunding or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities that
might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or any other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or
both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or
attorney appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it
believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct, respectively, does not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final and non-appealable decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel
with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under the
Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

  
 -101- 








 (f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into any statement, warranty or
representation, or the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or other paper or document made or in connection with this Indenture; moreover, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into (i) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (ii) the occurrence of any default, or the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Indenture or any other agreement, instrument or document or (iii) the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note other evidence of indebtedness 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 fit, and, if the
Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any
kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default
except any Default or Event of Default of which a Trust Officer shall have (x) received written notification from the Company or Holders at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture or
(y) obtained “actual knowledge.” “Actual knowledge” shall mean the actual fact or statement of knowing by a Trust Officer without independent investigation with respect thereto. 

(h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder. 
 (j) The Trustee may request
that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 

(k) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties. 

(l) The Company shall provide prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change to its fiscal year. 

SECTION 7.3. 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, the Subsidiary Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.
However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.9. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Company; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest the Trustee
must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest, (ii) apply to the SEC for permission to continue acting as Trustee or (iii) resign. 

  
 -102- 








 SECTION 7.4. Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the Notes or the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any
statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication or for the use or application of any funds received by any
Paying Agent other than the Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to
the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder, notice of the Default within 90 days after the Trustee obtains such knowledge. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may
withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if the Trustee determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. 

SECTION 7.6. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services
as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. 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
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable
costs of counsel, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company shall
indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including Paying Agent, and Registrar), and each of their officers, directors, employees, counsel and agents, against any and all loss, liability or expense
(including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, including
the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.6), the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or otherwise). The Trustee
shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. 

The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
such counsel. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith as determined in a final and non-appealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The right of the Trustee to receive payment of any amounts due under
this Section 7.6 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company. 

  
 -103- 








 The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section and any lien arising hereunder
shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(vi) or (vii) with respect to the
Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Pursuant to
Section 10.1, the obligations of the Company hereunder are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 The
obligation of the Company under this Section 7.6 shall survive satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

SECTION 7.7. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9; 

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders do not
reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon 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. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.6. 

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

  
 -104- 








 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9, unless the Trustee’s duty to
resign is stayed, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Company’s obligations under
Section 7.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.8. Successor Trustee by Merger. If
the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any
further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to
the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and
deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 

SECTION 7.9. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set
forth in its most recent filed annual report of condition. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance 

SECTION 8.1. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. 

(a) When (i) (x) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and
Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (y) all
outstanding Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of making a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof or otherwise, or will become due and payable within one
year or may be called for redemption within one year under arrangements pursuant to Article V and the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit
of the Holders in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Notes not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to, but excluding, the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be; (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit or shall 

  
 -105- 








 
occur as a result of such deposit (other than a default resulting from borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing); (iii) the Company
or any Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Company on the date of deposit to the Trustee under this Indenture; and (iv) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this
Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.1(c), cease to be of further effect. 

(b) Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2, the Company at any time may at its option terminate (i) all of the Company’s obligations
under the Notes and this Indenture and have each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligation discharged with respect to its Guarantee (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 and the operation of Section 4.1(a)(iii) and (a)(iv) and Sections 6.1(a)(iii) (other than with respect to any Default under Section 3.12 or 3.13), 6.1(a)(iv), 6.1(a)(v),
6.1(a)(vi) (only with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited financial statements of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries), 6.1(a)(vii) (only with respect to
Significant Subsidiaries or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited financial statements of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries) and 6.1(a)(viii) (“covenant defeasance option”).
The Company may exercise their legal defeasance option notwithstanding their prior exercise of their covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Company terminates all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to such
Notes) by exercising their legal defeasance option or their covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee of such Notes shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations. 

If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the
Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(iii) (only with respect to the covenants subject to such covenant defeasance),
6.1(a)(iv), 6.1(a)(v), 6.1(a)(vi) (only with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited financial statements of the Company and its consolidated
Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(a)(vii) (only with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or a group of consolidated Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited financial statements of the Company
and its consolidated Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(a)(viii) or 6.1(a)(ix) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 4.1(a)(iii) or (iv). 

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 8.1(a) and (b), the Company’s
obligations in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.10, 2.11, 2.13, 3.1, 6.7, 6.8, 7.1, 7.2, 7.6, 7.7, 8.1(b) (with respect to legal
defeasance), 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 6.7, 7.6, 8.4 and 8.5 shall survive. 

  
 -106- 








 SECTION 8.2. Conditions to Defeasance. The Company may exercise its legal defeasance
option or its covenant defeasance option only if: 
 (i) the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust,
for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of U.S. dollars and U.S. Government Obligations, in such amounts as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants in the event a deposit of U.S. Government Obligations is made, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes issued hereunder 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; 

(ii) in the case of legal defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee stating that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change
in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of
such legal defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such legal defeasance had not occurred; 

(iii) in the case of covenant defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee stating that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the respective outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and
shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; 

(iv) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event
of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings); 

(v) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company
with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and 
 (vi) the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the legal defeasance or
the covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with. 

  
 -107- 








 SECTION 8.3. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or
U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes. 
 SECTION 8.4. Repayment to Company. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII which are in excess of the amount thereof
which would then be required to be deposited to effect legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable. 
 Subject to any applicable
abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders
entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors. 
 SECTION 8.5. Indemnity for U.S. Government
Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government
Obligations. 
 SECTION 8.6. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII 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 obligations
of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors have made any payment of interest on or
principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE IX 

Amendments

without notice to or consent of any Holder: 
 (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency; 

(ii) to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor
under the Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees; 

  
 -108- 








 (iii) to provide for or facilitate the issuance of uncertificated Notes in
addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 
 (iv) to comply with the rules of any applicable depositary; 

(v) to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes or to release a Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary
Guarantee or this Indenture in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (vi) to secure the Notes and
the Subsidiary Guarantees; 
 (vii) to add to the covenants of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or Events of
Default for the benefit of the Holders or to make changes that would provide additional rights to the Holders, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor; 

(viii) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect; 

(ix) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, as
amended, if applicable; 
 (x) to provide for the appointment of a successor trustee; provided that the successor
trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture; 
 (xi) to conform the text of
this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum or, with respect to any Additional Notes and any supplemental indenture or other instrument
pursuant to which such Additional Notes are issued, to such “Description of notes” relating to the issuance of such Additional Notes solely to the extent that such “Description of notes” provides for terms of such Additional
Notes that differ from the terms of the Initial Notes; or 
 (xii) to provide for or confirm the issuance of Additional Notes
in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 
 After an amendment or supplement under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall
mail to Holders, or in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an
amendment or supplement under this Section. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Note shall not be rendered invalid by such tender. 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and
upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.2 and 11.2 hereof, the Trustee shall join 

  
 -109- 








 
with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture, but the Trustee shall not be
obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders. This Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with
the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Any past default or
compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained
in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes); provided that (x) if any such amendment or waiver will only affect one series of Notes (or less than all series of Notes) then outstanding under the
Indenture, then only the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for,
Notes) shall be required and (y) if any such amendment or waiver by its terms will affect a series of Notes in a manner different and materially adverse relative to the manner such amendment or waiver affects other series of Notes, then the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) shall be
required. However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, no amendment, supplement or waiver may: 

(i) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment; 

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

(iii) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note; 

(iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes issued
hereunder (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes issued hereunder by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to a nonpayment default and a waiver of the payment default
that resulted from such acceleration); 
 (v) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption or repurchase of any Note or
change the time at which any Note may be redeemed or repurchased in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof or Article V hereof, whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants or otherwise; 

(vi) make any Note payable in a currency other than that stated in the Note; 

  
 -110- 








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

(viii) release any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken
together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or this
Indenture, except in compliance with the terms thereof; or 
 (ix) make any change in the amendment provisions in this
Section 9.2 as described in clauses (i) through (viii) above. 
 It shall not be necessary for the
consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this
Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Note shall not be rendered invalid by such tender. 
 Upon
the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.2 and 11.2 hereof, the
Trustee shall join with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that
may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

After an amendment or supplement under the Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required to mail to the Holders, or in accordance with
the Applicable Procedures, a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment or supplement. 

SECTION 9.3. Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment, supplement or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind
the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. After an amendment or waiver becomes
effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver made pursuant to Section 9.2 shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents. 

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or
take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding 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 give such consent or revoke such consent or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. 

  
 -111- 








 SECTION 9.4. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a
Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so
determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue, and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note
shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 
 SECTION 9.5. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any
amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not, in the sole determination of the Trustee, adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article IX, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by or complies with this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will
be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture pursuant to Exhibit E hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, no Officer’s Certificate shall be required on the Issue
Date for the execution of any Note Supplemental Indenture. 
 ARTICLE X 

Subsidiary Guarantee 

SECTION 10.1. Subsidiary Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Article X, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Subsidiary Guarantor, to each Holder of the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the Trustee the full and punctual
payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes (including, without
limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or
post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding and the obligations under Section 7.6) (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guarantor Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees (to the
extent lawful) that the Guarantor Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any
Guarantor Obligation. 

  
 -112- 








 Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) presentation to, demand of, payment from
and protest to the Company of any of the Guarantor Obligations and also waives (to the extent lawful) notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) notice of any default under the Notes or the Guarantor
Obligations. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due
(and not a Guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guarantor Obligations. 

Except as set forth in Section 4.2, Section 10.2 and Article VIII hereof, the obligations of each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise,
and shall not (to the extent lawful) be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guarantor Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not (to the extent lawful) be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce
any right or remedy against the Company or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of
the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder for the Guarantor Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy
against any other Subsidiary Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Company; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guarantor Obligations; or (h) any other act or thing or
omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the
Guarantor Obligations or such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Subsidiary Guarantee in compliance with Section 4.2, Section 10.2 or Article VIII hereof. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its
Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing
and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guarantor Obligations when and as the same shall become due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee or the Trustee on
behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing and 

  
 -113- 








 
(ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in
bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding). 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand,
(x) the maturity of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Subsidiary Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees
to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section. 

Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Subsidiary Guarantee or any
release, termination or discharge thereof and any such notation shall not be a condition to the validity of any Subsidiary Guarantee. 

SECTION 10.2. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge. 

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be
limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor
in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee
not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

(b) A Subsidiary Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and each Subsidiary
Guarantor and its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture shall be released and discharged: 
 (i) upon
any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor following which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a direct or indirect Restricted Subsidiary of the Company if such sale or disposition
does not constitute an Asset Disposition or is made in compliance with Section 3.7 and Article IV hereof); 

  
 -114- 








 (ii) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is dissolved or liquidated in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (iii) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of the
Indebtedness that resulted in the creation of such Subsidiary Guarantee, except a discharge or release as a result of payment under such guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement
is still a release, and if any such Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor under such guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated); 

(iv) upon exercise of the Company’s legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option or upon satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, in each case, pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII hereof; and 
 (v) if the
Company designates such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation complies with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture. 

(c) In the case of Section 10.2(b)(i) only, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 

(d) The release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee and its obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 10.2 shall not preclude the future applications of Section 3.10 hereof to such Person. 

SECTION 10.3. Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor
shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Company or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and

written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes); provided that
(x) if any such amendment or waiver will only affect one series of Notes (or less than all series of Notes) then outstanding under the Indenture, then only the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series
then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) shall be required and (y) if any such amendment or waiver by its terms will affect a series of

Indenture and the Notes, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (v) certain accelerations (including failure to pay within any grace period after final maturity) of other Indebtedness for money borrowed of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds $25.0 million (or its foreign currency equivalent); (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or group of

the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines in good faith
that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries under the
Notes, the Indenture or the Subsidiary Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release shall be
part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees.

prior to the Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to [    ]36; provided, however, that if the period from the Redemption Date to [    ]37 is not equal to the constant
