“Consolidated Interest Expense”
means, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum, without duplication, of:


 


(1)       consolidated
interest expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, to the extent such expense was deducted in computing
Consolidated Net Income (including amortization of original issue discount, the interest component of Capitalized Lease Obligations,
and net payments and receipts (if any) pursuant to interest rate Hedging Obligations and excluding amortization of deferred financing
fees, debt issuance costs, commissions, fees and expenses and expensing of any bridge, commitment or other financing fees); plus


 


(2)       consolidated
capitalized interest of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, whether paid or accrued; plus


 


(3)       commissions,
discounts, yield and other fees and charges Incurred in connection with any Receivables Financing which are payable to Persons
other than the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries; minus


 


(4)       interest
income for such period.


 


For purposes of this definition, interest

of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.


 


“Consolidated Leverage Ratio”
means, with respect to any Person, at any date the ratio of (i) Indebtedness (other than Qualified Non-Recourse Debt) of such
Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date of calculation (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP)
less the amount of cash and Cash Equivalents in excess of any Restricted Cash that would be stated on the balance sheet of such
Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries and held by such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date of determination
to (ii) EBITDA of such Person for the four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately
preceding such date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred. In the event that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
Incurs, repays, repurchases or redeems any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Consolidated
Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is made
(the “Consolidated Leverage Calculation Date”), then the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro
forma effect to such Incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness as if the same had occurred at the beginning
of the applicable four-quarter period; provided that the Issuer may elect pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered
to the Trustee to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being Incurred at such time, in which case
any subsequent Incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an
Incurrence at such subsequent time.

For purposes of making the computation referred
to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined
in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any operational changes, business realignment
projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has determined
to make and/or made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously
with the Consolidated Leverage Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments,
acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations, operational changes, business realignment
projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations (and the change of any associated Indebtedness and the change in EBITDA
resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period
any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary
since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
discontinued operation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or reorganization, in each
case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition,
disposition, discontinued operation, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative,
restructuring or reorganization had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.


 


For purposes of this definition, whenever
pro forma effect is to be given to any event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible
financial or accounting officer of the Issuer. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the
reasonable good faith determination of the Issuer as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, to reflect (1) operating
expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies (x) reasonably expected to result from the applicable event
and (y) that are expected to be realized within 12 months from the date of the transaction giving rise to the calculation,
and (2) all adjustments of the nature used in connection with the calculation of “Adjusted EBITDA” as set forth
in footnote 5 to the “Summary Consolidated Financial Data” under “Summary” in the Offering Memorandum to
the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such four-quarter period.


 


For purposes of this definition, any amount
in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for
the most recent 12-month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating
EBITDA for the applicable period.


 


“Consolidated Net Income”
means, with respect to any Person for any period, the aggregate of the Net Income of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries
for such period, on a consolidated basis; provided, however, that:

to that Restricted Subsidiary or its stockholders, unless such restrictions with respect to the payment of dividends or similar
distributions have been legally waived; provided that the Consolidated Net Income of such Person shall be increased by the
amount of dividends or other distributions or other payments actually paid in cash (or converted into cash) by any such Restricted
Subsidiary to such Person, to the extent not already included therein;

interests of third parties in any
non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary except to the extent of dividends declared or paid in respect of such period or any prior

of its Restricted Subsidiaries Incurs, repays, repurchases or redeems any Indebtedness (other than in the case of revolving credit
borrowings or revolving advances under any Qualified Receivables Financing, in which case interest expense shall be computed based
upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period) or issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated
but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”),
then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence, repayment, repurchase
or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance,


 




    	 	20	 



     

    

 


repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock
or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.


 


For purposes of making the computation referred
to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined
in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any operational changes, business realignment
projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has determined
to make and/or made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously
with the Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions,
mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations, operational changes, business realignment projects or initiatives,
restructurings or reorganizations (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting
therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person
that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning
of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, discontinued operation,
operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or reorganization, in each case with respect to an
operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued
operation, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or
reorganization had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.


 


For purposes of this definition, whenever
pro forma effect is to be given to any event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible
financial or accounting officer of the Issuer. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the
reasonable good faith determination of the Issuer as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, to reflect (1) operating
expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies (x) reasonably expected to result from the applicable event
and (y) that are expected to be realized within 12 months from the date of the transaction giving rise to the calculation,
and (2) all adjustments of the nature used in connection with the calculation of “Adjusted EBITDA” as set forth
in footnote 5 to the “Summary Consolidated Financial Data” under “Summary” in the Offering Memorandum to
the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such four-quarter period.


 


If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate
of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in
effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations
applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized
Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer
of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit


 




    	 	21	 



     

    

 


in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance
with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility
computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable
period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar
rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or,
if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.


 


For purposes of this definition, any amount
in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for
the most recent twelve-month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating
EBITDA for the applicable period.


 


“Fixed Charges” means,
with respect to any Person for any period, the sum, without duplication, of:


 


(1)       Consolidated
Interest Expense of such Person for such period, and


 


(2)       all

such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries.


 


“GAAP” means generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States set forth in the opinions and pronouncements of the Accounting Principles Board
of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and statements and pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board or in such other statements by such other entity as have been approved by a significant segment of the accounting profession,
which are in effect on the Issue Date. For the purposes of this Indenture, the term “consolidated” with respect
to any Person shall mean such Person consolidated with its Restricted Subsidiaries, and shall not include any Unrestricted Subsidiary,
but the interest of such Person in an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be accounted for as an Investment.


 


“guarantee” means a guarantee

“Indebtedness” means, with
respect to any Person:

any such balance that constitutes (i) a trade payable or similar obligation to a trade creditor Incurred in the ordinary course
of business, (ii) any earn-out obligations until such obligation becomes a liability on the balance sheet of such Person in
accordance with GAAP and (iii) liabilities accrued in the ordinary course of business), which purchase price is due more than
twelve months after the date of placing the property in service or taking delivery and title thereto, (d) in respect of Capitalized
Lease Obligations, or (e) representing any Hedging Obligations, if and to the extent that any of the foregoing indebtedness

thereto) of such Person prepared in accordance with GAAP;


 


(2)       to
the extent not otherwise included, any obligation of such Person to be liable for, or to pay, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise,

(3)       to
the extent not otherwise included, Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on any asset owned by such Person (whether

be the lesser of: (a) the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of such asset at such date of determination,
and (b) the amount of such Indebtedness of such other Person;


 


provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,
Indebtedness shall be deemed not to include (1) Contingent Obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and not
in respect of borrowed money; (2) deferred or prepaid revenues; (3) purchase price holdbacks in respect of a portion
of the purchase price of an asset to satisfy warranty or


 




    	 	23	 



     

    

 


other unperformed obligations of the respective seller; (4) Obligations
under or in respect of Qualified Receivables Financing; (5) any obligations under Hedging Obligations; provided that
such agreements are entered into for bona fide hedging purposes of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries (as determined in
good faith by the board of directors or senior management of the Issuer, whether or not accounted for as a hedge in accordance
with GAAP) and, in the case of any foreign exchange contract, currency swap agreement, futures contract, option contract or other
similar agreement, such agreements are related to business transactions of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries entered into
in the ordinary course of business and, in the case of any interest rate protection agreement, interest rate future agreement,
interest rate option agreement, interest rate swap agreement, interest rate cap agreement, interest rate collar agreement, interest
rate hedge agreement or other similar agreement or arrangement, such agreements substantially correspond in terms of notional amount,
duration and interest rates, as applicable, to Indebtedness of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries Incurred without violation

Subsidiaries; and (9) obligations under the Acquisition Documents.


 


Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture
to the contrary, Indebtedness shall not include, and shall be calculated without giving effect to, the effects of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 and related interpretations to the extent such effects would otherwise increase or
decrease an amount of Indebtedness for any purpose under this Indenture as a result of accounting for any embedded derivatives
created by the terms of such Indebtedness; and any such amounts that would have constituted Indebtedness under this Indenture but
for the application of this sentence shall not be deemed an Incurrence of Indebtedness under this Indenture.

case, the respective depositaries for such Global Notes, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by such Global

of those set forth in Section 2.2 of Appendix A in which any such Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional

    	 	48	 



     

    

 


such Global Note in whole or in

If any of the terms of any Additional Notes
are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, a copy of an appropriate record
of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or
prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or an indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional
Notes.


 


The Initial Notes, including any Additional
Notes, may, at the Issuer’s option, be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without
limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that if the Additional Notes are not fungible
with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes or U.S. securities laws purposes, the Additional Notes will have a
separate CUSIP number, if applicable.


 


Section 2.02     Form
and Dating. Provisions relating to the Initial Notes are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated
in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication
and (ii) any Additional Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form
of Exhibit A hereto, 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 Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor
is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer).
Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons
and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000.


 


Section 2.03     Execution
and Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Issuer signed
by one Officer of the Issuer (a) Initial Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000
and (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount to be determined at the
time of issuance and specified therein. Such order shall specify the amount of separate Note certificates to be authenticated,

the registered holder of each of the Notes and delivery instructions and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Indenture or Appendix A, any issuance of Additional Notes after the Issue Date shall
be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.


 


One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer
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.


 




    	 	49	 



     

    

 


A Note shall not be valid until an authorized
signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.


 


The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating
agents reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument
signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. 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 2.04     Registrar
and Paying Agent.


 


(a)       The
Issuer shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the
“Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency 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 Issuer may have one
or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars.
The term “Paying Agent” includes the Paying Agent and any additional paying agents. The Issuer initially appoints
the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and the Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.


 


(b)       The
Issuer may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement
shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails 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 Issuer or any of its domestically
organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


(c)       The
Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided,
however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor
as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may
be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent
until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at
any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying
Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.


 


Section 2.05     Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Note, the Issuer shall deposit
with each Paying Agent (or if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent,


 




    	 	50	 



     

    

 


segregate and hold in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Issuer shall require
each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of holders
or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the
Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer acts
as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto. The Issuer 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 such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for
the money delivered to the Trustee.


 


Section 2.06     Holder
Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of
the names and addresses of holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to 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 holders.


 


Section 2.07     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 and in compliance with Appendix A. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to
register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met. When Notes are
presented to the 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. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to
this Section. The Issuer shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes selected
for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes for
a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.


 


Prior to the due presentation for registration
of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name
a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any,
on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global
Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be
effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the holder of such


 




    	 	51	 



     

    

 




Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any holder of a beneficial
interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected
in a book entry.


 


All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture
as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.


 


Section 2.08         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 Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements
of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the holder (a) satisfies the Issuer and the Trustee
within a reasonable time after such holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register
a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer and the Trustee prior to the Note being
acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”)
and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Issuer and the Trustee.  If required by the Trustee or
the Issuer, such holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the
Issuer, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss or liability that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced
and subsequently presented or claimed for payment.  The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the holder for their expenses
in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note).  In
the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer
in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.


 


Every replacement Note is an additional obligation
of the Issuer.


 


The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive
and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.


 


Section 2.09         Outstanding
Notes.  Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it,
those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding.  Subject to Section 13.06,
a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.


 


If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08
(other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive
proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.  A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding
upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08.


 




    	 	52	 



     


    

 


If a 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 interest payable
on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent
is prohibited from paying such money to the holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that
date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.


 


Section 2.10         [Reserved].


 


Section 2.11         Cancellation.  The
Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and each 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 all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled
Notes in accordance with its customary procedures.  The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed,
paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes
other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.


 


Section 2.12         Defaulted
Interest.  If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest
then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner.  The Issuer
may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are holders on a subsequent special record date.  The Issuer 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 or cause to be mailed to each affected holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and
the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.


 


Section 2.13         CUSIP
Numbers, ISINs, Etc.  The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code”
numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use any such 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 that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption
shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Issuer shall advise the Trustee of any change
in any such CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.


 


Section 2.14         Calculation
of Principal Amount of Notes.  The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be
the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination.  With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver,
approval or other action of the holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall
be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination,
of Notes, the holders of which have so consented, by (b) the


 




    	 	53	 



     


    

 


aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of
the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 13.06
of this Indenture.  Any such calculation of the applicable premium made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made
by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.


 


Section 2.15         Depositary.  None
of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating
to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Note in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.  The Trustee, Paying Agent and the Registrar shall be entitled
to deal with any depositary (including any Depository), and any nominee thereof, that is the holder of any such global Note for
all purposes of this Indenture relating to such global Note (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
and Additional Amounts, if any, the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership
interest in such global Note) as the sole holder of such global Note and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof.  None
of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of any such
depositary with respect to such global Note, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial
ownership interests in respect of any such global Note, for any transactions between such depositary and any participant in such
depositary or between or among any such depositary, any such participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in
such global Note or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such global Note.


 


Article III


 


REDEMPTION


 


Section 3.01         Redemption.  The
Notes may be redeemed, in whole or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and at the redemption prices set forth
in Paragraph 6 of the forms of Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference
and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.


 


Section 3.02         Applicability
of Article.  Redemption of Notes at the election of the Issuer or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision
of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article III.


 


Section 3.03         Notices
to Trustee.  If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Paragraph 6
of the Note, it shall notify the Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant
to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and
(iv) the redemption price.  The Issuer shall give notice to the Trustee provided for in this paragraph at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date if the redemption is pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the Note, unless
a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee.  The Issuer may also include a request in such


 




    	 	54	 



     


    

 


Officer’s Certificate that the Trustee give the notice of
redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided
in Section 3.05.  If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall
be selected by the Issuer and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not fewer than 15 days after the date of notice
to the Trustee.  Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any holder
and shall thereby be void and of no effect.


 


Section 3.04         Selection
of Notes to Be Redeemed.  In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made
by the Trustee on a by lot basis to the extent practicable subject to the procedures of the Depository; provided that no
Notes of $2,000 (and integral multiples in excess thereof) or less shall be redeemed in part.  The Trustee shall make
the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.  The Trustee may select for redemption portions
of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000.  Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects
shall be in amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Provisions of this Indenture that
apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.  The Trustee shall notify
the Issuer promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.


 


Section 3.05         Notice
of Optional Redemption.


 


(a)          At
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the Note, the Issuer shall mail
or cause to be mailed by first-class mail, or delivered electronically if held by the Depository, a notice of redemption to each
holder whose Notes are to be redeemed.


 


Any such notice shall identify the Notes to be
redeemed and shall state:


 


(i)          the
redemption date;


 


(ii)         the
redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date;


 


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


 


(iv)        that
Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, plus accrued interest;


 


(v)         if
fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the particular Notes
to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding
after such partial redemption;


 


(vi)        that,
unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
redemption date;


 




    	 	55	 



     


    

 


(vii)       the
CUSIP number, ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed;


 


(viii)      that
no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number or ISIN and/or “Common Code” number,
if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and


 


(ix)         if
such redemption is subject to conditions precedent, how the Issuer intends to proceed in the event that one or more of such conditions
are not met.


 


(b)          At
the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s
expense.  In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section at least
one Business Day prior to the date such notice is to be provided to holders in the final form such notice is to be delivered to
holders and such notice may not be canceled once delivered to holders of Notes.


 


Section 3.06         Effect
of Notice of Redemption.  Once notice of redemption is mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with Section 3.05,
Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice, except
as provided in the penultimate sentence of paragraph 6 of the Notes.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes
shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest, to, but not including, the redemption
date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest
Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant Record Date.  Failure
to give notice or any defect in the notice to any holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other holder.


 


Section 3.07         Deposit
of Redemption Price.  With respect to any Notes, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption
date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall
segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes or portions thereof
to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer
to the Trustee for cancellation.  On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of,
plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed, unless the Paying Agent is prohibited
from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.


 


Section 3.08         Notes
Redeemed in Part.  Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate for the holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the
Note surrendered.


 




    	 	56	 



     


    

 


Section 3.09         Redemption
for Changes in Withholding Taxes.


 


The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole but
not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to the
holders, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to the redemption date and all Additional Amounts, (if any), which otherwise would be payable, if on the next date on which
any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Issuer would be required to pay Additional Amounts, and the Issuer cannot
avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it, as a result of:


 


(a)          any
amendment to, or change in, the laws or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of a relevant Tax Jurisdiction which
is announced and becomes effective after the date of the Offering Memorandum (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax
Jurisdiction on a date after the date of the Offering Memorandum, such later date); or


 


(b)          any
amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application regarding such laws, regulations or rulings, including by
virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction which is announced and becomes effective after the
date of the Offering Memorandum (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the date of the
Offering Memorandum, such later date).


 


The Issuer will not give any such notice of redemption
earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a
payment in respect of the Notes were then due, and, at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts
must remain in effect.


 


Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing
of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee (i) an opinion
of independent tax counsel, the choice of such counsel to be subject to the prior written approval of the Trustee (such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld) to the effect that there has been such change or amendment which would entitle the Issuer to redeem
the Notes hereunder and (ii) a certificate signed by an officer of the Issuer stating that the Issuer cannot avoid any obligation
to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it.


 


Article IV


 


COVENANTS


 


Section 4.01         Payment
of Notes.


 


(a)          The
Issuer shall promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in
this Indenture.  An installment of principal of or interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date
the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds as of 12:00 p.m. New York City time money


 




    	 	57	 



     


    

 


sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due and the Trustee
or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the holders on that date pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture.


 


(b)          The
Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue
installments of interest at the same rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful.


 


(c)          All
payments made by the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction
for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties,
interest and other liabilities related thereto) (collectively, “Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction
of such Taxes is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or
on behalf of (1) any jurisdiction in which the Issuer is then incorporated, or resident or doing business for tax purposes
or any department or political subdivision thereof or therein or (2) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made
or any department or political subdivision thereof or therein (each, a “Tax Jurisdiction”), will at any time
be required to be made from any payments made by the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes, including payments of principal,
redemption price, purchase price, interest or premium, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”)
as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each holder after such withholding or
deduction (including any such deduction or withholding from such Additional Amounts) will equal the respective amounts which would
have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that
no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:


 


(i)          any
Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the
holder or the beneficial owner of the Notes and the relevant Tax Jurisdiction (other than solely from the mere acquisition, ownership,
holding or disposition of such Note, the enforcement of rights under such Note and/or the receipt of any payments in respect of
such Note);


 


(ii)         any
Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the failure of the holder or the beneficial owner of the Notes,
following the Issuer’s written request to the holder, at least 30 days before any such withholding or deduction would be
payable, to comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements, whether required by statute,
treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Tax Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate
of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Tax Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the
holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Tax Jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent the holder or the beneficial
owner is legally entitled to provide such certification or documentation;


 




    	 	58	 



     


    

 


(iii)        any
Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a Note for payment (where presentation is required)
more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the holder (except to the extent that the holder
would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period);


 


(iv)        any
estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax or assessment;


 


(v)         any
Taxes payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to any Note; or


 


(vi)        any
combination of the above clauses (i) through (v).


 


(d)          The
Issuer will pay and indemnify the holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer, court or documentary taxes,
or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto)
which are levied by any jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, issuance, or registration of any of the Notes, this Indenture,
or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect to, or enforcement of, the
Notes (such sum being recoverable from the Issuer as a liquidated sum payable as a debt).


 


(e)          If
the Issuer becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect
to the Notes, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee on a date which is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless
the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer shall notify
the Trustee promptly thereafter) notice stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be
so payable. The notice must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay Additional
Amounts to holders on the relevant payment date. The Issuer will provide the Trustee with documentation evidencing the payment
of Additional Amounts.


 


(f)          The
Issuer will make all withholdings and deductions (within the time period and in the minimum amount) required by law and will remit
the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer will use its reasonable
efforts to obtain Tax receipts from each Tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. The Issuer
will furnish to the Trustee (or to a holder upon request), within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so
deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Issuer, or if, notwithstanding such entity’s
efforts to obtain receipts, receipts are not obtained, other evidence of payments (reasonably satisfactory to Trustee) by such
entity.


 


(g)          The
obligations described under Sections 4.01(c), (d), (e) and (f) shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this
Indenture and shall apply,


 




    	 	59	 



     


    

 


mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person
to the Issuer is incorporated, or resident or doing business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which such Person
makes any payment on the Notes and any department or political subdivision thereof or therein.


 


Section 4.02         Reports
and Other Information.


 


(a)          For
so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall provide to the Trustee and, upon request, to beneficial owners of the Notes
a copy of all of the information and reports referred to below:


 


(i)          within
15 days after the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for non-accelerated filers, annual reports of
the Reporting Entity for such fiscal year containing the information that would have been required to be contained in an annual
report on Form 20-F or Form 10-K (or any successor or comparable form) if the Reporting Entity had been a reporting company under
the Exchange Act, except to the extent permitted to be excluded by the SEC;


 


(ii)         within
15 days after the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for non-accelerated filers, quarterly reports
of the Reporting Entity for such fiscal quarter containing the information that would have been required to be contained in a quarterly
report on Form 6-K or 10-Q (or any successor or comparable form) if the Reporting Entity had been a reporting company under the
Exchange Act, except to the extent permitted to be excluded by the SEC; and


 


(iii)        within
15 days after the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for filing current reports on Form 8-K, current
reports of the Reporting Entity containing substantially all of the information that would be required to be filed in a Current
Report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act on the Issue Date pursuant to Sections 1, 2 and 4, Items 5.01, 5.02 (other than
compensation information), 5.03(b) and Item 9.01 (only to the extent relating to any of the foregoing) of Form 8-K if the Reporting
Entity had been a reporting company under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that no such current reports will
be required to be furnished if the Issuer determines in its good faith judgment that such event is not material to holders or the
business, assets, operations, financial position or prospects of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;
provided further that the Reporting Entity shall not be obligated to file or provide Current Reports on Form 8-K until after
such time as the Issuer has determined that it is no longer a “foreign private issuer” under the Securities Act, or
such determination is otherwise made by the SEC;


 


In addition to providing such information to the
Trustee, the Issuer shall make available to the holders, prospective investors, market makers affiliated with any initial purchaser
of the Notes and securities analysts the information required to be provided pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii), by posting such information


 




    	 	60	 



     


    

 


to its website (or the website of any of the Issuer’s parent
companies, including the Reporting Entity) or on IntraLinks or any comparable online data system or website.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) neither
the Issuer nor another Reporting Entity will be required to furnish any information, certificates or reports that would otherwise
be required by Section 302 or Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related Items 307 or 308 of Regulation
S-K, (B) such reports will not be required to contain financial information required by Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation
S-X, (C) such reports shall be subject to exceptions, exclusions and other differences consistent with the presentation of
financial and other information in this offering memorandum and shall not be required to present compensation or beneficial ownership
information and (D) the Issuer’s determination that it is a “foreign private issuer” (as such term is defined
in the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) shall be conclusive with respect to the determination of which Exchange Act form or
forms of reports, information and documents are required to be provided pursuant to this covenant, until such time as the Issuer
or the SEC determines that the Issuer does not qualify as a “foreign private issuer” (as so defined) for purposes of
providing such reports, information and documents.


 


(b)          The
financial statements, information and other documents required to be provided as described in Section 4.02(a) may be those
of (i) the Issuer or (ii) any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (any such entity, a “Reporting Entity”),
so long as in the case of (ii) such direct or indirect parent of the Issuer shall not conduct, transact or otherwise engage,
or commit to conduct, transact or otherwise engage, in any business or operations other than its direct or indirect ownership of
all of the Equity Interests in, and its management of the Issuer; provided that, if the financial information so furnished relates
to such direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, the same is accompanied by a reasonably detailed description of the quantitative
differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.


 


(c)          The
Issuer will make such information available to prospective investors upon request.  The Issuer has agreed that, for so
long as any Notes remain outstanding during any period when neither it nor another Reporting Person is subject to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise permitted to furnish the SEC with certain information pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of
the Exchange Act, it will furnish to the holders of the Notes and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information
required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will
be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee, the holders and prospective investors if the Issuer
or another Reporting Entity has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system (or any successor system) and such
reports are publicly available.  In addition, the requirements of this Section 4.02 shall be deemed satisfied by
the posting of reports that would be required to be provided  on the Issuer’s website (or that of any of the
Issuer’s parent companies, including the Reporting Entity).


 




    	 	61	 



     


    

 


The Issuer will also hold a quarterly conference
call to discuss its financial results with holders of the Notes, beginning with a discussion of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2015.  The conference call will not be later than five business days from the date on which the Issuer’s financial
information is filed or otherwise made available to holders of the Notes in accordance with this Indenture. No fewer than two days
prior to the conference call, the Issuer shall issue a press release to the appropriate wire services announcing the time, date
and access details of such conference call.


 


Delivery of such reports, information and documents
to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice
of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance
with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the Officer’s Certificates).  The
Trustee is under no duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure compliance with the provision of this Indenture
or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein.


 


Section 4.03         Limitation
on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.


 


(a)         (i) The
Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including
Acquired Indebtedness) or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock; and (ii) the Issuer shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Issuer may Incur Indebtedness (including
Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer may Incur Indebtedness
(including Acquired Indebtedness), issue shares of Disqualified Stock or issue shares of Preferred Stock, in each case if the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio of the Issuer for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements
are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred
Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application
of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock
had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter
period.


 


(b)         The
limitations set forth in Section 4.03(a) shall not apply to:


 


(i)          the
Incurrence by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Bank Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the
Secured Vessel Debt Cap (as calculated on the date of the relevant Incurrence under this Section 4.03(b)(i)) at the time of
Incurrence;


 


(ii)         Indebtedness
existing on the Issue Date (other than Indebtedness described in clause (i) of this Section 4.03(b)), including the Notes;


 




    	 	62	 



     


    

 


(iii)        Indebtedness
(including Capitalized Lease Obligations) Incurred by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, Disqualified Stock issued
by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and Preferred Stock issued by any Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer to
finance (whether prior to or within 270 days after) the acquisition, lease, construction, repair, replacement or improvement of
property (real or personal) or equipment (whether through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning
such assets) in an aggregate principal amount or liquidation preference, which when aggregated with the principal amount or liquidation
preference of all other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock then outstanding (including any Refinancing Indebtedness
with respect thereto) and Incurred pursuant to this clause (iii), does not exceed the greater of $150 million or 2.5% of Total
Assets at the time of Incurrence (it being understood that any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (iii) shall cease
to be deemed Incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (iii) but shall be deemed Incurred for purposes of Section 4.03(a)
and after the first date on which the Issuer, or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, could have Incurred such Indebtedness
under Section 4.03(a) without reliance upon this clause (iii));


 


(iv)        Indebtedness
Incurred by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of

(xiii)       any
guarantee by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of Indebtedness or other obligations of the Issuer or any of

year following the last maturity date of any Notes then outstanding were instead due on such date;


 


(2)         to
the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (a) Indebtedness junior to the Notes, such Refinancing Indebtedness is
junior to the Notes, or (b) Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, such Refinancing Indebtedness is Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock;

$150 million and 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of Incurrence (plus, in the case of any Refinancing Indebtedness, the Additional
Refinancing Amount) (it being understood that any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (xxii) shall cease to be deemed
Incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (xxii) but shall be deemed Incurred for purposes of Section 4.03(a)
from and after the first date on which the Issuer, or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the


 




    	 	67	 



     


    

 


case may be, could have Incurred such Indebtedness under
Section 4.03(a) without reliance upon this clause (xxii)).


 


(c)         Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, no Restricted Subsidiary may Incur unsecured Indebtedness or issue shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred
Stock pursuant to Section 4.03(a), unless such Restricted Subsidiary shall have guaranteed the Notes.


 


(d)         For
purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03:


 


(1)         in
the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more
than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xxii) of Section 4.03(b)
or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify,
or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if Incurred at such later time), such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred
Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03;


 


(2)         at
the time of Incurrence, the Issuer will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types
of Indebtedness described in Section 4.03(a) and (b) (or any portion thereof) without giving pro forma effect
to the Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to any other clause or Section 4.03(b) (or any portion thereof) when calculating the
amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to any such clause or Section 4.03(a) (or any portion thereof);


 


(3)         in
connection with the Incurrence or issuance, as applicable, of (x) revolving loan Indebtedness under the first paragraph of
this covenant or (y) any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock under clause (xv) above, the Issuer or applicable
Restricted Subsidiary may elect at any time prior to the actual Incurrence of such Indebtedness or issuance of such Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, to designate such Incurrence or issuance as having occurred on the date of such election,
and any related subsequent actual Incurrence or issuance will be deemed for all purposes under the Indenture to have been Incurred
on the date of such election;


 


(4)         if
any Indebtedness denominated in U.S. dollars is exchanged, converted or refinanced into Indebtedness denominated in euros, then
(in connection with such exchange, conversion or refinancing, and thereafter), the U.S. dollar amount limitations set forth in
any of clauses (i) through (xxii) above with respect to such exchange, conversion or refinancing shall be deemed to be
the amount of euros into which such Indebtedness has been exchanged, converted or refinanced at the time of such exchange, conversion
or refinancing; and


 


(5)         if
any Indebtedness denominated in euros is exchanged, converted or refinanced into Indebtedness denominated in U.S. dollars, then
(in connection


 




    	 	68	 



     


    

 


with such exchange, conversion or refinancing, and thereafter),
the euro amount limitations set forth in any of clauses (i) through (xxii) above with respect to such exchange,
conversion or refinancing shall be deemed to be the amount of U.S. dollars into which such Indebtedness has been exchanged, converted
or refinanced at the time of such exchange, conversion or refinancing.


 


Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted
value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable,
amortization of original issue discount, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding
solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit
relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be
included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented
by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03.


 


For purposes of determining compliance with any
U.S. dollar- or Euro-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness other than as provided in clauses (4) and (5) above,
the U.S. dollar- or Euro-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based
on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first
committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar or euro equivalent, as applicable), in the case of revolving
credit debt.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 4.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries
may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness,
solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.


 


Section 4.04         Limitation
on Restricted Payments.


 


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

than (A) dividends or distributions by the Issuer payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the
Issuer; or (B) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution
payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share


 




    	 	69

payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement of (A) Subordinated Indebtedness in anticipation of
satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of
such payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement and (B) Indebtedness permitted under clauses (vi) and
(viii) of Section 4.03(b)); or


 


(iv)        make
any Restricted Investment


 


(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through
(iv) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of such Restricted
Payment:


 


(1)         no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;


 


(2)         immediately
after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the Issuer could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under
Section 4.03(a); and


 


(3)         such
Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries
after the June 30, 2009 (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (i), (ii) (with respect to the payment
of dividends on Refunding Capital Stock (as defined below) pursuant to clause (C) thereof), (vi)(C), (viii), (xiii)(B) and
(xvii) of Section 4.04(b), but excluding all other Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.04(b)), is less than
the amount equal to the Cumulative Credit.


 


(b)         The
provisions of Section 4.04(a) shall not prohibit:


 


(i)          the
payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of declaration such
payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;


 


(ii)         (A)         the
redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of any Equity Interests (“Retired Capital Stock”) or
Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer, any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of,
the substantially concurrent sale of, Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer or contributions
to the equity capital of


 




    	 	70	 



     


    

 


the Issuer (other than any Disqualified Stock or any Equity
Interests sold to a Subsidiary of the Issuer) (collectively, including any such contributions, “Refunding Capital Stock”),


 


(B)         the
declaration and payment of dividends on the Retired Capital Stock out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other
than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer) of Refunding Capital Stock, and


 


(C)         if
immediately prior to the retirement of Retired Capital Stock, the declaration and payment of dividends thereon was permitted under
clause (vi) of this Section 4.04(b) and not made pursuant to clause (ii)(B), the declaration and payment of
dividends on the Refunding Capital Stock (other than Refunding Capital Stock the proceeds of which were used to redeem, repurchase,
retire or otherwise acquire any Equity Interests of any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer) in an aggregate amount per year
no greater than the aggregate amount of dividends per annum that were declarable and payable on such Retired Capital Stock immediately
prior to such retirement;


 


(iii)       the
redemption, repurchase, defeasance, or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer made by exchange
for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, new Indebtedness of the Issuer which is Incurred in accordance
with Section 4.03 so long as:


 


(A)         the
principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount (or accreted
value, if applicable), plus any accrued and unpaid interest, of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased,
acquired or retired for value (plus the amount of any premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument governing the
Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired, any tender premiums, plus any defeasance costs,
fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith),

Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes, at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged,
redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value,


 


(C)         such
Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity date equal to or later than the earlier of (x) the final scheduled maturity date
of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired and (y) 91 days following the last maturity
date of any Notes then outstanding, and


 


(D)         such
Indebtedness has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time Incurred which is not less than the shorter of (x) the remaining
Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Subordinated


 




    	 	71	 



     


    

 


Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired
or retired and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity that would result if all payments of principal on the Subordinated
Indebtedness being redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired that were due on or after the date that is one year following
the last maturity date of any Notes then outstanding were instead due on such date;


 


(iv)        a
Restricted Payment to pay for the repurchase, retirement or other acquisition for value of Equity Interests of the Issuer or any
direct or indirect parent of the Issuer held by any future, present or former employee, director, officer, manager or consultant

plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or other agreement or arrangement; provided,
however, that the aggregate Restricted Payments made under this clause (iv) do not exceed the greater of $100
million and 1.0% of Total Assets in any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year being permitted to be carried over
to succeeding calendar years); provided, further, however, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased
by an amount not to exceed:


 


(A)         the
cash proceeds received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from the sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
Stock) of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (to the extent contributed to the Issuer) to employees, officers,
directors, managers or consultants of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer
that occurs after the Issue Date (provided that the amount of such cash proceeds utilized for any such repurchase, retirement,
other acquisition or dividend will not increase the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a)(iii)),
plus


 


(B)         the
cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (to the
extent contributed to the Issuer) or the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date;


 


provided that the Issuer may elect to apply all or any portion
of the aggregate increase contemplated by clauses (A) and (B) above in any calendar year; and provided, further,
that cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from any present or former employees, directors,
officers, managers or consultants of the Issuer, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or its direct or indirect parents in connection
with a repurchase of Equity Interests of the Issuer or any of its direct or indirect parents will not be deemed to constitute a
Restricted Payment for purposes of this Section 4.04 or any other provision of this Indenture;


 


(v)         the
declaration and payment of dividends or distributions to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or
any of its


 




    	 	72	 



     


    

 


Restricted Subsidiaries issued or incurred in accordance
with Section 4.03 to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of “Fixed Charges”;


 


(vi)       (A)         the
declaration and payment of dividends or distributions to holders of any class or series of Designated Preferred Stock (other than
Disqualified Stock) issued after the Issue Date;

Restricted Payment to any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, the proceeds of which will be used to fund the payment of dividends
to holders of any class or series of Designated Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of any direct or indirect parent
of the Issuer issued after the Issue Date; provided that the aggregate amount of dividends declared and paid pursuant to
this clause (B) does not exceed the net cash proceeds actually received by the Issuer from any such sale of Designated Preferred

statements are available immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Designated Preferred Stock, after giving effect to
such issuance (and the payment of dividends or distributions) on a pro forma basis, the Issuer would have had a Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.00;


 


(vii)      Investments
in Unrestricted Subsidiaries having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer), taken together

dividends, interest, distributions, returns of principal, profits on sale, repayments, income and similar amounts) actually received
in respect of any such Investment made pursuant to this clause (vii) (with the Fair Market Value of each Investment being
measured at the time made and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) that does
not otherwise increase the Cumulative Credit; provided, however, that if any Investment pursuant to this clause (vii) is
made in any Person that is not an Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary at the date of the making of such Investment and such Person
becomes an Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary after such date, such Investment shall thereafter be deemed to have been made pursuant
to clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Investments and shall cease to have been made pursuant to this clause (vii) for
so long as such Person continues to be an Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(viii)     the
payment of dividends on the Issuer’s common stock (or a Restricted Payment to any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer

indirect parent of the Issuer, other than public offerings with respect to the Issuer’s (or such direct or indirect parent’s)
common stock registered on Form S-4, Form F-4 or Form S-8 and other than any public sale constituting an Excluded Contribution;


 


(ix)       Restricted

Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount, when taken together with all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause
(x) that are at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $300 million and 5.0% of Total Assets at the time of such
Restricted Payment, plus, in the case of Restricted Payments constituting Investments, an amount equal to any returns (including
dividends, interest, distributions, returns of principal, profits on sale, repayments, income and similar amounts) actually received
in respect of any such Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (x) constituting Investments; provided that
an amount equal to any such Restricted Payment made as a result of such increase of this clause (x) from any returns shall
decrease the Cumulative Credit only to the extent such return previously increased the Cumulative Credit;


 


(xi)       the
distribution, as a dividend or otherwise, of shares of Capital Stock of, or Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Issuer by, Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

amounts required for any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer to pay fees and expenses (including franchise or similar taxes)
required to maintain its corporate existence, customary salary, bonus and other benefits payable to, and indemnities provided on
behalf of, officers and employees of any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer and general corporate operating and overhead expenses

(B)         in
amounts required for any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, if applicable, to pay interest and/or principal on Indebtedness

considered Indebtedness of, the Issuer Incurred in accordance
with Section 4.03; and


 


(C)         in
amounts required for any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer to pay fees and expenses, other than to Affiliates of the Issuer,
related to any unsuccessful equity or debt offering of such parent;


 


(xiv)      repurchases
of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options or warrants if such Equity Interests represent a portion of
the exercise price of such options or warrants;

or distributions to dissenting stockholders pursuant to applicable law, pursuant to or in connection with a consolidation, amalgamation,
merger or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that
complies with Section 5.01; provided that as a result of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer of assets,
the Issuer shall have made a Change of Control Offer (if required by this Indenture) and that all Notes tendered by holders in
connection with such Change of Control Offer have been repurchased, redeemed or acquired for value;


 


provided, however, that at the time of, and after
giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (vi)(B), (vii), (x), (xi) and (xiii)(B) of this Section 4.04(b),
no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; provided further that any
Restricted Payments made with property other than cash shall be calculated using the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith
by the Issuer) of such property.


 


(c)       The
Issuer will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the definition of “Unrestricted
Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments
by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be
Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.”


 




    	 	75	 



     


    

 


Such designation will only be permitted if a Restricted Payment
or Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of
an Unrestricted Subsidiary.


 


Section 4.05         Dividend
and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.  The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance
or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:


 


(a)          (i) pay
dividends or make any other distributions to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (1) on its Capital Stock; or
(2) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; or (ii) pay any Indebtedness
owed to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;


 


(b)          make
loans or advances to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or


 


(c)          sell,
lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;


 


except in each case for such encumbrances or restrictions
existing under or by reason of:


 


(1)         contractual
encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Issue Date, including pursuant to the NCLC Group Credit Facilities and the 5.25%
Notes, and any related documents, and any similar contractual encumbrances or restrictions effected by any amendments, modifications,
restatements, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of such agreements or instruments;


 


(2)         this
Indenture or the Notes;


 


(3)         applicable
law or any applicable rule, regulation or order;


 


(4)         any
agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary which was in existence at the time
of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized
to consummate such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets
of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired;


 


(5)         contracts
or agreements for the sale of assets, including any restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an
agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary;


 




    	 	76	 



     


    

 


(6)         Secured
Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Sections 4.03 and 4.12 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose
of the assets securing such Indebtedness;


 


(7)         restrictions
on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;


 


(8)         customary
provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;


 


(9)         purchase
money obligations for property acquired and Capitalized Lease Obligations in the ordinary course of business;


 


(10)        customary
provisions contained in leases, licenses and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;


 


(11)        any
encumbrance or restriction of a Receivables Subsidiary effected in connection with a Qualified Receivables Financing; provided,
however, that such restrictions apply only to such Receivables Subsidiary;


 


(12)        other
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary so long as such encumbrances or restrictions contained
in any agreement or instrument will not materially affect the Issuer’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest
payments on the Notes (as determined in good faith by the Issuer), provided that such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock is permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03;


 


(13)        any
Restricted Investment not prohibited by Section 4.04 and any Permitted Investment; or


 


(14)        any
encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above imposed by any amendments,
modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments
or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (13) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, no more
restrictive 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, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.


 


For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.05, (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends
or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions
on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer
to other


 




    	 	77	 



     


    

 


Indebtedness Incurred by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary
shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.


 


Section 4.06         Asset
Sales.


 


(a)          The
Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless (x) the
Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least
equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and (y) at
least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form
of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:


 


(i)          any
liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the Notes thereto)
of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes)
that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets,


 


(ii)         any
notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer from
such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer into cash within 180 days of the receipt
thereof (to the extent of the cash received),


 


(iii)        Indebtedness
of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Issuer
and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with the Asset
Sale,


 


(iv)        consideration
consisting of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) received after the
Issue Date from Persons who are not the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Asset Sale and that is cancelled
(without duplication of clause (i) hereto), and


 


(v)         any
Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate
Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration
received pursuant to this Section 4.06(a)(v) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of 5.0% of Total
Assets and $300 million at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each
item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in
value),


 


shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this
Section 4.06(a).


 




    	 	78	 



     


    

 


(b)         Within
12 months after the Issuer’s or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset
Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option:


 


(i)          to
repay (A) Indebtedness constituting Secured Indebtedness (including Indebtedness under any Bank Indebtedness) and, if the
Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, (B) Indebtedness
of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor and/or Indebtedness of the Issuer that is guaranteed by a Subsidiary
that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, (C) Notes Obligations, or (D) other Pari Passu Indebtedness (provided that
if the Issuer shall so reduce Obligations under unsecured Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Notes
Obligations as provided under the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, through open-market purchases (provided that such
purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof or, in the event that the Notes were issued with significant original
issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for
an Asset Sale Offer) to all holders to purchase, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof or, in the event
that the Notes were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, the pro rata principal amount of Notes; or


 


(ii)         to
make an Investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such Investment is in the form of the acquisition of
Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer), assets, or
property or capital expenditures, in each case (A) used or useful in a Similar Business or (B) that replace the properties
and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale or to reimburse the cost of any of the foregoing incurred on or after the date
on which the Asset Sale giving rise to such Net Proceeds was contractually committed.


 


In the case of Section 4.06(b)(ii), a binding
commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment; provided that
in the event such binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, the
Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another binding commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within six
months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment; provided, further that the Issuer or
such Restricted Subsidiary may only enter into a Second Commitment under the foregoing provision one time with respect to each
Asset Sale and to the extent such Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are
applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.


 


Pending the final application of any such Net
Proceeds, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility,
if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.  Any Net Proceeds from
any Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of this


 




    	 	79	 



     


    

 


Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such
Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b), shall
be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.”
When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all holders of Notes (and,
at the option of the Issuer, to holders of any Pari Passu Indebtedness) (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase
the maximum principal amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness), that is at least $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000
in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof (or, in the event such Pari Passu Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100%
of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such
lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of
such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.06.  The Issuer will commence an Asset
Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $50 million
by mailing, or delivering electronically if held by the Depository, the notice required pursuant to the terms of Section 4.06(g),
with a copy to the Trustee.  To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) tendered
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose
that is not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) surrendered
by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described
in Section 4.06(f).  Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds, as the case may
be, shall be reset at zero.


 


(c)          The
Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to
the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer.  To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer
shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described
in this Indenture by virtue thereof.  If more Notes (and Pari Passu Indebtedness) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale
Offer than the Issuer is required to purchase, selection of such Notes for purchase will be made by the Trustee; provided
that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part. Selection of such Pari Passu Indebtedness will be made pursuant to
the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness.


 


(d)          
Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sale Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Issuer
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation
of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales pursuant to which such Asset Sale Offer is being made and (iii) the compliance of
such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(b).  On such date, the Issuer shall also irrevocably deposit
with the Trustee or with a paying agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate
and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds to be invested in


 




    	 	80	 



     


    

 


Cash Equivalents, as directed in writing by the Issuer, and to be
held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.06.  Upon the expiration of the period for
which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation
the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Issuer.  The Trustee
(or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering holder in the
amount of the purchase price.  In the event that the Excess Proceeds delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee are greater
than the purchase price of the Notes tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Issuer immediately after the expiration
of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section 4.06.


 


(e)          [Reserved];


 


(f)          Holders
electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender such Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuer
at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date.  Holders shall be entitled
to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of the Note which
was delivered by the holder for purchase and a statement that such holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased.  If
at the end of the Offer Period more Notes (and Pari Passu Indebtedness) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Issuer
is required to purchase, selection of such Notes for purchase shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements
of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, or if such Notes are not so listed, on a
pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with
applicable legal requirements); provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part.  Selection
of such Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be made pursuant to the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness.


 


(g)          Notices
of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, or delivered electronically if held by the Depository,
at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each holder of Notes at such holder’s registered address.  If
any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal
amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.


 


Section 4.07         Transactions
with Affiliates.


 


(a)          The
Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell,
lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into
or make or amend any transaction or series of transactions, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with,
or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $25 million, unless:


 




    	 	81	 



     


    

 


(i)          such
Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than
those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person;
and


 


(ii)         with
respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of
$50 million, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of
the Issuer, approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate
Transaction complies with clause (i) above.


 


(b)         The
provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to the following:


 


(i)          transactions
between or among the Issuer and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or an entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result
of such transaction) and any merger, consolidation or amalgamation of the Issuer and any direct parent of the Issuer; provided
that such parent shall have no material liabilities and no material assets other than cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock
of the Issuer and such merger, consolidation or amalgamation is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and effected
for a bona fide business purpose;


 


(ii)         Restricted
Payments permitted by Section 4.04 and Permitted Investments;


 


(iii)        (A) the
entering into of any agreement (and any amendment or modification of any such agreement so long as, in the good faith judgment
of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the holders when taken as a whole, as compared
to such agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) to pay, and the payment of, management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees
to the Sponsors (1) in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year not to exceed the greater of (x) $7.5 million and (y) 2.0%
of EBITDA of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the immediately preceding fiscal year, plus out-of-pocket expense
reimbursement; provided, however, that any payment not made in any fiscal year may be carried forward and paid in the following
two fiscal years and (2) 2.0% of the value of transactions with respect to which any Affiliate provides any transaction, advisory
or other services and (B) the payment of the present value of all amounts payable pursuant to any agreement described in clause (iii)(A)
of this Section 4.07(b) in connection with the termination of such agreement;


 


(iv)        the
payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursement of expenses paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers,
directors, managers, employees or consultants of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, any direct or indirect parent of the
Issuer;


 




    	 	82	 



     


    

 


(v)         payments
by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Sponsors made for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or
placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities, including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions
or divestitures, which payments are (A) made pursuant to the agreements with the Sponsors described in the Offering Memorandum
(as in effect on the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto that is not materially adverse as a whole to the Issuer) or (B) approved
by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer in good faith;


 


(vi)        transactions
in which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent
Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view
or meets the requirements of clause (i) of Section 4.07(a);


 


(vii)       payments
or loans (or cancellation of loans) to officers, directors, managers, employees or consultants which are approved by a majority
of the Board of Directors of the Issuer in good faith;


 


(viii)      any
agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or replacement thereof (so long as any such agreement together
with all amendments thereto and replacements thereof, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Issuer and its Restricted
Subsidiaries in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction contemplated
thereby, in each case as determined in good faith by the Issuer;


 


(ix)         the
existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of the
Shareholders’ Agreement, the Reimbursement and Distribution Agreement, any other stockholders agreement (including any registration
rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date, and any transaction, agreement
or arrangement described in the Offering Memorandum and, in each case, any amendment thereto or similar transactions, agreements

by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing transaction,
agreement or arrangement or under any similar transaction, agreement or arrangement entered into after the Issue Date shall only
be permitted by this clause (ix) to the extent that the terms of any such existing transaction, agreement or arrangement together
with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new transaction, agreement or arrangement are not otherwise more disadvantageous
to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in any material respect than the original transaction, agreement or arrangement as
in effect on the Issue Date, as determined in good faith by the Issuer;


 


(x)          [Reserved];


 




    	 	83	 



     


    

 


(xi)         (A) transactions
with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or transactions otherwise relating to the purchase
or sale of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this
Indenture, which are fair to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors

Section 4.08         Change
of Control.


 


(a)          Upon
a Change of Control, each holder shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s
Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”) (subject to the right of the holders
of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the terms
contemplated in this Section 4.08; provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control,
the Issuer shall not be obligated to purchase any Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08 in the event that it has exercised its
right to redeem such Notes in accordance with Article III of this Indenture.  In the event that at the time of such
Change of Control the terms of the Bank Indebtedness restrict or prohibit the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08,
then prior to the delivery of the notice to the holders provided for in Section 4.08(b) but in any event within 30 days following
any Change of Control, the Issuer shall (i) repay in full all Bank Indebtedness or, if doing so will allow the purchase of
Notes, offer to repay in full all Bank Indebtedness and repay the Bank Indebtedness of each lender and/or noteholder who has accepted
such offer, or (ii) obtain the requisite consent under the agreements governing the Bank Indebtedness to permit the repurchase
of the Notes as provided for in Section 4.08(b).


 


(b)         Within
30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Notes in accordance
with Article III of this Indenture, the Issuer shall mail (or deliver pursuant to the procedures of the Depository) a notice
(a “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder with a copy to the Trustee stating:


 


(i)          that
a Change of Control has occurred and that such holder has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase such holder’s Notes
for the Change of


 




    	 	85	 



     


    

 


Control Payment (subject to the right of the holders of
record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date);


 


(ii)          the
circumstances regarding such Change of Control;


 


(iii)         the
repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent); and


 


(iv)         the
instructions determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.08, that a holder must follow in order to have its Notes
purchased.


 


(c)          Holders
electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuer
at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date.  The holders shall be
entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase
date a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of the Note
which was delivered for purchase by the holder and a statement that such holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased.  Holders
whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes
surrendered.


 


(d)          On
the purchase date, all Notes purchased by the Issuer under this Section 4.08 shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the holders entitled thereto.


 


(e)          A
Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive
agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.


 


(f)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change
of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance
with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all
Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer; (ii) a notice of redemption of all outstanding
Notes has been given pursuant to the Indenture as described in Paragraph 6 of the Notes unless and until there is a default in
payment of the applicable redemption price; or (iii) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the
Issuer has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price
equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms
of the Alternate Offer, and, in the case of an Alternate Offer made in contemplation of any Change of Control, such Change of Control
occurs.


 


(g)          If
holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes
in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu


 




    	 	86	 



     


    

 


of the Issuer as described in Section 4.08(f) above, purchases
all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change
of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal
to the Change of Control Payment.


 


(h)          Notes
repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will have the status of Notes issued but not outstanding or will
be retired and canceled at the option of the Issuer.  Notes purchased by a third party pursuant to the preceding clauses (f)
and (g) will have the status of Notes issued and outstanding.


 


(i)          At
the time the Issuer delivers Notes to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Issuer shall also deliver an Officer’s
Certificate stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.08.  A
Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers
payment therefor to the surrendering holder.


 


(j)          Prior
to any Change of Control Offer, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions
precedent contained herein to the right of the Issuer to make such offer have been complied with.


 


(k)         The
Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities
laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08.  To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer shall comply
with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.08
by virtue thereof.


 


Section 4.09         Compliance
Certificate.  The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer,
beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2015, an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of
the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of the Issuer he or she would normally have knowledge of any
Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default that occurred during such period.  If he or she does, the
certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.  Except
with respect to receipt of payments of principal and interest on the Notes and any Default or Event of Default information contained
in the Officer’s Certificate delivered to it pursuant to this Section 4.09, the Trustee shall have no duty to review,
ascertain or confirm the Issuer’s compliance with or the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made in this
Indenture.


 


Section 4.10         Further
Instruments and Acts.  Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and deliver such further instruments
and do such further


 




    	 	87	 



     


    

 


acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more
effectively the purpose of this Indenture.


 


Section 4.11         Future
Subsidiary Guarantors.


 


(a)          The
Issuer shall cause each of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer to execute and
deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall guarantee payment of the Notes
on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, except (x) with respect to Indebtedness of the Issuer consisting
of Bank Indebtedness or guarantees of Bank Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Issuer consisting of guarantees of Indebtedness
of one or more of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries and (y) to the extent that providing such guarantee would violate
a debt agreement of such Restricted Subsidiary which was entered into not in contemplation of the subject transaction.  Each
future Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Restricted
Subsidiary without rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.


 


(b)          Any
Subsidiary Guarantor of the Notes shall be released in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, including upon release of the
guarantee triggering issuance of such Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes.


 


Section 4.12         Liens.


 


(a)          The
Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or Incur any Lien (except Permitted
Liens) that secures any Indebtedness on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, unless the Notes are
equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of obligations subordinated in right of payment to the Notes)
the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.  Any Lien which is granted
to secure the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release
of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes.


 


(b)          For
purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (i) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely
by reference to one category of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens”
or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (ii) in the event that
a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted
Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a),
the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if Incurred at such
later time), such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant
and will be entitled to include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of


 




    	 	88	 



     


    

 


Indebtedness secured by such Lien (or portion thereof) in one of
the categories of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant
to Section 4.12(a) and, in such event, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) will be treated
as being Incurred or existing pursuant to only such clause or clauses (or any portion thereof) or pursuant to Section 4.12(a)
without giving pro forma effect to such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Liens or Indebtedness that
may be Incurred pursuant to any other clause or paragraph.


 


(c)          With
respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such
Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness.  The “Increased
Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual
of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form
of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Issuer, the payment of dividends on Preferred
Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation
preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies
or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (3) of the definition of “Indebtedness.”


 


Section 4.13         Re-flagging
of Vessels.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Restricted Subsidiary may reconstitute itself in
another jurisdiction, or merge with or into another Restricted Subsidiary, for the purpose of reflagging a vessel that it owns
or bareboat charters so long as at all times each Restricted Subsidiary remains organized under the laws of any country recognized
by the United States of America with an investment grade credit rating from either Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or any Permitted Jurisdiction.


 


Section 4.14         Maintenance
of Office or Agency.


 


(a)          The
Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where
Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect
of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.  The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location,
and any change in the location, of such office or agency.  If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such
required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices
and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 13.02.


 


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


 




    	 	89	 



     


    

 


notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and
of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.


 


(c)          The
Issuer hereby designates the corporate trust office of the Trustee or its agent as such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance
with Section 2.04.


 


Section 4.15         [Reserved].


 


Section 4.16         Covenant
Suspension.  If on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both
Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, 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”), and subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries
shall not be subject to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07 and 5.01(a)(iv) (collectively the “Suspended Covenants”).


 


If and while the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries
are not subject to the Suspended Covenants, the Notes will be entitled to substantially less covenant protection.  In
the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any
period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of
the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade
Rating, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this
Indenture with respect to future events.


 


No Default, Event of Default or breach of any
kind shall be deemed to exist under the Indenture or the Notes with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and neither the
Issuer nor any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period,
or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising during the Suspension Period, regardless of whether
such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period.


 


On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred,
or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been Incurred or issued
pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock 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 or Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) such Indebtedness
or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as
permitted under Section 4.03(b)(ii). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to


 




    	 	90	 



     


    

 


be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 will be made
as though Section 4.04 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 4.04(a).  As
described above, however, 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 Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period.


 


For purposes of Section 4.06, on the Reversion
Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.


 


During a Suspension Period, the Issuer shall not
designate any of its Subsidiaries as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.


 


The Issuer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate
to the Trustee specifying if a Covenant Suspension Event has occurred, the date of any Covenant Suspension Date, if a Reversion
Date has occurred and when a Reversion Date has occurred.  The Issuer shall deliver any such Officer’s Certificate
within 5 Business Days of the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event or a Reversion Date, as the case may be.  The
Trustee shall not have any duty to monitor whether or not a Suspension Event or Reversion Date has occurred or to notify the holders
thereof.


 


Article V


 


SUCCESSOR COMPANY


 


Section 5.01         When
Issuer May Merge or Transfer Assets.


 


(a)          The
Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up or convert into (whether or
not the Issuer is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:


 


(i)          the
Issuer is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, winding up or
conversion (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will
have been made is a company organized or existing under the laws of Bermuda or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company
or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of any Permitted Jurisdiction (the Issuer or such Person, as the case may
be, being herein called the “Successor Issuer”), provided that in the case where the surviving person
is not a company organized under the laws of Bermuda, a co-obligor of the Notes is a company organized under the laws of Bermuda
or a corporation organized under the laws of the U.S.;


 


(ii)         the
Successor Issuer (if other than the Issuer) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes
pursuant to


 




    	 	91	 



     


    

 


supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments
in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;


 


(iii)        immediately
after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Issuer or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary at the time of such transaction) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;


 


(iv)        immediately
after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable
four-quarter period (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary at the
time of such transaction), either


 


(1)         the
Successor Issuer would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
test set forth in Section 4.03(a); or


 


(2)         the
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be no less than such ratio for the Issuer
and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; and


 


(v)         [Reserved];


 


(vi)        the
Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation,
merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indentures (if any) comply with this Indenture.


 


The Successor Issuer (if other than the Issuer)
will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes, and in such event the Issuer will automatically
be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (iii) and
(iv) of this Section 5.01, (a) any Restricted Subsidiary may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or transfer all
or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or to another Restricted Subsidiary, and (b) the Issuer may merge, consolidate
or amalgamate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in a Permitted Jurisdiction or
may convert into a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of
any Permitted Jurisdiction so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased
thereby.  This Article V will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets
between or among the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Section 6.01         Events
of Default.  An “Event of Default” occurs with respect to Notes if:


 


(a)          there
is a default in any payment of interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period
of 30 days,


 


(b)          there
is a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, of any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption,
upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise,


 


(c)          the
failure by the Issuer to comply for 90 days after notice with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements contained in Section 4.02,


 


(d)          the
failure by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements (other than a default
referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above) contained in the Notes or this Indenture,


 


(e)          the
failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary) to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable
grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in
each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $75 million or its foreign currency equivalent,


 


(f)          either
the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:


 


(i)          commences
a voluntary case;


 


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


 


(iii)        consents
to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or


 


(iv)        makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency,


 


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


 


(i)          is
for relief against either the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer in an involuntary case;


 




    	 	93	 



     


    

 


(ii)         appoints
a Custodian of either the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its property; or


 


(iii)        orders

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the
order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days, or


 


(h)         failure
by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary)
to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $75 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered
by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period
of 60 days.


 


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


 


However, a default under clauses (c) or (d) above
shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes notify
the Issuer, with a copy to the Trustee, of the default in writing and the Issuer does not cure such default within the time specified
in clause (c) or (d) hereof, as applicable, after receipt of such notice.  Such notice must specify the Default,
demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee,
within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of
any event which is, or with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its status and
what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.


 


Section 6.02         Acceleration.  If
an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) hereof with respect to the Issuer)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding
Notes by notice to the Issuer, with a copy to the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid
interest on all the Notes to be due and payable; provided, however, that so long as any Credit Agreement Indebtedness
remains outstanding, no such acceleration shall be effective until the earlier of (1) five Business Days after the giving
of written notice to the Issuer and the Representatives under the Credit Agreements and (2) the day on which any Credit Agreement
Indebtedness is accelerated.  Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.  If
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any holders. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind any
such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.


 




    	 	94	 



     


    

 


In the event of any Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(e) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default)
shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, if within
20 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the
Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have
rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the
default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration
of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.


 


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


 


The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if
it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee
or any holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy.  To the extent
required by law, all available remedies are cumulative.


 


Section 6.04         Waiver
of Past Defaults.  Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the
holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing
Default 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 the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default
in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each holder affected.  When
a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders will be restored to their former positions
and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.


 


Section 6.05         Control
by Majority.  The holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes outstanding may direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, if the
Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee
in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or
Responsible Officers shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability
or expense for which it is not adequately indemnified, or subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial
to the rights of any other holder or that would


 




    	 	95	 



     


    

 


involve the Trustee in personal liability.  Prior to taking
any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against
all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.


 


Section 6.06         Limitation
on Suits.


 


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


 


(i)          such
holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing,


 


(ii)         holders
of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy,


 


(iii)        such
holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense,


 


(iv)        the
Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity,
and


 


(v)         the
holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such
request within such 60-day period.


 


(b)          A
holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another
holder.


 


Section 6.07         Rights
of the Holders to Receive Payment.


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right
of any holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such holder, on or after the respective due
dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.


 


Section 6.08         Collection
Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes for
the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest
at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.


 


Section 6.09         Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee may file such proofs of claim, statements of interest and other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation,
expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the
Trustee deems necessary,


 




    	 	96	 



     


    

 


advisable or appropriate)) and the holders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors or its property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise,
of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote
on behalf of the holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee
under Section 7.07.


 


Section 6.10         Priorities.  Any
money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI and any other money or property distributable in respect
of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order:


 


FIRST:  to the Trustee for
amounts due under Section 7.07;


 


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


 


THIRD:  to the Issuer.


 


The Trustee may fix a record date and payment
date for any payment to the holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.  At least 15 days before such record date, the
Trustee shall mail to each holder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.


 


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


 


Section 6.12         Waiver
of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Issuer shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any
such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but


 




    	 	97	 



     


    

 


shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.

of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested
in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Indenture.  The Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation as to any statement contained in any such
instance, but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statement or the correctness of such
opinions.  However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the
Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture
(but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).


 


(c)          The
Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct,
except that:


 


(i)          this
paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;

(iii)        the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received
by it pursuant to Section 6.05; and

provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise Incur financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this

held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.


 


(g)          Every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01.


 


Section 7.02         Rights
of Trustee.


 


(a)          The
Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person.  The
Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.


 


(b)          Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both.  The

or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct
or negligence.


 


(e)          The
Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating
to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action
taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.


 


(f)          The
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion,


 




    	 	99	 



     


    

 


report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture,
note or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount
of the Notes at the time outstanding, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall
be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the
Issuer and shall Incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.


 


(g)          The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction
of any of the holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory
to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be Incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.


 


(h)          The
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended
to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed
to act hereunder.


 


(i)          The
Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith at the direction of the holders
of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for
any remedy available to the Trustee or the exercising of any power conferred by this Indenture.


 


(j)          Any
action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Trustee in good faith pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or
consent of any person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall
be conclusive and binding upon future holders of Notes and upon Notes executed and delivered in exchange therefor or in place thereof.


 


(k)         The
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.


 


(l)          The
Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles
of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may
be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.


 


(m)        The
Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including,
but not limited to,


 




    	 	100	 



     


    

 


loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised

Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trusts and powers under this Indenture.

arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation,
acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions;
loss or malfunction of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; and acts
of civil or military authorities and governmental action.


 


Section 7.03         Individual
Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  Any
Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights.  However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10
and 7.11.


 


Section 7.04         Trustee’s
Disclaimer.  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy
of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall
not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the
Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.  The Trustee shall not be charged
with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) or of the identity of any Significant
Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof in accordance with Section 13.02 hereof from the Issuer or any holder.  In accepting the
trust hereby created, the Trustee acts solely as Trustee for the holders of the Notes and not in its individual capacity and all
persons, including without limitation the holders of Notes and the Issuer having any claim against the Trustee arising from this
Indenture shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder for payment except as otherwise provided herein.


 


Section 7.05         Notice
of Defaults.  If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
mail to each holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to
a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee.  Except in the case of a Default in the payment of
principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its
Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the holders.  The Issuer is
required to deliver to the Trustee, annually, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred
during the previous year.  The Issuer also is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence
thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute certain


 




    	 	101	 



     


    

 


Defaults, their status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes
to take in respect thereof.


 


Section 7.06         [Reserved].


 


Section 7.07         Compensation
and Indemnity.  The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation, as the Issuer and the Trustee
shall from time to time agree in writing, for the Trustee’s acceptance of this Indenture and its services hereunder.  The
Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Issuer
shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses Incurred or made by it, including costs of collection,
in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.  The Issuer shall indemnify
the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
Incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including
the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against
or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any holder or any other Person).  The obligation to pay such
amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Notes or the removal or resignation of the Trustee.  The
Trustee shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof;
provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its indemnity obligations
hereunder.  The Issuer shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s
expense in the defense.  Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses
of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes
such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest
between the Issuer and such parties in connection with such defense.  The Issuer needs not reimburse any expense or indemnify
against any loss, liability or expense Incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence
or bad faith.


 


To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations
in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee
other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.


 


The Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant
to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture
under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.  Without prejudice to any other rights available
to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee Incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(f)
or (g) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.


 




    	 	102	 



     


    

 


No provision of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise Incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder,
or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not assured to its satisfaction.


 


Section 7.08         Replacement
of Trustee.


 


(a)         The
Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer.  The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee.  The Issuer shall remove the
Trustee if:


 


(i)          the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;


 


(ii)         the
Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;


 


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


 


(iv)        the
Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.


 


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


 


(c)         A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer.  Thereupon
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
the holders.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee,
subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.


 


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


 


(e)         If
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in Section 310(b)
of the TIA, any holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 




    	 	103	 



     


    

 


(f)          Notwithstanding
the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue
for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.


 


Section 7.09         Successor
Trustee by Merger.  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.


 


In case at the time such successor or successors
by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall
have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated,
any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or
in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.


 


Section 7.10         Eligibility;
Disqualification.  The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the TIA.  The
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report
of condition.  The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA, subject to its right to apply for a stay
of its duty to resign under the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that
there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA any series of securities issued under this Indenture
and any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of
the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met.


 


Section 7.11         Preferential
Collection of Claims Against the Issuer.  The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding
any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the TIA.  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall
be subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA to the extent indicated.

(a)          This
Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer
or exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when:


 


(i)          either
(A) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced
or paid and


 




    	 	104	 



     


    

 


Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited
in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) have
been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (B) all of the Notes (1) have become due and payable, (2) will
become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year or (3) if redeemable at the option of the Issuer, are to be
called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by
the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient, as determined by the Issuer, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the
Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to
the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment
thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; provided that upon any
redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the Indenture
to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice
of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of the redemption only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to
the date of the redemption;


 


(ii)         the
Issuer has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; and


 


(iii)        the
Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent
under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.


 


(b)         Subject
to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Notes and this
Indenture (with respect to the holders of the Notes) (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations
under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13 and the operation of clause (iv) of
Section 5.01(a) for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, and Sections 6.01(d), 6.01(e) and Section 6.01(f) (with
respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer only), 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) (“covenant defeasance option”).  The
Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.  In
the event that the Issuer terminates all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) by
exercising its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor with respect
to the Notes shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations.


 


If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option,
payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.  If the Issuer exercises its
covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in
Sections 6.01(d), 6.01(e) and Sections 6.01(f)


 




    	 	105	 



     


    

 


and (g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer
only) or Section 6.01(h), or because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with clause (iv) of Section 5.01(a).


 


Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth
herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer
terminates.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 7.07,
7.08 and in this Article VIII shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full.  Thereafter, the Issuer’s
obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.


 


Section 8.02         Conditions
to Defeasance.


 


(a)         The
Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:


 


(i)          the
Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof
in an amount sufficient or U.S. Government Obligations, the principal of and the interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination
thereof sufficient, to pay the principal of and premium (if any) and interest on the Notes when due at maturity or redemption,
as the case may be, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date;


 


(ii)         the
Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion
that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus
any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal,
premium, if any, and interest when due on all the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;


 


(iii)        123
days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect
to the Issuer occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;


 


(iv)        the
deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Issuer and is not prohibited by Article X;


 


(v)         in
the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) the
Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) since the date of
this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon
such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes
as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in


 




    	 	106	 



     


    

 


the same manner and at the same times as would have been
the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of
the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the Indenture to the extent that an amount is
deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit
as of the date of the redemption only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of the redemption.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by the immediately preceding sentence with respect to a legal defeasance need not
be delivered if all of the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable
or (y) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer;


 


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


 


(vii)       in
the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance
and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and


 


(viii)      the
Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article VIII have been
complied with.


 


(b)        Before
or after a deposit, the Issuer may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of such Notes at a future date
in accordance with Article III.


 


Section 8.03         Application
of Trust Money.  The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations (including proceeds thereof)
deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII.  The Trustee shall apply the deposited money and the money from
U.S. Government Obligations through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes so discharged or defeased.


 


Section 8.04         Repayment
to Issuer.  Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon request any money
or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII which, in the written opinion of nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants delivered to the


 




    	 	107	 



     


    

 



Trustee (which delivery shall only be required
if U.S. Government Obligations have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be
deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article VIII.


 


Subject to any applicable abandoned property
law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal
or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment
as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.


 


Section 8.05           Indemnity
for U.S. Government Obligations.   The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee
or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on
such U.S. Government Obligations.


 


Section 8.06           Reinstatement.   If
the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII
by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes so discharged or defeased
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee
or any Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII;
provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, or interest on, any such Notes because
of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Notes to receive such
payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

Notes, and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Initial Notes, as a single issue of securities.


 


Section 9.02           With
Consent of the Holders.


 


(a)         The
Issuer and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes, with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender

or


 


(8)         make
any change in the amendment provisions which require each holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions.


 


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


 


After an amendment under this Section 9.02
becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail, or deliver electronically if held by the Depository, to the 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 9.02.


 


Section 9.03           Compliance
with Trust Indenture Act.  From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, if at all, every
amendment, waiver or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect, including,
without limitation, Section 316(b) of the TIA.


 


Section 9.04           Revocation
and Effect of Consents and Waivers.


 


(a)          A
consent to an amendment or a waiver by a holder of a Note shall bind the holder and every subsequent holder of that Note or portion
of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not
made on the Note. However, any such holder or subsequent holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such holder’s Note
or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s
Certificate from the Issuer certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. After an amendment or waiver
becomes effective, it shall bind every holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Issuer
or the Trustee of consents by the holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions
to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution
of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuer and the Trustee.


 


(b)          The
Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders entitled to give their
consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If


 




    	 	110	 



    	 	 	 



    

 


 


a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding
the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and
only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action,
whether or not such Persons continue to be holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more
than 120 days after such record date.


 


Section 9.05           Notation
on or Exchange of Notes.  If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer may require
the holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed
terms and return it to the holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation
or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


Section 9.06           Trustee
to Sign Amendments.  The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX
if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee
may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture
and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against it
in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03).


 


Section 9.07           Additional
Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount.  All Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together
on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class and no Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate
class on any matter. Determinations as to whether holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in
any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article IX and Section 2.14.

Section 13.06         When
Notes Disregarded.   In determining whether the holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred
in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled
by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that,
for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Notes which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time
shall be considered in any such determination.


 


Section 13.07         Rules

Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration
for issuance of the Notes.

the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer (i) acknowledges that it will, by separate written instrument, designate
and appoint National Registered Agents, Inc. (and any successor entity) as its authorized agent upon which process may be served

the extent that the Issuer may be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with
respect to or arising out of this Indenture, to claim for itself or its revenues, assets or properties immunity (whether by reason
of sovereignty or otherwise) from suit, from the jurisdiction of any court (including but not limited to any court of the United
States of America or the State of New York), from attachment prior to judgment, from set-off, from execution of a judgment
or from any other legal process, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether
or not claimed), the Issuer hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the extent permitted

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE NOTE]


 


4.625% Senior Notes due 2020


 


1.           Interest


 


NCL CORPORATION LTD, a company organized under
the laws of Bermuda (and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuer shall pay interest
semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing
[           ]2.
Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest
has been paid or duly provided for, from November 10, 2015, until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by
the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.


 


2.           Method
of Payment


 


The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders at the close of business on May 1 and November 1
(each a “Record Date”) next preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled after the Record
Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender Notes to the Paying Agent
to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America
that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented
by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to the accounts specified by the Depository or any successor depositary. The Issuer shall make all payments in respect of a certificated
Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the
Issuer, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each holder thereof; provided, however,
that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes,
by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such holder elects payment
by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than
30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).


 


3.           Paying
Agent and Registrar


 


Initially, U.S. Bank National Association
(the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent
or

    	 	Ex. A-6	 



    	 	 	 



    

 


Registrar without notice. The Issuer or any
of its domestically incorporated Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


4.           Indenture


 


The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture
dated as of November 10, 2015 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes
include those stated in the Indenture. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto
in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the holders (as defined in the Indenture)
are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms and provisions.


 


The Notes are senior unsecured obligations
of the Issuer. This Note is one of the Initial Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes and any
Additional Notes. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The
Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make
certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, Incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual
restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital
stock of the Issuer and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or Incur
Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Issuer to consolidate or merge with or
into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property.


 


To guarantee the due and punctual payment
of the principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes when and
as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and
the Indenture, any future Subsidiary Guarantor that executes a Subsidiary Guarantee will unconditionally guarantee the Guaranteed
Obligations on a senior unsecured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.


 


5.           Additional
Amounts


 


All payments made by the Issuer under or with
respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or
future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related
thereto) (collectively, “Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law.
If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of (1) any jurisdiction
in which the Issuer is then incorporated, or resident or doing business for tax purposes or any department or political subdivision
thereof or therein or (2) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made or any department or political subdivision
thereof or therein (each, a “Tax Jurisdiction”), will at any time be required to be made from any payments made
by the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes including payments of principal, redemption price, purchase price, interest or


 




    	 	Ex. A-7	 



    	 	 	 



    

  


premium, the Issuer will pay such additional
amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of
such payments by each holder after such withholding or deduction (including any such deduction or withholding from such Additional
Amounts) will equal the respective amounts which would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding
or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to: (1) any Taxes,
to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the holder
or the beneficial owner of the Notes and the relevant Tax Jurisdiction (other than solely from the mere acquisition, ownership,
holding or disposition of such Note, the enforcement of rights under such Note and/or the receipt of any payments in respect of
such Note); (2) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the failure of the holder or the beneficial
owner of the Notes, following the Issuer’s written request to the holder, at least 30 days before any such withholding or
deduction would be payable, to comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements, whether
required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Tax Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from,
or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Tax Jurisdiction (including, without limitation,
a certification that the holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Tax Jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent
the holder or the beneficial owner is legally entitled to provide such certification or documentation; (3) any Taxes, to the
extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a Note for payment (where presentation is required) more than
30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the holder (except to the extent that the holder would
have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period); (4) any estate, inheritance,
gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax or assessment; (5) any Taxes payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding
from payments made under or with respect to any Note; or (6) any combination of the above items.


 


In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer will
also pay and indemnify the holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer, court or documentary taxes, or
any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto)
which are levied by any jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, issuance, or registration of any of the Notes, the Indenture,
or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect to, or enforcement of, the
Notes (such sum being recoverable from the Issuer as a liquidated sum payable as a debt).


 


If the Issuer becomes aware that it will be
obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes, the Issuer will deliver to
the Trustee on a date which is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts
arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) notice
stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The notice must also set forth
any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay Additional Amounts to holders on the relevant payment


 




    	 	Ex. A-8	 



    	 	 	 



    

  


date. The Issuer will provide the Trustee
with documentation evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.


 


The Issuer will make all withholdings and
deductions (within the time period and in the minimum amount) required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld
to the relevant Tax authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer will use its reasonable efforts to obtain Tax receipts
from each Tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee (or
to a holder upon request), within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, certified
copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Issuer, or if, notwithstanding such entity’s efforts to obtain receipts,
receipts are not obtained, other evidence of payments (reasonably satisfactory to Trustee) by such entity.


 


Whenever in the Indenture there is mentioned,
in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest or of any other amount
payable under, or with respect to, any of the Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts,
if applicable.


 


The above obligations will survive any termination,
defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person
to the Issuer is incorporated, or resident or doing business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which such Person
makes any payment on the Notes and any department or political subdivision thereof or therein.


 


6.           Optional
Redemption


 


On or after November 15, 2017, the Issuer
may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’
prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, or delivered electronically if held by the Depository,
at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to,
but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of 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 November 15 of the years set
forth below:


 


	Period	 	Redemption Price	 
	2017	 	 	102.313	%
	2018	 	 	101.156	%
	2019 and thereafter	 	 	100.000	%



 


In addition, prior to November 15, 2017,
the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, or delivered electronically
if held by the Depository, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable
Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date


 




    	 	Ex. A-9	 



    	 	 	 



    

  


(subject to the right of holders of record
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time
and from time to time on or prior to November 15, 2017, the Issuer may also redeem in the aggregate up to 40% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) in an aggregate amount equal
to the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (1) by the Issuer or (2) by any direct or indirect parent of
the Issuer to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of the Issuer or used to purchase
Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer from it, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal
amount thereof) of 104.625%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right
of holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); provided,
however, that at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance
of Additional Notes) must remain outstanding after each such redemption; provided, further, that such redemption
shall occur within 180 days after the date on which any such Equity Offering is consummated upon not less than 30 nor more than
60 days’ notice mailed, or delivered electronically if held by the Depository, to each holder of Notes being redeemed and
otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.


 


Notice of any redemption may be given prior
to the completion of any corporate transaction (including any Equity Offering, incurrence of Indebtedness, Change of Control or
other corporate transaction), and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more
conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related corporate transaction. If such redemption or purchase
is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition and, if applicable,
shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions
shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all
such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, the
Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect
to such redemption may be performed by another Person.


 


7.           Mandatory
Redemption


 


The Issuer shall not be required to make any
mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.


 


8.           Notice
of Redemption


 


Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class
mail, or delivered electronically if held by the Depository, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date
to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at his, her or its registered


 




    	 	Ex. A-10	 



    	 	 	 



    

  


address. Notes in denominations larger than
$2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued
and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on
or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on
such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.


 


9.           Redemption
for Changes in Taxes


 


The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole
but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to
the holders, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the redemption date and all Additional Amounts, (if any), which otherwise would be payable, if on the next
date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Issuer would be required to pay Additional Amounts, and
the Issuer cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it, as a result of: (1) any
amendment to, or change in, the laws or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of a relevant Tax Jurisdiction which
is announced and becomes effective after the date of the Offering Memorandum (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax
Jurisdiction on a date after the date of the Offering Memorandum, such later date); or (2) any amendment to, or change in,
an official interpretation or application regarding such laws, regulations or rulings, including by virtue of a holding, judgment
or order by a court of competent jurisdiction which is announced and becomes effective after the date of the Offering Memorandum
(or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the date of the Offering Memorandum, such later
date).


 


The Issuer will not give any such notice of
redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make such payment or withholding
if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due, and, at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts
must remain in effect.


 


Prior to the publication or, where relevant,
mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee (i) an
opinion of independent tax counsel, the choice of such counsel to be subject to the prior written approval of the Trustee (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to the effect that there has been such change or amendment which would entitle the Issuer
to redeem the Notes hereunder and (ii) a certificate signed by an officer of the Issuer stating that the Issuer cannot avoid
any obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it.


 


10.         Repurchase
of Notes at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Sales


 


Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control,
each holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Issuer to repurchase all
or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to


 




    	 	Ex. A-11	 



    	 	 	 



    

  


101% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the holders of record on
the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), as provided in, and subject to the terms
of, the Indenture.


 


In accordance with Section 4.06 of the
Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of certain events.


 


11.         Ranking


 


These Notes and any Subsidiary Guarantee by
a Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantors.


 


12.         Denominations;
Transfer; Exchange


 


The Notes are in registered form, without
coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A holder shall register the transfer
of or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the
Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. 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 to transfer or
exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Notes to be redeemed.


 


13.         Persons
Deemed Owners


 


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


 


14.         Unclaimed
Money


 


If money for the payment of principal or interest
remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuer at their written request
unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, the holders entitled to the money must look
to the Issuer for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect
to such monies.


 


15.         Discharge
and Defeasance


 


Subject to certain conditions, the Issuer
at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee
cash or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case
may be.


 




    	 	Ex. A-12	 



    	 	 	 



    

  


16.         Amendment;
Waiver


 


Subject to certain exceptions set forth in
the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be
waived with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Subject to
certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any holder, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend the Indenture
or the Notes (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to provide for the assumption
by a Successor Issuer of the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes; (iii) [Reserved]; (iv) to provide
for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided, however, that the uncertificated
Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the uncertificated
Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; (v) to conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any
provision of the “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the
“Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture or the Notes;
(vi) to add a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Notes or to add collateral to secure the Notes; (vii) [Reserved];
(viii) [Reserved]; (ix) to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the holders or to surrender any right or
power conferred upon the Issuer by the Indenture; (x) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying
or maintaining the qualification of, the Indenture under the TIA; (xi) to make any change that does not adversely affect the
rights of any holder; or (xii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes, which shall have terms substantially identical
in all material respects to the Initial Notes, and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Initial Notes, as a single
issue of securities.


 


17.         Defaults
and Remedies


 


If an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee by notice to the Issuer, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by
notice to the Issuer, with a copy to the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest
on all the Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
of the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.


 


If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction
of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee
against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive


 




    	 	Ex. A-13	 



    	 	 	 



    

  


payment of principal, premium (if any) or
interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such holder has previously
given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such holders have offered the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has
not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the
holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such
request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee
or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts
with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would
involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification
satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.


 


18.         Trustee
Dealings with the Issuer


 


Subject to certain limitations imposed by
the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuer
or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.


 


19.         No
Recourse Against Others


 


No director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator
or holder of any Equity Interests in the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent corporation, as such, shall have any liability
for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.


 


20.         Authentication

signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this
Note.

Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment
in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts
for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

is required to, notify any purchaser of the Note evidenced hereby of the resale restrictions set forth above. The foregoing restrictions
on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is
proposed to be made to an institutional “accredited investor” prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date,
the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Issuer and the Trustee,
which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within
the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment
purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer and the Trustee

ARTICLE XII


 


GUARANTEE


 


SECTION 12.01         Guarantee.


 


(a)          To
the extent applicable, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees
on a senior unsecured basis as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each holder and to the Trustee and its successors
and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise,
of all obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes, whether for payment
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on in respect of the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under
this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations
of the Issuer whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being
hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that
the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from any Subsidiary
Guarantor, and that each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article XII notwithstanding any extension or renewal
of any Guaranteed Obligation.


 


(b)          To
the extent applicable, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any
of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any
default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected
by (i) the failure of any holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the
Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal
of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the
terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any holder
or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or each Subsidiary Guarantor; (v) the failure of any holder or Trustee to exercise
any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of each
Subsidiary Guarantor, except as provided in Section 12.02(b). Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it
may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Subsidiary Guarantors, such that such Subsidiary Guarantor’s
obligations would be less than the full amount claimed.


 


(c)          Each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Issuer first be used and depleted
as payment of the Issuer’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts


 




    	 	Ex. C-4	 



    	 	 	 



    

  


being claimed from or paid by such Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuer be
sued prior to an action being initiated against such Subsidiary Guarantor.


 


(d)          Each
Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary 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.


 


(e)          The
Subsidiary Guarantee of each Subsidiary Guarantor is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article XII, equal in right
of payment to all existing and future Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor which ranks pari passu in right of payment to such
Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee, senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness
of the Issuer and is made subject to such provisions of this Indenture.


 


(f)          Except
as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 12.02 and 12.06, the obligations of each Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary 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 any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of
any Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.


 


(g)          Each
Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the
Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed
Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Issuer or otherwise.


 


(h)          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 Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer 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 Guaranteed Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and


 




    	 	Ex. C-5	 



    	 	 	 



    

  


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 (i) the
unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but
only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuer to the holders
and the Trustee.


 


(i)          Each
Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the holders in respect of
any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further
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 guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of the Subsidiary 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 VI, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary
Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 12.01.


 


(j)          Each
Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
Incurred by the Trustee or any holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 12.01.


 


(k)          Upon
request of the Trustee, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as
may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.


 


SECTION 12.02         Limitation
on Liability.


 


(a)          Any
term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations
guaranteed hereunder by each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering
this Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or
fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.


 


(b)          Each
Subsidiary Guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to be released
from all obligations under this Article XII upon:


 


(i)          the
sale, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of the Capital Stock (including any sale, disposition
or other transfer following which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary), or of all or substantially
all the assets, of the applicable


 




    	 	Ex. C-6	 



    	 	 	 



    

  


Subsidiary Guarantor if such sale,
disposition or other transfer is made in compliance with this Indenture;


 


(ii)         the
Issuer’s transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to, or merger with, an entity that is not a Subsidiary of the
Issuer in accordance with Section 5.01 and such transferee entity assumes the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture;


 


(iii)        the
Issuer’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under Article VIII or if the Issuer’s
obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;


 


(iv)        the
Issuer designating such Subsidiary Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04
and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary;” and


 


(v)         in
the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to guarantee the Notes pursuant to Section 4.11,
the release or discharge of all Indebtedness, which if guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary, would require such Restricted
Subsidiary to guarantee the Notes pursuant to Section 4.11.


 


SECTION 12.03         Successors
and Assigns. This Article XII shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall
inure 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 12.04         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 XII 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 XII
at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.


 


SECTION 12.05         Modification.
No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XII, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary
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 Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle any Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the
same, similar or other circumstances.


 


SECTION 12.06         Execution
of Supplemental Indenture for Future Note Guarantors. Each Subsidiary and other Person which is required to become a Subsidiary


 




    	 	Ex. C-7	 



    	 	 	 



    

  


Guarantor of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.11
shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit C hereto pursuant
to which such Subsidiary or other Person shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article XII and shall guarantee the
Notes. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by such Subsidiary or other Person and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of
equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor is a valid
and binding obligation of such guarantor, enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to
such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.


 


SECTION 12.07         Non-Impairment.
The failure to endorse a Subsidiary Guarantee on any Note shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.
