 Section 104. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that
all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other
such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any
certificate of an officer of the Company, any Guarantor or other obligor on the Securities may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer has actual
knowledge that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a
certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company, any Guarantor or other obligor on the Securities stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, any
Guarantor or other obligor on the Securities, unless such officer or counsel has actual knowledge that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Opinions of Counsel required to be delivered to the
Trustee may have qualifications customary for opinions of the type required and counsel delivering such Opinions of Counsel may rely on certificates of the Company or government or other officials customary for opinions of the type required,
including certificates certifying as to matters of fact, including that various financial covenants have been complied with.

other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Section 105. Acts of
Holders. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be
given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing and may be given or obtained in connection with a purchase
of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, outstanding Securities; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 105. 

  
 - 28 - 












 (b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 

(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future

Guarantor or any other obligor of the Securities in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

(d) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of
the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 (e) If the Company shall
solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of such Holders
entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board
Resolution, which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and no later than the date such first solicitation is completed. 

If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or
after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities then Outstanding have authorized
or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for this purpose the Securities then Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after such
record date. 
 (f) For purposes of this Indenture, any action by the Holders which may be taken in writing may be taken by electronic means
or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 
 (a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or any Guarantor or any
other obligor on the Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose (except as provided in Section 501(c)) hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to or with the Trustee
at its Corporate Trust Office, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Holders or the Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities by the Trustee; or 

(b) the Company or any Guarantor by the Trustee or any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose (except as provided in

provided) if delivered by electronic means in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to each Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than
the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice when delivered or mailed to a Holder in the aforesaid manner shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder whether or not
actually received by such Holder. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent
of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to deliver or mail
notice of any event as required by any provision of this Indenture, then any method of giving such notice as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 

Section 108. Trust Indenture Act Not Applicable.

Section 122. Limited Condition Transactions. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, when (i) calculating any applicable ratio in connection with the incurrence
of Indebtedness, the creation of Liens, the making of any Asset Sale, the making of any acquisitions, the making of an Investment, the making of a Restricted Payment, the designation of a Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted, the repayment of
Indebtedness or for any other purpose, (ii) determining whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result from any action, or (iii) determining compliance with any representations and warranties and any
other condition precedent to any action or transaction, in each case of clauses (i) through (iii) in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of such ratio, whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred,
is continuing or would result therefrom, or the satisfaction of any other condition precedent shall, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, a
“Transaction Election”), be deemed to be the date of declaration of such Restricted Payment or designation of a Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted, or the date that the definitive agreement for such Restricted Payment, Investment,
acquisition, Asset Sale or incurrence, repayment, repurchase or refinancing of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, or Preferred Stock is entered into, the date a public announcement of an intention to make an offer in respect of the target of such
acquisition or Investment or the date of such notice, which may be conditional, of such repayment, repurchase or refinancing of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock or such Asset Sale is given to the holders of such Indebtedness,
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (any such date, the “Transaction Test Date”). If on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith
(including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), with such ratios, absence of defaults, satisfaction of conditions precedent and other provisions calculated as if such Limited Condition Transaction or other transactions
had occurred on the relevant Transaction Test Date, such ratios, absence of defaults, satisfaction of conditions precedent other provisions are satisfied, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt,
(i) if any of such ratios, absence of defaults, satisfaction of conditions precedent or other provisions are exceeded or breached as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Cash Flow), a change in
facts and circumstances or other provisions at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios, absence of defaults, satisfaction of conditions precedent and other provisions will not be deemed to have been
exceeded, breached, or otherwise failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations or changed circumstances solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction and any related transactions is permitted


  
 - 33 - 












 
hereunder and (ii) such ratios, absence of defaults, satisfaction of conditions precedent and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition
Transaction or related transactions. If the Company has made a Transaction Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Limited
Condition Transaction or otherwise on or following the relevant Transaction Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited
Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in

such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith.

 Section 203. Form of Reverse of Securities. 

(a) The form of the reverse of the Securities shall be substantially as follows: 

Sonic Automotive, Inc. 
 4.625%
Senior Note due 2029 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its 4.625% Senior Notes
due 2029 (herein called the “Securities”), issued under and subject to the terms of an indenture (herein called the “Indenture”) dated as of October 27, 2021, among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National
Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

 The Company may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Securities, create and issue Additional
Securities under the Indenture ranking equally with the Securities in all respects, subject to the limitations described in Section 1008 of the Indenture. The terms of the Securities and any Additional Securities may have additional issuance
dates and dates from which interest accrues and be subject to different registration rights and shall be part of the same series. The total amount of the Securities which may be issued under the Indenture is unlimited. Such Additional Securities
will be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities, vote together with the Securities and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities, although any further Securities that are not fungible for U.S.
federal income tax purposes with the Securities being issued hereunder (and any other further Securities) will trade under a separate CUSIP number from the Securities being issued hereunder (and any such other further Securities) (and will also be
treated as a separate class for transfers and exchanges). References to the Securities under the Indenture include these Additional Securities if they are in the same series, unless the context requires otherwise. 

The Securities are subject to redemption at any time on or after November 15, 2024, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on
not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, in minimum amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on November 15 of the years indicated below: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Redemption
Price	 
	 2024
	  	 	102.313	% 
	 2025
	  	 	101.156	% 
	 2026
	  	 	100.000	% 

 and thereafter at 100% of the principal amount, in each case, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date). 

  
 - 41 - 












 In addition, at any time and from time to time on or prior to November 15, 2024, the
Company may redeem up to an aggregate of 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 104.625% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date with an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds from any issuance of Qualified Capital Stock, provided that 
  

	 	•	 	 at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities initially issued under the Indenture must remain
outstanding immediately after any such redemption; and 


  

	 	•	 	 the redemption must occur no later than 120 days after such issuance and sale of Qualified Capital Stock.



 At any time and from time to time prior to November 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or a part of the
Securities, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date). 

If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed in
compliance with the requirements of the principal national security exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed, or if the Securities are not so listed, the Trustee shall select them on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with the
Trustee’s customary procedures (subject to the procedures of The Depository Trust Company or any other Depositary in the case of Global Notes). 

In connection with any redemption of Securities, any such redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to satisfaction or
waiver of one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of securities offerings or other corporate transactions. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions
precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be
rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed (which may exceed 60 days from the date of the redemption notice in such case). 

  
 - 42 - 












 If (i) the consummation of the Acquisition (as defined below) does not occur on or
before December 15, 2021 (or such other date as the parties to the Merger Agreement (as defined below) shall agree as the “Outside Date” (as defined in the Merger Agreement), which in any event shall be no later than January 31,
2022 (the “End Date”) or (ii) the Company notifies the Trustee in writing of its abandonment or termination of the Merger Agreement or its determination that the consummation of the Acquisition will not occur on or before the End Date
(the earlier of the date of delivery of such notice and the End Date, the “Acquisition Deadline”), the Company will be required to redeem (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) $395,652,000 aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (the “Mandatory Redemption Amount”) plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, which redemption date shall be no later than ten
Business Days following the Acquisition Deadline (the date of such redemption, if applicable, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”). As used in this paragraph, “Merger Agreement” means the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
September 17, 2021, by and among the Company, RFJMS, Inc., RFJ Auto Partners, Inc., The Resolute Fund III, L.P., and “Acquisition” means the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. 

In the event that the Company becomes obligated to redeem the Securities pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption, the Company will
promptly, and in any event not more than three Business Days after the Acquisition Deadline, deliver notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption to the Trustee accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee deliver such
notice to the Holders of the Securities, and the Trustee will then promptly (and in no case later than two Business Days prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date) deliver such notice to each Holder of Securities at its registered address. The
Trustee will then promptly mail, or electronically deliver, according to the procedures of the Depositary, such notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed. If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory
Redemption Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee or a paying agent on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, then on and after such Special
Mandatory Redemption Date, the aggregate principal amount of Securities being redeemed will cease to bear interest. 
 Upon the occurrence
of a Change of Control, each Holder may require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Securities in whole or in part in amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, at a purchase price in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase, pursuant to a Change of Control Offer in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture; provided that the un-repurchased portion of the Securities of any holder must be equal to a minimum of $2,000 in principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

Under certain circumstances described more specifically in the Indenture, in the event the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company from any
Asset Sale, which proceeds are not used to repay certain Indebtedness or invested in Replacement Assets or exceeds a specified amount, the Company will be required to apply such proceeds to the repayment of the Securities and certain Indebtedness
ranking pari passu in right of payment to the Securities. 
 In the case of any redemption or repurchase of Securities in accordance
with the Indenture, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities of record as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date or Special Record Date
referred to on the face hereof. Securities (or portions thereof) for whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date. 

  
 - 43 - 












 In the event of redemption or repurchase of this Security in accordance with the Indenture
in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof; provided, that no Securities of $2,000 or less can be redeemed or repurchased in part. 

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount of all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire
Indebtedness on the Securities and (b) certain restrictive covenants and related Defaults and Events of Default, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions (including certain amendments permitted without the consent of any Holders and certain
amendments which require the consent of all the Holders) as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture and the
Securities and the Guarantees at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Securities). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities (100% of the Holders in certain circumstances)
at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantors with certain provisions of the Indenture and the Securities and the Guarantees and certain past Defaults under the
Indenture and the Securities and the Guarantees and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of
any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities (in the event such Guarantor or such other obligor is obligated to make payments in respect of the Securities), which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on, this Security at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at an office or agency of the Company, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

  
 - 44 - 












 Certificated securities shall be transferred to all beneficial holders in exchange for their
beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Securities or the Regulation S Global Securities, if any, if (x) the Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global
Security or (B) ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days or (y) there shall have occurred and be continuing an
Event of Default and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary. Upon any such issuance, the Trustee is required to register such certificated Securities in the name of, and cause the same to be delivered to, such Person or
Persons (or the nominee of any thereof). All such certificated Securities would be required to include the Private Placement Legend unless the legend is not required by applicable law. 

Securities in certificated form are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of
$1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a differing authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same. 
 At any time when the Company is not subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, upon the written request
of a Holder of a Security, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) to such Holder or to a prospective
purchaser of such Security who such Holder informs the Company is reasonably believed to be a “Qualified Institutional Buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by
such Holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company,
any Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security is overdue, and neither the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

as provided in this Indenture and not otherwise. 
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 In
case the Company or any Guarantor, pursuant to Article Eight, shall, in a single transaction or through a series of related transactions, be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger, or into which the Company or such Guarantor shall have been merged, or the
successor Person which shall have participated in the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight, any of the
Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities executed
in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor 

  
 - 47 - 












 
as the Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon the written request of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Securities as
specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 303 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration
of transfer of any Securities, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name.

 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities on behalf of the Trustee. Unless
limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities 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 Security Registrar or Paying Agent to deal with the Company and its Affiliates. 
 Section 304.
Temporary Securities. 
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of
which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 

If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to
Section 1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee (in accordance with a Company Order for the authentication of such Securities) shall
authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture as definitive Securities. 
 Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

The Company shall cause the Trustee to keep, so long as it is the Security Registrar, at the Corporate Trust Office, or such other office as
the Trustee may designate, a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Security Registrar may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee shall initially be the “Security Registrar” for the purpose of
registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. The Company may change the Security Registrar or appoint one or more co-Security Registrars without notice. 

  
 - 48 - 












 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the
Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall (in accordance with a Company Order for the authentication of such Securities) authenticate and make available for delivery, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. 

Furthermore, any Holder of the Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in
such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in a Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 

At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall (in accordance with a Company Order for
the authentication of such Securities) authenticate and make available for delivery, Securities of the same series which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing
the same Indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, or for exchange, repurchase or redemption, shall (if so required by the
Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer, exchange or redemption of Securities, except for any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 303, 304, 305, 308, 906, 1012, 1014 or 1108 not involving any transfer. 

The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Securities selected for redemption under Section 1104 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (b) to register the transfer of or
exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in part. 

  
 - 49 - 












 Every Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the legend
required to be set forth on the face of each Security pursuant to Section 202, and the restrictions set forth in this Section 305, and the Holder of each Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof (or interest therein), agrees to
be bound by such restrictions on transfer. 
 Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, any Security authenticated and delivered upon
registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any Global Security, whether pursuant to this Section 305, Section 304, 308, 906 or 1108 or otherwise, shall also be a Global Security and bear the legend specified in
Section 202. 
 Neither the Securities Registrar nor the Trustee shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as
to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among participants or beneficial owners of
interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the
same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 The Trustee and the Securities Registrar shall
be entitled to receive such evidence as may be reasonably requested to establish the identity and/or signature of any transferee or transferor. 

Section 306. Book Entry Provisions for Global Securities. 

(a) Each Global Security initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or the nominee of
such Depositary, (ii) be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary or with the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 202. 

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any
Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the
absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered,
and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act, 

  
 - 50 - 












 
and in either case the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary, (ii) the Company, at its option, executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that it elects to cause
the issuance of the Securities in certificated form and that all Global Securities shall be exchanged in whole for Securities that are not Global Securities (in which case such exchange shall be effected by the Trustee) or (iii) there shall
have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security. 

(c) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the
Depositary or its nominee to the Trustee, as Security Registrar, for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article Three. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in part, or if another Security is to be
exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, then either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article Three or (ii) the principal amount
thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by
means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as Security Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding
adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security, the Trustee shall, subject to this Section 306(c) and as otherwise provided in this Article Three, authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in
exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with the
occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Securities that are not in the form of Global Securities. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely
upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article Three if such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. 

(d) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any
portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article Three or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such
Global Security or a nominee thereof. 
 (e) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of
such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial
interest in a Global Security will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members. 

  
 - 51 - 












 Section 307. Special Transfer and Exchange Provisions. 

(a) Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Transfers and exchanges of Securities and beneficial interests in a Global Security of the kinds
specified in this Section 307 shall be made only in accordance with this Section 307 and subject in each case to the Applicable Procedures. 

(i) Rule 144A Global Security to Regulation S Global Security. If the owner of a beneficial interest
in the Rule 144A Global Security wishes at any time to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to acquire the same in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security, such transfer may be effected only in accordance
with the provisions of this paragraph and paragraph (a)(iv) below and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of (a) an order given by the Depositary or its authorized representative directing
that a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security in a specified principal amount be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account and that a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security in an equal principal amount
be debited from another specified Agent Member’s account and (b) a Regulation S Certificate in the form of Exhibit A hereto, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the owner of such beneficial interest in the Rule 144A
Global Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing, then the Trustee, as Security Registrar but subject to paragraph (iv) below, shall reduce the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Security and increase the principal amount of the
Regulation S Global Security by such specified principal amount as provided in Section 306(c). 
 (ii)
Regulation S Global Security to Rule 144A Global Security. If the owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security wishes at any time to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to acquire the
same in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with this paragraph (ii) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar,
of (a) an order given by the Depositary or its authorized representative directing that a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security in a specified principal amount be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account and that a
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security in an equal principal amount be debited from another specified Agent Member’s account and (b) if such transfer is to occur during the Restricted Period, a Restricted Securities
Certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the owner of such beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing, then the Trustee, as Security
Registrar, shall reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security and increase the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Security by such specified principal amount as provided in Section 306(c). 

(iii) Exchanges between Global Security and Non-Global Security. A beneficial
interest in a Global Security may be exchanged for a Security that is not a Global Security as provided in Section 307(b), provided that, if such interest is a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security, or if such interest is
a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security and such exchange is to occur during the Restricted Period, then such interest shall bear the Private Placement Legend (subject in each case to Section 307(b)). 

  
 - 52 - 












 (iv) Regulation S Global Security to be Held Through
Euroclear or Clearstream during Restricted Period. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Depositary to ensure that, until the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Security may be
held only in or through accounts maintained at the Depositary by Euroclear or Clearstream (or by Agent Members acting for the account thereof), and no person shall be entitled to effect any transfer or exchange that would result in any such interest
being held otherwise than in or through such an account; provided that this paragraph (iv) shall not prohibit any transfer or exchange of such an interest in accordance with paragraph (ii) above. 

(b) Private Placement Legends. Rule 144A Securities and their Successor Securities and Regulation S Securities and their Successor
Securities shall bear a Private Placement Legend, subject to the following: 
 (i) subject to the following clauses of this
Section 307(b), a Security or any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall bear the Private Placement Legend borne by such Global Security while represented thereby; 

(ii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 307(b), a new Security which is not a Global Security and is issued
in exchange for another Security (including a Global Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Private Placement Legend borne by such other Security; 

(iii) Securities sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,
together with their respective Successor Securities, shall not bear a Private Placement Legend; 
 (iv) at any time after the
Securities may be freely transferred without registration under the Securities Act or without being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Securities Act, a new Security which does not bear a Private Placement Legend may be issued in
exchange for or in lieu of a Security (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if the Trustee has received an Unrestricted Securities Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, satisfactory to
the Trustee and duly executed by the Holder of such legended Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security in exchange for or
in lieu of such other Security as provided in this Article Three; 

  
 - 53 - 












 (v) a new Security which does not bear a Private Placement Legend may be
issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if, in the Company’s judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Security is not necessary to ensure compliance
with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security as provided in this Article Three; and 

(vi) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 307(b), a Successor Security of a Security that does not
bear a particular form of Private Placement Legend shall not bear such form of legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Security is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144, in which case
the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a new Security bearing a Private Placement Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this Article Three. 

By its acceptance of any Security bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Security acknowledges the restrictions on
transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Security only as provided in this Indenture. 

The Security Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 306 or
this Section 307. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Security Registrar. 

In the event that Regulation S is amended during the term of this Indenture to alter the applicable holding period, all reference in this
Indenture to a holding period for Non-U.S. Persons will be deemed to include such amendment. 

Section 308. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee, such security or indemnity, in each case, as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon a Company Request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a replacement Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a replacement Security, pay such Security. 

  
 - 54 - 












 Upon the issuance of any replacement Securities under this Section, the Company may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith. 
 Every replacement Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute
an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and any Guarantor, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

Section 309. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on the Stated Maturity of such interest shall be paid
to the Person in whose name the Security (or any Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment. 

Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the Stated Maturity of such interest, and
interest on such defaulted interest at the then applicable interest rate borne by the Securities, to the extent lawful (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to
be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Subsection (a) or (b) below: 

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or any relevant Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the “Special Payment Date”), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Subsection provided. Thereupon the
Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the Special Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the
Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of such Special Record Date. In the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be delivered by electronic means or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such


  
 - 55 - 












 
Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Payment Date therefor having been so delivered or mailed, such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Subsection (b). 

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by this Indenture not inconsistent with the requirements of such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this Subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 309, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such
other Security. 
 Section 310. CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and/or “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in
use), and, if so, the Trustee will use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and/or “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption will not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
 Section 311. Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, any
Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 309) interest on, such Security
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and neither the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Section 312. Cancellation. 

All Securities surrendered for payment, purchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall be delivered to the Trustee and, if
not already canceled, shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company and any Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company or such Guarantor may
have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section 312,
except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. The Trustee shall provide the Company a list of all Securities that have been
canceled from time to time as requested by the Company. 

  
 - 56 - 












 Section 313. Computation of Interest. 

Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 ARTICLE FOUR 

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 401. Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may, at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities, elect to have either Section 402 or
Section 403 be applied to all of the Outstanding Securities (the “Defeased Securities”), upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Four. 

Section 402. Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 401 of the option applicable to this Section 402, the Company, each Guarantor and any
other obligor upon the Securities, if any, shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Defeased Securities on the date the conditions set forth in Section 404 below are satisfied (hereinafter,
“defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company, each Guarantor and any other obligor under this Indenture shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the Defeased Securities,
which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 405 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company and upon Company Request, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Defeased Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 404 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, such Securities, when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Defeased Securities under Sections 304, 305, 308, 1002 and 1003, (c) the rights, powers,
trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, including, without limitation, the Trustee’s rights under Section 607, and (d) this Article Four. Subject to compliance with this Article Four, the Company may exercise its
option under this Section 402 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 403 with respect to the Securities. 

  
 - 57 - 












 Section 403. Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 401 of the option applicable to this Section 403, the Company and each Guarantor
shall be released from its obligations under any covenant or provision contained or referred to in Sections 1005 through 1020, inclusive, and the provisions of clause (iii) of Section 801(a), with respect to the Defeased Securities, on and
after the date the conditions set forth in Section 404 below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and the Defeased Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any
direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such
covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Defeased Securities, the Company and each Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 501(c), (d) or (f) but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Defeased Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 

Section 404. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 402 or Section 403 to the Defeased Securities: 

(1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making
the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (a) cash in United States dollars, (b) U.S. Government Obligations, or (c) a combination thereof, in
such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or a nationally recognized investment banking firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and
discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Defeased Securities, on the Stated Maturity of such principal or interest (or on any date after November 15, 2024
(such date being referred to as the “Defeasance Redemption Date”) if at or prior to electing to exercise either its option applicable to Section 402 or its option applicable to Section 403, the Company has delivered to the
Trustee an irrevocable notice to redeem the Defeased Securities on the Defeasance Redemption Date). For this purpose, “U.S. Government Obligations” means securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America for
the timely payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the timely payment of which is
unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a Depositary receipt issued by a bank
(as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act), as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian for the
account of the holder of such Depositary receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such Depositary receipt from any amount received by
the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such Depositary receipt;

 (2) In the case of an election under Section 402, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Independent Counsel in the United States stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, 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 Independent Counsel in the United States shall confirm that, the Holders and beneficial owners of the Outstanding Securities will not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such 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 defeasance had
not occurred; 
 (3) In the case of an election under Section 403, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Independent Counsel in the United States to the effect that the Holders and beneficial owners of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or insofar as Section 501(g) or
(h) is concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period) (other than a Default which results
from the borrowing of amounts to finance the defeasance and which borrowing does not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default, under any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is a
party or to which it is bound); 
 (5) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
Default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company, any Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound; 

(6) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with
the intent of preferring the holders of the Securities or any Guarantee over the other creditors of the Company or any Guarantor with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company, any Guarantor or others; 

(7) No event or condition shall exist that would prevent the Company from making payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on the Securities on the date of such deposit; and 
 (8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and
an Opinion of Independent Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section 402 or the covenant defeasance under Section 403 (as the case may be) have been complied with. 

  
 - 59 - 












 Opinions of Counsel or Opinions of Independent Counsel required to be delivered under this
Section shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee may have qualifications customary for opinions of the type required and counsel delivering such opinions may rely on certificates of the Company or government or other
officials customary for opinions of the type required, which certificates shall be limited as to matters of fact, including that various financial covenants have been complied with, and such opinions may contain reasonable assumptions if the
redemption price of the Securities is based on a make-whole calculation not determinable at the time of delivery of such opinion. 

Section 405. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all United States dollars and U.S. Government Obligations (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 404 in respect of the Defeased Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (excluding the Company or any of its Affiliates acting as Paying Agent), as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of
principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 404 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is imposed, assessed or for the account of the Holders of the Defeased Securities.

 Anything in this Article Four to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon
Company Request any United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 404 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect defeasance or covenant defeasance. 

Section 406. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 402
or 403, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities and
any Guarantor’s obligations under any Guarantee shall be revived and reinstated, with present and prospective effect, as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 402 or 403, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all 

  
 - 60 - 












 
such United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 402 or 403, as the case may be; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment to
the Trustee or Paying Agent of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall promptly pay any such amount to the Holders of the Securities and the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the United States dollars and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 501(g) and (h)) shall occur and be continuing with respect to
this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued
interest on all Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to 

  
 - 62 - 












 
the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders of the Securities) and upon any such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable immediately.
If an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 501 occurs and is continuing, then all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be due and payable immediately in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
Securities, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date the Securities become due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Thereupon, the Trustee may, at its discretion, proceed
to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of the Securities by appropriate judicial proceedings. 
 After a
declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article Five provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 

(a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 

(i) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, 
 (ii) all overdue interest on all Outstanding Securities, 

(iii) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Outstanding Securities which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities, and 
 (iv) to the extent that payment
of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Securities; 
 (b) the rescission would not conflict
with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and 
 (c) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness
and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 The Company and each Guarantor covenant that if 

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

  
 - 63 - 












 (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security
at the Stated Maturity thereof or otherwise, 
 the Company and such Guarantor will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders
of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate borne by the Securities; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If the Company or any Guarantor, as the case
may be, fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid and may prosecute such proceeding to
judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Indenture or any Guarantee by such appropriate private or judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and
enforce such rights, including seeking recourse against any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any Guarantee, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein
or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy, including, without limitation, seeking recourse against any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of a Guarantee, or to enforce any other proper remedy, subject however to Section 512. No recovery of
any such judgment upon any property of the Company or any Guarantor shall affect or impair any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustee or the Holders. 

Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor, including any Guarantor, upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of
the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, and
premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

  
 - 64 - 












 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Securities. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without
the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment
shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has
been recovered. 
 Section 506. Application of Money Collected. 

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Five or otherwise on behalf of the Holders or the Trustee pursuant to this Article
Five or through any proceeding or any arrangement or restructuring in anticipation or in lieu of any proceeding contemplated by this Article Five shall be applied, subject to applicable law, in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully
paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) under Section 607; 

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, in respect of
which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest; and 

  
 - 65 - 












 THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto, including the
Company, provided that all sums due and owing to the Holders and the Trustee have been paid in full as required by this Indenture. 

Section 507. Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the
Securities, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 
 (a) such Holder has previously
given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 
 (b) the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as trustee hereunder; 

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee an indemnity or furnished security, satisfactory to the Trustee, against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer (and if requested, provision) of indemnity or security has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e) no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities; 

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture, any Security or any Guarantee to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, any Security
or any Guarantee, except in the manner provided in this Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders. 

Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right based on the terms stated herein, which
is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 309) interest on such Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption or repurchase, on the Redemption Date or the repurchase date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

  
 - 66 - 












 Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or any Guarantee and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, any Guarantor, any other obligor on the Securities, the Trustee and the Holders
shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been instituted. 
 Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Five or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 512. Control by Holders. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that 

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 507) or
any Guarantee, expose the Trustee to personal liability, or be unduly prejudicial to Holders not joining therein (it being understood that the Trustee has no affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such direction is unduly prejudicial to such
Holders); and 
 (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 

Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all
Outstanding Securities waive any existing or past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default 

  
 - 67 - 












 (a) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security (which
may only be waived with the consent of each Holder of the Securities affected); or 
 (b) in respect of a covenant or a provision hereof
which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security Outstanding affected by such modification or amendment. 

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 514. Undertaking for Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in
such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 
 Section 515. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury
Laws. 
 Subject to Section 518, each of the Company and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it will 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 or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit
or forgive the Company or any Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities contemplated herein or in the Securities or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and each of the Company and the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 

Section 516. Remedies Subject to Applicable Law. 

All rights, remedies and powers provided by this Article Five may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate
any applicable provision of law in the premises, and all the provisions of this Indenture are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling in the premises and to be limited to the extent necessary so
that they will not render this Indenture invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

 Section 517. Cure of Initial Default Deemed to Cure Subsequent Related Default.

 If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another Default (the “Initial
Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will
also be cured without any further action of the Company or the Trustee. 
 Section 518. Defaults or Events of Default Deemed Cured
by Delivery of Notice or Certificate. 
 Any Default or Event of Default for the failure to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant
to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by such covenant or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified
herein. Any time period in this Indenture to cure any actual or alleged Default or Event of Default may be extended or stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

ARTICLE SIX 
 THE TRUSTEE 

Section 601. Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; 

(b) except during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default: 

(1) the Trustee need perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no covenants or obligations
shall be implied in this Indenture that are adverse to the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of negligence or willful
misconduct 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; 

(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: 

  
 - 69 - 












 (1) this Subsection (c) does not limit the effect of Subsection
(b) of this Section 601; 
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (3) 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 of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Securities relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power confirmed upon the Trustee under this Indenture; 

(d) 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 it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it; 
 (e) whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee
is subject to Subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) and (f) of this Section 601; and 
 (f) the Trustee shall not be liable for
interest on any money or assets received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Assets held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other assets except to the extent required by law. 

Section 602. Notice of Defaults. 

Within 30 days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of the occurrence of any Default, the Trustee shall deliver
by electronic means or transmit by mail to all Holders and any other Persons entitled to receive reports pursuant to Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such Default
hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security, the Trustee

proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such investigation so requested by the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor

hereunder or have any liability for any calculation performed in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereunder;

 Section 604. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Dispositions of Securities or
Application of Proceeds Thereof. 
 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of

Section 606. Money Held in Trust. 

All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were

The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation as the

trust) and the Company covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with any

also including any liability which the Trustee may incur as a result of failure to withhold, pay or report any tax, assessment or other governmental charge, and the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this Section 607 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or
reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute an additional obligation hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or

 Section 610.
Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee. 
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to this Article Six shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee under Section 611. 

(b) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by giving written notice thereof to the Company no
later than 20 Business Days prior to the proposed date of resignation. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed by authority of the Board of Directors of the
Company, a copy of which shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and a copy to the successor trustee. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint and prescribe a successor trustee. 

  
 - 74 - 












 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time upon 30 days’ written notice for any cause
or for no cause by an Act of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 

(d) If at any time: 

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or
by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, 
 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or
of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

then, in any case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (ii) subject to Section 514, the Holder of any Security who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee.
Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause,
the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within 60 days after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such
vacancy, the Company has not appointed a successor Trustee, a successor trustee shall be appointed by the Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee. Such
successor trustee so appointed shall forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment become the successor trustee and supersede the successor trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or
the Holders of the Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, subject to Section 514, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. 
 (f) The Company
shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities as their names and addresses
appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office or agent hereunder. 

  
 - 75 - 












 Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

Every successor trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee as if originally named as Trustee hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges pursuant to Section 607 then unpaid, such retiring
Trustee shall pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. No retiring Trustee shall
have any liability or responsibility for the action or inaction of the successor trustee. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
successor trustee all such rights and powers. 
 No successor trustee with respect to the Securities shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section 611 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible to act as trustee under the provisions of this Article Six. 

Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 611, the Company shall give notice thereof to the
Holders of the Securities, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the appointment, then the notice called for by
the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 610. If the Company fails to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be given at the expense of the Company. 
 Section 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the trust created by this Indenture) shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible to act as Trustee under this Article Six, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. 

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

  
 - 76 - 












 Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or other obligor under the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to
the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent
indicated therein.

Section 905. [Reserved]. 

Section 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. 

Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article Nine may, and shall if
required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the

 Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment. The Company also will maintain an
office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer, redemption or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The office of the Trustee,
at its Corporate Trust Office, will be such office or agency of the Company, unless the Company shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
the location and any change in the location of any such offices or agencies. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required offices or agencies or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands (but not service of process) may be made or served at the office of the Trustee and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee such agent as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.


  
 - 83 - 












 The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designation. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the
location of any such office or agency. 
 The Trustee shall initially act as Paying Agent for the Securities. 

Section 1003. Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust. 

If the Company or any of its Affiliates shall at any time act as Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to
such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act. 

If the Company or any of its Affiliates is not acting as Paying Agent, the Company will, on or before each due date of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in same day funds sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such action or any failure so to act. 

If the Company is not acting as Paying Agent, the Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 
 (b) give the
Trustee written notice of any Default by the Company or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities; 

(c) at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
held in trust by such Paying Agent; and 
 (d) acknowledge, accept and agree to comply in all aspects with the provisions of this Indenture
relating to the duties, rights and liabilities of such Paying Agent.

 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which
such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

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

Section 1004. Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article Eight, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the
corporate existence and related rights and franchises (charter and statutory) of the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise or the
corporate existence of any such Restricted Subsidiary if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries as a whole; and provided, further, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit a sale, transfer or conveyance of a Restricted Subsidiary or any of its assets in compliance with the terms of this Indenture. 

Section 1005. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. 

The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, on or before the date the same shall become due and payable, (a) all
taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shown to be due on any return of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or otherwise assessed or upon the income, profits
or property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries if failure to pay or discharge the same could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company or any Guarantor to perform its obligations
hereunder and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except for any Lien permitted to be incurred under
Section 1011, if failure to pay or discharge 

  
 -85- 












 
the same could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company or any Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings properly instituted
and diligently conducted and in respect of which appropriate reserves (in the good faith judgment of management of the Company) are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

	 	(vii)	 Hedging Obligations incurred by the Company or any Guarantor entered into in the ordinary course of business

foregoing clauses shall reduce the amount available under such clauses so long as such Refinancing Indebtedness remains outstanding); provided that to the extent such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (a) Indebtedness junior to the
Securities or a Guarantee, as applicable, such Refinancing Indebtedness is junior to the Securities or the Guarantee, as applicable, or (b) Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, such Refinancing Indebtedness is Disqualified Stock or Preferred

	 	(xvii)	 Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary, Preferred Stock of (x) the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary incurred to finance an acquisition or (y) Persons that are acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture; provided that after giving effect to such acquisition, merger or consolidation, either:

shall be entitled to classify or reclassify such item on the date of incurrence and from time to time thereafter and only be required to include the amount as one of such types. The Company may also divide and classify such item in more than one of
the types described above. Accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on any


  
 - 89 -

purposes of this Section 1008 provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof as accrued over time is included in the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company. Indebtedness that was outstanding on the Issue Date under any
Credit Facility (other than Indebtedness under any Inventory Facility) is deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (i) and may not be reclassified.

options, warrants or rights to purchase such Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or convertible or exchangeable debt securities that have been converted into or exchanged for such Qualified Capital Stock (other than Qualified Capital Stock,
Disqualified Stock or debt securities sold to a Subsidiary of the Company) or (z) upon the exercise (other than an exercise by a Subsidiary) of any options or warrants or rights to purchase Qualified Capital Stock of the Company (excluding, in
the case of each of the foregoing clause (y) and (z), such Net Cash Proceeds and the Fair Market Value of any assets received for any such issuance, sale or exercise that is financed, directly or indirectly, using funds borrowed by the Company

distributed by the Company or any Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange); provided that such amount shall not exceed the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after March 12, 2010 from the issuance
and sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock; plus

dividends or interest payments received from an EchoPark Entity that is an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent such distributions, dividends or interest payments are distributed or paid as dividends or interest, in each case, pursuant to

that the immediately preceding limitation shall not apply in the case of clause (i) below, and clause (xvi) shall only be subject to the limitation that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby), the
foregoing provision will not apply to or prohibit:

of, or capital contribution in respect of, Qualified Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock); provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance
or other acquisition or any such Investment will be excluded from Section 1009(a)(3)(B);

	 	(xiv)	 Restricted Payments not to exceed $200.0 million under this clause (xiv) in the aggregate, plus, to
the extent Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (xiv) are Investments made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in any Person and such Investment is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid, purchased or
redeemed for cash, an amount equal to the lesser of such (A) cash (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (B) the amount of such Restricted Payment; provided that the amount of such cash will be excluded from Section 1009(a)(3)(D);

business between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, on the one hand, and such EchoPark Entity, on the other, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million; 



(each of the foregoing clauses (i)-(xvi), a “Permitted Payment”). The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash)
will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. 

Section 1010. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. 

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction or
series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or services) with or for the benefit of any Affiliate of the Company (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) (each,
an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless (a) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that would be available in a comparable
transaction in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third party, (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value in excess of $25.0 million, the Company delivers an
Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a) above or such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors of the Board of Directors of the
Company, or in the event there is only one Disinterested Director, by such Disinterested Director, and (c) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value in excess of $50.0 million, either (i) such Affiliate

Trustee a written opinion of an investment banking firm of national standing or other recognized independent expert with experience appraising the terms and conditions of the type of transaction or series of related transactions for which an opinion
is required stating that 

  
 - 95 - 












 
the Affiliate Transaction or the consideration being paid is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; provided, however, that this provision shall
not apply to (i) any employment agreement or any compensation and employee benefit arrangements (or amendments thereto) entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, including the payment of indemnities provided for the benefit of officers, directors or employees and the payment of compensation to the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(ii) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (iii) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns Capital Stock in,

time of such issuance or sale; (vi) the pledge of Capital Stock of Unrestricted Subsidiaries; (vii) loans or advances to officers of the Company in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $5.0 million in any calendar year;
(viii) inventory sales in the ordinary course of business (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any sales of vehicles between the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary on the one hand and any EchoPark Entity on the other hand following any
EchoPark Separation Transaction); (ix) any transactions undertaken pursuant to any contractual obligations in existence on the Issue Date, and any renewals, replacements or modifications of such obligations (pursuant to new transactions or
otherwise); provided that any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the holders of the Securities in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; and
(x) any transactions undertaken in connection with or related to any EchoPark Separation Transaction. 
 Section 1011. Limitation
on Liens. 
 The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur
or affirm any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness, including Attributable Debt, on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens. Any Lien granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”
shall be automatically released if the Liens securing such Indebtedness which gave rise to such Lien shall have been discharged, other than in connection with the exercise of remedies related to such Lien. 

Section 1012. Limitation on Sales of Assets. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate an Asset Sale
unless (i) at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Sale consists of (A) cash or Cash Equivalents, (B) any Indebtedness or other liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent
balance sheet (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Securities or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or terminated by the holder of such liability and the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is released from further liability; (C) Replacement Assets; (D) Designated Non-cash Consideration; or (E) a combination of any of the foregoing; and
(ii) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the 

  
 - 96 - 












 
Fair Market Value of the shares or assets subject to such Asset Sale; provided that any notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from any transferee of
assets from the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash at Fair Market Value within 30 days after receipt shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision. 

(b) Within 545 days after the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may, to the extent the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or its required to by the terms of any Indebtedness) apply an amount up to the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale: 
  

	 	(i)	 to repay Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor secured by a Lien (including Obligations under any Credit
Facility), which Lien is permitted under the Indenture and, if such secured Indebtedness being repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto or (ii) to repay any Indebtedness of
a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is not a Guarantor (other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary); 


  

	 	(ii)	 to fund all or a portion of an optional redemption of the Securities or pursuant to Article Eleven or of the
4.875% Notes or purchase the Securities or the 4.875% Notes in the open market, by tender offer, negotiated transactions or otherwise; 


  

	 	(iii)	 to repay other Pari Passu Indebtedness; provided that the Company shall also equally and ratably reduce
Indebtedness under the Securities in any manner as set forth in clause (ii) above or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1012(c)) to all Holders to purchase, on a pro rata basis, the principal amount
of Securities at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase; 



 

	 	(iv)	 to invest in Replacement Assets; or 



 

	 	(v)	 to undertake any combination of the foregoing. 



The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not used or invested within 545 days of the Asset Sale as set forth in this paragraph constitutes
“Excess Proceeds.” The Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under this Section 1012(b) if a commitment pursuant to a definitive binding agreement is executed within such 545-day period, so long as such acquisition or expenditure is consummated within 180 days of the end of such 545-day period; provided that upon any abandonment or termination
of such commitment, the Net Cash Proceeds not so applied shall constitute Excess Proceeds and be applied as set forth in Section 1012(c). 

  
 - 97 - 












 (c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $75.0 million or more, the
Company will apply the Excess Proceeds to the repayment of the Securities, and any other Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Company to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with the proceeds from any
Asset Sale as follows: (A) the Company will make an offer to purchase (an “Offer”) to all holders of the Securities in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture in the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple
of $1,000) of Securities that may be purchased out of an amount (the “Security Amount”) equal to the product of such Excess Proceeds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Securities,
and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities and such Pari Passu Indebtedness (subject to proration in the event such amount is less than the aggregate Offered Price (as defined herein) of all
Securities tendered) and (B) to the extent required by such Pari Passu Indebtedness to permanently reduce the principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Company will make an offer to purchase or otherwise repurchase or redeem Pari
Passu Indebtedness (a “Pari Passu Offer”) in an amount (the “Pari Passu Debt Amount”) equal to the excess of the Excess Proceeds over the Security Amount; provided that in no event will the Company be required to make a
Pari Passu Offer in a Pari Passu Debt Amount exceeding the principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness plus the amount of any premium required to be paid to repurchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness. The offer price for the Securities will be
payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date (the “Offer Date”) such Offer is consummated (the “Offered Price”), in accordance with the
procedures set forth herein. To the extent that the aggregate Offered Price of the Securities tendered pursuant to the Offer is less than the Security Amount relating thereto or the aggregate amount of Pari Passu Indebtedness that is purchased in a
Pari Passu Offer is less than the Pari Passu Debt Amount, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof
exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon the completion of the purchase of all the Securities tendered pursuant to an Offer and the completion of a Pari Passu Offer, the
amount of Excess Proceeds, if any, shall be reset at zero. 
 (d) If the Company becomes obligated to make an Offer pursuant to clause
(c) above, unless an Offer has been previously made prior to the expiration of the 545-day period stated in (b) above, the Securities and the Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be purchased by the
Company, at the option of the holders thereof, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 (being not less than $2,000 in the case of the Securities), on a date that is not earlier than 15 days and not later than 60 days from the date the
notice of the Offer is given to holders, or such later date as may be necessary for the Company to comply with the requirements under the Exchange Act. 

(e) The Company will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with an Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 1012, the Company shall comply
with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1012 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. 

  
 - 98 - 












 (f) Subject to paragraph (d) above, within 30 days after the date on which the amount
of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $75.0 million, the Company shall send or cause to be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustee and to each Holder, at his address appearing in the Security Register, a notice stating or
including: 
 (1) that the Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase, subject to proration, such
Holder’s Securities at the Offered Price; 
 (2) the Offer Date; 

(3) the instructions a Holder must follow in order to have his Securities purchased in accordance with paragraph (c) of
this Section; 
 (4) (i) the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K
(including audited consolidated financial statements) of the Company, the most recent subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as applicable, and any Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed subsequent to such Quarterly Report, other than Current Reports describing Asset Sales otherwise described in the offering materials (or corresponding successor reports) (or in the event the
Company is not required to prepare any of the foregoing Forms, the comparable information required pursuant to Section 1020), (ii) a description of material developments, if any, in the Company’s business subsequent to the date of the
latest of such reports, (iii) if material, appropriate pro forma financial information, and (iv) such other information, if any, concerning the business of the Company which the Company in good faith believes will enable such Holders to
make an informed investment decision regarding the Offer; 
 (5) the Offered Price; 

(6) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the offices or agencies referred to in Section 1002; 

(7) that Securities must be surrendered prior to the Offer Date to the Paying Agent at the office of the Paying Agent or to an
office or agency referred to in Section 1002 to collect payment; 
 (8) that any Securities not tendered will continue
to accrue interest and that unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Offered Price, any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Offer Date; 

(9) the procedures for withdrawing a tender; and 

(10) that the Offered Price for any Security which has been properly tendered and not withdrawn and which has been accepted for
payment pursuant to the Offer will be paid promptly following the Offered Date. 

  
 - 99 - 












 (g) Holders electing to have Securities purchased hereunder will be required to surrender
such Securities at the address specified in the notice prior to the Offer Date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election to have their Securities purchased pursuant to this Section 1012 if the Company receives, not later than one
Business Day prior to the Offer Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, letter or other communication described in the notice pursuant to paragraph (f) setting forth (1) the name of the Holder, (2) the certificate number of
the Security in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, (3) the principal amount of the Security (which shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) delivered for purchase by the Holder as to which
his election is to be withdrawn, (4) a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such principal amount of such Security purchased, and (5) the principal amount, if any, of such Security (which shall be $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) that remains subject to the original notice of the Offer and that has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company. 

(h) The Company shall (i) not later than the Offer Date, accept for payment Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer,
(ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following the Offer Date, deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Offered Price of all the
Securities or portions thereof which have been so accepted for payment and (iii) not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following the Offer Date, deliver to the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the
Securities or portions thereof accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the Offered Price of the Securities purchased from each such
Holder, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered. Any Securities not so accepted
shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Paying Agent at the Company’s expense to the Holder thereof. For purposes of this Section 1012, the Company shall choose a Paying Agent which shall not be the Company. 

Subject to applicable escheat laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash that remains unclaimed, together
with interest, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Offered Price; provided, however, that (x) to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company with the Trustee in respect of an Offer
exceeds the aggregate Offered Price of the Securities or portions thereof to be purchased, then the Trustee shall hold such excess for the Company and (y) unless otherwise directed by the Company in writing, promptly after the Business Day
following the Offer Date the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon. 
 (i)
Securities to be purchased shall, on the Offer Date, become due and payable at the Offered Price and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Offered Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Such
Offered Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of the Offer Date and the time of delivery of such Security to the relevant Paying Agent at the office of such Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required. Upon
surrender of any such Security for purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Offered Price; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or


  
 - 100 - 












 
prior to the Offer Date shall be payable to the Person in whose name the Securities (or any Predecessor Securities) is registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to the
terms and the provisions of Section 309; provided, further, that Securities to be purchased are subject to proration in the event the Excess Proceeds are less than the aggregate Offered Price of all Securities tendered for purchase, with
such adjustments as may be appropriate by the Trustee so that only Securities in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased. If any Security tendered for purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof by deposit of funds with the Trustee or a Paying Agent in accordance with paragraph (g) above, the principal thereof (and premium, if any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Offer Date at the rate borne by such Security.
Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered to a Paying Agent at the office of such Paying Agent (with, if the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar or the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, one or more new Securities of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal
amount of the Security so surrendered that is not purchased. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Offer Date. 

Section 1013. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. 

If any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor incurs or guarantees any Indebtedness for borrowed money it will, within 30
days of such incurrence or guarantee, become a Guarantor and execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary will agree to guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Securities. The Company also
may, at any time, cause a Restricted Subsidiary to become a Guarantor by executing and delivering a supplemental indenture providing for the guarantee of payment of the Securities by such Restricted Subsidiary on the basis provided in this
Indenture; provided, however, that all Subsidiaries of the Company that have properly been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Indenture for so long as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries, will not have
to comply with the requirements of this Section 1013. 
 Section 1014. Purchase of Securities upon a Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control shall occur at any time, then each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company purchase such
Holder’s Securities in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000, at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Securities, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”), pursuant to the offer described below in this Section 1014 (the “Change of Control Offer”) and in
accordance with the other procedures set forth in subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 1014; provided that the un-repurchased portion of such Securities of any Holder must be equal to a
minimum of $2,000 in principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 - 101 - 












 (b) Within 30 days of any Change of Control, or at the Company’s option, prior to such
Change of Control but after it is publicly announced, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing thereof and give written notice (a “Change of Control Purchase Notice”) of such Change of Control to each Holder by electronic means for
Global Securities or first-class mail, postage prepaid, at the address appearing in the Security Register for physical Securities, stating among other things: 

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred or will occur, the date of such event, and that such Holder has the right to require
the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Securities at the Change of Control Purchase Price; 
 (2) that the Change of
Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 1014 and that all Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment at the Change of Control Purchase Price; 

(3) the Change of Control Purchase Date, which shall be fixed by the Company on a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor
later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, or such later date as is necessary to comply with requirements under the Exchange Act; provided that the Change of Control Purchase Date may not occur prior to the Change of Control;

 (4) the Change of Control Purchase Price; 

(5) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the offices or agencies referred to in Section 1002; 

(6) that Securities must be surrendered on or prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date to the Paying Agent at the office of
the Paying Agent or to an office or agency referred to in Section 1002 to collect payment; 
 (7) that the Change of
Control Purchase Price for any Security which has been properly tendered and not withdrawn will be paid promptly following the Change of Control Offer Purchase Date; 

(8) the procedures that a Holder must follow to accept a Change of Control Offer or to withdraw such acceptance;

(10) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price, any Securities accepted for
payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date. 

  
 - 102 - 












 (c) Upon receipt by the Company of the proper tender of Securities, the Holder of the
Security in respect of which such proper tender was made shall (unless the tender of such Security is properly withdrawn) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Change of Control Purchase Price with respect to such Security. Upon surrender of
any such Security for purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Change of Control Purchase Price; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to the terms and the provisions of
Section 309. If any Security tendered for purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1014 shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof, the principal thereof (and premium, if any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear interest
from the Change of Control Purchase Date at the rate borne by such Security. Holders electing to have Securities purchased will be required to surrender such Securities to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the Change of Control Purchase
Notice at least one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date. Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered to a Paying Agent at the office of such Paying Agent (with, if the Company, the Security Registrar
or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be, duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, one or more new Securities of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Holder in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered that is not purchased; provided that each new Security will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (d) The Company shall, to the extent lawful, (i) not later than the Change of Control
Purchase Date, accept for payment Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following the Change of Control Purchase Date, deposit with
the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof which have been so accepted for payment and (iii) not later than
10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following Change of Control Purchase Date, deliver to the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the Securities or portions thereof accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent
shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price of the Securities purchased from each such Holder, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly
authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered; provided that each new Security will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Securities not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Paying Agent at the Company’s expense to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer
on the Change of Control Purchase Date. For purposes of this Section 1014, the Company shall choose a Paying Agent which shall not be the Company. 

(e) A tender made in response to a Change of Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn if the Company receives, not later than one Business Day
prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter, specifying, as applicable: 

  
 - 103 - 












 (1) the name of the Holder; 

(2) the certificate number of the Security in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; 

(3) the principal amount of the Security (which shall be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) delivered for purchase by the
Holder as to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; 
 (4) a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his
election to have such principal amount of such Security purchased; and 
 (5) the principal amount, if any, of such Security
(which shall be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) that remains subject to the original Change of Control Purchase Notice and that has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company. 

(f) Subject to applicable escheat laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash that remains unclaimed, together
with interest or dividends, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price; provided, however, that, (x) to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to
clause (ii) of paragraph (d) above exceeds the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof to be purchased, then the Trustee shall hold such excess for the Company and (y) unless otherwise directed
by the Company in writing, promptly after the Business Day following the Change of Control Purchase Date the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest, if any, thereon. 

(g) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule
14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with a Change of Control Offer. 

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon or in anticipation of a Change of
Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases
all the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) a notice of redemption has been thereafter given pursuant to Article Eleven and the Securities are redeemed in accordance with the terms of such
notice. 
 Section 1015. [Reserved]. 

Section 1016. Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. 

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist or become
effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make any other distribution on its Capital Stock, or any other interest or participation in or measured by its

(iv) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, except for: (a) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement in effect on the Issue Date; (b) any encumbrance or
restriction, with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary that was not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on the Issue Date, in existence at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and not incurred in connection with, or
in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such encumbrances and restrictions are not applicable to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or the properties or assets of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary other than such Subsidiary which is becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; (c) customary provisions contained in an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or

regulatory body; (e) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease governing any leasehold interest of any Restricted Subsidiary; (f) covenants in franchise agreements with Manufacturers customary for franchise
agreements in the automobile retailing industry; (g) any encumbrance or restriction contained in any Purchase Money Obligations for property to the extent such restriction or encumbrance restricts the transfer of such property provided that any
such encumbrance or restriction is released to the extent the underlying Lien is released or the related Indebtedness is repaid; (h) any encumbrances or restrictions in security agreements securing Indebtedness (other than subordinated
Indebtedness) of a Guarantor (including any Credit Facility or any Inventory Facility) (to the extent that such Liens are otherwise incurred in accordance with Section 1011) that restrict the transfer of property subject to such agreements,
provided that any such encumbrance or restriction is released to the extent the underlying Lien is released or the related Indebtedness is repaid; (i) covenants in Inventory Facilities customary for inventory and floor plan financing in the
automobile retailing industry; (j) any encumbrance related to assets acquired by or merged into or consolidated with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary so long as such encumbrance was not entered into in contemplation of the acquisition,
merger or consolidation transaction; (k) customary non-assignment provisions contained in (a) any lease governing a leasehold interest or (b) any supply, license or other agreement entered into
in the ordinary course of business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (l) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under Section 1011 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets
subject to such Liens; (m) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or vendors under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; (n) restrictions contained in any other indenture or instrument
governing debt or preferred securities that are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in this Indenture governing the Securities; and (o) any encumbrance or restriction existing under any agreement that
extends, renews, refinances or replaces the agreements containing the encumbrances or restrictions in the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (j) or in this clause (o), provided that the terms and conditions of any such encumbrances or restrictions
are no more restrictive in any material respect than those under or pursuant to the agreement evidencing the Indebtedness so extended, renewed, refinanced or replaced. 

Section 1017. [Reserved]. 

  
 - 105 - 












 Section 1018. Limitations on Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the designation and if that designation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default; provided the Company may designate any EchoPark Entity to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the designation and if that designation would not cause an Event of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value
of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted
Payments or Investments, unless, in each case, such designation is permitted as a Permitted Payment under Section 1009 or Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be
permitted (as a Permitted Payment or otherwise) at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. In addition, no such designation may be made unless the proposed Unrestricted Subsidiary does
not own any Capital Stock in any Restricted Subsidiary that is not simultaneously subject to Designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter
cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be
incurred as of such date under Section 1008, the Company will be in Default. 
 The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such revocation would not cause a Default or Event of Default. 
 All designations and revocations pursuant
to this Section 1018 must be evidenced by a Board Resolution of the Company and an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions. Within five Business Days of the designation of any
Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Company shall notify Holders of the Securities of such designation, which notice may be satisfied through the filing or furnishing of a Current Report on Form 8-K
with the Commission. 
 Section 1019. Provision of Reports and Financial Statements. 

Whether or not the Company is subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will, to the extent permitted under the
Exchange Act, file with the Commission the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) if the Company were so subject, such
documents to be filed with the Commission on or prior to the date (the “Required Filing Date”) by which the Company would have been required so to file such documents if the Company were so subject. 

  
 - 106 - 












 To the extent the filing of such reports and documents by the Company with the Commission is
not permitted by the Exchange Act, such reports and documents shall be made available by the Required Filing Date to Holders of Securities and prospective investors in the Securities by posting on a password-protected or other website, which will
announce when such items have been posted (which can be a notification through Intralinks, another password protected or other website of the Company or by email to registered holders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any report or
document is not filed with the Commission or otherwise made available to Holders and prospective investors in the Securities by the Required Filing Date, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at the time
such report or document is provided and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured. 
 Furthermore, to the extent
the filing of such reports and documents by the Company with the Commission is not permitted by the Exchange Act, any such reports and documents provided by posting on a password-protected or other website (A) shall not be required to include
as an exhibit, or to include a summary of the terms of, any employment or compensatory arrangement, agreement, plan or understanding between the Company or its Subsidiaries and any director, manager or officer, of the Company or its Subsidiaries,
(B) will not be required to provide any information that is not otherwise similar to information currently included in the offering memorandum, (C) will not be required to include as an exhibit copies of any agreements, financial
statements or other items that would be required to be filed as exhibits under the rules promulgated by the Commission, and (D) will not be required to include segment reporting. 

If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries or the Company has Restricted Subsidiaries that are not
Guarantors and such Restricted Subsidiaries and/or Unrestricted Subsidiaries, either individually or collectively, would otherwise have been a Significant Restricted Subsidiary, then the annual and quarterly financial information required by the
preceding paragraphs shall include a reasonably detailed summary presentation of the percentage of (1) assets, (2) liabilities, (3) revenue, and (4) solely to the extent the Company elects to include a presentation of the adjusted
EBITDA of the Company in its annual or quarterly reports, Adjusted EBITDA, in each case, represented by the non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries and/or Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the “Management’s
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” section of such annual or quarterly financial information. 

In addition, so long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Company will make available to any prospective purchaser of Securities
or beneficial owner of Securities in connection with any sale thereof the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

For purposes of this Indenture, documents filed by the Company with the Commission via the EDGAR system (or any successor system) will be
deemed filed with the Trustee and provided to Holders and prospective purchasers as of the time such documents are so filed via the EDGAR system (or any successor system). 

  
 - 107 - 












 Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Company will not be deemed
to have failed to comply with any of its obligations in this Section 1019 for purposes of clause (c) under the definition of “Events of Default” until 120 days after the receipt of the written notice delivered thereunder. 

Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and its receipt of such reports shall not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including our compliance with any of our covenants under this Indenture or the Securities (as to which the trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on officers’ certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, our compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the
Commission or EDGAR or any website under this Indenture, or participate in any conference calls. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the filing, timeliness or content of any such report or filing. 

Section 1020. Statement by Officers as to Default. 

(a) The Company will deliver to the Trustee, on or before a date not more than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending
after the date hereof, a written statement signed by two executive officers of the Company and the Guarantors, one of whom shall be the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company and the
Guarantors, as to compliance with this Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees, including whether or not, after a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of the Company’s and each Guarantor’s performance under
this Indenture, to the best knowledge, based on such review, of the signers thereof, the Company and each Guarantor have fulfilled all of their respective obligations and are in compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture
throughout such year and, if there has been a Default specifying each Default and the nature and status thereof and any actions being taken by the Company with respect thereto. 

(b) When any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if the Trustee or any Holder or the trustee for or the holder of
any other evidence of Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed default the Company shall deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or facsimile transmission
followed by an originally executed copy of an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default, Event of Default, notice or other action, the status thereof and what actions the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto, within 30
days after the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured within such 30-day period. 

Section 1021. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 1006 through 1011, 1013 and 1016
through 1020, if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding shall, by Act of such Holders, waive such compliance in such instance
with such covenant or provision, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the
Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

  
 - 108 - 












 Section 1022. Suspension of Certain Covenants. 

(a) If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Securities have Investment Grade Ratings from two of the three Rating Agencies, and
the Company has delivered written notice of such Investment Grade Ratings to the Trustee, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, then, beginning on such date (the “Suspension
Date”), the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 801(a)(iii), 1008, 1009, 1010, 1012, 1013 and 1016 hereof (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 

(b) In the event that the Company and its 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”) (i) two or more of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Securities below an Investment Grade
Rating and/or (ii) the Company or any of its Affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change of Control and two or more of the Rating Agencies indicate that, if consummated, such transaction (alone or
together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Securities below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and
its Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events, including, without limitation, a proposed transaction described in clause (ii) above. The period of time between the Suspension Date
and the Reversion Date is referred to herein as the “Suspension Period.” 
 (c) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be
reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period. During any Suspension Period, the Company may not designate any Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary unless the Company would have been permitted to designate such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if a Suspension Period had not been in effect for any period, and such designation shall be deemed to have created a
Restricted Payment or a Permitted Payment, as the case may be, pursuant to the covenant described under Section 1009 following the Reversion Date. 

(d) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred or Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock issued during the Suspension Period will be
deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under subclause (iv) of the second paragraph of Section 1008. Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as
Restricted Payments under the covenant described under Section 1009 will be made as though the covenant described under Section 1009 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 1009; provided, however, that the items specified in clause (a)(iii) of Section 1009 will increase the amount
available to be made as Restricted Payments thereunder. On the Reversion Date, any consensual encumbrances or consensual restrictions of the type specified in clause (i), 

  
 - 109 - 












 
(ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 1016 entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect on the Issue Date, so that they are permitted under clause
(a) thereunder. Any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to a contract, agreement, loan, advance or guaranty with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company entered into during the Suspension Period
will be deemed to have been in effect as of the Issue Date for purposes of clause (ix) of Section 1010. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 1012, on the Reversion Date, the Net Cash Proceeds from all Asset Sales not
applied in accordance with the covenant will be deemed to be reset to zero. 
 (e) The Company, in an Officers’ Certificate, shall
promptly provide notice to the Trustee of the commencement and termination of any Suspension Period. The Trustee shall have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if any Suspension Date or Reversion Date shall have occurred,
(ii) make any determination regarding the impact on any action taken during any Suspension Period or the Company’s future compliance with any covenants or (iii) notify Holders of the commencement or termination of any Suspension
Period. 
 ARTICLE ELEVEN 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

Section 1101. Rights of Redemption. 

The Securities are subject to redemption, subject to the conditions, and at the Redemption Prices, specified in the Form of Reverse of
Securities, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on relevant Regular Record Dates and Special Record Dates to receive interest due on relevant Interest Payment Dates and
Special Payment Dates). 
 Section 1102. Applicability of Article. 

Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be
made in accordance with such provision and this Article Eleven. 
 Section 1103. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities pursuant to Section 1101 shall be evidenced by a Company Order and an Officers’
Certificate. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, except as otherwise provided herein, the Company shall, not less than 45 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice period
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. 

  
 - 110 - 












 Section 1104. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed in compliance
with the requirements of the principal national security exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed, or if the Securities are not so listed, the Trustee shall select them, by lot or in accordance with the Trustee’s customary
procedures. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar in writing of the Securities selected for redemption
and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Securities and portions of Securities selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; except
that (i) if all of the Securities of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Securities held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed and (ii) if only a portion of the Securities of a Holder
is to be redeemed, the unredeemed portion of the Securities of such Holder must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Securities shall relate,
in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. 

In connection with any redemption of Securities, any such redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to satisfaction or
waiver of one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of securities offerings or other corporate transactions. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions
precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be
rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed (which may exceed 60 days from the date of the redemption notice in such case). In addition,
such notice of redemption may be extended, if such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its discretion) by providing notice to the Holders. 

Section 1105. Notice of Redemption. 

Except as otherwise provided herein, notice of redemption shall be delivered not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Security Register, provided that that redemption notices may be electronically sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is
issued in connection with a conditional redemption, a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. 
 All
notices of redemption shall state: 
 (a) the Redemption Date; 

(b) the Redemption Price; 

  
 - 111 - 












 (c) if less than all Outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the identification of the
particular Securities to be redeemed; 
 (d) in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the principal amount of such Security to be
redeemed and that after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Security, new Security or Securities in the aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued; 

(e) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price; 

(f) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof to be redeemed, and
that (unless the Company shall default in payment of the Redemption Price) interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date; 

(g) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the offices or agencies referred to in Section 1002 where such Securities are to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; 
 (h) the CUSIP number, if any, relating to such Securities; 

(i) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the
Securities; 
 (i) the procedures that a Holder must follow to surrender the Securities to be redeemed; and 

(j) any condition to such redemption. 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s
written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. If the Company elects to give notice of redemption, it shall provide the Trustee with a certificate stating that such notice has been given in compliance with the
requirements of this Section 1105. 
 The notice if delivered in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been
given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 
 Section 1106. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

Except as otherwise provided herein, on or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or,
if the Company or any of its Affiliates is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in same day funds sufficient (as calculated by the Company) to pay the


  
 - 112 - 












 
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date or Special Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be
redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Securities so redeemed payment in an amount equal to the Redemption Price of the Securities purchased from each such Holder. All money, if any, earned on funds held
in trust by the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall be remitted to the Company. For purposes of this Section 1106, the Company shall choose a Paying Agent which shall not be the Company. 

Section 1107. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at
the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Holders will be required to surrender
the Securities to be redeemed to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice of redemption at least one Business Day prior to the Redemption Date. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such
Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates and Special Record Dates according to the terms and the provisions of Section 309. 

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and premium, if any, shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by such Security. 
 Section 1108. Securities Redeemed or
Purchased in Part. 
 Any Security which is to be redeemed or purchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Paying Agent at the
office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the
Security Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be, duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of
such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so
surrendered that is not redeemed or purchased.

 ARTICLE TWELVE 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 1201. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

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 Securities as expressly provided for herein) as to all Outstanding Securities hereunder, and the Trustee, upon Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture, when 
 (a) either 

(1) all the Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (except (i) lost, stolen or destroyed Securities which have
been replaced or paid as provided in Section 308 or (ii) all Securities whose payment has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust
as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (2) all Securities not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company; and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee as trust funds in trust an amount in United States dollars sufficient (as calculated by the Company) to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on, such Securities at such Maturity, Stated Maturity or Redemption Date; 
 (b) the
Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company and any Guarantor; and 
 (c) the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Independent Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, each stating that (i) all conditions precedent herein relating to the
satisfaction and discharge hereof have been complied with and (ii) such satisfaction and discharge will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which
the Company, any Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company, any Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge hereof, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607 and, if United
States dollars shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of subsection (a) of this Section 1201, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 1202 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall
survive. 

  
 - 114 - 












 Section 1202. Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all United States dollars deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 1201 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as
the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities for whose payment such United States dollars have been deposited with the Trustee. 

ARTICLE THIRTEEN 
 GUARANTEES 

Section 1301. Guarantees. 

Subject to this Article Thirteen, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the Obligations of the Company
hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal and premium, if any, of, and interest, if any, on, the Securities will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the
overdue principal and premium, if any of, and interest, if any, on, the Securities, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) hereunder or thereunder will be promptly
paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due
or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, each Guarantor also agrees, unconditionally and jointly and severally with each other
Guarantor, to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee under this Indenture in enforcing any rights under a Guarantee with respect to a Guarantor. Failing payment when due of any
amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collection. 
 The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity
or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims
with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture. 

  
 - 115 - 












 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company,
the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged,
shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation
to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other
hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in
respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Five hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not
impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee. 
 Section 1302. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to
any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Guarantor under this Article Thirteen, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

attorney-in-fact. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its
Guarantee set forth in Section 1301 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee. The execution of this Indenture (or in the case of future Guarantors, a supplemental
indenture as required hereunder) on behalf of a Guarantor by its attorney-in-fact shall constitute a representation and warranty on the part of such Guarantor hereunder

case may be, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture (or in the case of future Guarantors, a supplemental indenture as required hereunder) on behalf of the Guarantors and each of them.

In the event (i) of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, (including by way of
merger, consolidation or otherwise), or a sale or other disposition of all or a majority of the capital stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) the Company or any other
Guarantor, (ii) a Guarantor does not, or ceases to, guarantee or be an obligor of Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Securities) or any refinancing thereof, (iii) the exercise
by the Company of its option under Section 401 to have either Section 402 or 403 or Section 1201 applied to all Outstanding Securities in accordance with the terms set forth in Article Four (with respect to Sections 402 or 403) or
Article Twelve (with respect to Section 1201) hereof, (iv) the designation by the Company of any Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 1018 hereof or (v) the liquidation,
winding up or dissolution of any Guarantor, then such Guarantor (upon the occurrence of an event described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this paragraph) or the corporation acquiring the property (upon the occurrence of an event
described in clause (i) of this paragraph) will be automatically and unconditionally released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee. In addition, concurrently with the payment in full of all of the obligations under this
Indenture, the Guarantors shall be released from and relieved of their obligations under this Article Thirteen. 
 Any Guarantor not
released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Securities and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article Thirteen.
