 18 








 
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for

incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the
applicable four-quarter period. 
 For purposes of making the computation referred to above, (i) Investments, acquisitions,
dispositions, mergers, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) that have been made by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such
reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers,

if the rate in effect on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation
shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of
making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable
period except as set forth in the first paragraph of this definition. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based 

  
 19 








 
upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments is delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or the holding by any Person of
a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04. 

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute proof of the authority of the Person executing the same. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 (c)
The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 
 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 (e)
Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which
may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have
the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part. 
 (f) Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, a Holder, including DTC, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken
by Holders, and DTC may provide its proxy to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices. 

  
 45 








 (g) The Issuer may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the identity of Holders

appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their
duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record
date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date. 

ARTICLE II 
 THE NOTES 

SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating; Terms. 

(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issued initially in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. 
 (b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form
of Exhibit A (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form shall 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 shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be
specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto and each shall provide that it shall represent up to the aggregate principal amount of 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 applicable, 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 shall 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) Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this
Indenture is unlimited. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this
Indenture and the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the
express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

  
 46 








 The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuer pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer as
provided in Section 4.10 hereof or a Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 4.14 hereof. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article III hereof. 

Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Issuer without
notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Initial Notes; provided that the Issuer’s
ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Issuer’s compliance with Section 4.09 hereof. Any Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture supplemental to this Indenture. 

SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication. At least one Officer of the Issuer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the applicable
Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer of the Issuer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time
the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 
 On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer’s Order (an
“Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall upon an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes for an aggregate
principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued or increased hereunder. 
 In authenticating such
Additional Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall receive, and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon: 

(a) A copy of the resolution or resolutions of the board of directors in or pursuant to which the terms and form of the Notes
were established, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer to have been duly adopted by the board of directors and to be in full force and effect as of the date of such certificate, and if the terms and form of such Notes
are established by an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to general authorization of the board of directors, such Officer’s Certificate; 

(b) an executed supplemental indenture, if any; 

(c) an Officers’ Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 12.02; and 

  
 47 








 (d) an Opinion of Counsel which shall state: 

(1) that the form of such Notes has been established by a supplemental indenture or by or pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors
in accordance with Section 2.01 and in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2) that the terms of such Notes have been
established in accordance with Section 2.01 and in conformity with the other provisions of this Indenture; 
 (3) that such Notes, when
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with
their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and 

(4) that all conditions precedent in respect of the execution and delivery by the Issuer of such Notes have been complied with. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes
whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer. 

SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note
Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of the Note for all purposes. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term
“Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agents. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or
Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent,
the Trustee shall, to the extent that it is capable, act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes
representing the Notes. 
 The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar for the Notes. 

SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in
writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the 

  
 48 








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

SECTION 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request
in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes. 

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.06, a Global Note may be transferred, in
whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor thereto or a nominee of such successor thereto. A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be exchanged for a Definitive Note unless (A) the Depositary
(x) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed
by the Issuer within 120 days, (B) the Issuer, at its option, notify the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes or (C) upon the request of a Holder if there shall have occurred and be continuing a
Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (A) above, Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names,
and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures). Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof.
Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a
Global Note, except for Definitive Notes issued subsequent to any of the preceding events in (A), (B) or (C) above and pursuant to Section 2.06(c) hereof. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in
this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof. 

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global
Notes shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those
set forth

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and
exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(i) hereof, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant
given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged

 (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 cancelled in whole and
not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled 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 shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement
shall 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 shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall 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. 

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global
Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

(ii) No service charge shall 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 Issuer 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 2.07, 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.05 hereof). 
 (iii)
The Issuer shall not 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 or (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date with respect to such Note and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note.


  
 59 








 (iv) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to register the
transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

(v) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive
Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, 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. 

(vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer 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 premium, if any) and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee,
any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (vii) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement
Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 (viii) At the option of the
Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes
are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.02 hereof. 
 SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar
or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note
if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and
any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note. 

Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 

  
 60 








 SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes
authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this
Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor holds the Note. 

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 (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code). 

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 Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor) holds, on a Redemption
Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 

SECTION 2.09. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or a Guarantor or by any Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be
protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the
pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or a Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuer or a
Guarantor. 
 SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may
prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for
temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or
beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may
deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the
Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the
Exchange Act). Certification of the cancellation of all surrendered Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer upon the written request of the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or that have been delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation. 

  
 61 








 SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on
the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer may pay the
defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall 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, and at
the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the
date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record
date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of any such special record date. At least
15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall deliver or cause to be delivered, to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a
notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon
registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP/ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers (in each case, if then generally
in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
numbers. The Issuer will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers. 

SECTION 2.14. Calculation of Principal Amount of Securities. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of
determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the
Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented by (b) the aggregate principal
amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this
Section 2.14 shall be made by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

 ARTICLE III 

REDEMPTION 
 SECTION 3.01.
Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least two Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be delivered to Holders pursuant to
Section 3.03 hereof but not more than 60 days before the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer setting forth (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section
of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. 

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall
select the Notes to be redeemed by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, provided, that if the Notes are represented by one or more global notes, beneficial interests in such notes will be selected for redemption by DTC
in accordance with its standard procedures therefor. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in
writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder
are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed. 
 The Trustee shall have no
responsibility for calculating or determining the redemption price. 
 SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. Subject to
Section 3.09 hereof, the Issuer shall deliver electronically or cause to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, notices of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be
redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with Applicable Procedures, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article
VIII or Article XI hereof. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date; 
 (b)
the redemption price; 

  
 63 








 (c) if any Definitive Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of
that Note that is 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 of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not
redeemed will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note; 
 (d) the name and address of the
Paying Agent; 
 (e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 

(f) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after
the Redemption Date; 
 (g) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called
for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (h) the CUSIP and ISIN number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed and that no representation
is made as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP and ISIN number that is listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 

(i) any condition to such redemption. 

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided
that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least two Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be delivered to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an
Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

If any Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the exchange of any such redemption
and, if applicable, of the principal amount of any Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of Notes. 
 Notice of any redemption,
whether in connection with an Equity Offering or otherwise, may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not
limited to, if in connection with an Equity Offering, completion of the Equity Offering. 
 SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of
Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption price. The notice, if delivered in a manner
herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to deliver such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole
or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.


  
 64 








 SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

(a) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer, upon receipt of written instruction from the Issuer,
any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 

(b) If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph (a), on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to
accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be
paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the Redemption Date 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 in Part. Upon surrender of a Definitive Note that is redeemed in part,
the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not
redeemed; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. 

SECTION 3.07. Optional Redemption. 

(a) At any time prior to April 1, 2018 the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon notice in accordance with Section 3.03
hereof, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the

interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds

3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 
 The Notes shall not be redeemed, except in accordance with this Section 3.07.

 (v) that any Holder electing to have less than all of the
aggregate principal amount of its Notes purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in an amount not less than $2,000; 

(vi) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note,

Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 

(viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by the holders thereof exceeds
the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the Issuer shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal

(ix) that Holders whose certificated Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to
the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer) representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased.

 67 








 
promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) such new Note to such Holder (it
being understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer is required for the Trustee to authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note) in a principal amount
equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer shall publicly announce
the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.

case determined at the date of incurrence or issuance). 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09:

described in clauses (1) through (26) of Section 4.09(b) hereof or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will classify and may subsequently reclassify such item of
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the above clauses or under
Section 4.09(a) hereof as determined by the Issuer at such time; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities on the Issue Date will, at all times, be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under clause
(1) of Section 4.09(b) hereof and the Issuer shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities outstanding on the Issue Date; and 

(2) at the time of incurrence, the Issuer will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of
the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.09(a) and Section 4.09(b) hereof, subject to clause (1) above. 

  
 88 








 Accrual of interest or dividends, accrual of premiums, fees and expenses, the accretion of
accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class, accretion or
amortization of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies, will, in each case, not be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness, or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09. 
 In the event that the
Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary intends to incur Indebtedness under a revolving credit commitment in compliance with a financial ratio or other financial test, the Issuer may elect to test compliance with such ratio or test on the date such
revolving credit commitment is established after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of the entire committed amount of Indebtedness thereunder, in which case such committed amount under such revolving credit commitment may
thereafter be borrowed and reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with such ratio or test. 
 For
purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of Disqualified Stock, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock denominated in a
foreign currency shall be calculated by the Issuer based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S.
dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred or Disqualified Stock is issued to refinance other Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, as applicable, denominated in a foreign currency,
and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be
deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock does not exceed (i) the principal amount of such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, as applicable, being refinanced plus
(ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums (including tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such refinancing. 

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred or Disqualified Stock issued to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different
currency from the Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, as applicable, being refinanced, shall be calculated by the Issuer based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock is
denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown
on a balance sheet of the Issuer dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Issuer
shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is contractually subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor,
as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly 

  
 89 








 
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or
such Guarantor, as the case may be. For the purposes of this Indenture, (i) Indebtedness that is unsecured shall not be deemed to be subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured, (ii) Indebtedness shall not
be deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness merely because it is issued or guaranteed by other obligors and (iii) secured Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other secured Indebtedness
merely because it has a junior priority lien with respect to the same collateral. 
 SECTION 4.10. Asset Sales. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate directly or indirectly an Asset Sale, unless:

 (1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at
least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and 
 (2) except in the case of a
Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75.0% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of: 

(A) any liabilities (as shown on Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the
footnotes thereto) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that (i) are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or (ii) that are otherwise cancelled or
terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee (other than intercompany debt owed to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries) and, in each case, for which the Issuer and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly
released by all applicable creditors in writing; 
 (B) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the
Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale;

 (C) (i) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary in connection
with the sale or contribution of assets by the Issuer or a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary to a joint venture with a Strategic Investor, provided, however, that (x) any such Designated Non-cash Consideration that is converted into
Cash Equivalents shall be treated as Net Proceeds in the manner set forth below and (y) in the event such Designated Non-cash Consideration is other than in the form of Indebtedness, such Designated Non-cash Consideration shall be deemed to
have been acquired and consequently reduce amounts available under one of clause (13), (22) or (26) of the definition 

  
 90 








 
of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Issuer, and (ii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale
having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $65.0 million and (y) 4.0%
of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in
value; and 
 (D) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such
asset disposition (other than intercompany debt owed to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries), to the extent that the Issuer and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee or other obligation of payment of the principal
amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale, 
 shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other
purpose. 
 (b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its
option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, 
 (1) to permanently reduce: 

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

(B) Obligations under Secured Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer
or a Restricted Subsidiary) that is secured by a Lien, which Lien is permitted by this Indenture, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 

(C) Obligations under other Senior Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto),
provided that the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 3.07 hereof or through open- market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100.0% of the principal amount
thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 and Section 4.10(c) hereof) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid
interest, if any, on the amount of Notes to be repurchased, to the date of repurchase; or 
 (D) Indebtedness of a Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary; 

  
 91 








 (2) to make (a) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided
that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary or Qualified Holding Company, or results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of
the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary or a Qualified Holding Company, (b) capital expenditures or (c) acquisitions of other assets, in the case of each of (a), (b) and (c), used or useful
in a Similar Business; or 
 (3) to make (a) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such
Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary or Qualified Holding Company, or results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the
Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary or a Qualified Holding Company, (b) acquisitions of properties or (c) acquisitions of other assets that, in each of (a), (b) and (c), replace the
businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; 
 provided that, in the case of clauses (2) and
(3) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation
that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event that any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason
before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds. 
 (c) Any Net
Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.10(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described
in clause (1)(C) of Section 4.10(b) hereof, will be deemed to have been so applied whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$50.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, at the option of the Issuer or if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the
holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000, or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or,
in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Indenture. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within fifteen Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $50.0 million by mailing or electronically delivering the notice required pursuant to the
terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with
respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 450 days (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $50.0 million or less. 

  
 92 








 To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or
the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered in an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described under Section 3.02 hereof and the Issuer shall select such Pari
Passu Indebtedness to be purchased pursuant to the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness; provided that as between the Notes and any Pari Passu Indebtedness, such purchases will be made on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or
principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered with adjustments as necessary so that no Notes or Pari Passu Indebtedness will be repurchased in part in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale
Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion). 

(d) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.10, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net
Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility, including under the Senior Credit Facilities, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 

(e) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder
to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this
Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 

SECTION 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance
or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, unless: 

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

(2) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions
involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $25.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying
that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 4.11(a). 

  
 93 








 (b) The provisions of Section 4.11(a) will not apply to the following: 

(1) transactions between or among the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or an entity that becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary as a result of such transaction, and any merger or consolidation of the Issuer; provided that such merger or consolidation of the Issuer is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and effected for a bona fide
business purpose; 
 (2) (A) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.07 hereof and (B) Investments constituting
“Permitted Investments”; 
 (3) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and compensation paid to, and

Investment Affiliates or Immediate Family Members) of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (4) transactions
in which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial
point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an
unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; 
 (5) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer, any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any agreement or arrangement as in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto or replacement thereof (so long as any such amendment or replacement is not materially
disadvantageous in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Issuer to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date); 

(6) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms
of, any subscription, purchase registration rights or stockholders agreement, partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements or arrangements which it may enter into
thereafter; provided that the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or arrangement or under any similar agreement or
arrangement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (6) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement or arrangement are not otherwise materially disadvantageous in the good faith judgment
of the board of directors of the Issuer to the Holders when taken as a whole (as compared to the original agreement or arrangement in effect on the Issue Date); 

  
 94 








 (7) the Refinancing Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses related
to the Refinancing Transactions, in each case as contemplated by the Offering Memorandum; 
 (8) transactions with customers,
clients, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services that are Affiliates, or transactions otherwise relating to the purchase or sale of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of
business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are fair to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the board of directors of the Issuer or the senior management thereof, or are on
terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 
 (9) the
issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to any Person or any contribution to the capital of the Issuer; 

(10) sales of accounts receivable, or participations therein, or Securitization Assets or related assets in connection with any

the proposed or outstanding issue amount of such class of securities; 

  
 95

(15) payments by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries pursuant to tax sharing agreements among the Issuer and its Subsidiaries;
provided that in each case the amount of such payments in any fiscal year does not exceed the amount that the Issuer, its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent of amount received from Unrestricted
Subsidiaries) would be required to pay in respect of foreign, federal, state and local taxes for such taxable year were the Issuer, its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent described above) to pay such taxes

covenant set forth in this Indenture. 
 SECTION 4.12. Liens. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness or any related Guarantee, on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any income or
profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless: 
 (1) in the case of Liens securing
Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and 

(2) in all other cases, the Notes or the Guarantees are equally and ratably secured, except that the foregoing shall not apply
to or restrict (A) Liens securing obligations in respect of the Notes and the related Guarantees, (B) Liens securing 

  
 96 








 
obligations in respect of Indebtedness incurred under any Credit Facilities that was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred pursuant to clause (1) of Section 4.09(b)

permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09 hereof; provided that with respect to Liens securing obligations in respect of Indebtedness permitted under this subclause (c), at the time of incurrence (or, in the case of Indebtedness
under revolving credit commitments, on the date such commitments are established after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of the entire committed amount of Indebtedness thereunder, in which case such committed amount under such
commitments may thereafter be borrowed and reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with this subclause) and after giving pro forma effect thereto and the application of the net proceeds therefrom,
the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio would be no greater than 3.50 to 1.00. 
 Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to
this Section 4.12 shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.12. 

The expansion of Liens by virtue of accretion or amortization of original issue discount (excluding accretion or amortization that is
expressly provided for in the agreement providing for the applicable Indebtedness that is a zero coupon or similar discount yield instrument) and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange
rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Liens for purposes of this Section 4.12. 
 SECTION 4.13. Company
Existence. Subject to Article V hereof, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its company existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its
other Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Issuer or any such other Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses
and franchises of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if
the Issuer in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

SECTION 4.14. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or
concurrently electronically delivered or mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described
below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
repurchase, subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any such Change of
Control, the Issuer will deliver notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail, 

  
 97 








 
with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures with the following
information: 
 (1) that a Change of Control has occurred or will occur (together with the identification of the transaction
or transactions that constitute such Change of Control) and that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by
the Issuer; 
 (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days
from the date such notice is mailed or otherwise delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 
 (3)
that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 
 (4) that unless the Issuer
defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such
Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered
Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes, provided that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a
telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes
purchased; 
 (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will
be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to at least $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; 

(8) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is
conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and 
 (9) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer,
consistent with this Section 4.14, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased. 

  
 98 








 The notice, if delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether
or not the Holder receives such notice. If (a) the notice is delivered in a manner herein provided and (b) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive
such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes by the Issuer pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Indenture by virtue thereof. 
 (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by law, 

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

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or
portions thereof so tendered; and 
 (3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so
accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer. 

(c) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of
Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such
Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of
Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer 
 (d) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.14, any
purchase pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 hereof, and references therein to “redeem,” “redemption” and similar words shall be deemed to refer to
“purchase,” “repurchase” and similar words, as applicable. 

  
 99 








 SECTION 4.15. Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries.
The Issuer will not permit any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any
Guarantor), other than a Guarantor, a Foreign Subsidiary or a Securitization Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Guarantor unless: 

(1) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of
which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the
same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes; and 
 (2) such Restricted Subsidiary waives, and shall not in
any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other applicable rights against Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted
Subsidiary under its Guarantee; 
 provided that Section 4.15 hereof shall not be applicable to (i) any guarantee of any
Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) guarantees of any Qualified
Securitization Facility by any Securitization Subsidiary. The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Restricted Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a Guarantor, in which case such Restricted
Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the 30-day period described in clause (1) above.
 SECTION 4.16. Distributions
by Qualified Restricted Subsidiaries  
 Except to the extent restricted pursuant to any Permitted Payment Restrictions or Permitted
Qualified Company Payment Restrictions, the Issuer shall, and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, cause each Qualified Restricted Subsidiary (that is not a Guarantor) to declare and pay regular monthly, quarterly or semiannual dividends or
distributions to the holders of its Capital Stock in an amount equal to substantially all of the available cash flow of such Restricted Subsidiary for such period as determined in good faith by the board of directors, board of governors or such
other individuals performing similar functions, subject to such ordinary and customary reserves and other amounts as, in the good faith judgment of such individuals, may be necessary so that the business of such Restricted Subsidiary may be properly
and advantageously conducted at all times. 
 If, at any time, any Restricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the requirements set forth in
the definition of “Qualified Restricted Subsidiary,” it will thereafter cease to be a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the Issuer will be in default of such covenant. The board of directors
of the Issuer may at any time designate any Restricted Subsidiary not to be a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by such Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding
Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in


  
 100 








 
existence following such designation. In the event (a) a Restricted Subsidiary fails to meet the requirements to be a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary or (b) the board of directors of
the Issuer designates a Qualified Restricted Subsidiary not to be a Restricted Subsidiary, then all Investments in such Subsidiary since the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been acquired and consequently reduce the amount available for Restricted
Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or the amount available for Restricted Investments under one of clause (8), (13), (22) or (26) of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Issuer. 

SECTION 4.17. Suspension of Covenants. 

(a) During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has
occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event” and the date thereof being
referred to as the “Suspension Date”) then, Section 4.07 hereof, Section 4.08 hereof, Section 4.09 hereof, Section 4.10 hereof, Section 4.11 hereof, Section 4.15 hereof, Section 4.16 hereof and
clause (4) of Section 5.01(a) hereof shall not be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 

(b) During any Suspension Period, the Issuer may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the second
sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” 
 (c) In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are
not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade
Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events.
The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this Section 4.17 as the “Suspension Period.” The Guarantees of the Guarantors will be suspended during the Suspension Period but will be
reinstated on the Reversion Date. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be reset to zero. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries during a Suspension Period will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that (i) with respect to Restricted Payments made after such reinstatement, the
amount available to be made as Restricted Payments will be calculated as though Section 4.07 hereof had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period; and (ii) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued,
during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (3) of Section 4.09(b) hereof; provided, that all Indebtedness outstanding on the Reversion Date under the Senior Credit Facilities
shall be deemed incurred or issued pursuant to clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) hereof (up to the maximum amount of such Indebtedness that would be permitted to be incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to
Indebtedness incurred prior to the Suspension 

  
 101 








 
Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date); (iii) any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall
be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (5) of Section 4.11(b) hereof; (iv) any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to take any action described in clauses
(1) through (3) of Section 4.08(a) that becomes effective during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (1) of Section 4.08(b) hereof; and (v) no Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be
required to comply with Section 4.15 hereof after such reinstatement with respect to any guarantee entered into by such Subsidiary during any Suspension Period. On and after each Reversion Date, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries will be permitted
to consummate the transactions contemplated by any contract entered into during the Suspension Period, so long as such contract and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period. 

(e) The Issuer shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer notifying it of any event set forth under
this Section 4.17.

 ARTICLE VI 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. 

An “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of
Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 

(1) default in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or premium, if any,
on the Notes; 

  
 104 








 (2) default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on or with
respect to the Notes; 
 (3) failure by the Issuer or any Guarantor for 60 days after receipt of written notice given by the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (with a copy to the Trustee) to comply with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements (other than a default referred to in clause (1) or
(2) of this Section 6.01) contained in this Indenture or the Notes; 
 (4) default under any mortgage, indenture or
instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if both: 

(A) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after
giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such
Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and 
 (B) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with
the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $35.0 million or
more at any one time outstanding; 
 (5) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Issuer made available to the Holders) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $35.0 million (net of
amounts covered by insurance policies issued by reputable insurance companies), which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged, unwaived and unstayed for a period of more than 90 days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such
judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed; 

  
 105 








 (6) the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or
any group of Subsidiaries that taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Issuer made available to the Holders) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

 (iii) consents to the appointment of a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of it or for all or substantially all of its property; 

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 

(v) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; 

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

(i) is for relief against the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries
that, taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Issuer made available to the Holders), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), in a proceeding in which the Issuer or any such Subsidiary, that is a Significant
Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Issuer made available to the Holders), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Issuer made available to
the Holders), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary); or 
 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Issuer made available to the Holders), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary); 

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

  
 106 








 (8) the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Issuer made available to the Holders) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared
null and void in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or any responsible officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the responsible officers of any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken
together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Issuer made available to the Holders) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), as the case may be, denies in writing that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or
gives written notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture. 

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of
Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30.0% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer (and the Trustee, if
given by Holders) may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. 

Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal of and premium, if any, and interest shall be due and payable immediately. The
Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if in the best judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the best interests of the Holders of the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under
clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable without further action or notice. 

The Holders of 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 rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if such rescission would not conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment
of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01 hereof, such Event of Default and all consequences
thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of
Default arose: 
 (1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or 

(2) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event
of Default; or 
 (3) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured or is no longer continuing. 


  
 107 








 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay
or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 6.02 hereof,
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder (except a continuing
Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note held by a non-consenting Holder or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without
the consent of all affected Holders) (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this
Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to
this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of
Default is continuing; 
 (2) Holders of at least 30.0% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested in
writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) Holders of the Notes 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
principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request within such 60-day period. 

  
 108 








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

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) 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 Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on
overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel. 
 SECTION 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as
though no such proceeding has been instituted. 
 SECTION 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

SECTION 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right
or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

SECTION 6.12. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of


  
 109 








 
the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and
empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 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 6.13. Priorities. If the Trustee or any Agent collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money
in the following order: 
 (i) to the Trustee, such Agent, their 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 or such Agent and the costs and expenses of collection; 

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

(iii) to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including a Guarantor, if applicable.

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.13. 

SECTION 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit
by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.01.
Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

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

(i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall 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
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(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, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(j) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 (k) The permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture shall
not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein. 
 (l) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (m) the Trustee may request that the Issuer
and Guarantors deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer 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 or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall 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 Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not
be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall 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 other than its certificate of authentication. 

  
 113 








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

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
deliver to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of
any continuing Default 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 of the Notes. 

SECTION 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its
acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall 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 shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of
the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and its
officers, directors, employees, agents and any predecessor trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including this
Section 7.06) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or any Guarantor, or liability in connective with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee
shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have
separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct
or negligence. 
 The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this
Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(6) or (7) 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. 

  
 114 








 SECTION 7.07. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and
appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby
created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 

(A) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof; 

(B) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law; 
 (C) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(D) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. 

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

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.09
hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06
hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.06 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

SECTION 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

  
 115 








 SECTION 7.09. Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee
hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authorities and that has, together with its parent, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE
AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option
and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors with respect to the Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

 SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding
Notes and Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture
including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: 
 (A) the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 

(B) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes,
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 

(C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s obligations in connection
therewith; and 
 (D) this Section 8.02. 

  
 116 








 Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuer may exercise their option under this Section 8.02
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 SECTION 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the
Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from
their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, and 4.16 hereof and clauses (4) and (5) of Section 5.01(a), Sections 5.01(c) and 5.01(d) hereof with
respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes
of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood
that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall
have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to
any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and
Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) (solely with respect to the covenants that are released upon a Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries (or any group of Subsidiaries that taken
together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Issuer made available to the Holders) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary)), 6.01(7) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries (or any group of Subsidiaries that taken
together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Issuer made available to the Holders) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary)) and 6.01(8) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 

SECTION 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes: 
 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with
respect to the Notes: 
 (1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders
of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities with the scheduled payments of principal of and interest thereon in an amount, or a combination thereof in such amounts, as will be sufficient without
consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank or appraisal firm, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes to the stated
maturity date or to the Redemption Date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date. 

  
 117 








 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, 

(A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 

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

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders
of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the
Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal
income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and
simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
the Senior Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of
funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 

(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and
subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code; 

  
 118 








 (7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and 

(8) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of
Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, contained in this Indenture have been
complied with. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel required by clause (2) of this Section 8.04 need not be
delivered if all of the Notes not theretofor delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer. 

SECTION 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to
Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to
Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver
or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 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(a) 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 Issuer. Subject to any applicable abandoned property law,
any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if
any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its written request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment
thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 

  
 119 








 SECTION 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any
United States dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 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 Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees shall 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 that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE IX 
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT
AND WAIVER 
 SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuer, any
Guarantor (if affected by the amendment or supplement) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and any Guarantee or Notes without the consent of any Holder: 

(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; 

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

(3) to comply with Section 5.01 hereof; 

(4) to provide the assumption of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders; 

(5) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not materially
adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 
 (6) to add covenants for the benefit of the
Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor; 
 (7) to comply with requirements of
the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable; 

(8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee hereunder pursuant
to the requirements hereof; 

  
 120 








 (9) to add a Guarantor under this Indenture or release a Guarantor in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (10) to conform the text of this Indenture, Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of
the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in such “Description of Notes” section was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, Guarantee or Notes;

 (11) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as
permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; or 

(12) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 

The consent of the Holders is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if
such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of the board of
directors of the Issuer 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 shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the
execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall have the right, but not be
obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel shall not be required in connection with the
addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture (other than as required by Section 4.15 hereof) upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as
Exhibit D hereto. 
 SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. Except as provided below in this
Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes,
if any) then outstanding voting as a single class (including 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 Guarantees or the Notes may be waived or modified with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or 

  
 121 








 
exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), other than, in each case, Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates. Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall
determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the
Issuer accompanied by a resolution of the board of directors of the Issuer authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the
Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer 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 shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or
supplemental indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall deliver to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to deliver
such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. 

Without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes
held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (1) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter
or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Note (other than provisions relating to Section 3.09, Section 4.10 and Section 4.14 hereof); provided that any amendment to the minimum notice requirement may be
made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes; 
 (3) reduce the
rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; 
 (4) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or
premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or
in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all affected Holders; 

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

  
 122 








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

(7) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions that is materially adverse to the Holders; 

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

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

(10) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify any Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary in any manner
materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes. 
 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 of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver,
supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any
amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to
such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date
unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained. 
 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 Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new
Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the
validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall
sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. 


  
 123 








 
The Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the board of directors of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.02 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in
accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as required by Section 4.15 hereof, an Opinion of Counsel will not
be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 9.06.
Payment for Consent. Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any
consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to all Holders and is paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in
solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 
 SECTION 9.07. Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of
Principal Amount. All Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class and no series of Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate series on
any matter. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article IX and Section 2.14 hereof. 

ARTICLE X 
 GUARANTEES 

SECTION 10.01. Guarantee. Subject to this Article X, each of the Guarantors, as primary obligors and not merely sureties, hereby,
jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally, guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this
Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes, fees, expenses and indemnification or otherwise shall be promptly paid in full when due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall
be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay
the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

  
 124 








 The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective
of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any
judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment,
filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged
except by full payment of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

 Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations
guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed
hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of
this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor as a result of a payment by the Guarantors in an amount equal to such nonpaying Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the
respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees. 

Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for
liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on
the Notes or Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 

  
 125 








 In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 The Guarantee issued by
any Guarantor shall be a general unsecured senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any. 

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any
kind or nature. 
 SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each
Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor
shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to
receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article X, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other
Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 

SECTION 10.03. Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby
agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President, one of its Vice Presidents or one of its Assistant Vice Presidents. 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no
longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any
Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 

If required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Issuer shall cause any newly created or acquired or other Restricted Subsidiary to comply with
the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article X, to the extent applicable. 

  
 126 








 SECTION 10.04. Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of
Holders of Notes against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled
to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 

SECTION 10.05. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the
financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

SECTION 10.06. Release of Guarantees. Each Guarantee by a Guarantor will provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged upon: 
 (1) (A) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger or otherwise)
of (i) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, in each case if such sale, exchange, disposition or
transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture and the Guarantor is released from its guarantee, if any, of, and all pledges and security, if any, granted in connection with, the Senior Credit Facilities; 

(B) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities, or the
release or discharge of such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement
is still a release, and that if any such guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof); 

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

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

  
 127 








 ARTICLE XI 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

SECTION 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all
Notes, when either: 
 (1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which
have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has heretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(2) (A) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the
making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the
name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars in an
amount, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities with the scheduled payments of principal of and interest thereon in an amount, or a combination thereof, in such amounts, as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of
interest in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank or appraisal firm (which opinion need be given only if such Government Securities have been deposited) to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

(B) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit or any similar and
simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such
deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a
party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound; 
 (C) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by
it under this Indenture; and 
 (D) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited
money toward the payment of the Notes to the stated maturity date or to the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 

  
 128 








 In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to
the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (A) of clause (2) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive. 

SECTION 11.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 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 Issuer or a
Guarantor 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 the Trustee; but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held
by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 [Back of Note] 

6.00% Senior Note due 2023 

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 

1. INTEREST. Surgical Care Affiliates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Note at a rate per annum set forth below from March 17, 2015 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest on this Note semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2015,
or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The Issuer will make each interest payment to the Holder of record of this Note at the close of business on the
immediately preceding March 15 and September 15 (whether or not a Business Day) (each, a “Record Date”). Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including March 17, 2015. The Issuer 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 the rate then applicable to this Note; it shall 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 rate then applicable to this Note. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Interest on
this Note will accrue at the rate of 6.00% per annum. 
 2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on this Note to the Person
who is the registered Holder of this Note at the close of business on the Record Date (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if this Note is cancelled 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. Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Note Register of Holders, provided
that [all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders
thereof]3 [all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if
such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the
Trustee may accept in its discretion)]4. Such payment shall 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 	Applicable if this Note is represented by a Global Note registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee on the relevant record date. 


	4 	Applicable if this Note is represented by certificated notes. 


  
 A-5 








 3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the
Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

4. INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Notes under a Senior Notes Indenture, dated as of March 17, 2015 (the “Indenture”),
among Surgical Care Affiliates, Inc., the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer designated as their Senior Notes due 2023. The Issuer shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes
pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 4.09 of the Indenture. The Notes issued under the Indenture shall be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture, unless otherwise specified in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated
in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms and Holders are referred to the Indenture 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

2015, providing for the issuance of an unlimited aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Notes due 2023 (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 unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein and under the Indenture (the
“Guarantee”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and

(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 as follows: 

(a) Along with all other Guarantors named in the Indenture (including pursuant to any supplemental indentures), as a primary obligor and not
merely as a surety, to jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and
enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (i) the
principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes, fees, expenses and indemnification or otherwise shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue

whatever reason, the Guarantors and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

(b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the
Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer or any other Guarantor, any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. 
 (c)

and all demands whatsoever. 
 (d) This Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in the Notes,
the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations applicable to a Guarantor under the Indenture, including Article X of the Indenture (which is deemed incorporated in this Supplemental Indenture and
applicable to this Guarantee). The Guaranteeing Subsidiary acknowledges that by executing this Supplemental Indenture, it will become a Guarantor under the Indenture and subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to Guarantors contained
therein. 
 (e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors (including the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary), or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

 (h) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying
Guarantor as a result of a payment by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in an amount equal to such nonpaying Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined
in accordance with GAAP so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Guarantee. 
 (i)
Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from,
rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article X of the Indenture, this new Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible
such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (j) This
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors
or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and
performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes and Guarantee, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent
transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be
reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 (k) In case any provision of
this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

(l) This Guarantee shall be a general unsecured senior obligation of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, ranking equally in right of payment with
all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, if any. 
 (m) Each payment to be made by the Guaranteeing
Subsidiary in respect of this Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 (n)
The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under Section 10.01 of the Indenture.

all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

Subsidiary is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guaranteeing Subsidiary) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been
made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (the Guaranteeing Subsidiary or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the

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

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

 (ii) the
transaction is made in compliance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture; 
 (b) Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture,

(i) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, in each case if such sale, exchange, disposition or transfer
is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Guarantor is released from its guarantee, if any, of, and all pledges and security, if any, granted in connection with, the Senior Credit Facilities; 

(B) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities, or the
release or discharge of such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement
is still a release, and that if any such guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15 of the Indenture); 

(C) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the
applicable provisions of the Indenture; or

the Notes, the 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 Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver
and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
