WHEREAS, the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor, certain subsidiaries of the Issuers and the Trustee have duly authorized, executed and delivered
the Base Indenture to provide for the issuance from time to time of the Issuers’ debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness, to be issued in one or more series unlimited as to principal amount (herein called “Debt

WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 of the Base Indenture, the Issuers desire to execute this Supplemental Indenture to establish the

 1 








 WHEREAS, all things necessary and prescribed by the Base Indenture, by law and by the
organizational documents of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor have been done to make the Notes, when executed by the Issuers and authenticated and delivered hereunder and duly issued by the Issuers, the valid obligations of the Issuers, and all
things necessary have been done to make the Guarantee thereof, when the Notes have been executed by the Issuers and authenticated and delivered hereunder and duly issued by the Issuers, the valid obligations legally binding on the Parent Guarantor;

 WHEREAS, all conditions precedent to amend or supplement the Base Indenture have been met; 

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

Section 1.01 Application of this Supplemental Indenture. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, including as provided in

Base Indenture. The Notes constitute a series of Debt Securities as provided in the Base Indenture. Unless otherwise expressly specified, references in this Supplemental Indenture to specific Article numbers or Section numbers refer to
Articles and Sections contained in this Supplemental Indenture, and not the Base Indenture or any other document. 
 Section 1.02
Effect of Supplemental Indenture. 
  
 With respect to the Notes

 (a) Articles I through XIV of the Base Indenture are deleted and replaced in
their entirety by Articles II through XII of this Supplemental Indenture; and

(such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing in Section 5 of the Notes) plus (ii) all required interest payments due on the Note through March 1, 2019 (excluding interest paid prior to the redemption date and accrued
but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points, over (b) the principal amount of the Notes on such redemption date.

the rate actually chosen, or, if not, then based upon such operational rate chosen as the Issuers may designate. Interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based on the
average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in clause (1) of this definition. Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a

Asset Acquisition, Asset Disposition, Permitted Mortgage Investment, asset acquisition or asset disposition, as the case may be, such pro forma calculation shall be based upon the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding the

ARTICLE III 
 THE NOTES

 Section 3.01 Form and Dating. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in
the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. The Issuers shall approve the form of the Notes and any notation, legend or endorsement on them. Each Note
shall show the date of its authentication. Each Note shall have an executed Guarantee from each of the Guarantors existing on the Issue Date endorsed thereon substantially in the form of Exhibit C. 

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes and the Guarantees shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture
and, to the extent applicable, the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 

The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of a single permanent global Note in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit A (the “Initial Global Notes”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Issuers (and having an executed Guarantee from each of the Guarantors endorsed thereon) and
authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legend set forth in Exhibit B. 
 The Notes issued after the
Issue Date shall be issued initially in the form of one or more global Notes in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Issuers (and
having an executed Guarantee from each of the Guarantors endorsed thereon) and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear any legends required by applicable law (together with the Initial Global Notes, the “Global
Notes”) or as Physical Notes. 

  
 29 








 The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or
decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository as hereinafter provided. Notes issued in exchange for interests in a Global Note pursuant to Section 3.15 may be issued in the form of permanent
certificated Notes in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A and bearing the applicable legends, if any (the “Physical Notes”). 

Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Issuers without notice to or
consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise (other than with respect to the purchase price thereof and the date from which
the interest accrues) as the Initial Notes; provided that the Issuers’ ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Issuers’ compliance with Section 5.08. Except as described under Article X, the Initial Notes and
any Additional Notes subsequently issued under this Supplemental Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Supplemental Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, and shall vote
together as one class on all matters with respect to the Notes; provided further that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number,
if applicable. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Notes” for all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture include any Additional Notes that are actually issued. 

Section 3.02 Execution, Authentication and Denomination; Additional Notes. One Officer of each of the Issuers (who shall have been
duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) shall sign the Notes for each Issuer by manual, facsimile, .pdf attachment or other electronically transmitted signature. One Officer of each Guarantor (who shall have been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate actions) shall sign the Guarantee for such Guarantor by manual, facsimile, .pdf attachment or other electronically transmitted signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note or Guarantee, as the case may be, was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds
that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note (and the Guarantees in respect
thereof) shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Supplemental Indenture.

 The Trustee shall authenticate (i) on the Issue Date, the Initial Notes, and (ii) the Additional Notes in an unlimited amount
(so long as not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, including Section 5.08) in each case, upon a written order of the Issuers in the form of a certificate of an Officer of each Issuer (an “Authentication
Order”). Each such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional


  
 30 








 
Notes and whether the Notes are to be issued as certificated Notes or Global Notes or such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request. In addition, with respect to authentication
pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph, the first such Authentication Order from the Issuers shall be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel of the Issuers in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

 All Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Supplemental Indenture.
The Additional Notes shall bear any legend required by applicable law. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably
acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Supplemental Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuers and Affiliates of the Issuers. 

The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof. 
 Section 3.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuers shall maintain or cause to be maintained an office or
agency in the United States of America where (a) Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), (b) Notes may, subject to Section 2 of the Notes, be presented or
surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers of their obligation to maintain or cause to be maintained an office or agency in the United States of America, for such
purposes. The Issuers may act as Registrar or Paying Agent, except that for the purposes of Articles IV and IX and Sections 5.07 and 5.11, neither the Issuers nor any Affiliate of the Issuers shall act as Paying Agent. The Registrar, as an agent of
the Issuers, shall keep a register, including ownership, of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers, upon notice to the Trustee, may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent until such time as the Trustee
has resigned or a successor has been appointed. 
 The Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party
to this Indenture, which agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee, in advance, of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar
or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. 
 Section 3.04 Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust. The Issuers shall require
each Paying Agent other than the Trustee or the Issuers or any Subsidiary of the Issuers to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all 

  
 31 








 
assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Issuers or any other obligor on the Notes), and
shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Issuers (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets
disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets distributed.
Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Issuers to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets. 

Section 3.05 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders,
which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee. 
 Section 3.06 Transfer and Exchange. Subject to Section 3.15,
when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the
exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Issuers and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the
Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 Without the prior written consent of the Issuers, the Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note
(i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part
pursuant to Article IV, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part and (iii) beginning at the opening of business on any Record Date and ending on the close of business on the related Interest Payment Date. 

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial
interests in such Global Notes may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) in accordance with the applicable legends thereon, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note
shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system. 
 Section 3.07 Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered
to the Trustee or if the Holder claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, a replacement Note if the Trustee’s and
Issuers’ requirements are met. Such Holder shall provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both the Issuers and the Trustee, to protect 

  
 32 








 
the Issuers, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers may charge such Holder for its out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Note
pursuant to this Section 3.07, including fees and expenses of counsel and of the Trustee. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional
obligation of the Issuers and every replacement Guarantee shall constitute an additional obligation of the Guarantor thereof. 
 The
provisions of this Section 3.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes. 

Section 3.08 Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except
those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 3.08 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers, the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates hold
the Note (subject to the provisions of Section 3.09). 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 3.07 (other than a mutilated
Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon
surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 3.07. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid
under Section 5.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue. If on a Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Issuers or an Affiliate thereof) holds U.S. Legal Tender or U.S.
Government Obligations sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest due on the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

Section 3.09 Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuers or any of their Affiliates shall be disregarded as required by the Trust Indenture Act, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any
such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to
the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuers or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuers or of such
other obligor. 
 Section 3.10 Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the
Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so
long as the Notes are represented by a Global Note, such Global Note may be in typewritten form. 

  
 33 








 Section 3.11 Cancellation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee
for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent and any Transfer Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying
Agent (other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary of the Issuers), and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the Issuers, shall dispose of all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its
customary procedures. Subject to Section 3.07, the Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuers or any Guarantor shall acquire any of the Notes, such
acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 3.11. 

Section 3.12 Defaulted Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, they shall pay the defaulted
interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in any lawful manner. The Issuers may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the 15th
day next preceding the date fixed by the Issuers for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15 days before any such subsequent special record date, the Issuers shall mail to
each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. 

Section 3.13 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers, and
if so, the Trustee shall use the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness
or accuracy of the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers. 
 Section 3.14 [Reserved]. 

Section 3.15 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. 

(a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be
delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) if applicable, bear the legend set forth in Exhibit B. 

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any
Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depository may be treated by the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the
Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee from giving effect to 

  
 34 








 
any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. 
 (b) Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part,
to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of
this Section 3.15. In addition, Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Notes if (i) the Depository notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to act as
Depository for any Global Note, the Issuers so notify the Trustee in writing and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Issuers within 90 days of such notice or (ii) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Registrar has received a written request from any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note to issue Physical Notes. Upon any issuance of a Physical Note in accordance with this Section 3.15(b) the Trustee is required to register such
Physical Note in the name of, and cause the same to be delivered to, such person or persons (or the nominee of any thereof). All such Physical Notes shall bear the applicable legends, if any. 

(c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section 3.15, the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the
principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note so transferred. 
 (d) In connection with the transfer of a
Global Note as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 3.15, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and (i) the Issuers shall execute, (ii) the
Guarantors shall execute notations of Guarantees on and (iii) the Trustee shall upon written instructions from the Issuers authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest
in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations. 
 (e) The Holder of any Global
Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold interests through Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 

(f) General. The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this
Section 3.15. The Issuers and Trustee 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 Registrar. 

  
 35 








 The Trustee and Registrar shall have no 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 Note (including any transfers between or among Participants or beneficial owners of interests in
any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the actions or
omissions of the Depository, or the accuracy of the books and records of the Depository. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the actions or omissions of the Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent, or the accuracy of the books and
records of such Agent. Whenever reference is made to this Indenture to any transfer, transaction or other action involving a Global Note or any beneficial interest therein, the rules and procedures of the Depository for such Note, in each case to
the extent applicable to such transfer, transaction or other action as in effect from time to time shall apply and be controlling with respect to such Note. 

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been
exchanged for Physical Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.11
hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Physical Notes,
the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or the Depository at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the
beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made
on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depository at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 
 ARTICLE IV 

REDEMPTION 

Section 4.01 Notices to Trustee. The Notes may be redeemed, in whole, or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and
at the redemption prices set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 of the form of Notes set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture. If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes
pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of the Notes, they shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. The Issuers shall give notice of redemption to the
Trustee at least 36 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice period is satisfactory to the Trustee), together with such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed. 

  
 36 








 Section 4.02 Selection of Notes To Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to
be redeemed at any time pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of the Notes, the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption as follows: 
  

	 	(x)	in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are then listed; or 

  

	 	(y)	on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any such other method in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, in each case, as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; 


provided, however, that, in the case of such redemption pursuant to Section 6 of the Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes on a pro
rata basis to the extent practicable, by lot or such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate, unless another method is required by law or applicable exchange or depository requirements (subject to the
procedures of the Depository). 
 No Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. 

Section 4.03 Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Issuers shall mail a
notice of redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, or as otherwise provided in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address (with a copy to the Trustee or the
Registar, as applicable), except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to
Article IX hereof. Notices of redemption may be given prior to the completion of an Equity Offering, and any redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to the completion of an Equity Offering. At the Issuers’ request,
the Trustee shall forward the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at the Issuers’ expense. Each notice for redemption shall identify the Notes (including the CUSIP or ISIN number) to be redeemed and shall state: 

 

	 	(1)	the Redemption Date; 

  

	 	(2)	the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to be paid; 

  

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

  

	 	(4)	that Notes called for redemption shall be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any; 


 

	 	(5)	that, unless the Issuers default in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is
to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed; 

  

	 	(6)	if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, and upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, a new Note or Notes in
aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued; 


  
 37 









	 	(7)	if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate
principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption; and 

  

	 	(8)	the Section of the Notes or this Indenture, as applicable, pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed. 


The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such
notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.
Except as otherwise provided in this Article IV, notices of redemption may not be conditional. 
 At the Issuers’ request, the Trustee
shall give the notice of redemption in the name of the Issuers and at its expense; provided that the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be
mailed to Holders pursuant to this Section 4.03 (unless a shorter notice period is satisfactory to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such
notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
 Section 4.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is
mailed in accordance with Section 4.03, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, such Notes called for
redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price (which shall include accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date), but installments of interest, the maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be payable
to Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates. On and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to
receive payment of the Redemption Price unless the Issuers shall have not complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 4.05. 

Section 4.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or before 12:00 p.m. New York City time (or such later time as has been agreed to by
the Paying Agent) on the Redemption Date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent
shall promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

If the Issuers comply with the preceding paragraph, then, unless the Issuers default in the payment of such Redemption Price plus accrued
interest, if any, interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. 

  
 38 








 Section 4.06 Notes Redeemed in Part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the
notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note or Notes shall be issued in the name
of the Holder thereof upon surrender and cancellation of the original Note or Notes. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s
Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. 
 Section 4.07 Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth
herein, the Issuers will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 ARTICLE V

 COVENANTS 

Section 5.01 Payment of Notes. The Issuers shall pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in the manner
provided in the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture. An installment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Issuers or an Affiliate thereof) holds no
later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on that date U.S. Legal Tender designated for and sufficient to pay the installment. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

 Section 5.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Issuers shall maintain in the United States of America, the office or agency required under Section 3.03 (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar). The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to
the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations and surrenders may be made at the address of the Corporate Trust Office. 
 The Issuers may also, from time to time, designate
one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Subsidiary of the Parent; provided, however, that the Parent and the Issuers shall not be required to preserve any such right or corporate existence with respect to themselves or any Restricted Subsidiary if the Board of Directors of
the Parent or any Officer of the Parent shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of the business of the Parent, the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the
loss thereof could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuers to perform their obligations hereunder and provided, further, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit a sale,
transfer, conveyance, lease or disposal of a Restricted Subsidiary or any of the Parent’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s assets in compliance with the terms of this Indenture. 

Section 5.04 [Reserved]

propose to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 5.06 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Issuers and each Guarantor
covenants (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would
prohibit or forgive such Issuer or such Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of and/or interest on the Notes or the Guarantee of any such Guarantor as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force,
or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and 

  
 40 








 
(to the extent permitted by applicable law) each hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall 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 5.07 Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuers to purchase some or all (in minimum principal
amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). 

(b) Any Change of Control Offer will include a cash offer price of 101% of the principal amount of any Notes purchased plus accrued and

(e) The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations to
the extent those laws and regulations are applicable to any Change of Control Offer. If the provisions of any of the applicable securities laws or securities regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 5.07, the Issuers will comply
with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the covenant described above by virtue of that compliance. 

(f) The Issuers shall not be obligated to make or consummate a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the
Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this 

  
 41 








 
Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or if notice of redemption has

not limited to, the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Offer to Purchase is made. 

Section 5.08 Limitation on Indebtedness. 

(a) The Issuers shall not and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness)
if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such additional Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Issuers and the Restricted
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would be greater than 60% of consolidated Adjusted Total Assets of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(b) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Secured Indebtedness (including Acquired
Indebtedness that is Secured Indebtedness) if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such additional Secured Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding
Secured Indebtedness of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would be greater than 40% of consolidated Adjusted Total Assets of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(c) The Issuers shall not and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired
Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) if, after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and the receipt and
application of the proceeds therefrom, the Interest Coverage Ratio of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would be at least 2.0 to 1.0; provided that the amount of Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness)
that may be Incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors shall not exceed in the aggregate 5% of consolidated Adjusted Total Assets of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(d) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (except as specified below)
may Incur each and all of the following:

	 	(i)	the Issuers evidenced by an unsubordinated promissory note, or 


  
 42 









	 	(ii)	any Restricted Subsidiary; 

 provided, however, that any event that results in any
such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuers or any subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (other than to the Issuers or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuers) shall be deemed, in each case, to
constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (2); 
 (3) Indebtedness of the Issuers or any of
their Restricted Subsidiaries under Currency Agreements and Interest Rate Agreements; provided that such agreements (x) are designed solely to protect the Issuers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries against fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates or interest rates (whether fluctuations of fixed to floating rate interest or floating to fixed rate interest) and (y) do not increase the Indebtedness of the obligor outstanding at any time other than as a result of
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates or by reason of fees, indemnities and compensation payable thereunder; 

(4) Indebtedness of the Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, to the extent the net proceeds thereof are promptly:

(12) Indebtedness supported by a letter of credit procured by the Issuers or their Restricted Subsidiaries in a principal
amount not in excess of the stated amount of such letter of credit and where the underlying Indebtedness would otherwise be permitted; 

(13) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance
or replace, Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under the provisions of Sections 5.08(a), (b) and (c) or clauses (6), (7), (13) or (15) of this
Section 5.08(d); 
 (14) Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) Incurred by the Issuers or any
Restricted Subsidiary within 270 days of the related purchase, lease or improvement, to finance the purchase, lease or improvement of property (real or personal) or equipment used in the business of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether
through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the greater of (x) $120,000,000 and (y) 2.0% of consolidated Adjusted
Total Assets of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries at any time outstanding; or 
 (15) additional Indebtedness of
the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the greater of (x) $240,000,000 and (y) 4.0% of consolidated Adjusted Total Assets of the Issuers and the Restricted
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under clause (13) above in respect of such Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been incurred under this clause (15) for purposes of
determining the amount of Indebtedness that may at any time be incurred under this clause (15). 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section 5.08, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Parent, the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 5.08 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding
Indebtedness, due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. 

  
 44 








 (f) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this
Section 5.08, 
 (1) Indebtedness Incurred and outstanding under the Credit Agreement on or prior to the Issue Date
shall be treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of paragraph (d) of this Section 5.08, and 
 (2)
Guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included. 

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 5.08, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than
one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (15) of paragraph (d) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, the Issuers shall, in their sole
discretion, be entitled to classify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence or issuance and determine the order of such incurrence or issuance (and may later reclassify such item of Indebtedness) and may divide
and classify such Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described. At any time that the Issuers or the Restricted Subsidiaries would be entitled to have incurred any then outstanding Indebtedness under paragraphs (a),
(b) and (c) of this Section 5.08, such Indebtedness shall be automatically reclassified into Indebtedness incurred pursuant to those paragraphs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indebtedness Incurred and outstanding under the Credit
Agreement on or prior to the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred under clause (1) of paragraph (d) above and may not be reclassified. Indebtedness permitted by this Section 5.08 need not be permitted solely by reference
to one provision permitting such Indebtedness, but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 5.08 permitting such Indebtedness. For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding
principal amount of any particular Indebtedness shall be counted only once and any obligations arising under any guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument supporting such Indebtedness shall not be double counted. 

For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar-equivalent
principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of
revolving credit debt; provided, however, that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar denominated restriction to be
exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness
does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced, plus the amount of any reasonable premium (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs and any reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
issuance of such new Indebtedness. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other 

  
 45 








 
Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such
respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 Section 5.09 Limitation on Restricted
Payments. 
 (a) Opco shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

Issuers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors; (ii) the payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement (collectively, a “purchase”) of Subordinated Indebtedness purchased in anticipation of satisfying a

redemption with respect to a transaction described in clauses (3) or (5) of Section 5.09(b); or

Person who is not a Subsidiary of the Parent of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Capital Stock of Opco or Parent (in each case, exclusive of any Disqualified Stock or any options, warrants or other rights that are redeemable at the
option of the holder for cash or Indebtedness, or are required to be redeemed, prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes), plus 

  

	 	(iii)	100% of (x) the aggregate net cash proceeds and (y) the fair market value of other property, in any such case, received by means of the sale or other disposition (other than to the Issuers or a Restricted

 (2) the payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of any

fractional shares of Capital Stock upon exercise or conversion of securities exercisable or convertible into Capital Stock of the Parent and the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares of Capital Stock upon exercise or
conversion of securities exercisable or convertible into Capital Stock of Opco; or 

  
 50 








 (11) additional Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$420,000,000; 
 provided, however, that, except in the case of clauses (2) and (3), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing or occur as a direct consequence of the actions or payments set forth therein. 
 (c) The net amount of any Restricted
Payment permitted pursuant to Section 5.09(b)(1) and (2) (adjusted to avoid double counting) shall be included in calculating whether the conditions of Section 5.09(a)(4)(C) have been met with respect to any subsequent Restricted
Payments. The net amount of any Restricted Payment permitted pursuant to clauses (3) through (11) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be excluded in calculating whether the conditions of Section 5.09(a)(4)(C) have been met
with respect to any subsequent Restricted Payments. The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued to or
by the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. 
 Section 5.10 Maintenance of
Total Unencumbered Assets. The Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries shall maintain Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Indebtedness of the Issuers and their
Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. 
 Section 5.11 Limitation on Asset Sales. 

(a) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale, unless: 

(1) the consideration received by the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary is at least equal to the fair market value of the
assets sold or disposed of; and 
 (2) at least 75% of the consideration received consists of cash, Temporary Cash
Investments or Replacement Assets, or a combination of cash, Temporary Cash Investments or Replacement Assets; provided, however, with respect to the sale of one or more properties that up to 75% of the consideration may consist of
Indebtedness of the purchaser of such properties so long as such Indebtedness is secured by a first priority Lien on the property or properties sold. 

(b) For purposes of this Section 5.11, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: 

(1) any liabilities of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary (as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the
Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to an agreement that
releases the Issuers or any such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability with respect to such liabilities or that are assumed by contract or operation of law; 

  
 51 








 (2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by an Issuer or any such
Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Temporary Cash Investments within 180 days (to the extent of the cash or Temporary Cash Investments received in that conversion);
and 
 (3) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Issuers or any such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset
Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (3) that is at the time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $120,000,000 and
(y) 2.0% of consolidated Adjusted Total Assets of the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration
being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value. 
 (c) Within 365 days after the receipt of
any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuers or any such Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Cash Proceeds: 

(1) to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuers or a Subsidiary Guarantor that is Secured
Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers); 
 (2) to make an
Investment in (provided such Investment is in the form of Capital Stock), or to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, a Person engaged in a Permitted Business if such Person is, or will become as a result thereof, a Restricted
Subsidiary; 
 (3) to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase (x) Pari Passu Indebtedness of an Issuer or of any Subsidiary
Guarantor or any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor; provided, however, that if the Issuers or a Guarantor shall so prepay, repay, redeem or purchase any such Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Issuers
shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes if the Notes are then prepayable or, if the Notes may not then be prepaid, the Issuers shall make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below) with the ratable proceeds to
all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon, up to the principal amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid, or (y) any Indebtedness of a Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor; 
 (4) to fund all or a portion of an optional redemption of the Notes
pursuant to Section 5 of the Notes; 
 (5) to make a capital expenditure; 

(6) to acquire Replacement Assets to be used or that are useful in a Permitted Business; or 

(7) any combination of the foregoing; 

  
 52 








 provided that the Issuers shall be deemed to have complied with the provisions described in clauses (2),
(5) and (6) of this paragraph if and to the extent that, within 365 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Cash Proceeds, the Issuers or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding
agreement to acquire the assets or Capital Stock of a Permitted Business, acquire Replacement Assets or make a capital expenditure in compliance with the provisions described in clauses (2), (5) and (6) of this paragraph (each an
“Acceptable Commitment”), and that an Acceptable Commitment (or a replacement commitment should the Acceptable Commitment be subsequently cancelled or terminated for any reason) is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end
of such 365-day period. Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Issuers may temporarily reduce the revolving Indebtedness under any Credit Facility or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not
prohibited by this Indenture. The amount of such excess Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied (or to be committed to be applied) during such 365-day period as set forth in this paragraph (c) and not so applied by the end of such period shall
constitute “Excess Proceeds.” 
 (d) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds the greater of $50,000,000 and
1.0% of consolidated Adjusted Total Assets (the “Excess Proceeds Cap”), the Issuers shall make an offer to all Holders and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is Pari Passu Indebtedness, to the holders of such Pari
Passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000, that may be purchased
out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuers will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed the Excess Proceeds Cap by delivering the
notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuers may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Excess Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Excess
Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 365 days or with respect to Excess Proceeds equal to the Excess Proceeds Cap or less. 

(e) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than
the Excess Proceeds, the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such
holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Registrar shall select the Notes and the Issuers shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or
such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero. 

(f) Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to this Section 5.11, the holder of such Net Cash Proceeds may apply
such Net Cash Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 

  
 53 








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

Section 5.12 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any
transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the rendering of any service) with any Holder (or any Affiliate of such Holder) of 10% or more of any class of Capital Stock of the Parent or with any Affiliate
of the Parent, an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case involving consideration in excess of $15,000,000, except upon terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained, at
the time of such transaction or, if such transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not such a Holder or an
Affiliate. 
 (b) The limitation set forth in Section 5.12(a) does not limit, and shall not apply to: 

(1) transactions (A) approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Board of Directors of the Parent, or
where no such disinterested directors exist, by unanimous approval of the directors of the Board of Directors of the Parent or (B) for which the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the Trustee a written opinion of a nationally
recognized investment banking, appraisal or accounting firm stating that the transaction is fair to the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; 

(2) any transaction solely between an Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or solely between Restricted Subsidiaries;

 (3) the payment of reasonable fees and compensation (including through the issuance of Capital Stock) to, and
indemnification and similar arrangements on behalf of, current, former or future directors, officers, employees or consultants of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of Parent; 

(4) the issuance or sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of an Issuer; 

(5) any Restricted Payments not prohibited by Section 5.09 and Investments constituting Permitted Investments; 

(6) any contracts, instruments or other agreements or arrangements in each case as in effect on the date of this Indenture,
and any transactions pursuant thereto 

  
 54 








 
or contemplated thereby, or any amendment, modification or supplement thereto or any replacement thereof entered into from time to time, as long as such agreement or arrangements as so amended,
modified, supplemented or replaced, taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries at the time executed than the original agreement or arrangements as in effect on the date of this Indenture;

 (7) any employment, consulting, service or termination agreement, or customary indemnification arrangements, entered into
by an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary with current, former or future officers and employees of the Parent or an Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary and the payment of compensation to officers and employees of the Parent, an Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans, employee stock option or similar plans), in each case in the ordinary course of business; 

(8) loans and advances to officers and employees of the Parent, an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or guarantees in
respect thereof (or cancellation of such loans, advances or guarantees), for bona fide business purposes, including for reasonable moving and relocation, entertainment and travel expenses and similar expenses, made in the ordinary course of
business; 
 (9) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Parent or an Issuer solely because the Parent or an
Issuer, directly or indirectly, owns Capital Stock of, or controls such Person; 
 (10) any transaction with a Person who is
not an Affiliate immediately before the consummation of such transaction that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transaction; or 

(11) the entering into or amending of any tax sharing, allocation or similar agreement and any payments thereunder. 

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.12(a) and 5.12(b), any transaction or series of related transactions covered by Section 5.12(a) and
not covered by clauses (2) through (11) of Section 5.12(b) the aggregate amount of which exceeds $30,000,000 in value shall be approved or determined to be fair in the manner provided for in Section 5.12(b)(1)(A) or (B). 

Section 5.13 Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become
effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (1)
pay dividends or make any other distributions permitted by applicable law on any Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary owned by an Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

  
 55 








 (2) pay any Indebtedness owed to an Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary;

 (3) make loans or advances to an Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or 

(4) transfer its property or assets to an Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary. 

(b) Section 5.13(a) shall not restrict any encumbrances or restrictions: 

(1) existing under, by reason of or with respect to this Indenture, the Credit Agreement and any other agreement in effect on
the Issue Date as in effect on the Issue Date, and any amendments, modifications, restatements, extensions, increases, supplements, refundings, refinancing, renewals or replacements of such agreements; provided, however, that the
encumbrances and restrictions in any such amendments, modifications, restatements, extensions, increases, supplements, refundings, refinancing, renewals or replacements are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those in effect on
the Issue Date; 
 (2) existing under, by reason of or with respect to any other Indebtedness of the Issuers or their
Restricted Subsidiaries permitted under this Indenture; provided, however, that the Issuers have determined in good faith that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreement or agreements governing the other Indebtedness
are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in customary comparable financings and will not impair in any material respect the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ ability to make payments on the Notes and
Guarantees thereof when due; 
 (3) existing with respect to any Person or the property or assets of such Person acquired by
an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, existing at the time of such acquisition and not Incurred in contemplation thereof, which encumbrances or restrictions are not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such
Person or the property or assets of such Person so acquired and any amendments, modifications, restatements, extensions, increases, supplements, refundings, refinancing, renewals or replacements thereof; provided, however, that the
encumbrances and restrictions in any such amendments, modifications, restatements, extensions, increases, supplements, refundings, refinancing, renewals or replacements are entered into in the ordinary course of business or not materially more
restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the instruments or agreements with respect to such Person or its property or assets as in effect on the date of such acquisition; 

(4) existing under, by reason of or with respect to provisions in joint venture, operating or similar agreements; 

  
 56 








 (5) in the case of Section 5.13(a)(4): 

 

	 	(i)	that restrict in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is a lease, license, conveyance or contract or similar property or asset, 


 

	 	(ii)	existing by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on, any property or assets of an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture,


  

	 	(iii)	existing under, by reason of or with respect to (1) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business or (2) capital leases or operating leases that impose encumbrances or
restrictions on the property so acquired or covered thereby, or 

  

	 	(iv)	arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of an Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary in any manner material to an Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole; 

 (6) any
encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor which was previously an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to or by reason of an agreement that such Subsidiary is a party to or entered into before the date on
which such Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such agreement was not entered into in anticipation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and any such encumbrance or restriction does not extend to
any assets or property of the Issuers or any other Restricted Subsidiary other than the assets and property of such Subsidiary; and 

(7) with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary and imposed pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or
disposition of the Capital Stock of, or property and assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending the closing of such sale or other disposition. 

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.13 shall prevent an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from restricting the sale or other
disposition of property or assets of an Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that secure Indebtedness of the Issuers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 5.13, (1) the
priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (2) the
subordination of loans or advances made to a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances. 

  
 57 








 Section 5.14 Future Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Issuers will cause each U.S. domestic Restricted Subsidiary that borrows under or Guarantees the Credit Agreement to, within 30 days
thereof, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest in respect of the Notes on a senior basis and all other obligations under this Indenture. 
 (b) Any Subsidiary Guarantee by a
Restricted Subsidiary shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon: 

(1) any sale, exchange or transfer, to any Person that is not a Subsidiary of an Issuer of Capital Stock held by an Issuer and
its Restricted Subsidiaries in, or all or substantially all the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary (which sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture) such that, immediately after giving effect to such transaction, such
Restricted Subsidiary would no longer constitute a Subsidiary of an Issuer, 
 (2) in connection with the merger or
consolidation of a Subsidiary Guarantor with (a) an Issuer or (b) any other Subsidiary Guarantor (provided that the surviving entity remains a Subsidiary Guarantor), 

(3) if the Issuers properly designate any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, 
 (4) upon the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, 
 (5) upon a liquidation or dissolution of a Subsidiary Guarantor permitted under this
Indenture, or 
 (6) the release or discharge of the Guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Subsidiary Guarantee,
except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee. 
 (c) In addition, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be
automatically and unconditionally released and discharged if such Subsidiary ceases to Guarantee obligations under the Credit Agreement or ceases to constitute a co-borrower with respect to the Credit Agreement. 

Section 5.15 Reports to Holders. 

(a) Whether or not Opco is then required to file reports with the SEC, Opco shall file with the SEC all such reports and other information as
it would be required to file with the SEC by Sections 13(a) or 15(d) under the Exchange Act if it was subject thereto; provided, however, that, if filing such documents by Opco with the SEC is not permitted under the Exchange Act, Opco
shall, within 15 days after the time Opco would be required to file such 

  
 58 








 
information with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act, provide such documents and reports to the Trustee and upon written request supply copies of such
documents and reports to any Holder and shall post such documents and reports on Opco’s public website. Opco shall supply the Trustee and each Holder or shall supply to the Trustee for forwarding to each such Holder, without cost to such
Holder, copies of such reports and other information. Delivery of such information, documents and reports to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuers’ compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

 (b) So long as permitted by the SEC, at any time that either (x) one or more Subsidiaries of Opco is an Unrestricted
Subsidiary or (y) Opco holds directly any material assets (including Capital Stock) other than the Capital Stock of the Issuers then the quarterly and annual financial information required by this Section 5.15 will include a reasonably
detailed presentation, either in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” or any other comparable section, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuers and
their Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries and other material assets of the Issuers. 

(c) Opco shall also, within a reasonably prompt period of time following the disclosure of the annual and quarterly information
required above, conduct a conference call with respect to such information and results of operations for the relevant reporting period. No fewer than three Business Days prior to the date of the conference call required to be held in accordance with
the preceding sentence, Opco shall issue a press release to the appropriate internationally recognized wire services announcing the date that such information will be available and the time and date of such conference call. 

(d) So long as the Parent is a Guarantor of the Notes, the Indenture will permit Opco to satisfy its obligations under this
Section 5.15 with respect to filing, furnishing, providing and posting documents, reports and other information relating to Opco by the Parent’s filing, furnishing, providing and posting, as the case may be, of such documents, reports and
other information relating to the Parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail and in the same manner described in the Prospectus the differences between the information
relating to the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries on the one hand, and the information relating to the Parent, the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors on a standalone basis, on the other hand, as of the ending date of the period covered by
such report. 
 Section 5.16 Suspension of Covenants. During a Suspension Period, the Parent, the Issuers and the Restricted
Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Section 5.09, 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, 5.14 or 6.01(a)(3) (each a “Suspended Covenant”). All other provisions of this Indenture shall apply at all times during any Suspension Period so long as any
Notes remain outstanding hereunder; provided that the Interest Coverage Ratio that will be applicable under Section 5.08(c) will be 1.5 to 1.0 during any Suspension Period. 

“Suspension Period” means any period (1) beginning on the date that: 

 

	 	(A)	the Notes have Investment Grade Status; 


  
 59 









	 	(B)	no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and 

  

	 	(C)	the Issuers have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee certifying that the conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above are satisfied; 


and (2) ending on the date (the “Reversion Date”) that the Notes cease to have Investment Grade Status, notice of which shall be
provided to the Trustee. 
 On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness, liens thereon and dividend blockages incurred during the Suspension
Period prior to such Reversion Date shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date. 
 For purposes of calculating the amount
available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 5.09(a)(C), calculations under that clause shall be made with reference to the Transaction Date, as set forth in that clause. Accordingly, (x) Restricted Payments made during the
Suspension Period not otherwise permitted pursuant to any of clauses (1) through (11) of Section 5.09(b), shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 5.09(a)(C); provided,
however, that the amount available to be made as a Restricted Payment on the Transaction Date shall not be reduced to below zero solely as a result of such Restricted Payments, but may be reduced to below zero as a result of negative
cumulative Funds From Operations during the Suspension Period for the purpose of Section 5.09(a)(C)(i), and (y) the items specified in Section 5.09(a)(C)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) that occur during the Suspension
Period shall increase the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 5.09(a)(C). Any Restricted Payment made during the Suspension Period that are of the type described in Section 5.09(b) (other than the Restricted
Payment referred to in clauses (1) or (2) of Section 5.09(b) or any exchange of Capital Stock for Capital Stock or Indebtedness referred to in clause (4) or (5) of Section 5.09(b)), and the Net Cash Proceeds from any
issuance of Capital Stock referred to in clauses (4) and (5) of Section 5.09(b) (adjusted to avoid double counting) shall not be included in calculating the amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 5.09(a)(C) on each
Reversion Date. 
 For purposes of Section 5.11, on each Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero. 

No Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date (or thereafter) under any Suspended Covenant solely as a
result of any actions taken by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiaries thereof, or events occurring, during the Suspension Period. For purposes of Section 5.10, if the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not in compliance with
Section 5.10 as of a Reversion Date, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred for up to 120 days following the Reversion Date; provided that neither the Parent nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall incur any
Secured Indebtedness until such time that the requirements of Section 5.10 have been met. 

  
 60 








 Section 5.17 Limitation on Activities of Finco. 

Finco may not hold any material assets, become liable for any material obligations, engage in any trade or business, or conduct any business
activity, other than (1) the issuance of its Capital Stock to Opco or any wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary of Opco, (2) the incurrence of Indebtedness as a co-obligor or guarantor, as the case may be, of the Notes, the Credit Agreement
and any other Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under Section 5.08; provided that the net proceeds of such Indebtedness are not retained by Finco, and (3) activities incidental thereto. Neither the Parent nor any
Restricted Subsidiary shall engage in any transaction with Finco in violation of the immediately preceding sentence. 
 ARTICLE VI

 SUCCESSOR CORPORATION 

Section 6.01 Consolidation Merger and Sale of Assets. 

(a) No Issuer shall consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ (taken as a whole) property and assets (as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to, any Person or permit any Person (other than a Restricted
Subsidiary) to merge with or into it unless: 
 (1) such Issuer shall be the continuing Person, or the Person (if other than
such Issuer) formed by such consolidation or into which such Issuer is merged or that acquired such property and assets of such Issuer shall be a corporation, limited liability company, partnership (including a limited partnership) or trust
organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state or jurisdiction thereof and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all of the obligations of such Issuer
with respect to the Notes and under this Indenture (provided that in the case of a limited liability company, partnership (including a limited partnership) or trust, there shall also be a corporation organized and validly existing under the
laws of the United States of America or any state or jurisdiction thereof which shall expressly jointly with such limited liability company, partnership (including a limited partnership) or trust, assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and
delivered to the Trustee, all of the obligations of such Issuer with respect to the Notes and under this Indenture); 
 (2)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at
the beginning of the applicable Four-Quarter Period, on a pro forma basis the Issuers, or any Person becoming the successor obligor of the Notes, as the case may be, (a) could Incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraphs
(a) and (c) of Section 5.08 or (b) could Incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraph (a) of Section 5.08 and the Interest Coverage Ratio would improve; provided, however, that this clause
(3) shall not apply to a consolidation or merger with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary; and 

  
 61 








 (4) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate (attaching
the arithmetic computations to demonstrate compliance with clause (3) above) and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture complies with this Section 6.01 and
that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied with and, with respect to the Opinion of Counsel, that the supplemental indenture constitutes a valid and binding obligation enforceable against the
Issuers, or the Person (if other than an Issuer) formed by such consolidation or into which such Issuer is merged or that acquired all or substantially all of such Issuer’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ property and assets; 

provided, however, that clause (3) above does not apply if, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Parent, whose
determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution, the principal purpose of such transaction is to change the state of domicile of an Issuer; provided further, however, that any such transaction shall not have as one of its
purposes the evasion of the foregoing limitations. 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 11.04, the Issuers shall not permit any
Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey or transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its property and assets to any Person, unless: 

(1) (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not such Subsidiary) shall be a Person organized and existing
under the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Subsidiary was organized or under the laws of the United States of America, or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and (ii) such Person shall expressly assume, by a supplemental
indenture, all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, under the Notes or its Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable; provided, however, that the foregoing requirement in clause (ii) shall not apply in the case of a
Subsidiary Guarantor or all or substantially all of its property and assets (x) that has been disposed of in its entirety to another Person (other than to an Issuer or an Affiliate of an Issuer), whether through a merger, consolidation or sale
of Capital Stock or assets or (y) that, as a result of the disposition of all or a portion of its Capital Stock, ceases to be a Subsidiary, so long as, in both cases, in connection therewith the Issuers provide an Officer’s Certificate to
the Trustee to the effect that the Issuers shall comply with their obligations under Section 5.11; 
 (2) immediately
after giving effect to such transaction or transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person as a result of such transaction as having been issued by
such Person at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (3) the Issuers
deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture, if any, complies with this Indenture and, with respect to the Opinion of
Counsel, that the supplemental indenture constitutes a valid and binding obligation enforceable against the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Parent and the surviving Persons. 

  
 62 








 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may (i) merge with an Affiliate
of an Issuer or an Affiliate of a Restricted Subsidiary or another Subsidiary Guarantor solely for the purpose of changing the state of domicile of the Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) merge with or into or transfer all or part of its properties and
assets to another Subsidiary Guarantor or the Issuers, or (iii) convert into a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or trust organized under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary
Guarantor, provided that such surviving Person (if not a Subsidiary Guarantor) shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, all of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, under the Notes its Subsidiary Guarantee. 

(d) Upon any such consolidation, combination or merger of an Issuer or a Guarantor, or any such sale, conveyance, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of an Issuer in accordance with this Section 6.01, in which such Issuer or such Guarantor is not the continuing obligor under the Notes or its Guarantee and a supplemental indenture is
entered into pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(1) or Section 6.01(b)(1), as the case may be, the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or into which such Issuer or such Guarantor is merged or the entity to which the sale, conveyance,
transfer or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, such Issuer or such Guarantor under this Indenture and, the Notes and the Guarantees with the same effect as if such surviving
entity had been named therein as such Issuer or such Guarantor and such Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes or in respect of its Guarantee, as the case
may be, and all of such Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s other obligations and covenants under the Notes, this Indenture and its Guarantee, if applicable.

	 	(i)	an event of default that has caused the Holder thereof to declare such Indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its Stated Maturity and such Indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not

 Section 7.02
Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 7.01 that occurs with respect to an Issuer) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuers and Paying Agent (and to the Trustee and Paying Agent if such notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request
of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration,
such principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in clause (6) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is
continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) of Section 7.01 shall be remedied or cured by the relevant Issuer or
Significant Subsidiary or waived by the Holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto. 

If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 7.01 occurs with respect to an Issuer, the principal of,
premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of at least a majority in
principal 

  
 65 








 
amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuers and to the Trustee may waive all past Defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if: 

 

	 	(x)	all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; and


  

	 	(y)	the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. 


No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

Section 7.03 Other Remedies. If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at
law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay
or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon a Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All
available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 7.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections
3.09, 7.07 and 10.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer of Notes) by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default
and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal of, or interest on, any Note as specified in Section 7.01(1) or (2). The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the requisite percentage
of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. When a Default is waived, it is cured and ceases. 

Section 7.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. Subject to Section 8.01, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction
received from the Holders; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 

Section 7.06 Limitation on Suits. No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or any
Note or Guarantee or for any remedy hereunder or thereunder, unless: 
 (1) the Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default; 

  
 66 








 (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity
satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request
within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request. 

However, such limitations do not apply to the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on, such Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the due date expressed in the Notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder.

 Section 7.07 Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder to receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on, a Note, on or after the respective due dates therefor, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired
or affected without the consent of the Holder. 
 Section 7.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If a Default in payment of principal
or interest specified in Section 7.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of
principal and accrued interest and fees remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne
by the Notes and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

Section 7.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to
the Issuers, their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian in any such judicial
proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07. 

  
 67 








 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding. The Trustee shall be entitled to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors in the matters as it deems necessary or advisable. 

Section 7.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VII, it shall pay out the money or
property in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee for amounts due hereunder, including under Section 8.07; 

Second: to Holders for interest accrued on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and
payable on the Notes for interest; 
 Third: to Holders for principal amounts due and unpaid on the Notes, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal; and 
 Fourth: to the Issuers or, if applicable,
the Guarantors, as their respective interests may appear. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders
pursuant to this Section 7.10. 
 Section 7.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and
the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section 7.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 7.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 

Section 7.12 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right
or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings or
any other proceedings, the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies hereunder of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though
no such proceeding has been instituted.

 ARTICLE VIII 

TRUSTEE 

Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If a 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 their exercise 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:

of Counsel) furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, 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: 

(1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 8.01(b).

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 to take or omit to take any action under this Indenture or take any
action at the request or direction of Holders if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it.

Section 8.01. 

  
 69 








 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or
direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
therein or thereby. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate (including any Officer’s Certificate), statement, instrument, opinion (including any Opinion of Counsel), notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion,

the books, records, and premises of the Issuers, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuers. 

  
 70

 (i) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be
construed as duties. 
 (j) Except with respect to Section 5.05, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of

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

Section 8.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers, their Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee shall comply with Sections
8.10 and 8.11. 
 Section 8.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation
as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuers in this Indenture or any document
issued in connection with the sale of Notes or any statement in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee makes no representations with respect to the effectiveness or adequacy of this Indenture. 

Section 8.05 Notice of Default. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is deemed to be known to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 8.02(j), the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the uncured Default within 60 days after the Trustee is deemed to know such Default occurred. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of, or interest on, any Note,
including an accelerated payment and the failure to make a payment pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer and/or Change of Control Offer or a Default in complying with the provisions of Article VI, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the
Board of Directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers, of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. 

Section 8.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each March 1, beginning with March 1, 2017, the Trustee
shall, to the extent that any of the events described in Trust Indenture Act § 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with Trust Indenture Act
§ 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act §§ 313(b), 313(c) and 313(d). 

  
 71 








 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Issuers and
filed with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. 
 The Issuers shall notify the Trustee if the Notes
become listed on any securities exchange or of any delisting thereof and the Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act § 313(d). 

Section 8.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuers shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Issuers
and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for its services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee upon
request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may
be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

The Issuers shall indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and its agents for, and hold them harmless against, any and all
loss, damage, claims including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), liability or expense incurred by them except for such actions to the extent caused by any negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on their part, arising out of or in connection with this Indenture including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any
of the Trustee’s rights, powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or any of its agents for which it may seek indemnity, provided that failure to provide such notice
shall not relieve the Issuers of their obligations in this Section 8.07. The Issuers may, at the request of the Trustee, defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense; provided that the Trustee and its agents subject to
the claim may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if the Issuers assume the
Trustee’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between the Issuers and the Trustee and its agents subject to the claim in connection with such defense as reasonably determined by the Trustee. The Issuers need not pay for any settlement
made without their written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, to secure the Issuers’ payment obligations in this
Section 8.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes against all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes.

 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default specified in Section 7.01(8) or 7.01(9) occurs, such expenses
and the compensation for such services shall be paid to the extent allowed under any Bankruptcy Law. 

  
 72 








 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the foregoing provisions of this
Section 8.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

Section 8.08 Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 8.08. The Trustee may resign with 60 days prior written notice by so notifying the Issuers in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Issuers and the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuers may remove the Trustee if: 

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10; 

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; 

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

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuers shall notify each Holder of
such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee
appointed by the Issuers. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the
Issuers. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.07, all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in
Section 8.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its
succession to each Holder. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee, the Issuers or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Issuers. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.08, the
Issuers’ obligations under Section 8.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 8.09 Successor
Trustee by Merger, Etc. Any business entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or


  
 73 








 
any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

 ARTICLE IX 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE, DEFEASANCE 

Section 9.01 Termination of the Issuers’ Obligations. The Issuers may terminate their obligations under the Notes and this
Indenture and the obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantees and this Indenture, and this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect, except those obligations referred to in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 9.01, if: 

(1) either 

(A) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or
paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Issuers or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

 (B) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or
(2) will become due and payable within one year, or 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 Issuers, and the Issuers have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be, together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuers directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment
thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

  
 74 








 (2) the Issuers have paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the
Parent or the Issuers, and 
 (3) the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 

In the case of clause (1)(B) of this Section 9.01, and subject to the next sentence and notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the
Issuers’ obligations in Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 8.07, 9.05 and 9.06 shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 3.08. After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the
Issuers’ obligations in Sections 8.07, 9.05 and 9.06 shall survive. 
 After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon
request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuers’ obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above. 

Section 9.02 Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. 

(a) The Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have either paragraph (b) or (c) below be applied to all outstanding
Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 9.03. 
 (b) Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 9.02(a)
hereof of the option applicable to this Section 9.02(b), the Issuers and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.03, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect
to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 9.04 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied all of their obligations under the Guarantees and this Indenture
(and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

 

	 	(i)	the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 9.04, and as more fully set forth in such Section 9.04, payments in respect of the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and Section 5.02 hereof; 


  
 75 









	 	(iii)	the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuers’ obligations in connection therewith; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the provisions of this Article IX applicable to Legal Defeasance. 

 Subject to compliance with
this Article IX, the Issuers may exercise their option under this Section 9.02(b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.02(c). 

(c) Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 9.02(a) hereof of the option applicable to this Section 9.02(c), the Issuers and
the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.03, be released from their respective obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 5.03 (other than with respect to the legal existence of the
Issuers), 5.04, 5.07 through 5.16 and clause (3) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 9.03 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants,
but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to
the outstanding Notes, the Issuers and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 7.01, but, except
as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 9.03, clauses (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) of Section 7.01 shall not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 9.03 Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of
either Section 9.02(b) or 9.02(c) hereof to the outstanding Notes: 
 (1) the Issuers shall irrevocably deposit with
the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders subject to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, U.S. Legal Tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without reinvestment), in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the Issuers, to pay the principal of and interest (including premium, if any) on the Notes on the stated date for payment or on the redemption date of the Notes;


  
 76 








 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America confirming that: 
  

	 	(i)	the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service, a ruling, or 

  

	 	(ii)	since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law, 

 in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon this Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that the Holders and beneficial owners will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will
be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United
States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders and beneficial owners will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S.
Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

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

(5) the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under
any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is bound (other than any such Default or default relating to any
Indebtedness being defeased from any borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to such Indebtedness, and the granting of Liens on the deposited funds in connection therewith); 

(6) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by
them with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Issuers or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other of their creditors or others; and 

(7) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
the conditions provided for in, in the case of the Officer’s Certificate, clauses (1) through (6), as applicable, and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, clauses (2), if applicable, and/or (3) and (5) of this
Section 9.03 have been complied with. 

  
 77 








 Section 9.04 Application of Trust Money. Subject to Section 9.05, the Trustee or
Paying Agent shall hold in trust all U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article IX, and shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender and the money from U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with
this Indenture to the payment of the principal of and the interest on the Notes. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to invest said U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations, except as it may agree with the Issuers. 

The Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Legal Tender and
U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.03 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof, other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 

Anything in this Article IX to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the
Issuers’ request any U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.03 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 that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Section 9.05 Repayment to the Issuers. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuers upon request any money held by
them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After payment to the Issuers, Holders entitled to such money shall look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another
Person. 
 Section 9.06 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender and U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with this Article IX by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture, and the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article IX until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all
such U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article IX; provided that if the Issuers have made any payment of interest on, or principal of, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; 
 (9) to conform the text of this
Indenture or the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Prospectus; to the extent that such provision in the “Description of Notes” section of the Prospectus was intended to be a

(a) Subject to Section 7.07, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, together, with the consent of the Holder or Holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes without notice to or consent from any other party to this Indenture may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees, without notice to any other Holders.
Subject to Sections 7.07, the Holder or Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees without notice to any other
Holders. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 10.02(a), without the consent of each Holder affected, no amendment or waiver may: 

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note; 

(2) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Note or make the Notes payable in money other than
stated in the Note; 
 (3) change the place of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Note;

acceleration, have been cured or waived); 
 (7) voluntarily release a Guarantor of the Notes, except as permitted by this
Indenture;

necessary for waiver of compliance with Sections 7.02 and 7.04; or 
 (9) modify or change any provisions of this Indenture
affecting the ranking of the Notes as to right of payment or the Guarantees thereof in any manner adverse to the Holders. 

  
 80 








 (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 10.02 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

(d) A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with an exchange (in the case of
an exchange offer) or a tender (in the case of a tender offer) of such Holder’s Notes shall not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange. 

(e) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 10.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment,
supplement or waiver. 
 Section 10.03 Compliance with the Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment, waiver or supplement of this
Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 
 Section 10.04 Revocation and
Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of his Note by notice to the Trustee or the Issuers received
before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any
amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who
were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall
be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. The Issuers shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if applicable. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses
(1) through (9) of Section 10.02(b), in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder’s Note; provided, however, that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and interest on, a Note, on or after the respective due dates
therefor, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder. 

  
 81 








 Section 10.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver
changes the terms of a Note, the Issuers may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Issuers shall provide the Trustee with an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and cause the Trustee to return it to
the Holder at the Issuers’ expense. Alternatively, if the Issuers or the Trustee so determines, the Issuers in exchange for the Note shall issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make
the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 10.06 Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant
to this Article X; provided, however, that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article X
is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, all conditions precedent thereto have been compiled with and constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuers enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions.
Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Issuers. 
 ARTICLE XI 

GUARANTEE 

Section 11.01 Guarantee. Subject to this Article XI, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally
guarantees on a senior unsecured basis to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the
obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall 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 Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall 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. 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 Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to
any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Subject to
Section 7.06 hereof, each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, demand of 

  
 82 








 
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, 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 Notes and this Indenture. 

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers 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 VII 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 VII hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the
purpose of this Guarantee. 
 Section 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes,
each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of 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 XI, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each
Guarantor that makes a payment for distribution under its Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the adjusted net assets of each Guarantor. 

Section 11.03 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each Guarantor
hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit C shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be
executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. 

  
 83 








 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Guarantee no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The
delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 

Section 11.04 Release of a Guarantor. A Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under
its Guarantee and its obligations under this Indenture in the event of: 
 (1) any sale, exchange or transfer, to any Person
not a Subsidiary of the Parent of Capital Stock held by the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in, or all or substantially all the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary (which sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture), such
that, immediately after giving effect to such transaction, such Restricted Subsidiary would no longer constitute a Subsidiary of the Parent, 

(2) in connection with the merger or consolidation of a Subsidiary Guarantor with (a) an Issuer or (b) any other
Guarantor (provided that the surviving entity remains a Guarantor), 
 (3) if Parent properly designates any Restricted
Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, 
 (4) upon the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, 
 (5) upon a liquidation or dissolution of a Subsidiary Guarantor permitted
under this Indenture, or 
 (6) the release or discharge of the Guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Subsidiary
Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee. 
 In addition, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall
be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged if such Subsidiary ceases to Guarantee obligations under the Credit Agreement or ceases to constitute a co-borrower with respect to the Credit Agreement. 

The Trustee may execute an appropriate instrument prepared by the Issuers evidencing the release of a Guarantor from its obligations under its
Guarantee and this Indenture upon receipt of a request by the Issuers or such Guarantor accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 11.04; provided,
however, that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officer’s Certificates of the Issuers. 

Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into an Issuer (in
which case such Guarantor shall no longer be a Guarantor) or another Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to an Issuer or another Guarantor.
