 (a) General. The Notes and the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its
authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The terms and
provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and
provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend
thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the
“Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any
endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance
with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof. 
 (c) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures

	Section 2.02	Execution and Authentication.

Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the
time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.

of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

(an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the
aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.  

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate

Company. 
  

	Section 2.03	Registrar and Paying Agent. 

 The Company will maintain an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a
register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent”
includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the

and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it
will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

with the Securities Act. 
 (3) Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes. A Holder of
Unrestricted Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Unrestricted

ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST
HEREIN.” 
 (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global
Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with
Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or
for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such
reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an
endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes

(2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note
for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.11 and 9.04 hereof). 

  
 -46- 







 (3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of
any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

(4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive
Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(5) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required: 

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other
purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (7) The Trustee,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 

(8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 (9) Each Holder of a
Note agrees to indemnify the Company against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Note in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state
securities laws.

or not taken by the Depositary. 

  
 -47- 







 (11) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or
Indirect Participant or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the books or records, or the acts or omissions, of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or
with respect to the delivery to any Participant or Indirect Participant or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and
communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note).

Depositary with respect to its Participants or Indirect Participants.

examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
  

	Section 2.07	Replacement Notes. 

 If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or
the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the
Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any
authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
  

	Section 2.08	Outstanding Notes. 

 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this
Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of
the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof. 

  
 -48- 







 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, 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 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying
Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer
outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 
  

	Section 2.09	Treasury Notes. 

 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal
amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any
Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so
disregarded. 
  

	Section 2.10	Temporary Notes. 

 Until certificates representing Notes are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for
temporary Notes. 
 Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

 

	Section 2.11	Cancellation. 

 The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee
for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company. The Company
may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

  
 -49- 








	Section 2.12	Defaulted Interest. 

 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on
the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the
Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such
special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the
written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

(1) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; 

(2) the redemption date; 

(3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and 

(4) the redemption price. 
  

	Section 3.02	Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

procedures of DTC unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements. 
 In the event of partial redemption
or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not
previously called for redemption or purchase. 
 The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for
redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes 

  
 -50- 







 
held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for
redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 
  

	Section 3.03	Notice of Redemption. 

 At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a
redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail or delivered electronically a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed
or delivered electronically more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 hereof. 

The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state: 

(1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price; 

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the
redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 

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

(5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 

(6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to
accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which
the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee
will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting
that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

  
 -51- 








	Section 3.04	Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

 Once notice of redemption is mailed in
accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 

 

	Section 3.05	Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

 One Business Day prior to the
redemption or purchase date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or
the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be
redeemed or purchased. 
 If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase
date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any
accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase
because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on
such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
  

	Section 3.06	Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

 Upon surrender of a Note that is
redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased
portion of the Note surrendered.

or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

COVENANTS 
  

	Section 4.01	Payment of Notes. 

 The Company will 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. Principal, premium, if any,

and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by
the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. 

The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate

	Section 4.02	Maintenance of Office or Agency.  

 The Company will maintain an
office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such
required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered
for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for
such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with
Section 2.03 hereof. 
  

	Section 4.03	Reports.  

 Whether or not required by the Commission’s rules
and regulations, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Trustee, within 30 days after a large accelerated filer would be required to file such reports with the Commission under the Commission’s then existing rules
and regulations: 
 (1) annual reports of the Company containing substantially all of the information that would have been
required to be contained in an Annual Report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act if the Company had been a reporting company under the Exchange Act, including (A) “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” and (B) audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time;

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and (B) unaudited quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time and reviewed pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 100 (or any successor provision); and 
 (3) current reports containing substantially all of the information that
would have been required to be contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act 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 the Holders or the business, assets, operations, financial positions or prospects of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company be required by this Indenture to (A) comply with Section 302 or
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Commission, or Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K (with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein) and Regulation

 The Company’s reporting obligations with
respect to clauses (1) through (3) above will be satisfied in the event it timely files such reports with the Commission on EDGAR and such reports are publicly available. 

So long as any Notes are outstanding, if at any time the Company is not filing with the Commission the reports required by the preceding

equal to or greater than 1.66 to 1.00. 
 (b) For purposes of this Section 4.07, the aggregate amount of First Lien Debt outstanding as

(4) any accretion of original issue discount or the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of Indebtedness with
the same terms (it being understood that each will be taken into account in determining the aggregate amount of First Lien Debt outstanding as specified in Section 4.07(b)(1) hereof); 

(5) any incurrence of Indebtedness that constitutes First Lien Debt (A) resulting from the drawing of, or reimbursement

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any of the Guarantors may not incur (1) additional Indebtedness (other than Specified
Cash Management and Swap Obligations, other Cash Management Obligations that would constitute First Lien Debt, any First Lien Hedging Obligations and any extension, renewal or refinancing of the Eligible Commodity Hedge Financings existing on the
2017 Notes Issue Date) pursuant to Section 4.07(a) hereof, (2) any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to Indebtedness incurred under clauses (2), (3), (4) or (5) of Section 4.07(c) hereof or (3) any

title and (iii) there are no intervening liens or encumbrances which may then or thereafter take priority over the Lien of the applicable mortgage(s), in each case other than with respect to Permitted Liens; and 

(4) The Company or the applicable Guarantor will, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, deliver to the approved title
company, the Collateral Agent and/or all other relevant third parties all other items reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of the mortgages as security for the Notes.

is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders and (b) if a Guarantor is to be dissolved, such Guarantor
has no assets. 
  

	Section 4.11	Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event. 

 (a)

multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to but excluding

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.11 and that all Notes tendered will be
accepted for payment; 
 (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no

 -59- 







 (3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (5) that Holders
electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry
transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business

is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and 
 (7) 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 of $2,000. 

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to
the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this
Section 4.11, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.11 by virtue of such compliance. 

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

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes
properly tendered; and

Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 
 The
Paying Agent will promptly mail (but in any case not later than five days after the Change of Control Payment Date) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly, upon receipt
of an Authentication Order, authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new 

  
 -60- 







 
Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.11, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon
a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.11 hereof and purchases all Notes
properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. A Change
of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, with the obligation to pay and the timing of payment conditioned upon the consummation of the Change of Control, if a definitive agreement to effect a Change of Control
is in place at the time of the Change of Control Offer.

Counsel within 60 days thereof.

Section 4.15) as to which the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, does not have a perfected Lien, the Company and each applicable Grantor shall promptly:

Agreement shall cease for any reason to be valid (other than by its express terms) and, in the case of any provision of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement other than the Lien subordination provisions in favor of the Holders, the
result thereof is that the interests of the Holders are materially and adversely affected, or the Company or any Guarantor shall assert in writing that the Lien subordination provisions in favor of the Holders or any such other provision of the
Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement shall not for any reason be valid (other than by its express terms);

	Section 6.02	Acceleration. 

 In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause
(9) or (10) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration and its consequences, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or
decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

 

	Section 6.03	Other Remedies. 

 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

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

	Section 6.04	Waiver of Past Defaults. 

 Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default


  
 -68- 







 
or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default
shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

  

	Section 6.05	Control by Majority. 

 Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

 

	Section 6.06	Limitation on Suits. 

 Except to enforce the right to receive payment of
principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue
the remedy; 
 (3) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the
offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have
not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 
  

	Section 6.07	Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of
payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to
such Lien. 

  
 -69- 








	Section 6.08	Collection Suit by Trustee. 

 If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
  

	Section 6.09	Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

 The Trustee is authorized to file such
proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06
hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such
proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such
proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

 

	Section 6.10	Priorities. 

 If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this
Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for
amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

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 such party as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.10. 
  

	Section 6.11	Undertaking for Costs. 

 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and
the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This
Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

 TRUSTEE 

 

	Section 7.01	Duties of Trustee. 

 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is

correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of calculations or other facts stated therein). 

  
 -71-

 -72- 







 (f) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it
by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with
such request or direction. 
 (g) In no event shall the Trustee be required to take notice of any default or breach hereof or any Event of

breach, default or Event of Default and stating that said circumstances constitute an Event of Default. 
 (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 (including, without limitation, as Custodian, Registrar and Paying Agent), and each agent, custodian and

individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 
 (k) The Trustee shall
have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company with respect to the covenants contained in Article 4. 
 (l) Any permissive
right or authority granted to the Trustee shall not be construed as a mandatory duty.

prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change to its respective fiscal year. 
  

	Section 7.03	Individual Rights of Trustee. 

 The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting
interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.09 hereof. 

 

	Section 7.04	Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

 The Trustee will not be responsible for and
makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the 

  
 -73-

money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture

continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 

 

	Section 7.06	Compensation and Indemnity. 

 (a) The Company will pay to the Trustee from
time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee
promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 (b) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee against any and
all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the
Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision. The Trustee will notify the
Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim
and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its
consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

  
 -74- 







 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(9) or (10) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and
appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. 

(b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a

Bankruptcy Law;

Company.

hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders.

ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND
COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
  

	Section 8.01	Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

 The Company may
at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions
set forth below in this Article 8. 
  

	Section 8.02	Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

 (a) Upon the Company’s
exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been
discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance
means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for
the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the
Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if
any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 

  
 -76- 







 (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and
Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Article 8. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 (b) Upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with this Article 8, the
Trustee will advise the Collateral Agent that the Notes cease to constitute First Lien Debt under the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement. 

(c) The Liens securing the Notes will be released as provided under Section 10.03 hereof upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in
accordance with this Article 8. 
  

	Section 8.03	Covenant Defeasance. 

 Upon the Company’s exercise under
Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations
under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 4.15 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise
under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(8) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

federal income tax law,

the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to
federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 (6) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the
deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and

the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee,
in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due
and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

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

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request
of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

 

	Section 8.06	Repayment to Company. 

 Any money deposited with the Trustee
or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of
the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any
such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be
less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

  
 -79- 








	Section 8.07	Reinstatement. 

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to
apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or
8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent. 
 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
  

	Section 9.01	Without Consent of Holders. 

 Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of
this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees, and the Company and the Guarantors, together with the Collateral Agent, may amend or supplement the Security
Documents, without the consent of any Holder: 
 (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders in the case of a
merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s assets, as applicable; 

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect
the legal rights hereunder of any Holder; 
 (5) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the
“Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the Notes; 

(6) to enter into additional or supplemental Security Documents or provide for additional Collateral; 

(7) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by this Indenture or any of the Security
Documents or to release Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents; 

  
 -80- 







 (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this
Indenture of successor trustees pursuant to the requirements thereof; 
 (9) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental
indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto and/or a joinder to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; or 

(10) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes of the same or an additional series in accordance with the limitations set
forth in this Indenture as of the date hereof. 
 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any
amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended
or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 In addition, any release
of, or any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Document that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes will require the consent of Holders as and
only to the extent provided under Section 10.05 hereof. 
  

	Section 9.02	With Consent of Holders. 

 Except as provided below in this
Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without
limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any
existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or
compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional
Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will
join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise,
in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 

  
 -81- 







 It is not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders affected thereby
a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or
waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this
Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note; 

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

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Notes (except
a rescission of acceleration of such Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

(5) make any Note payable in currency other than that stated in such Note; 

(6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of such
Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes; 
 (7) alter any provisions with
respect to the redemption of the Notes or waive any redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 4.11 hereof); or 

(8) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions. 

 

	Section 9.03	Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

 Until an amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if
notation 

  
 -82- 







 
of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of
revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

 

	Section 9.04	Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

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

	Section 9.05	Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

 The Trustee will sign any amended
or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture
until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to
the documents required by Section 13.02 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amended or
supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Guarantor party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and complies with provisions hereof. 

ARTICLE 10 
 COLLATERAL AND
SECURITY 
  

	Section 10.01	Security Interest. 

 The due and punctual payment of the principal
of and interest, if any, on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest (to
the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and performance of all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, are secured as provided in
the Security Documents. Each Holder, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of the Collateral) as the same may be in
effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, as applicable, to enter into the Security Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights
thereunder in accordance therewith. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Company will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents,


  
 -83- 







 
and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Security Documents, to assure and confirm to the Trustee and
the Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and
of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Company will take, and will cause its Subsidiaries to take, upon request of the Trustee, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Security Documents
to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Company hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected first priority Lien in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders, superior to and
prior to the rights of all third Persons, except for Permitted Liens. 
  

	Section 10.02	Lien Sharing and Priority Confirmation. 

 Each Holder, by accepting
a Note, and the Trustee hereby agrees that: 
 (a) all First Lien Obligations will be and are secured equally and ratably by
all First Liens at any time granted by the Company or any other Grantor to secure any Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement) in respect of this Indenture, whether or not upon property otherwise constituting
collateral for such Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement) in respect of this Indenture and that all such First Liens will be enforceable by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of all holders of First Lien
Obligations equally and ratably; 
 (b) the Trustee and each of the Holders in respect of the Obligations (as defined in the
Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement) in respect of this Indenture are bound by the provisions of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, including without limitation (1) the provisions relating to the ranking of First Liens
and the order of application of proceeds from enforcement of First Liens and (2) the provisions of Section 8.22 thereof; and 

(c) that the Trustee and each of the Holders consent to and direct the Collateral Agent to perform the Collateral Agent’s
obligations under the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents. 
 The foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.02 are intended for the enforceable benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, all holders of each existing and future Series of First Lien Debt, each existing and future First Lien Representative, all
holders of each existing and future series of Second Lien Debt, each existing and future Second Lien Representative and the Collateral Agent. 
  

	Section 10.03	Release of Liens in Respect of Notes. 

 (a) In addition to and
subject to the terms of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral will no longer secure the Notes and the Note Guarantees or any other obligations under this Indenture, and the right of
the Holders to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Collateral will terminate and be discharged: 

(1) upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as set in Article 12 hereof; 

  
 -84- 







 (2) upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes as set forth in
Article 8 hereof; 
 (3) upon payment in full and discharge of all Notes outstanding under this Indenture and all Obligations
that are outstanding, due and payable under this Indenture at the time the Notes are paid in full and discharged; or 
 (4)
with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral, with the consent of the Holders of the requisite percentage of Notes in accordance with Section 9.02 hereof and upon delivery of instructions and any other documentation, in each case
as required by this Indenture, in a form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. 
 If the Collateral Agent is releasing Liens in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Document and if the Company has delivered the certificates and documents required by this Indenture and the Security Documents, then the Trustee will execute and deliver such additional documents
and instruments as the Company and the Guarantors may reasonably request to evidence such release without the further consent of the Holders. All actions taken pursuant to the provisions described in the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.03 will be at the sole cost and expense of the Company and the applicable Guarantor. 
  

	Section 10.04	Release of Note Guarantees. 

 For all purposes under the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement, each Holder by accepting a Note will be deemed to have consented to the release of the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor if the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that: 

(1) such Guarantor constitutes an Excluded Subsidiary and is not required to be a guarantor of the Notes pursuant to
Section 4.13; 
 (2) all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor have been sold or otherwise disposed of
(including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not the Company or a Guarantor; 
 (3) such Guarantor has
been liquidated or dissolved; or 
 (4) upon Legal Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in
Article 8 or Article 12, 
 provided that such Guarantor has previously been, or will concurrently be, released from its guarantee of
any other First Lien Debt. 
  

	Section 10.05	Amendment of Security Documents. 

 Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, if the Trustee is requested to vote or otherwise take action with respect to the Security Documents, the Trustee will vote or other-

  
 -85- 







 
wise act as directed by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding, except that: 

(1) any amendment or supplement that has the effect solely of adding or maintaining Collateral or preserving, perfecting or
establishing the priority of the Liens thereon or the rights of the Collateral Agent therein will not require a direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding and will become effective when
executed and delivered by the Company or any Guarantor party thereto and the Collateral Agent; 
 (2) any amendment or
supplement that has the effect solely of curing any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or making any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to Holders or the Collateral Agent or that does not adversely affect the legal rights
under this Indenture or any other Security Document of any Holder or the Collateral Agent, will not require a direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding and will, in each case, become
effective when executed and delivered by the Company and any Guarantor party thereto and the Collateral Agent; 
 (3) with
respect to any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Document that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes will require the consent of Holders of
at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding; 
 (4) no amendment or supplement that reduces, impairs
or adversely affects the right of any Holder: 
 (A) to vote its outstanding Notes as to any matter described as subject to
direction by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding, 
 (B) to share in the
order of application under Section 3.4 of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement in the proceeds of enforcement of or realization on any Collateral, or 

(C) to require that Liens securing the Notes be released only as set forth in Section 10.03, 

will become effective without the consent of the requisite percentage or number of Holders so affected under this Indenture and the Security
Documents and such additional consents as required pursuant to the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement; and 
 (5)
no amendment or supplement that imposes any obligation upon the Collateral Agent or adversely affects the rights of the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity as such will become effective without the consent of the Collateral Agent.

will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when: 
 (1) either:

caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such

date of maturity or redemption; 
 (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the
deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the

their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
  

	Section 12.02	Application of Trust Money. 

 Subject to the provisions of
Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with

 [Insert
the Global Note Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture] 
 [Insert the Private Placement Legend, if applicable pursuant to
the provisions of the Indenture] 
 Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below
unless otherwise indicated. 
 (1) INTEREST. Calpine Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to
pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.000% per annum from October 31, 2013 until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year (each, an “Interest
Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from
the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest
shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be July 15, 2014. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months. 
 (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons
who are registered Holders at the close of business on January 1 or July 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in
Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at the option of the Company,
payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and
interest, premium on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
 (3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wilmington
Trust, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such
capacity.

 (4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
October 31, 2013 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and
such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the
Company. The Notes are secured by a pledge of Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents referred to in the Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. 

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) On or after November 1, 2016, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to but excluding the applicable date of redemption, if
redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 1 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

 Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes
or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 (b) At any time prior to November 1, 2016, the
Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 106.000% of the principal
amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), with the net
cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Company; provided that: (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries)
remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and (ii) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 

(c) At any time prior to November 1, 2016, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less

which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Guarantor), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the
Indenture, if that default is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace period provided in such Indebtedness) (a “Payment Default”) or
results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and 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 $100,000,000 or more; provided that this clause (v)(a) shall not apply to Indebtedness that becomes due solely as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of property or assets to the
extent such sale or transfer is permitted by the terms of such Indebtedness; or (b) the Company and any Guarantor shall, with respect to Limited Recourse Debt in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $300,000,000, default in the observance
or performance of any agreement or condition relating to any such Limited Recourse Debt or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, and such Limited Recourse Debt shall as a result thereof become due prior

$50,000,000) created by any of the Security Documents shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby (other than, in each case, pursuant to a failure of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, any other
agent appointed by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders to take any action within the sole control of such Person) (it being understood that the release of Collateral from the Security Documents or the discharge of a Guarantor therefrom
shall not be construed (x) as any of the Security Documents ceasing to be in full force and effect or (y) as any of the Liens created thereunder ceasing to be enforceable or of the same priority and effect purported to be created thereby);
(vii) except as permitted by the Indenture or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases, for any reason, to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with its terms), or any
Significant Subsidiary that is a Guarantor denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations under its Note Guarantee; (viii) the Lien subordination provisions in favor of the Holders or any other provision of the Collateral Agency and
Intercreditor Agreement shall cease for any reason to be valid (other than by its express terms) and, in the case of any provision of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement other than the Lien subordination provisions in favor of the
Holders, the result thereof is that the interests of the Holders are materially and adversely affected, or the Company or any Guarantor shall assert in writing that the Lien subordination provisions in favor of the Holders or any such other
provision of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement shall not for any reason be valid (other than by its express terms); and (ix) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the Indenture with respect to the Company or
any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding
Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating
to the payment of principal or interest or premium, if any,) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf
of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on,
or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the
Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 
 (13) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual
or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

  
 A-7 







 (14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or
stockholder of the Company or any of the Guarantors, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by
reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS 
 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of
            , 20     , among
                     (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Calpine Corporation (or its permitted successor), a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”). 

W I T N E S S E T H 

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (as amended or supplemented from time to time,
the “Indenture”), dated as of October 31, 2013 providing for the issuance of 6.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”); 

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall agree to guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note
Guarantee”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and
deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows: 

1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to become subject to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement pursuant to
Section 4.13 of the Indenture. 
 3. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator,
stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver
may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

5. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of
them together represent the same agreement. 
 6. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not
affect the construction hereof. 
 7. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the
validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Company.
