 ARTICLE II 

The Notes 
 SECTION 2.01.
Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes are set forth in the Rule 144A/Regulation S Appendix attached hereto as Appendix I (the “Appendix”), which is hereby incorporated
in, and expressly made part of, this Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Appendix, which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this
Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuers are subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form
acceptable to the Issuers). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in the Appendix are part of the terms of this Indenture. 

SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication. (a)An Officer for each of the Company and the Corporate Issuer shall sign the Notes for the
Company and the Corporate Issuer, respectively, by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. A Note
shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

(b) On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver $375,000,000 of 5.875% Senior Notes Due 2023 and, at any time and from time
to time thereafter, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified by the Issuers, in each case upon a written order of the Issuers signed by an Officer. Such order shall specify the
amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and, in the case of an issuance of Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.13 after the Issue Date, shall certify that such issuance
is in compliance with Section 4.06. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time is unlimited. 

  
 34 








 (c) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to
authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such
agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 
 SECTION
2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. (a) The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be presented for registration of
transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency (which may be the office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying
Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional
paying agent. 
 (b) The Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a
party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the
Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Issuers or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary incorporated or
organized within the United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent. 
 (c) The Issuers
initially appoint the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Notes and as Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. The Company has entered into a letter of representations with the Depositary in the form provided by
the Depositary and the Trustee and each Agent are hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and Applicable Procedures. 
 (d)
The Company shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes and this Indenture, including but not limited to determination of interest, redemption price, Applicable Premium, premium, if any, and any other amounts payable on
the Notes. The Company will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the
Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward the Company’s calculations to any Holder of the Notes upon the written
request of such Holder. 
 SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due date of the principal and interest on
any Note, the Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Issuers 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 the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the


  
 35 








 
Issuers in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary thereof acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The
Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money
delivered to the Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.05. Securityholder 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 the Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing 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. 

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of
a Note for registration of transfer. When a Note is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and
Section 8-401(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the
exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed)
or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. 
 SECTION 2.07.
Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note
if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond that
is sufficient in the judgment of the Issuers and the Trustee to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may
charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is an additional Obligation of the Issuers. 
 SECTION
2.08. Outstanding Notes. (a) Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancelation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Note
does not cease to be outstanding because either of the Issuers or an Affiliate of either of the Issuers holds the Note. 
 (b) If a Note is
replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuers receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform
Commercial Code). 
 (c) If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or
maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and 

  
 36 








 
interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to
be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 SECTION 2.09. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for
delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without
unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes and deliver them in exchange for temporary Notes. 

SECTION 2.10. Cancelation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancelation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent
shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Notes surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancelation and deliver evidence of such cancelation to the Issuers upon request. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes they have redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for
cancelation. 
 SECTION 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuers shall pay
defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuers may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuers shall fix or cause to
be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be
paid. 
 SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Issuers may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code”
numbers (in each case if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, 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 a 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 Issuers shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs or “Common Code” numbers
applicable to the Notes. 
 SECTION 2.13. Issuance of Additional Notes. (a) After the Issue Date, the Issuers shall be entitled,
subject to their compliance with Section 4.06, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture, which Notes shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue
price. All the Notes issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. 

(b) With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuers shall set forth in resolution of the Board of Managers and Board of Directors, as
applicable, and an Officers’ 

  
 37 








 
Certificate or supplemental indenture, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 

(i) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture and
the provision of Section 4.06 that the Issuers are relying on to issue such Additional Notes; and 
 (ii) the issue
price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes, if any; provided, however, that no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within
the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code. 
 ARTICLE III 

Optional Redemption; Offer to Purchase 

SECTION 3.01. Sinking Fund; Mandatory Redemption. There is no sinking fund for, or mandatory redemption of, the Notes. 

SECTION 3.02. Method and Effect of Redemption. (a) If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraph 4 thereof, the
Issuers must notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed by delivering an Officers’ Certificate at least 45 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee).
If fewer than all of the Notes are being redeemed, the Officers’ Certificate must also specify a record date not less than 15 days after the date of the notice of redemption is given to the Trustee, and the Trustee will select the Notes to be
redeemed on a pro rata basis or by lot in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, in denominations of $2,000 principal amount or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Trustee will notify the Issuers promptly of the Notes or
portions of Notes to be called for redemption. Notice of redemption must be mailed by first-class mail (or sent by electronic transmission in the case of Notes held in book entry form) by the Issuers or, at the Issuers’ request, by the Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Issuers to Holders whose Notes are to be redeemed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date; provided, however, that the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee, at
least 45 days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice together with the notice to be given setting forth the
information to be stated therein as provided in Section 3.02(b) of this Indenture. Subject to clause (d) below, notices of redemption may not be conditional. 

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

(i) the redemption date, and whether the redemption is subject to any conditions, which shall be stated in reasonable detail;

 (ii) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued interest, if any; 

  
 38 








 (iii) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for redemption (Notes
called for redemption must be so surrendered in order to collect the redemption price); 
 (iv) that on the redemption date,
the redemption price will become due and payable on Notes called for redemption, and interest on Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

(v) that if any Note is redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and that on and after the
redemption date, upon surrender of such Note, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion will be issued; and 

(vi) if any Note contains a CUSIP number or ISIN, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP number or
ISIN either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. 

(c) Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, Notes called for redemption become due and payable at the redemption price on the
redemption date, and upon surrender of the Notes called for redemption, the Issuers shall redeem such Notes at the redemption price, subject to any conditions applicable thereto. Commencing on the redemption date, Notes redeemed will cease to accrue
interest. Upon surrender of any Note redeemed in part, the Holder will receive a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.02, any notice of redemption in connection with (i) any securities
offering or any other financing or (ii) a transaction (or series of related transactions) that constitutes a Change of Control, may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof and be subject to one or more
conditions precedent, including completion of the related securities offering, financing or Change of Control. If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company will provide notice to the Trustee not less than two Business Days
prior to the redemption date that such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the notice of redemption is rescinded or delayed and the redemption subject to the satisfaction of such condition precedent shall not occur or shall be delayed. The
Trustee shall promptly send a copy of such notice to the Holders of the Notes. 
 SECTION 3.03. Offer to Purchase. (a) An
“Offer to Purchase” means an offer by the Issuers to purchase Notes as required by this Indenture. An Offer to Purchase must be made by written offer (the “offer”) sent to the Holders. The Issuers will notify the
Trustee at least 15 days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to sending the offer to Holders of their obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the offer will be sent by the Issuers or, at the Issuers’ request, by
the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers. 
 (b) The offer must include or state the following as to the terms of the Offer
to Purchase: 
 (i) the provision of this Indenture pursuant to which the Offer to Purchase is being made; 

  
 39 








 (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes offered to be
purchased by the Issuers pursuant to the Offer to Purchase (including, if less than 100%, the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which such offer is made) (the “purchase amount”); 

(iii) the purchase price, including the portion thereof representing accrued interest, if any; 

(iv) an expiration date (the “expiration date”) not less than 30 days or more than 60 days after the date of
the offer, and a settlement date for purchase (the “purchase date”) not more than five Business Days after the expiration date; 

(v) information concerning the business of the Company which the Issuers in good faith believe will enable the Holders to make
an informed decision with respect to the Offer to Purchase, at a minimum to include: 
 (A) the most recent annual and
quarterly financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the Company, other than to the extent such information is contained in the Company’s filings with the
SEC and incorporated in the offer by reference, 
 (B) a description of material developments in the Company’s business
subsequent to the date of the latest of the financial statements (including a description of the events requiring the Issuers to make the Offer to Purchase), and 

(C) if applicable, appropriate pro forma financial information concerning the Offer to Purchase and the events requiring the
Issuers to make the Offer to Purchase; 
 (vi) a Holder may tender all or any portion of its Notes, subject to the
requirement that any portion of a Note tendered must be in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 

(vii) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for tender pursuant to the Offer to Purchase; 

(viii) each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the offer will be required to surrender such Note at the place or
places specified in the offer prior to the close of business on the expiration date (such Note being, if the Issuers or the Trustee so requires, duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer); 

(ix) interest on any Note not tendered, or tendered but not purchased by the Issuers pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, will
continue to accrue; 
 (x) on the purchase date the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for
purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date; 

  
 40 








 (xi) Holders are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving notice, which must
be received by the Issuers or the Trustee not later than the close of business on the expiration date, setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the tendered Notes, the certificate number of the tendered Notes and a statement
that the Holder is withdrawing all or a portion of the tender; 
 (xii) (A) if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less
than or equal to the purchase amount are duly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, the Issuers will purchase all such Notes, and (B) if the Offer to Purchase is for less than all of the outstanding Notes and Notes in an
aggregate principal amount in excess of the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer, the Issuers will purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase amount on a pro rata basis, with adjustments
so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; 

(xiii) if any Note is purchased in part, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Note will be
issued; and 
 (xiv) if any Note contains a CUSIP number or ISIN, no representation is being made as to the correctness of
the CUSIP number or ISIN either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the offer and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. 

(c) Prior to the purchase date, the Issuers will accept tendered Notes for purchase as required by the Offer to Purchase and deliver to the
Trustee all Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate specifying which Notes have been accepted for purchase. On the purchase date, the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest
on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date. The Trustee will promptly return to Holders any Notes not accepted for purchase and send to Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes
accepted for purchase in part. 
 (d) The Issuers will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and all other applicable laws in
making any Offer to Purchase, and the above procedures will be deemed modified as necessary to permit such compliance. 
 ARTICLE IV 

Covenants 
 SECTION 4.01.
Payment of Notes. (a) The Issuers agree to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and this Indenture. Not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on the due date of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Notes, or any redemption or purchase price of the Notes, the Issuers will deposit with the Trustee (or Paying Agent) money in immediately available funds
sufficient to pay such amounts; provided, however, that if the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers is acting as Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due 

  
 41 








 
date, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such amounts until paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in
this Indenture. In each case, the Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee of their compliance with this Section 4.01. 
 (b) An
installment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers) holds on that date money designated for and sufficient
to pay the installment. If any of the Issuers or their Affiliates acts as Paying Agent, an installment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, will be considered paid on the due date only if paid to the Holders. 

(c) The Issuers agree to pay interest on overdue principal, and, to the extent lawful, overdue installments of interest, if any, at the rate
per annum specified in the Notes. 
 (d) Payments in respect of the Notes represented by the Global Notes are to be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders of the Global Notes. With respect to Certificated Notes, the Issuers will make all payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders
thereof or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each Holder’s registered address. 
 SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of
Office or Agency. The Issuers will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes
and this Indenture may be served. The Issuers hereby initially designate the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office of the Issuers. The Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the
location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers fail to maintain any such required office or agency or fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served to
the Trustee. 
 The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be surrendered or
presented for any of such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or
agency. 
 SECTION 4.03. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 4.04. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 4.05. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 4.06. Limitations on Indebtedness. (a) The Issuers will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, become liable for or guarantee the payment of (collectively, “Incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) unless, immediately after giving effect thereto and the
application of the proceeds therefrom, either (i) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio 

  
 42 








 
on the date thereof would be at least 2.0 to 1.0 or (ii) the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth on the date thereof would be less than 3.0 to 1.0
(any such Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this paragraph being herein referred to as “Ratio Indebtedness”). 
 (b)
Notwithstanding Section 4.06(a), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Permitted Indebtedness. 
 (c) For purposes of
determining compliance with this covenant: 
 (i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets
the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness permitted by Section 4.06(a) or (b) above, the Issuers, in their sole discretion, will classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) at the time of Incurrence and
will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness or as Ratio Indebtedness; 

(ii) the Company will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness
permitted by Section 4.06(a) or (b) above; and 
 (iii) any Permitted Indebtedness originally classified as
Incurred pursuant to one of the clauses in the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” (other than pursuant to clause (1) thereof) may later be reclassified by the Company such that it will be deemed as having been Incurred as Ratio
Indebtedness or as Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to another clause in the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”, as applicable, to the extent that such reclassified Indebtedness could be Incurred pursuant thereto at the time of such
reclassification. 
 (d) The Issuers will not, and will not cause or permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness
that purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such Issuer or of such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by
its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or to the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be, to the same extent and in the same manner as such
Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to such other Indebtedness of the applicable Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be. 

SECTION 4.07. Limitations on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment unless: 
 (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at
the time of or immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment; 
 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such
Restricted Payment, the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of Ratio Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.06(a); and

amount of all Restricted Payments (including the Fair Market Value of any non-cash Restricted Payment) declared or made on or after May 10, 2011 (other than those Restricted Payments described in Section 4.07(b)(iii) through
Section 4.07(b)(xiii)) does not exceed the sum of: 
 (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company on a
cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) from and including October 1, 2013 and ending on the last day of the Company’s fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of such Restricted Payment (or in the
event such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus 
 (B) 100% of the aggregate
net cash proceeds of and the Fair Market Value of any Property or other asset received by the Company from (1) any capital contribution to the Company after May 10, 2011 or any issue or sale after May 10, 2011 of any Qualified Equity
Interests and (2) the issue or sale after May 10, 2011 of any Indebtedness or other securities of the Company convertible into or exercisable for Qualified Equity Interests that have been so converted or exercised, plus 

(C) in the case of a distribution on or disposition or repayment of any Restricted Investment, an amount (to the extent not
included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income referred to in clause (A)) equal to the lesser of (x) the return of capital with respect to such Investment (including by dividend, distribution or sale of Equity Interests) and
(y) the amount of such Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment, in either case, less the cost of the disposition or repayment of such Investment (to the extent not included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income referred to
in clause (A)), plus 
 (D) with respect to any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is redesignated as a Restricted
Subsidiary after May 10, 2011 in accordance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (so long as the designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary was treated as a Restricted Payment made after May 10,
2011, and only to the extent not included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income referred to in clause (A)), an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the proportionate interest of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an amount
equal to the excess of (I) the total assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, valued on an aggregate basis at the lesser of book value and Fair Market Value thereof, over (II) the total liabilities of such Unrestricted Subsidiary,
determined in accordance with GAAP, and (y) the Designation Amount at the time of such Unrestricted Subsidiary’s designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

(b) Section 4.07(a) will not prohibit: 

(i) the payment of any dividend or redemption of any Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness within 60 days after the
date of declaration thereof or call for 

  
 44 








 
redemption if, at such date of declaration or call for redemption, such payment or redemption was permitted by the provisions of the preceding paragraph as of the date of declaration (and the
payment itself will be deemed to have been paid on such date of declaration); 
 (ii) any Restricted Payment made in exchange
for, or out of the net proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Qualified Equity Interests; 
 (iii) the purchase,
repayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value by the Company of any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company, the Corporate Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for, or out of proceeds of,
Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred as permitted by and in compliance with Section 4.06; 
 (iv) Restricted Payments made
after the Issue Date not to exceed an aggregate amount (net of any returns of capital with respect to such Investments (including by dividend, distribution or sale)) of $50,000,000; 

(v) [Reserved]; 

(vi) Restricted Payments made after the Issue Date in respect of Specified Obligations not to exceed $70,000,000;
provided, however, that such Restricted Payments may exceed $70,000,000 to the extent that the Company receives a cash equity contribution from JFSCI in the amount of such excess within 10 Business Days following such Restricted
Payment; 
 (vii) Tax Distributions (other than payments with respect to Specified Obligations); 

(viii) [Reserved]; 

(ix) the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Equity Interests of the Company

result therefrom); 
 (x) repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon exercise of equity options or warrants if such
Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of such options or warrants; 
 (xi) Restricted Payments that are
made with Excluded Contributions; 
 (xii) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any
Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to provisions similar to those described in Sections 4.10 and 4.12; provided, however, that all Notes tendered by Holders in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer, as
applicable, have been purchased, redeemed, defeased or acquired for value; or 

  
 45 








 (xiii) Restricted Investments after the Issue Date in joint ventures (other than
amounts expended in respect of Specified Obligations) in an amount not to exceed an aggregate amount (net of any returns of capital with respect to such Investments (including by dividend, distribution or sale)) of $100,000,000 (any Investment made
pursuant to this clause (xiii) being an Investment made pursuant to the “JV Payment Basket”). 
 (c) For purposes of
determining the aggregate and permitted amounts of Restricted Payments made, the amount of any guarantee of any Investment in any Person that was initially treated as a Restricted Payment and which was subsequently terminated or expired, net of any
amounts paid by either of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such guarantee, shall be deducted. 
 SECTION 4.08.
Limitations on Liens. (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, on any of their respective Properties without making
effective provision whereby any and all Notes and Guarantees then or thereafter outstanding will be secured by a Lien equally and ratably with or prior to any and all Indebtedness thereby secured for so long as any such Indebtedness shall be so
secured. 
 (b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to clause (a) above may provide by its terms that any such
Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien securing such other Indebtedness. 

SECTION 4.09. Limitations on Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Equity Interests or any other interest or participation in, or
measured by, its profits, owned by the Company, the Corporate Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary, or pay interest on or principal of any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, 

(ii) make loans or advances to the Company, the Corporate Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary, or 

(iii) transfer any of its Property or assets to the Company, the Corporate Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary.

(i) encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of applicable law, including judicial or regulatory actions, 

(ii) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date, 

  
 46 








 (iii) any restrictions or encumbrances arising under (A) Acquired
Indebtedness or (B) appearing in any agreements acquired or assumed in connection with the acquisition of Property; provided, however, that such encumbrance or restriction applies only to either the assets that were subject to the
restriction or encumbrance at the time of the acquisition or the obligor on such Indebtedness and its Subsidiaries prior to such acquisition, 

(iv) any Permitted Lien, or any other agreement restricting the sale or other disposition of Property, if such Permitted Lien
or agreement does not expressly restrict the ability of a Subsidiary of the Company to pay dividends or make or repay loans or advances prior to default thereunder, 

(v) reasonable and customary borrowing base covenants set forth in agreements evidencing Indebtedness otherwise permitted by
this Indenture, 
 (vi) customary non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses, encumbrances, contracts or similar assets
entered into or acquired in the ordinary course of business, 
 (vii) any restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary
imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary pending the closing of such sale or disposition, 

(viii) encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of (A) this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees,
(B) any Credit Facility, the Indebtedness under which is Permitted Indebtedness incurred under clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” or (C) the definitive agreements governing any other Senior Indebtedness
permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date in accordance with Section 4.06 above; provided, however, that in the case of clause (C), (x) either (i) the encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of
and during the continuance of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant contained in such definitive agreements or (ii) the Company determines at the time any such Senior Indebtedness is Incurred (and at the time of
any modification of the terms of any such encumbrance or restriction) that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the
Notes and any other Indebtedness that is an obligation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable and (y) the encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes than is customary in
comparable financings or agreements (as determined by the Company in good faith), 
 (ix) purchase money obligations that
impose restrictions on the Property so acquired of the nature described in Section 4.09(a)(iii), 
 (x) Liens permitted
under this Indenture securing Indebtedness that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien, 

  
 47 








 (xi) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or
Property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements,

business,

into with municipal entities, agencies or sponsors in connection with the entitlement or development of real property or (B) agreements for funding of infrastructure, including in respect of the issuance of community facility district bonds,
metro district bonds, mello-roos bonds and subdivision improvement bonds, and similar bonding requirements arising in the ordinary course of business of a homebuilder; 

(xv) any encumbrances or restrictions contained in any joint venture agreement entered into by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent binding upon the assets of the relevant joint venture, together with any encumbrances or restrictions contained in any agreement entered into by any such joint venture; 

(xvi) any encumbrances or restrictions that require “lockbox” or similar obligations with respect to Non-Recourse
Indebtedness and Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien pursuant to clause (12) of the definition thereof; and 

(xvii) any encumbrance or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 4.09(a)
imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, supplements, replacements or Refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (viii) and (ix) of Section 4.09(b);
provided, however, that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, supplements, replacements or Refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Governing Body, no more restrictive in any material respect
with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, supplement, replacement or Refinancing. 

SECTION 4.10. Limitations on Asset Dispositions. (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
make any Asset Disposition unless: (x) the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value thereof and (y) not less than 70%
of the consideration received by the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities. 

(b) The amount of (i) any Indebtedness (other than any Subordinated Indebtedness) of either the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that
is actually assumed by the transferee in such Asset Disposition (provided that the Company or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, making the Asset Disposition is released from its obligations with respect to such


  
 48 








 
Indebtedness), (ii) any notes or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary which are converted into cash or Cash Equivalents within 60 days of receipt thereof
and (iii) the Fair Market Value of any Property or other asset (including Equity Interests of any Person that will be a Restricted Subsidiary following receipt thereof) received that is used or useful in a Real Estate Business shall be deemed
to be consideration required by Section 4.10(a)(y) for purposes of determining the percentage of such consideration received by the Company or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be. 

(c) The Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Disposition shall, within one year of such Asset Disposition, at the Company’s election,
(a) be used by either of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to invest in assets (including Equity Interests of any Person that is or will be a Restricted Subsidiary following investment therein) used or useful in the Real Estate Business of
the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, (b) be used to permanently prepay or permanently repay any (1) Indebtedness that had been secured by the assets sold in the relevant Asset Disposition or (2) Indebtedness of a Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, or (c) be applied to make an offer to purchase Notes and, if the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary elects or is required to do so, to repay, purchase or redeem any other Senior Indebtedness (or cash
collateralize letters of credit that constitute Senior Indebtedness Incurred in connection with Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” or a Credit Facility) (on a pro rata basis if
the amount available for such repayment, purchase, redemption or cash collateralization is less than the aggregate amount of (i) the principal amount of the Notes tendered in such offer to purchase and (ii) the lesser of the principal
amount, or accreted value, of such other Senior Indebtedness tendered or to be repaid, redeemed, repurchased or cash collateralized, plus, in each case, accrued interest to the date of repayment, purchase or redemption) at 100% of the principal
amount or accreted value thereof, as the case may be, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, repayment or redemption. Pending any such application under this paragraph, Net Cash Proceeds may be used to temporarily
reduce Indebtedness or otherwise be invested in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (d) Any Net Cash Proceeds from the Asset
Disposition that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in paragraph (c) above (which will include the Fair Market Value of any Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities received in connection with such
Asset Disposition which have not been converted into cash) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25,000,000, the Issuers shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes
and, if required by the terms of any Senior Indebtedness, to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of the Notes and
such Senior Indebtedness that is an integral multiple of $1,000 that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) thereof, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuers will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within 10 Business Days after the
date that Excess Proceeds exceed $25,000,000 by delivering the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. 

  
 49 








 (e) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Senior Indebtedness tendered
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuers may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of
Notes and the Senior Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and such Senior Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of
the Notes and such Senior Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reduced by the amount of such Asset Sales Offer. 

(f) The Issuers 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 Issuers 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. Future Guarantors. The Company shall cause each Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Wholly Owned
Restricted Subsidiary that is prohibited from becoming a Guarantor as a result of any requirement of law, rule or regulation binding on such Subsidiary) that Incurs any Indebtedness to contemporaneously, and may at its election cause other
Restricted Subsidiaries to, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit A hereto pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Notes on the same terms and conditions as
those set forth in this Indenture and applicable to the other Guarantors at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or Incurs any such Indebtedness or at the time of such election by the Company, as applicable. 

SECTION 4.12. Repurchase of Notes upon Change of Control. (a) In the event that there shall occur a Change of Control Triggering Event,
each Holder of the Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Issuers to purchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes (a “Change of Control Offer”) on a date (the “Repurchase
Date”) that is no later than 90 days after notice of the Change of Control Triggering Event, at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Repurchase Date (subject to the right of the Holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 (b) On or before the thirtieth day
after any Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Issuers have previously or concurrently sent a redemption notice that is or has become unconditional with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.01(a) or
Section 8.08, the Issuers are obligated to send or cause to be sent to all Holders of record of the Notes with a copy to the Trustee, a notice stating (i) that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and each Holder has a right
to require the Issuers to purchase such Holder’s Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Repurchase Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), (ii) the 

  
 50 








 
Repurchase Date, (iii) the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised, and (iv) the procedure which the Holder must follow to exercise such right. To exercise such right, the
Holder of such Note must deliver, at least 10 days prior to the Repurchase Date, written notice to the Issuers (or an agent designated by the Issuers for such purpose) of the Holder’s exercise of such right, together with the Note with respect
to which the right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer; provided, however, that if mandated by applicable law, a Holder may be permitted to deliver such notice nearer to the Repurchase Date than may be specified by the
Issuers. 
 (c) The Issuers will comply with applicable law, including Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14e-1
thereunder, if applicable, if the Issuers are required to give a notice of a right of repurchase as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Section 4.12, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.12 by virtue thereof. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: 

(i) the Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering
Event if a third party makes such an offer substantially in compliance with the requirements of clauses (a) through (c) above and the third party promptly purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer and 

(ii) a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of
Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control anticipated to give rise to such Change of Control Triggering Event at the time of the making of such Change of Control Offer. 

SECTION 4.13. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, make any loan, advance, guarantee or capital contribution to, or for the benefit of, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Property or assets to or for the benefit of, or purchase or lease any Property or assets from,
or enter into or amend any contract, agreement or understanding with, or for the benefit of, (i) any Affiliate of the Company, (ii) any Affiliate of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, (iii) any holder of 10% or more of the Common
Equity of the Company or (iv) any Affiliates of such holders (collectively, “Affiliated Persons”), in a single transaction or series of related transactions (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), except for any
Affiliate Transaction the terms of which are at least as favorable as the terms which could reasonably be obtained by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arm’s-length basis with Persons who are not Affiliated Persons. 
 (b) In addition, the Company will
not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into an Affiliate Transaction: 

  
 51 








 (A) having a value of more than $10,000,000 unless the terms of such Affiliate
Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of the Company’s Governing Body has determined in good faith that the criterion set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph has been satisfied and 

(B) having a value of more than $20,000,000 unless the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and the
Company has received a written opinion from an Independent Qualified Party to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or is not less favorable to the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person who is not an Affiliated Person. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Affiliate Transaction will not include: 

(i) any contract, agreement or understanding with, or for the benefit of, or plan for the benefit of, employees of the Company
or its Subsidiaries generally (in their capacities as such) that has been approved by the Governing Body of the Company, 

(ii) Equity Interests issuances to directors, officers and employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to plans
approved by the holders of Equity Interests of the Company, 
 (iii) any Permitted Investment (other than Permitted
Investments described in clause (3)(b) of the definition of “Permitted Investment”) or Restricted Payment permitted under Section 4.07, 

(iv) any transaction between or among the Company and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among Restricted
Subsidiaries (provided, however, no such transaction shall involve any other Affiliated Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent the applicable amount constitutes a Restricted Payment permitted by this Indenture)),

 (v) any transaction between one or more Restricted Subsidiaries and one or more Unrestricted Subsidiaries where all of the
payments to, or other benefits conferred upon, such Unrestricted Subsidiaries are substantially contemporaneously dividended, or otherwise distributed or transferred without charge, to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary,

Section 4.14, in which any such Issuer or Guarantor is not the continuing obligor under the Notes, the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or into which such Issuer or Guarantor is merged or the Person to which the sale, lease,
conveyance, lease or disposition is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, such Issuer or Guarantor under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named
therein as such Issuer or Guarantor, as applicable. Upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or disposition, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (i) with respect
to both the Officers’ Certificate and the Opinion of Counsel, stating that such transaction and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, comply with the applicable provisions of
this Indenture, (ii) with respect to the Officers’ Certificate only, that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied and (iii) with respect to the Opinion of Counsel only, if a

Transaction of a Model Home Unit); and 

  
 54 








 (iii) the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with

activities (other than treasury, cash management and activities incidental thereto); provided, however, that the Corporate Issuer may be a co-obligor or co-guarantor with respect to the Notes or any other Indebtedness or other

 SECTION 4.19. Reports to Holders of Notes. (a) Subject to clauses (b) and (c) below, the Company shall provide the
Trustee with and shall post on a website freely accessible to the public such annual and other reports as are substantially similar to those reports specified in Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation
subject to such Sections, such reports to be so provided and posted no later than within (i) 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company for an annual report, (ii) 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal
quarters of each fiscal year of the Company for a quarterly report, and (iii) within four Business Days of the occurrence of an event that would have been required to be reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K required to be filed under the
Exchange Act if the Company had been a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and containing all the information and audit reports required for such reports; provided that all of the foregoing reports (x) will not be required to
comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, (y) will not be required to contain the separate financial information for Guarantors and non-guarantor

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: 

(i) in the case of each annual report, such reports will not be required to contain information required by Item 1B, 4, 5,
9A, 10, 11, (except, in the case of Items 10 and 11, to the extent similar information is contained in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Management”) 12, 13 or 14 of Form 10-K, 

(ii) in the case of each quarterly report, such reports will not be required to


  
 55 








 
contain information required by Item 4 or 4T of Part I of, or Item 2 or 4 of Part II of, Form 10-Q and 

(iii) in the case of each current report, such reports will not be required to contain information required by Item 1.04,
2.02, 5.02(c)(3) or (d)(5), 5.02(e), 5.04, 5.05, 5.06, 5.07, 5.08 or 7.01 of, Section 3 or 6 of, or Item 5.02(c)(1)-(2) or (d)(1)-(4) (except to the extent similar information is contained in the Offering Memorandum under the
caption “Management”) of, Form 8-K; provided, however, that no such report shall be required to be furnished if the Company determines in its good faith judgment that such event is not material to the Holders of
the Notes or the business, assets, operations, financial positions or prospects of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

(c) The Company shall, to extent not satisfied by clause (a) above, furnish to Holders and prospective Holders, upon their request, the
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 (d) Within a reasonably prompt period of
time following the disclosure of any annual and quarterly information required pursuant to clause (a) above, the Company shall conduct a conference call with respect to such information and results of operations for the relevant reporting
period. 
 (e) No fewer than three Business Days prior to (i) the disclosure of the annual and quarterly information required pursuant
to clause (a) above and (ii) the date of the conference call required to be held in accordance with clause (d) above, the Company shall post on a website freely accessible to the public a notice announcing the date that such
information will be available and the time and date of such conference call and how to access such conference call. 
 Delivery of such reports, information
and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of them will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
compliance (or lack thereof) by the Company or the Corporate Issuer with any of its covenants in this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The delivery of reports to the Trustee shall be
made by electronic transmission to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been filed pursuant to the EDGAR filing system (or its successor) or postings to
any website have occurred. The Trustee has no duty to participate in or monitor such conference calls. 
 SECTION 4.20. Reports to
Trustee. (a) The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee an annual statement regarding compliance with this Indenture in accordance with TIA §314(a)(4). 

(b) All “obligors”, as that term is defined under the Trust Indenture Act, on the Notes, including the Issuers and the Guarantors,
will comply with Section 314(a) of the Trust 

  
 56 








 
Indenture Act. The Company will notify the Trustee when any Notes are listed on any national securities exchange and of any delisting. 

SECTION 4.21. Suspension of Certain Covenants upon Investment Grade Rating. (a) Subject to clauses (b) through (h) below, if
on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from two Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing, then, beginning on that day (the occurrence of the events described in the
foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.09 4.10, 4.11, 4.13 and 4.14(a)(iii) hereof (collectively, the “Suspended
Covenants”) shall not apply to the Issuers or the Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (b) In the event that the Issuers and the Restricted
Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of clause (a) above, 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 Issuers and the 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 Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” 

(c) The Issuers shall promptly upon its occurrence deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate notifying the Trustee of the
occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date, and the date thereof. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to monitor the occurrence or dates of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date and may rely conclusively on such
Officers’ Certificate. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to notify the Holders of the occurrence or dates of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date. 

(d) On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been incurred or issued
pursuant to Section 4.06(a) or (b) above (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred or issued prior to the Suspension
Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.06(a) or (b) above, such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the
Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (3) the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness.” 
 (e)
Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 above will be made as though such Section 4.07 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension
Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a). 

(f) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date
as a result of any actions taken by the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period that, but for the occurrence of the Covenant Suspension Event, would have violated one or more of the Suspended Covenants. 

  
 57 








 (g) Within 30 days after such Reversion Date, the Issuers must comply with Section 4.11
above. 
 (h) For the purposes of Section 4.10 above, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount shall be reset to
zero. 
 ARTICLE V 
 Remedies

 SECTION 5.01. Events of Default. “Event of Default” means any one or more of the following events: 

(i) the failure by the Issuers and the Guarantors to pay interest on, or with respect to, any Note when the same becomes due
and payable and the continuance of any such failure for a period of 30 days; 
 (ii) the failure by the Issuers and the
Guarantors to pay the principal of or premium on any Note when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, including pursuant to any required repurchase or optional redemption; 

(iii) the failure by the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with any of its agreements or covenants in, or
provisions of, the Notes, the Guarantees or this Indenture and such failure continues for the period and after the notice specified below (except in the case of a default under Sections 4.12 and 4.14, which will constitute Events of Default
with notice but without passage of time); 
 (iv) the failure by either of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary to make
any principal or interest payment in an amount of $25,000,000 or more, individually or in the aggregate, in respect of Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of either of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days of such
principal or interest becoming due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period set forth in the documents governing such Indebtedness); 

(v) a final judgment or judgments that exceed $25,000,000 or more (net of insurance available to the applicable Issuer or
Restricted Subsidiary and expected (in the good faith judgment of the Company) to be available to satisfy such judgment), individually or in the aggregate, for the payment of money having been entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction
against either of the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgment or judgments is not satisfied, bonded, stayed, annulled or rescinded within 60 days of being entered; 

(vi) either of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of
any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (A) commences a voluntary case, 

  
 58 








 (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary
case, 
 (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its Property, or 

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

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

(A) is for relief against either of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary as debtor in an
involuntary case, 
 (B) appoints a Custodian of either of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant
Subsidiary or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the Property of either of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, or 

(C) orders the liquidation of either of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, 

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

(viii) any Guarantee of a Guarantor which is a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in
accordance with the terms of such Guarantee and this Indenture) or is declared in any judicial proceeding to be null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of
release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Guarantee). 
 The foregoing will constitute Events of
Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative
or governmental body. 
 A Default as described in subclause (iii) of this Section 5.01 will not be deemed an Event of Default
until the Trustee notifies the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes notify the Issuers and the Trustee, of the Default and (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 4.12 and
Section 4.14) the Issuers do not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default”. If such a Default is
cured within such time period, it ceases to be a Default. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to either
of the Issuers resulting from subclause (vi) or (vii) of this Section 5.01), shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Issuers and the 

  
 59 








 
Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, such principal and interest will
be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default with respect to either of the Issuers specified in subclause (vi) or (vii) of this Section 5.01 occurs, the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes will ipso
facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee and the Issuers or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind an
acceleration and its consequences if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) before any judgment or decree for payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered, the Issuers pay or deposit with
the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest, if any, upon all of the Notes and the principal (and premium, if any) of all the Notes which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration or shall have been required
to be repurchased or redeemed (with interest on overdue installments of interest, if any, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law and on such principal at the rate borne by the Notes to the date of such
payment or deposit) and the reasonable compensation, disbursements, expenses and advances of the Trustee (including of its agents and counsel) and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 and (iii) if all existing Events of
Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

If the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned
because of such rescission or annulment or for any reason or shall have been determined to be adverse to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be restored respectively to their several
positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken. 

Except with respect to an Event of Default pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 5.01, the Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee by the Issuers, a Paying Agent or any Holder. 

SECTION 5.02. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee of
an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, 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. 
 SECTION 5.03.
Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders. By written notice to the Trustee and the Issuers, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past
Default hereunder and its consequences, except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to this Indenture or
(c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot 

  
 60 








 
be amended without the consent of each Noteholder affected. Upon any such waiver, the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this
Section 5.03, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing. 

SECTION 5.04. Direction of Proceedings. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (subject to
the provisions of Section 7.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction unless such directing Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or
expense. 
 SECTION 5.05. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys or other property collected by the Trustee pursuant
to this Article with respect to outstanding Notes shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys or other property, upon presentation of the Notes and stamping thereon the
payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of
collection and reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities Incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 except as a result of its negligence or
willful misconduct; 
 SECOND: If the principal of the Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of
interest, if any, on the Notes, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, if any, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest, if any, at the
rate borne by the Notes, such payment to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto; 
 THIRD: If the principal of the
Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal, interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent that such interest has been
collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes, and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such
principal and interest, if any (without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest), ratably to the aggregate of such principal and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any; and 
 FOURTH: To the payment of any surplus then remaining to the Issuers, their
successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. 

  
 61 








 No claim for interest which in any manner at or after maturity shall have been transferred or
pledged separate or apart from the Notes to which it relates, or which in any manner shall have been kept alive after maturity by an extension (otherwise than pursuant to an extension made pursuant to a plan proposed by the Issuers to the Holders of
all Notes), purchase, funding or otherwise by or on behalf or with the consent or approval of the Issuers shall be entitled, in case of a default hereunder, to any benefit of this Indenture, except after prior payment in full of the principal of all
Notes and of all claims for interest not so transferred, pledged, kept alive, extended, purchased or funded. 
 SECTION 5.06. Proceedings
by Holders. No holder of any Notes shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered such
reasonable indemnity as the Trustee may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be Incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or
refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Note with every other Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right
in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture or of the Notes to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference as to any other
such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture or the Notes, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Notes. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Note to receive payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Note, on or after the maturity thereof, or to institute 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 5.07. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed
to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by
proceedings in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right
vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 SECTION 5.08. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and remedies given
by this Article V to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings
or otherwise, to enforce the 

  
 62 








 
performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any
default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.06, every power and remedy
given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders. 

SECTION 5.09. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, or in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it
as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the cost of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.09 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted
by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holders for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or

granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 SECTION
5.12. Trustee May File Proof of Claim. The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses,

to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to empower 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 thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 SECTION 5.13. Payment of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. The Issuers
covenant that (a) if default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest, if any, upon the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (b) if
default shall be made in the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, on the Notes as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at maturity of the Notes or upon redemption or by declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand

with interest upon the overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes; and, in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agent, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through

proceedings relative to the Issuers or other obligor on the Notes, or to the creditors or Property of the Issuers or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.13, shall be entitled and empowered by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise to
file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents

expenses or otherwise pursuant to Section 7.07, including counsel fees and expenses Incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses and counsel fees and expenses out of
the estate in any such proceedings 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, moneys, securities and other Property which the Holders of Notes
may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

 ARTICLE VI 

Guarantees; Release of Guarantor 

SECTION 6.01. Guarantees. (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to (x) each
Holder and (y) each of the Trustee and the Agents and its successors and assigns (1) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or


  
 65 








 
otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes and (2) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other
obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes, whether to the Holders, the Trustee or any Agent (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees
that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article VI notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any
Guaranteed Obligation. 
 (b) Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Issuers of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the
failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Guarantor) under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any
extension or renewal of any thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any Holder or the
Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (6) except as set forth in Section 6.06,
any change in the ownership of such Guarantor. 
 (c) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of
payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

(d) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 6.02, 6.06, 8.01 and 8.02, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to
any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever
or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise
affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay,
willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or would otherwise operate
as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
 (e) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or
reorganization of either Issuer or otherwise. 

  
 66 








 (f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or
the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other non-monetary Guaranteed Obligation as a result of which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written
demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed
Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (C) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee. 

(g) Each Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of
the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article V for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article V, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due
and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section. 
 (h) 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. 
 SECTION
6.02. Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that
can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

SECTION 6.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article VI shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall
enure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in
the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 

SECTION 6.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power
or privilege under this Article VI shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the
Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article VI at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 

  
 67 








 SECTION 6.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Article VI, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 

SECTION 6.06. Release of Guarantor. A Guarantor will be released from its obligations under this Article VI (other than any obligation
that may have arisen under Section 6.07). 
 (1) upon the sale (including any sale pursuant to any exercise of remedies
by a holder of Indebtedness of the Company or of such Guarantor) or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of all of the Equity Interests of a Guarantor owned by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, 

(2) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, 

(3) upon the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, 

(4) upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Article VIII, or 

(5) upon the full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture; 

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, (i) such sale or other disposition is made to a Person other
than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) such sale or disposition is otherwise permitted by this Indenture and (iii) the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee to the effect that the Company will comply
with its obligations under Section 4.10. 
 At the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing
such release. 
 SECTION 6.07. Contribution. 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.

direction.

the creditor relationship arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.

the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Issuers. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuers will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the
successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuers or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition, at

under the Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments delivered to it by the Issuers acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which
shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of the Holders of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal, premium, if any, and interest and on the Notes when such payments are due from the trust
referred to below; (b) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Notes concerning mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust with
respect to the Notes; (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; (d) this Article VIII and the Issuers’ and
Guarantors’ obligations pursuant to this Article VIII; (e) the rights of registration of transfer and exchange of the Notes; and (f) the rights of the Holders that are beneficiaries with respect to Property so deposited with the
Trustee payable to all or any of them. 
 SECTION 8.02. Covenant Defeasance. The Issuers shall, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.03, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13, clause (iii) of Section 4.14(a) and Sections 4.15, 4.16, 4.17,
4.18 and 4.19 and each Guarantor shall, subject to the satisfaction of such conditions, be released from such Guarantor’s obligation under its Guarantee, on and after the date that the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of the Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed outstanding for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees, the Issuers 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 5.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and
the Notes shall be unaffected thereby. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, Sections 5.01(iii) (with respect to the covenants described in this Section 8.02 and so defeased), 5.01(iv), 5.01(v),
5.01(vi) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only), 5.01(vii) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only), 5.01(viii) and 5.01(ix) shall not constitute Events of Default or Defaults hereunder.

 SECTION 8.03. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the
conditions to the application of Sections 8.01 and 8.02 to the Notes: 
 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance: 
 (a) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the
Holders of Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay, without
reinvestment, the principal of, and premium, if any, on the Notes on the stated maturity thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, together with the interest payable therein to and including such stated maturity or redemption
date, and the Issuers must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 
 (b) in the case
of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or there
has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law after the date of this Indenture, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of Notes will not recognize
income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance, and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance, and such Holders will be
subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(d) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds
to be applied to such deposit); 
 (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or
constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is bound; 

(f) the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that (x) the deposit was not made by the Issuers with
the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over other creditors of the Issuers, or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuers or others and (y) that the Company is solvent after giving effect to
such deposit; and 
 (g) the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel in the United
States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, each stating that 

  
 75 








 
the conditions precedent provided for or relating to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, in the case of the Officers’ Certificate, in clauses (a) through
(f) and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 8.03, have been complied with. 

SECTION 8.04. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to
Section 8.05, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively, and solely for purposes of this Section 8.04, the “Trustee”)
pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 8.08 in respect of the Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or indirectly or through
any paying agent (including the Issuers acting as paying agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 8.08 or the principal, premium, if any, 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 Notes. 
 Subject to the preceding paragraph and
Section 7.07, anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay, solely to the extent available in such trust, to the Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Issuers any money or
non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.03 or Section 8.08 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 8.03(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

SECTION 8.05. Repayment to Issuers. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for
the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, and interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on their request or (if then
held by the Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such paying agent with respect to
such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such paying agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuers
cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national editions), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuers. 
 SECTION 8.06.
Reinstatement. If the Trustee or paying agent is unable to apply any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01, 

  
 76 








 
Section 8.02 or Section 8.08 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, the Guarantees and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.08 until such
time as the Trustee or paying agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.08, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuers make any payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or paying
agent. 
 SECTION 8.07. Survival. The Trustee’s rights under Article VII and this Article VIII shall survive the
termination of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 8.08. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. If at any time (a)(i) the Issuers shall
have paid or caused to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the outstanding Notes (other than Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.04) as and
when the same shall have become due and payable, or (ii) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancelation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.04), or (b)(i) the Notes mature within one year, or all of them are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for giving the notice of redemption,
(ii) the Issuers irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee, as trust funds solely for the benefit of the Holders, money or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
of independent public accountants expressed in a written certificate delivered to the Trustee, without consideration of any reinvestment, to pay principal of and premium and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and to
pay all other sums payable by it hereunder, (iii) no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit, (iv) the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any
other agreement or instrument to which the Issuers are a party or by which they are bound, and (v) the Issuers delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for
herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; and if, in any such case, the Issuers shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuers (including all amounts, payable to
the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07), then, (x) after satisfying the conditions in clause (a), only the Company’s obligations under Sections 7.07 and 8.04 will survive or (y) after satisfying the conditions in
clause (b), only the Issuers’ or the Company’s, as applicable, obligations in Article II and Sections 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.06 will survive, and, in either case, the Trustee, on demand of the Issuers
accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the satisfaction and discharge contemplated by this provision have been complied with, and at the cost and expense of the
Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction and discharging of this Indenture. The Issuers agree to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred, and to compensate the
Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered, by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Notes.

 ARTICLE IX 

Amendments, Supplements and Waivers 

SECTION 9.01. Amendments Without Consent of Holders. The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee (as applicable) may amend, supplement
or waive this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees without notice to or the consent of any Holder: 
 (a) to evidence a Successor to the
Company, the Corporate Issuer or a Guarantor as permitted pursuant to Section 4.14, and the assumption by the Successor of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company, the Corporate Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be,
herein and in the Notes or the Guarantees; 
 (b) to add to the covenants of the Issuers such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or
provisions for the protection of the Holders of Notes, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuers, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions,
conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that in respect of any such additional covenants,
restrictions, conditions or provisions such amendment, supplemented indenture or waiver may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide
for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes to waive such
an Event of Default; 
 (c) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees; 

(d) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

 (e) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor or replacement Trustee; 

(f) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to, or in place of, Certificated Notes; 

(g) to provide for any Guarantee of the Notes, to add security to or for the benefit of the Notes or to confirm and evidence the release,
termination or discharge of any Guarantee of the Notes when such release, termination or discharge is permitted by this Indenture; 
 (h) to
make any other change that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder in any material respect as determined in good faith by the Company; 

(i) to conform any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees to the “Description of the Notes” contained in the
Offering Memorandum to the extent that the 

  
 78 








 
“Description of the Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision in this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees; 

(j) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes as permitted under this Indenture; or 

(k) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes; provided,
however, that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and
adversely affect the rights of the Holders to transfer Notes. 
 After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall
mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section. 

SECTION 9.02. Amendments with Consent of Holders. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b), the Issuers, the
Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which may include written consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes), and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Issuers and the Guarantors with any provision of this
Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees (which may include waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes). 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 9.02, without the consent of each Holder adversely affected
thereby, an amendment or waiver may not: 
 (i) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver, 
 (ii) reduce the rate of, or extend the time for payment of, any interest, including default
interest, on any Note, 
 (iii) reduce principal of, or change the fixed maturity of, any Note or alter the provisions
(including related definitions) with respect to redemptions described under Article III or, at any time after the obligation to make such an offer has arisen, with respect to mandatory offers to repurchase Notes described under
Section 4.10 and Section 4.12, 
 (iv) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note, 

(v) adversely modify the ranking or priority of the Notes or any Guarantee, except for releases of Guarantees permitted by this
Indenture, 

  
 79 








 (vi) make any change in Sections 5.03 or 5.06, 

(vii) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with
this Indenture, or 
 (viii) waive a continuing Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Notes. 
 (c) It is not necessary for Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but is
sufficient if their consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (d) An amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section will become
effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Issuers (or
the Trustee at the request and expense of the Issuers) will send to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Issuers will send supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of
the Issuers to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver. 

SECTION 9.03. Effect of Consent. (a) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder unless it is
of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment, supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the amendment, supplement or waiver will bind each Holder that has consented to it and
every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder. 
 (b) If an amendment, supplement or
waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Note and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Note
that reflects the changed terms. The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver shall not be affected or impaired by any failure to annotate
or exchange Notes in this fashion. 
 SECTION 9.04. Trustee’s Rights and Obligations. The Trustee is entitled to receive, in
addition to the documents required by Section 10.04, and will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating (i) that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and this Indenture, as amended by such amendment, supplement or waiver constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers enforceable against them in accordance with its terms and
(ii) in the case of an amendment, supplement or waiver in connection with Section 9.01(h) that such amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect, in any material respect as determined in good faith by the Company, the legal
rights of any Holder affected by such change. If the Trustee has received such Opinion of Counsel, it shall sign the amendment, 

  
 80 








 
supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver that affects
the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 9.05. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every
supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 SECTION 9.06.
Payments for Consents. Neither the Issuers nor any Affiliate may, 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, the Notes or the Guarantees unless such consideration is offered to be paid or paid to all Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend such term or provision within the time period set
forth in the solicitation documents relating to the consent, waiver or amendment. 
 ARTICLE X 

Miscellaneous 
 SECTION
10.01. Trust Indenture Act of 1939. This Indenture shall incorporate and be governed by the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of and to govern indentures qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Notes and the terms of this Indenture, the terms of this Indenture will control. 

SECTION 10.02. Holder Communications; Holder Actions. (a) The rights of the Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect
to this Indenture or the Notes are as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and the Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Trust Indenture Act §312(a). Neither the Issuers nor the Trustee will be held accountable by reason of any
disclosure of information as to names and addresses of the Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act. 
 (b) (i) Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent to amendment, supplement or waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a Holder (an “act”) may be evidenced by an instrument signed by the Holder delivered to
the Trustee. The fact and date of the execution of the instrument, or the authority of the person executing it, may be proved in any manner that the Trustee deems sufficient. 

(ii) The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders, which will be binding on all the Holders.

 (c) Any act by the Holder of any Note binds that Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of
the acting Holder, even if no notation thereof appears on the Note. Subject to Section 10.02(d), a Holder may revoke an act as to its Notes, but only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver or
other consequence of the act becomes effective. 

  
 81 








 (d) The Issuers may, but are not obligated to, fix a record date (which need not be within the
time limits otherwise prescribed by Trust Indenture Act §316(c)) for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to act with respect to any amendment or waiver or in any other regard, except that during the continuance of an Event of
Default, only the Trustee may set a record date as to notices of Default, any declaration or acceleration or any other remedies or other consequences of the Event of Default. If a record date is fixed, those Persons that were Holders at such record
date and only those Persons will be entitled to act, or to revoke any previous act, whether or not those Persons continue to be Holders after the record date. No act will be valid or effective for more than 90 days after the record date. 

SECTION 10.03. Notices. (a) Any notice or communication to the Issuers or the Company will be deemed given if in writing (i) when
delivered in person or (ii) five days after mailing when mailed by first class mail or (iii) when sent by facsimile transmission, with transmission confirmed. Notices or communications to a Guarantor will be deemed given if given to the
Company. Any notice to the Trustee will be effective only upon receipt. In each case the notice or communication should be addressed as follows:

The Issuers or the Trustee by notice to the other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications. 

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided with respect to published notices, any notice or communication to a Holder will be deemed given
when mailed to the Holder at its address as it appears on the Register by first class mail or, as to any Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, as agreed by the Issuers, the Trustee and DTC. Copies of any notice or communication
to a Holder, if given by the Issuers or the Company, will be mailed to the Trustee at the same time. Defect in mailing a notice or communication to any particular Holder will not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. 

(c) Where this Indenture provides for notice, the notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and the waiver will be the equivalent of the notice. Waivers of notice by Holders must be filed with the 

  
 82 








 
Trustee, but such filing is not a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waivers. 

SECTION 10.04. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Issuers or the Company to the
Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Issuers or the Company will furnish to the Trustee:

Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and 

(b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that all such conditions precedent relating to the proposed action have been complied with. 

SECTION 10.05. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition

 (a) a statement that each person signing the certificate or opinion has read the
covenant or condition and the related definitions; 
 (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation
upon which the statement or opinion contained in the certificate or opinion is based;

person, that person has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable the person to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 

(d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with; provided,
however, that an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officers’ Certificate or certificates of public officials with respect to matters of fact. 

Any certificate, statement or opinion of an Officer of the Issuers or the Company, as applicable, may be based, insofar as it relates to legal
matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such Officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such certificate, statement or opinion may be based as
aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters on information with respect to which is
in the possession of the Issuers, or the Company, as applicable, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer or officers of the Issuers, or the Company, as applicable, unless such counsel knows that the
certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are
erroneous. 

  
 83 








 Any certificate, statement or opinion of an Officer of the Issuers or the Company, as applicable,
or of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the Issuers or the Company, as applicable, unless such Officer or
counsel, as the case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which such certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable
care should know that the same are erroneous. 
 Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants filed with and
directed to the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is independent. 
 SECTION 10.06. Payment Date Other Than a Business
Day. If any payment with respect to a payment of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note (including any payment to be made on any date fixed for redemption or purchase of any Note) is due on a day which is not a Business Day,
then the payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such date, and no interest will accrue for the intervening period. 

SECTION 10.07. GOVERNING LAW; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THIS INDENTURE, THE GUARANTEES AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE ISSUERS, THE GUARANTORS, THE TRUSTEE, AND EACH NOTE HOLDER, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE GUARANTEES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

SECTION 10.08. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture or loan or

executed counterpart thereof. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. 

SECTION 10.11. Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes is

 2. The Notes. 

2.1 (a) Form and Dating. The Initial Notes were offered and sold by the Issuers pursuant to a Purchase Agreement. The Initial Notes
will be resold initially only to (i) QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and (ii) Persons other than U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S) in reliance on Regulation S under
the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). The Initial Notes may thereafter be transferred to, among others, QIBs and purchasers in reliance on Regulation S, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein. The Initial Notes
initially resold pursuant to Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more securities in registered, global form (collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Note”); and Initial Notes initially resold pursuant to
Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more temporary securities in registered, global form (collectively, the “Regulation S Temporary Global Note”), in each case without interest coupons and with the
global securities legend and the applicable restricted securities legend set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Initial Notes represented thereby with the Notes Custodian and registered
in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository, duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture. Until the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation
S Temporary Global Notes may be held only through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking, Société Anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”), as
indirect participants in DTC, unless transferred to a Person that takes delivery through a Rule 144A Global Note in accordance with the certification requirements described in the second succeeding paragraph below. Except as set forth in this
Section 2.1(a), beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note will not be exchangeable for interests in the Rule 144A Global Note or any other Note prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period and then, after the
expiration of the Restricted Period, may be exchanged for one or more permanent securities in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the 

  
 I-2 








 
“Regulation S Permanent Global Note” and, together with the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, the “Regulation S Global Note”) or a Definitive Note upon
(i) delivery to DTC of certification of compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Notes and pursuant to Regulation S as provided in the Indenture, (ii) a certification in form satisfactory to the Trustee that beneficial
ownership interests in such Regulation S Temporary Global Note are owned either by non-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who purchased such interests in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act and (iii) in the case
of an exchange for Definitive Notes, in compliance with the requirements described in Section 2.4(a) of this Appendix. 
 Definitive
Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the Indenture) to the effect that such transfer will comply with the
appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to such Notes. 
 Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in
Regulation S Global Notes may be exchanged for interests in Rule 144A Global Notes only if (1) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of Notes pursuant to Rule 144A and (2) the transferor of the beneficial interest in
the Regulation S Global Note first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the Indenture) to the effect that the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note is being transferred to a Person (a) whom the
transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB, (b) purchasing for its own account or the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and (c) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the
United States and other jurisdictions and that, if such transfer occurs prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred will be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg. 

Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a
Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the Indenture) to the effect that such transfer is
being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available). 
 The Rule 144A Global Note, the
Regulation S Global Note and any Global Notes in fully registered form without the Restricted Notes Legend are collectively referred to herein as “Global Notes.” The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to
time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depository or its nominee as hereinafter provided. 

(b) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(b) shall apply only to a Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.

 The Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(b), authenticate and deliver initially one or
more Global Notes that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Note or Global Notes or the nominee of such Depository and (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such
Depository’s instructions or held by the Trustee as custodian for the Depository. 

  
 I-3 








 Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no
rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depository or under such Global Note, and the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the
Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee
from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the exercise of
the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. 
 (c) Definitive Notes. Except as provided in this
Section 2.1 or Section 2.3 or 2.4, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Notes. 

2.2 Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver: (1) on the Issue Date, an aggregate principal amount of
$375,000,000 of 5.875% Senior Notes Due 2023, (2) any Additional Notes for an original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in the written order of the Issuers pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Indenture and (3) a Global
Note without the Restricted Notes Legend pursuant to Section 2.3(e) of this Appendix, in each case upon a written order of the Issuers signed by one Officer of each such Issuer. Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be
authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and, in the case of any issuance of Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Indenture, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with
Section 4.06 of the Indenture. 
 2.3 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request: 

(x) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or 

(y) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations, 

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided,
however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange: 
 (i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuers and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and 

(ii) if such Definitive Notes are required to bear a restricted securities legend, they are being transferred or exchanged
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as
applicable: 

  
 I-4 








 (A) if such Definitive Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for
registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or 
 (B) if such
Definitive Notes are being transferred to the Issuers, a certification to that effect; or 
 (C) if such Definitive Notes are
being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act:
(i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note) and (ii) if the Issuers so request, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set
forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i). 
 (b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest
in a Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or a Regulation S Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a
Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with: 

(i) certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note, that such Definitive Note is either (A) being
transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) being transferred after expiration of the Restricted Period by a Person who initially purchased such Note in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such
Note in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note; and 
 (ii) written instructions directing the
Trustee to make, or to direct the Notes Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(A)) or Regulation S Global Note (in the case of a
transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(B)) to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the
Depository account to be credited with such increase, 
 then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Notes Custodian to
cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Notes Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable,
to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or
Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Notes or Regulation S Global Notes, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate, upon written order of the Issuers in the form of an Officers’ Certificate thereof, a new Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount. 

  
 I-5 








 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. 

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in
accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Registrar a written
order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Note. The Registrar shall, in accordance with such
instructions instruct the Depository to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note
being transferred. 
 (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial
interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred. 

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global
Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor
Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. 
 (iv) In the event that Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes
pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Appendix, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on
the reverse of the Initial Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted
by the Issuers. 
 (v) Upon the Issuers’ satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in
order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, beneficial interests in a Transfer Restricted Global Note may be automatically exchanged into beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note without any action required by or on behalf of
the Holder (the “Automatic Exchange”) at any time on or after the date that is the 366th calendar day after (A) with respect to the Notes issued on the Issue Date, the Issue Date or (B) with respect to Additional Notes, if
any, the issue date of such Additional Notes, or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the “Automatic Exchange Date”). Upon the Issuers’ satisfaction that the Restricted Notes
Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, the Issuers may, at their election in their 

  
 I-6 








 
sole discretion, (i) provide written notice to the Trustee at least 10 calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange, instructing the Trustee to direct the Depositary to exchange all of the
outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Transfer Restricted Global Note to the Unrestricted Global Note, which the Company shall have previously otherwise made eligible for exchange with the DTC, (ii) provide prior written notice (the
“Automatic Exchange Notice”) to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the register of Holders at least 10 calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange (the “Automatic Exchange Notice Date”), which
notice must include (w) the Automatic Exchange Date, (x) the section of the Indenture pursuant to which the Automatic Exchange shall occur, (y) the “CUSIP” number of the Transfer Restricted Global Note from which such
Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred and the (z) “CUSIP” number of the Unrestricted Global Note into which such Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred, and (iii) on or prior to the date of the
Automatic Exchange, deliver to the Trustee for authentication one or more Unrestricted Global Notes, duly executed by the Issuers, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Global Notes to be
exchanged. At the Company’s request on no less than five calendar days’ notice, the Trustee shall deliver, in the Company’s name and at its expense, the Automatic Exchange Notice to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing
in the register of Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3, during the ten-day period between the Automatic Exchange Notice Date and the Automatic Exchange Date, no transfers or exchanges other than pursuant to
this Section 2.3 shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the Company. As a condition to any Automatic Exchange, the Company shall provide, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon, an Officers’ Certificate
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Automatic Exchange shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend shall no longer be
required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, and that the aggregate principal amount of the particular Transfer Restricted Global Note may be transferred to the particular Unrestricted Global Note by adjustment made on the
records of the Trustee, as DTC Custodian to reflect the Automatic Exchange. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.3(c)(v), the aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes shall be increased or decreased by
adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as Notes Custodian, to reflect the relevant increase or decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note resulting from the applicable exchange. The Transfer Restricted Global Note from which
beneficial interests are transferred pursuant to an Automatic Exchange shall be canceled following the Automatic Exchange. 
 (d)
Restrictions on Transfer of Regulation S Global Notes. During the Restricted Period, beneficial ownership interests in Regulation S Global Notes may only be sold, pledged or transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only
(i) to the Issuers, (ii) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S or (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of
any State of the United States.

form (together with the legend in the second paragraph of this Section 2.3(e)(i), the “Restricted Notes Legend”): 

THIS NOTE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
(THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS NOTE
MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. 
 THE
HOLDER OF THIS NOTE AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUERS THAT (A) THIS NOTE MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) TO THE ISSUERS, (II) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES
IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (III) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (IV) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE) OR (V) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH
OF CASES (I) THROUGH (V) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE FROM IT OF THE RESALE
RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE. 
 Each certificate evidencing a Note offered in reliance on Regulation S shall
bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 THIS NOTE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION ORIGINALLY EXEMPT
FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY U.S. PERSON EXCEPT


  
 I-8 








 
PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. TERMS USED ABOVE HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM IN
REGULATIONS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. 
 Each Definitive Note shall also bear the following additional legend: 

IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH
TRANSFER AGENT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS. 
 (ii) Upon any
sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note (including any Transfer Restricted Note represented by a Global Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall permit the transferee thereof to exchange such Transfer
Restricted Note for a Certificated Note that does not bear the legend set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Note, if the transferor thereof certifies in writing to the Registrar that such sale or
transfer was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note); and to the extent permitted by law at any time after one year has elapsed following the Issue Date, if the Notes are freely
tradeable without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or successor rule), the Registrar shall permit the removal of the Restricted Notes Legend and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Note
if the Issuers deliver to the Trustee an opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that the removal of the Restricted Notes Legend is in compliance with the Securities Act. 

(f) Cancelation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for
Definitive Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the Depository for cancelation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancelation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is
exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Notes
Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, to reflect such reduction. 
 (g)
No Obligation of the Trustee. 
 (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of
a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depository or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes
or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the 

  
 I-9 








 
payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made
only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the
applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 

(ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on
transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depository participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to
require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to
form with the express requirements hereof.

be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with
Section 2.3 hereof and (i) the Depository notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Note and the Depository fails to appoint a successor depository or if at any time such Depository
ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, in either case, and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuers within 120 days of such notice, (ii) a Default with respect to the Notes has occurred
and is continuing and DTC or the Issuers specifically request such exchange, (iii) the Issuers, in their sole discretion, notify the Trustee in writing that they elect to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes under the Indenture or
(iv) upon prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with the Indenture. 
 (b) Any
Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee located at its principal corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of
authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the Transfer Restricted Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.3(e) hereof, bear the
applicable restricted securities legend and definitive securities legend set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto unless that legend is not required by applicable law. 

  
 I-10

Note shall be entitled to grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes.

to pay the principal of this Note on April 1, 2023. 
 The Issuers promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each

 Interest will be payable semiannually
(to the holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date) on each interest payment date, commencing October 1, 2015. 

Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on this Note or the Note surrendered in exchange
for this Note (or, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a regular record date and the next interest payment date, from such interest payment date) or, if no interest has been paid, from
March 23, 2015. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

	3.	Indenture; Liens; Guarantees. 

 This is one of the Notes issued under an Indenture
dated as of March 23, 2015 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee. The terms of the
Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement
of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control. 

  
 I-1-6 








 The Notes are general obligations of the Issuers. The Indenture limits the original aggregate
principal amount of the Notes issued thereunder on the Issue Date to $375,000,000 but Additional Notes may be issued pursuant to the Indenture (subject to the conditions stated therein), and the originally issued Notes and all such Additional Notes
vote together for all purposes as a single class. This Note is guaranteed by the Guarantors as set forth in the Indenture. 
 Reference is
hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Issuers, Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders. 
  

	4.	Optional Redemption; Redemption with Proceeds of Equity Offering. 

 At any time or
from time to time prior to April 1, 2018, the Issuers will be entitled at their option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and
accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

At any time or from time to time on and after April 1, 2018, the Issuers will be entitled at their option to redeem all or a portion of
the Notes at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption date), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 1 of the years set forth below: 
  

					
	 Period
	  	Redemption Price	 
	 2018
	  	 	104.406	% 
	 2019
	  	 	102.938	% 
	 2020
	  	 	101.469	% 
	 2021 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 In addition, following the consummation of a Change of Control, the Issuers will be entitled to redeem the
Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, if at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding prior to such consummation are purchased
pursuant to a Change of Control Offer with respect to such Change of Control. 
 In addition, at any time prior to April 1, 2018, the
Issuers will be entitled at their option on one or more occasions to redeem the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes
Additional Notes, if any) originally issued at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 105.875%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with cash up to an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings; provided, however, that 

  
 I-1-7 









	 	(1)	at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than the Notes held, directly or
indirectly, by the Issuers or Affiliates of the Issuers); and 

  

	 	(2)	each such redemption occurs within 60 days after the date of the consummation of the related Equity Offering. 


“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents
the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”, for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no
maturity is within three months before or after April 1, 2018, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or
extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate
per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date, in each case calculated on the third
Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date, plus 0.50%. 
 “Applicable Premium” means with respect to a Note at
any redemption date, the excess of (A) the present value at such redemption date of (1) the redemption price of such Note on April 1, 2018 (as set forth above exclusive of any accrued interest) plus (2) all required
remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Note through April 1, 2018 (but excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate, over (B) the
principal amount of such Note on such redemption date. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury
security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes from the redemption date to April 1, 2018, that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a maturity most nearly equal to April 1, 2018. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, if clause (ii) of the definition of
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” is applicable, the average of three, or such lesser number as is obtained by the Issuers, Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date. 

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuers. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and two other primary U.S. Government securities dealers in New
York City (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), and 

  
 I-1-8 








 
their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that if any such entity ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Issuers shall substitute therefor another Primary
Treasury Dealer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury
Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day immediately preceding such redemption date. 
 If less than all of
the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the Applicable Procedures), unless such method is otherwise prohibited, in
which case, or by lot in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Notice of each redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail (or sent by electronic transmission in the case of Notes held in book entry form) to each Holder’s registered
address, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable redemption date. 
 No Notes of $2,000 in original principal amount
or less shall be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption may not be conditional; provided that any notice of redemption in connection with (i) any securities offering or any other financing or (ii) in connection with a transaction
(or series of related transactions) that constitutes a Change of Control, may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of the related securities offering, financing or Change of Control.

 If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancelation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the
date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
  

	5.	Repurchase Provisions. 

 If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each
Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Issuers to purchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 principal amount or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes on a date that is no
later than 90 days after notice of the Change of Control Triggering Event, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase as provided in, and subject to the
terms of, the Indenture; provided that the Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer substantially in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Indenture above and the third party promptly purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 

  
 I-1-9 









	6.	Mandatory Redemption. 

 There is no sinking fund for, or mandatory redemption of,
the Notes. 
  

	7.	Discharge and Defeasance. 

 If the Issuers deposit with the Trustee money and/or
U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the then outstanding principal of, premium and interest, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, the Issuers and the Guarantors may in certain
circumstances be discharged from the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees or may be discharged from certain of their obligations under certain provisions of the Indenture. 
  


	8.	Registered Form; Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

 The Notes are in registered
form only without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require a Holder,
among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Trustee will not be
required to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note. 
  

	9.	Persons Deemed Owners. 

 The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as
the owner of it for all purposes. 
  

	10.	Defaults and Remedies. 

 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Issuers occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically
become immediately due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies. 
  

	11.	Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. 

 Subject to certain exceptions, the
Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees may be amended or supplemented, or future compliance therewith may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any
Holder, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or 

  
 I-1-10 








 
inconsistency or if such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder. 
  

	12.	Trustee Dealings With Issuers. 

 The Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their affiliates, with the same rights as if it were not Trustee; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act),
it must eliminate such conflict, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign. 
  

	13.	No Recourse Against Others. 

 An incorporator, and any past, present or future
director, officer, partner, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Issuers or the Guarantors shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based
on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes. 

Each of the Trustee and the Holders (for itself individually and its successors and assigns) (a) shall not be entitled to assert any
claim or enforce any liability against and, subject to the proviso set forth at the end of this paragraph, waives any and all rights, obligations, claims, causes of action and demand against any general and limited partner(s) of the Company, any
direct or indirect general or limited partner of such general or limited partner(s), and any direct or indirect partners (general or limited), shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, trustees, affiliates, parents, employees, or agents
of the foregoing entities and of the Corporate Issuer or any Guarantor or against the assets of any such persons, on account of, or arising from, any obligation arising under or in connection with the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees, and
(b) shall not look to any such person for the enforcement of any obligation arising under or in connection with the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees; provided, however, the Trustee and each Holder (and their respective
successors and assigns) may look to, pursue, assert a claim against and/or otherwise enforce liability against any such person to recover any payments received by, or other property or assets in the possession of, such person resulting from the
payment of a dividend, the making of a distribution, or other similar action by any Issuer or Guarantor in violation of the terms of the Indenture or the Notes or due to any fraud or willful misconduct of such person. 

 

	14.	GOVERNING LAW. 

 THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

  
 I-1-11 









	15.	CUSIP Numbers. 

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

	16.	Authentication. 

 This Note is not valid until the Trustee (or Authenticating
Agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note. 
  

	17.	Abbreviations. 

 Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an
assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TENENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian) and U/G/M/A/ (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

 The Issuers will furnish a copy of the Indenture to any Holder upon written request and without charge.
