 (a) The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A-1 (in the case of the Dollar Notes) and Exhibit A-2 (in the case of the Euro Notes) hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules or usage. Each Note shall be dated the

attached thereto and each shall provide that it shall represent up to the aggregate principal amount of Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time

by the Registrar or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the holder thereof as required by Section 2.07 hereof. 

(c) Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Custodian and registered in the name of the applicable Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of
designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Issuer and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Restricted Period shall be terminated upon the receipt by
the Trustee of: 
 (1) a written certificate from the applicable Depositary, together with copies of certificates
from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of each Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any beneficial

Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.07(b) hereof); and 
 (2) an Officer’s
Certificate from the Issuer. 
 Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in each Regulation S

 -48- 









 
the corresponding Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee shall cancel the corresponding Regulation S Temporary Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of a Regulation S Temporary
Global Note and a Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar and the applicable Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers
of interest as hereinafter provided. 
 (d) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the
“Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream shall
be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream. 

SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication. One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

Note shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Note shall not be valid until and authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the
certificate of authentication on the Notes in accordance with this Section 2.03. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order (an “Authentication Order”) and an Opinion of
Counsel conforming with Section 314(c) of the TIA, authenticate and deliver (i) the Initial Dollar Notes and (ii) the Initial Euro Notes. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall upon receipt of an Authentication
Order authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes and Exchange Notes for an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes or Exchange Notes issued hereunder. 

The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Notes. Any such
appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do
so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer. The Trustee hereby appoints
DBTCA as authenticating agent for the Dollar Note and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. (“DBL S.A.”), as authenticating agent for the Euro Notes and each of DBTCA and DBL S.A. accept such appointment. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 9.02, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent
together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote or consent) as one class and no series of Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. For purposes of any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval
or other action of the holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of Notes, the principal amount, on the relevant date of determination, of Notes, the holders of which have so consented or otherwise taken action, and of Notes then
outstanding, shall be calculated in U.S. Dollars, with the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Euro Notes converted into U.S. Dollars using the U.S. Dollar-equivalent on the Issue Date.

surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), (b) Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment and (c) notices and demands to or 

 

 -49- 









 
upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Paying Agent shall not be the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes
and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer, 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 “Paying Agent” includes the Dollar
Paying Agent and/or the Euro Paying Agent (as the context requires) and any additional paying agent, and the term “Registrar” includes the Dollar Registrar and/or the Euro Registrar (as the context requires and) and any Co-Registrar. The
Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any holder. 
 The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate
agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall incorporate the provisions of the TIA and implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee, in advance, of
the name and address of any such Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. 

The Issuer initially appoints the Collateral Agent as the U.S. Registrar and U.S. Paying Agent with respect to the Dollar Notes and
initially appoints Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch as Euro Paying Agent and Common Depositary and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as Euro Registrar with respect to the Euro Notes, in each case until such time as such entity has resigned or a successor
has been appointed. 
 The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent
and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such
successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause
(i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign upon 30 days prior written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as
Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08. 
 SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. With respect to any
Dollar Notes, prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, and with respect to any Euro Notes, prior to 10:00 am London time, on each due date of the principal of and interest on any Note, the Issuer shall deposit with each Paying Agent (or if the Issuer
or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent
(other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee
of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, a Paying Agent shall have no further
liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.06. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current
a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least
five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of holders.

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a holder of a Definitive
Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.08, 3.08, 4.06, 4.08 and 9.05 hereof). 

(iii) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (iv) All
Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(v) The Issuer shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.04 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to
exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date. 
 (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any
Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including Additional Interest, if
any) on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and the Registrar shall mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03 hereof.

 (ix) All certifications, certificates, Officer’s Certificates and
Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.07 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 

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

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes. 
 SECTION 2.09. Outstanding
Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by the Registrar, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to
Section 13.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to
Section 2.08. 
 If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date
or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the
holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

SECTION 2.10. [Intentionally Omitted]. 

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Registrar for cancellation. The Registrar and each
Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. The Registrar and each Paying Agent
shall give written notice to the Trustee of any Notes delivered to them and cancelled. Subject to Section 2.08, the Issuer 

 

 -64- 









 
may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. However, if the Company 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 2.11. 
 SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If
the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the
defaulted interest to the Persons who are holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or
cause to be mailed to each affected holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, Etc. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code”
numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that
no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall advise the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers. 

SECTION 2.14. Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination,
shall be the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such
percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of
such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09, Section 9.02 and Section 13.06 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to
this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

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

(b) At the Issuer’s request, the Registrar and each Paying Agent shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and
at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Registrar and each Paying Agent with the information required by this Section at least one Business Day prior to the date such notice is to be provided to holders in the final
form such notice is to be delivered to holders and such notice may not be canceled. 
 SECTION 3.06. Effect of Notice of
Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.05, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice, except as provided in the final
sentence of Section 5 of the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 hereto. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest,
to, but not including, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the holder of the redeemed
Notes registered on the relevant Record Date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other holder. 

SECTION 3.07. Deposit of Redemption Price. With respect to any Dollar Notes, prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, and with
respect to any Euro Notes, prior to 10:00 am London time, on each due date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender (in the case of Dollar Notes) and/or euro (in the case of Euro Notes) funds sufficient to pay the principal

Euro Notes) so deposited that is not required for that purpose, except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article Seven. 

Unless the Issuer fails to comply with the preceding paragraph and defaults in the payment of such redemption price, 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. 

SECTION 3.08. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall issue and,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon
cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of,
plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest (if any) on, the Notes to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 3.09. Special
Mandatory Redemption. The Notes will be subject to a mandatory redemption (a “Special Mandatory Redemption”) in the event that either the Escrow Proceeds have not been released to the Escrow Agent for distribution in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement (the “Release Date”) on or before the Escrow End Date or (ii) prior to the Escrow End

Date, the Issuer has determined, in its reasonable discretion, that the escrow conditions cannot be satisfied by such date (any such date, a “Trigger Date”). The Issuer will
cause the notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to be mailed no later than the next Business Day following the Trigger Date and will redeem the Notes five Business Days following the date of the notice of redemption. 

The redemption price for any Special Mandatory Redemption will be the sum of 100% of the Gross Proceeds plus the Specified Premium of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued on the Issue Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from the Issue Date up to but not including the date of the Special Mandatory Redemption (the “Special Mandatory
Redemption Price”). 
 If the Escrow Agent receives a notice of a Special Mandatory Redemption pursuant to the terms of
the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent will liquidate all Escrow Proceeds then held by it not later than the last Business Day prior to the date of the Special Mandatory Redemption. Concurrently with release of the amounts necessary to fund the
Special Mandatory Redemption to the applicable Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent will release any excess of Escrow Proceeds over the Special Mandatory Redemption Price as specified in the Escrow Agreement, and the Issuer will be permitted to use such
excess Escrow Proceeds refunded to it at its discretion.

subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; 
 provided, however, that the Company shall not be so obligated to file
such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event, the Company will make available such information to prospective purchasers of Notes in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and the holders, in each
case within 15 days after the time the Issuer would be required to file such information with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to furnish any information, certificates or reports required by Items
307 or 308 of Regulation S-K prior to the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement.

Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock under Section 4.03(a) or clause (xiii) or (xvii)(x) (or clause (xv) to the extent constituting a guarantee of Indebtedness Incurred under Section 4.03(a) or clause (xiii) or (xvii)(x))
of Section 4.03(b) if, after giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence or issuance (including a pro forma application of the net cash proceeds therefrom), the aggregate amount of Indebtedness and Disqualified Stock and Preferred
Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) and clauses (xiii) and (xvii)(x) (or clause (xv) to the extent constituting a guarantee of Indebtedness Incurred under
Section 4.03(a) or clause (xiii) or (xvii)(x)) of Section 4.03(b), collectively, would exceed the greater of $400.0 million and 4.0% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors.

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

(i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the
criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xxv) of Section 4.03(b) or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), the Company, in its sole discretion,
classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03; provided that Indebtedness
Incurred, or committed for, under the Credit Facilities and the Plan Roll-Up Notes on or before the Release Date or pursuant to an Oil Indexed Credit Facility shall at all times be deemed to be Incurred under clauses (ii) and (iii) of
Section 4.03(b); and 
 (ii) at the time of Incurrence, the Company will be entitled to divide and classify
an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Sections 4.03(a) and (b) without giving pro forma effect to the Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b) when calculating the amount of
Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a). 
 Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the
payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, amortization of original issue discount, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of
Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03.
Guarantees of, or Obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of
Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03. 

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the
U.S. 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 or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. Dollar Equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; or if any such Indebtedness is subject to a Currency Agreement with respect to the currency in which such Indebtedness is
denominated covering principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness and such interest and premium, if any, shall be determined after giving effect to all payments in

  

 -76- 









 
respect thereof under such Currency Agreement; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would
cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have
been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any
Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other 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 4.04. Limitation on Restricted
Payments. 
 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

series of securities); 
 (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the
Company or any direct or indirect parent entity of the Company;

Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus 
 (ii) 100% of
the aggregate net cash proceeds, including cash and the Fair Market Value of property other than cash, received by the Company after March 31, 2012 (other than net cash proceeds to the extent such net cash proceeds have been used to Incur

any parent, such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock is retired or extinguished) after March 31, 2012, plus 

(v) 100% of the aggregate amount received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in cash and the Fair Market Value
of property other than cash received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after March 31, 2012 from:

(B) the sale (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of the Capital Stock of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, plus 
 (vi) in the event any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company has been

declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

in accordance with Section 4.03 so long as: 
 (A) the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable)
of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value

The Company will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the definition of
“Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so
designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will only be permitted if a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in
such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

Notwithstanding Section 4.04(b)(x), prior to March 31, 2012 the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted

giving effect to such payment, the Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio of the Company would be greater than 2.00 to 1.00.

imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary;

is a Guarantor or a Foreign Subsidiary, (b) of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor or a Foreign Subsidiary so long as such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument will not materially affect the
Company’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes (as determined in good faith by the Company) or (c) of any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred in connection with any Project Financing, provided that in
the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Release Date pursuant to Section 4.03;

provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, as determined in good faith by the Company, no more restrictive with respect to such dividend and
other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing. 

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

and 
 (iii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.06(a)(iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of 3.0% of the
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and $600.0 million at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received
and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), 
 shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this
Section 4.06(a). 
 (b) Within 15 months after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net
Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option: 

(i) to repay (A) Indebtedness constituting First Priority Lien Obligations (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is
revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that if the Issuer shall so reduce First Priority Lien Obligations, the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Notes Obligations in any
manner set forth in clause (D) below at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, (B) Indebtedness constituting Pari Passu Indebtedness other
than First Priority Lien Obligations so long as the Asset Sale proceeds are with respect to non-Collateral (provided that if the Company shall so reduce Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Notes Obligations in
any manner set forth in clause (D) below), (C) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor or (D) Notes Obligations as provided under Section 5 of the Note, through open-market purchases (provided that
such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer or a Collateral Asset Sale Offer, as applicable; or 

(ii) to make an Investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such Investment is in the form of the
acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), assets or property, in each case (a) used or useful in a Similar Business or (b) that replace the
properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale, provided, however, that with respect to any Asset Sale of Collateral only, the assets or property subject to such Investment (other than to the extent it would constitute
Excluded Assets) shall be pledged as Collateral. 
 In the case of Section 4.06(b)(ii), a binding commitment shall be
treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment; provided that in the event such binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another binding commitment (a “Second Commitment”) 
  

 -86- 









 
within six months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment; provided, further, that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may only enter into a Second
Commitment under the foregoing provision one time with respect to each Asset Sale and to the extent such Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute
Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds, as applicable. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if
any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales
of Collateral (other than Specified ABL Facility Assets) that are not invested or applied as set forth in Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to purchase or make an offer to purchase Notes, as
described in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b), shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Collateral Excess Proceeds.” The Issuer shall make an offer to all
holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any First Priority Lien Obligations or Obligations secured by a Lien permitted under this Indenture (which Lien is not subordinate to the Lien of the Notes with respect to the Collateral), to the
holders of such First Priority Lien Obligations or such other Obligations (including any mandatory prepayment required by the Senior Term Loan Facility) (a “Collateral Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal
amount of the Notes and such First Priority Lien Obligations or such other Obligations that is a minimum of $100,000 or €50,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 or €1,000, respectively, in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the
Collateral Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event such other First Priority Lien Obligations were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted
value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any (or, in respect of other First Priority Lien Obligations, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such First Priority Lien Obligations), to
the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture; provided that with respect to any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales of Collateral realized or received by any Foreign Subsidiary, the
aggregate amount of such Net Proceeds required to be applied shall be subject to reduction to the extent the expatriation of such Net Proceeds (1) would result in adverse tax or legal consequences, (2) would be reasonably likely to result
in adverse personal liability of any director of the Company or a Foreign Subsidiary or (3) would result in the insolvency of a Foreign Subsidiary. The Issuer will commence a Collateral Asset Sale Offer with respect to Collateral Excess
Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that Collateral Excess Proceeds exceed $200.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. 

Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale of non-Collateral (other than Specified ABL Facility Assets) that are not invested or applied as
provided and within the time period set forth in this Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to purchase or make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b),
shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $200.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all
holders of Notes (and, at the option of the Company, to holders of any Pari Passu Indebtedness) (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) that is at least $100,000
or €50,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000 or €1,000, respectively, in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the
event such Pari Passu Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness,
such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.06; provided that with
respect to any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales of non-Collateral realized or received by any Foreign Subsidiary, the aggregate 
  


 -87- 









 
amount of such Net Proceeds required to be applied shall be subject to reduction to the extent the expatriation of such Net Proceeds (1) would result in adverse tax or legal consequences,
(2) would be reasonably likely to result in adverse personal liability of any director of the Company or a Foreign Subsidiary or (3) would result in the insolvency of the Foreign Subsidiary. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer
with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $200.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of Section 4.06(f), with a copy to the Trustee. 

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such other First Priority Lien Obligations or Obligations secured by a Lien
permitted by this Indenture (which Lien is not subordinate to the Lien of the Notes with respect to the Collateral) tendered pursuant to a Collateral Asset Sale Offer is less than the Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining
Collateral Excess Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or other First Priority Lien Obligations or such other Obligations surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount
of Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall select the Notes and such other First Priority Lien Obligations or such other Obligations to be purchased in the manner described below. 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 Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes
(and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described in Section 4.06(g). Upon completion of any such Collateral Asset
Sale Offer or Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be reset at zero. 

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

(d) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sale Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Issuer
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales pursuant to which such Asset Sale Offer is being made and (iii) the
compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(b). On such date, the Issuer shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary is acting as the
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds to be invested in Cash Equivalents, as directed in writing by the Issuer, and to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.06. Upon
the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be
accepted by the Issuer. The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering holder in the amount of the purchase price. In the event that the Excess Proceeds delivered by
the Issuer to the Trustee are greater than the purchase price of the Notes tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Issuer immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with Section 4.06.

 (e) Not later than the date upon which written notice of a Collateral Asset Sale Offer is delivered to the Trustee as
provided above, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Collateral Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Collateral Asset Sales pursuant to which such
Collateral Asset Sale Offer is being made and (iii) the compliance 
  

 -88- 









 
of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(b). On such date, the Issuer shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly
Owned Restricted Subsidiary is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds to be invested in Cash Equivalents, as directed in writing by the Issuer, and to be held for payment in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 4.06. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Collateral Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Collateral Asset Sale Offer Period”), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation
the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Issuer. The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering holder in the
amount of the purchase price. In the event that the Collateral Excess Proceeds delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee are greater than the purchase price of the Notes tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Issuer reasonably promptly
following its actual knowledge of the expiration of the Collateral Asset Sale Offer Period for application in accordance with Section 4.06. 

(f) Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the
Issuer at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase
date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered by the holder for purchase and a statement that such holder is withdrawing his election to have such
Note purchased. If at the end of the Offer Period or Collateral Asset Sale Offer Period, as the case may be, more Notes (and such First Priority Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer
or a Collateral Asset Sale Offer than the Issuer is required to purchase, Notes tendered will be repurchased on a pro rata basis; provided that no Notes of $100,000 or €50,000 or less shall be purchased in part. Selection of such First
Priority Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable shall be made pursuant to the terms of such First Priority Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness. 

(g) The Issuer shall mail notices of an Asset Sale Offer or a Collateral Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail, postage
prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each holder of Notes at such holder’s registered address. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the
portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased. 
 SECTION 4.07. Transactions with
Affiliates. 
 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of transactions, contract,
agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, unless:

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

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $75.0 million, the Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company, approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s
Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a) above. 
  

 -89- 









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

(v) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to officers, directors, employees or consultants which are approved by a
majority of the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; 
 (vi) any agreement as in effect as of the
Release Date or any amendment thereto (so long as any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on
the Release Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby as determined in good faith by the Company; 
 (vii)
the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any registration rights agreement to which it is a party as of the Release Date, and any transaction, agreement or
arrangement described in the Offering Memorandum and, in each case, any amendment thereto or similar agreements or arrangements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Release Date shall only be permitted by this clause (vii) to the
extent that the terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement as
in effect on the Release Date; 
 (viii) the Emergence Transactions, including the payment of fees and expenses
paid in connection therewith; 
 (ix) (A) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or
sellers of goods or services, or transactions otherwise relating to the purchase or sale of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, which are fair to the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management of the Company, or are on terms at 
  

 -90- 









 
least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party or (B) transactions with Joint Ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in the
ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice or industry norm; 
 (x) any transaction effected
as part of a Qualified Receivables Financing; 
 (xi) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
Stock) of the Company to any Person; 
 (xii) the issuances of securities or other payments, awards or grants in
cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock option and stock ownership plans or similar employee benefit plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or any direct or indirect parent entity
of the Company or of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as appropriate, in good faith; 
 (xiii) the
entering into of any tax sharing agreement or arrangement that complies with Section 4.04(b)(xii); 
 (xiv)
any contribution to the capital of the Company; 
 (xv) transactions between the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries and any Person that is an Affiliate of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries solely because a director of such Person is also a director of the Company or any direct or indirect parent entity of the Company; provided,
however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company or any direct or indirect parent entity of the Company, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person; 

(xvi) pledges of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries; 

(xvii) the formation and maintenance of any consolidated group or subgroup for tax, accounting or cash pooling or

purpose of circumventing any provision set forth in this Indenture; and 
 (xx) transactions entered into by a
Person prior to the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged or consolidated into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (provided such transaction is not entered into in contemplation of such event). 

SECTION 4.08. Change of Control. 

(a) Upon a Change of Control after the Release Date, each holder shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part
of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the holders of record
on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in 

 

 -91- 









 
this Section 4.08; provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall not be obligated to purchase any Notes pursuant to this
Section 4.08 in the event that it has exercised its right to redeem such Notes in accordance with Article III of this Indenture. 

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

(i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such holder has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase such
holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the holders of record on the

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

(c) holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the
Issuer at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. The holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the

have such Note purchased. Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. 

(d) On the repurchase date, all Notes purchased by the Issuer under this Section shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and
the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the holders entitled thereto. 
 (e) A Change
of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control
Offer upon the consummation of a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.08 applicable to a Change of Control
Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
 (g)
Notes repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will have the status of Notes issued but not outstanding or will be retired and canceled at the option of the Issuer. Notes purchased by a third party pursuant to the preceding

 -92- 









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

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

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

SECTION 4.09. Compliance Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Issuer, beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2010, an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of the Issuer he or she would normally have
knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default that occurred during such period. If he or she does, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto. The Issuer also shall comply with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA. Except with respect to receipt of payments of principal and interest on the Notes and any Default or Event of Default information contained in the Officer’s
Certificate delivered to it pursuant to this Section 4.09, the Trustee shall have no duty to review, ascertain or confirm the Issuer’s compliance with or the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made in this Indenture.

 SECTION 4.10. Further Instruments and Acts. 

(a) The Issuer shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to
carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
 (b) Within the time period set forth on Schedule 4.10, the Issuer
and the Guarantors shall deliver, furnish and/or cause to be delivered or furnished, all of the documents as set forth on Schedule 4.10. 

SECTION 4.11. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. 

(a) The Company shall cause each (i) Domestic Subsidiary of the Company (other than the Issuer) that is Wholly Owned other than, at
the election of the Issuer, an Excluded Subsidiary and (ii) Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than the Issuer) that guarantees the Senior Term Loan Facility to execute and deliver to the Trustee (a) a supplemental
indenture joining each such Subsidiary of the Company to this Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto; and (b) Security Documents and intercreditor agreements providing for First Priority Lien Obligations (other than, in
the case of the ABL Facility Collateral, which shall be subject to a second priority security interest), pursuant to which such Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Notes on the same terms and subject to the same conditions and limitations as
those described under Article 12 in this Indenture (each such guarantee of the Notes, an “Additional Guarantee”). 
  

 -93- 









 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing and the other provisions of this Indenture, any Additional
Guarantee of the Notes by a Domestic Subsidiary of the Company that is a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged in the circumstances described under
Section 12.02 hereof. Any Additional Guarantee shall be considered a “Guarantee” as described Section 12.01 and any such Domestic Subsidiary of the Company providing such Additional Guarantee shall be considered a
“Guarantor” as described under Section 12.01. 
 SECTION 4.12. Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures any Indebtedness on any asset or property of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary, other
than Liens securing Indebtedness that are junior in priority to the Liens on such property or assets securing the Notes on terms no less favorable in any material respect to the holders of the Notes than those set forth in the Junior Lien
Intercreditor Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.13. After-Acquired Property. Subject to Permitted Liens and the 3-16 Exemption and
Excluded Assets limitations, if any of the Company, the Issuer or any Pledgor acquires any First Priority After-Acquired Property, the Company, the Issuer or such Pledgor shall execute and deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, security
instruments, financing statements and certificates and opinions of counsel as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected first priority security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens, in such First Priority
After-Acquired Property and to have such First Priority After-Acquired Property added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such First Priority After-Acquired
Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect. In addition, if granting a security interest in such property requires the consent of a third party, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent
(i) with respect to the first priority security interest for the benefit of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the holders of the Notes and for the benefit of the Senior Term Loan Collateral Agent on behalf of the lenders under the Senior Term
Loan Facility, (ii) with respect to the second priority security interest for the benefit of the ABL Collateral Agents on behalf of lenders under ABL Facility and (iii) with respect to the third priority security interest for the benefit
of the trustee under the Plan Roll-Up Notes Indenture on behalf of the holders of the Plan Roll-Up Notes. If such third party does not consent to the granting of the first priority security interest after the use of such commercially reasonable
efforts, the applicable entity will not be required to provide such security interest. The Issuer, the Company and the Pledgors will also ensure that second priority security interests are maintained as security for the Notes in any property or
assets pledged to secure the ABL Facility. 
 SECTION 4.14. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

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

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

 

 -94- 









 (c) The Issuer hereby designates the corporate trust office of the Trustee or its agent as
such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.04. 
 SECTION 4.15. Covenant Suspension. If on any
date following the Release Date, (i) the Notes have achieved and continue to maintain Investment Grade Ratings from two Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing (such period is referred to herein as an
“Investment Grade Status Period”), then beginning on that date and continuing until the Reversion Date (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a
“Covenant Suspension Event”), the covenants described under Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07 and 5.01(c)(iv) (the “Suspended Covenants”). 

If on any date subsequent to a Covenant Suspension Event (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies
withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture
with respect to future events. The period of time between the Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” 

On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be
classified as having been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would be permitted to be Incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and
after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be Incurred or issued
pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Release Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iv). Calculations
made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 will be made as though the covenant described under Section 4.04 had been in effect since the Release Date and throughout the
Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a). As described above, however, no Default or Event of Default will be
deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period. For purposes of Section 4.06, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds
amount will be reset to zero. 
 SECTION 4.16. Maintenance of Insurance. The Company shall maintain with reputable
insurance companies, insurance with respect to its assets, properties and business against loss or damage to the extent available on commercially reasonable terms of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons of similar size engaged in the
same or similar industry, of such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance (including captive industry insurance) reasonable and customary for similarly situated Persons of similar size engaged in the same or similar
businesses as the Company, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances (including flood insurance) by such other Persons to the extent available to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries on
commercially reasonable terms.

 SECTION 4.17. Additional Amounts. 

(a) All payments made under or with respect to the Guarantee Agreement by (i) the Company or (ii) any entity that becomes a
successor of the Company that is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia as a result of a merger of or other transaction permitted by Section 5.01 (each such person, a
“Payor”) will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including, without limitation, penalties,
interest and other similar liabilities related thereto) of whatever nature (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which any Payor is organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or
from or through which any Payor makes any payment on the Notes or its Guarantee or any department or political subdivision thereof (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such Payor is required to withhold or deduct Taxes
by law. If a Payor is required by law to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or such Guarantee, the Payor, subject to the exceptions
listed below, will pay additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by each holder of the Notes after such withholding or deduction (including withholding or deduction
attributable to Additional Amounts payable hereunder) will not be less than the amount the holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted. 

(b) A Payor will not, however, pay Additional Amounts to a holder or beneficial owner of Notes: 

(1) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed but for the holder’s
or beneficial owner’s present or former connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or but for any such connection on the part of a partner, beneficiary, settlor or shareholder of such a holder or beneficial owner (other than any
connection resulting from the acquisition, ownership, holding or disposition of Notes, the receipt of payments thereunder and/or the exercise or enforcement of rights under any Notes); 

(2) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed but for the failure of the
holder or beneficial owner of Notes, following the Payor’s written request addressed to the holder, to the extent such holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to do so, to comply with any certification, identification, information or
other reporting requirements, whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed
by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction); 

(3) with respect to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, personal property or any similar Taxes; 

(4) with respect to any Taxes, which are payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of principal of or interest
on the Notes; 
 (5) if such holder is a fiduciary or partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner
of such payment and the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed on such payment had the holder been the beneficiary, partner or sole beneficial owner, as the case may be, of such Note (but only if there is no
material cost or expense associated with transferring such Note to such beneficiary, partner or sole beneficial owner and no restriction on such transfer that is outside the control of such beneficiary, partner or sole beneficial owner); 

 

 -96- 









 (6) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not
have been imposed but for the presentation by the holder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly
provided for, whichever occurs later; 
 (7) with respect to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a
payment to an individual and that is required to made pursuant to the European Council Directive on the taxation of savings income which was adopted by the ECOFIN Council on June 3, 2003 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced
in order to conform to such directive (the “EU Savings Tax Directive”) or is required to be made pursuant to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation dated October 26, 2004 providing for measures
equivalent to those laid down in the EU Savings Tax Directive (the “EU-Swiss Savings Tax Agreement”) or any law or other governmental regulation implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such agreement;

 (8) to the extent of any Taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or tax
authority therein; or 
 (9) any combination of items (1) through (8). 

(c) The Payor will (i) make any such withholding or deduction required by applicable law and (ii) remit the full amount
deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. The Payor will make reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing
Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes. The Payor will provide to the Trustee, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld are due pursuant to applicable law, either a certified copy of tax receipts evidencing
such payment, or, if such tax receipts are not reasonably available to the Payor, such other documentation that provides reasonable evidence of such payment by the Payor. 

(d) At least 30 calendar days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to a Guarantee is due and payable if the
Payor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payments (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises shortly before or after the 35th day prior to the date on which payment under or with respect to the Guarantee
is due and payable, in which case it will be promptly due thereafter), the Payor will deliver to the Trustee, the Registrar and each Paying Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so
payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable each Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to the holders on the payment date. The Payor will promptly publish a notice in accordance with Section 13.02 stating that
such Additional Amounts will be payable and describing the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts. The Issuer will pay to the Trustee or the Paying Agent such Additional Amounts and, if paid to a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, shall
promptly provide the Trustee with documentation evidencing the payment of such Additional Amounts. Copies of such documentation shall be made available to the holders upon request. The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee and the Paying Agent for, and
hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate
furnished to them pursuant to this Section 4.17. 
  

 -97- 









 The Payor will indemnify and hold harmless the holders of Notes, and, upon written request
of any holder of Notes, reimburse such holder for the amount of (i) any Taxes levied or imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and payable by such holder in connection with payments made under or with respect to the Notes held by such holder
or any Guarantee; and (ii) any Taxes levied or imposed with respect to any reimbursement under the foregoing clause (i) or this clause (ii), so that the net amount received by such holder after such reimbursement will not be less than the
net amount such holder would have received if the Taxes giving rise to the reimbursement described in clauses (i) and/or (ii) had not been imposed, provided, however, that the indemnification obligation provided for in this
paragraph shall not extend to Taxes imposed for which the holder of the Notes would not have been entitled to receive payment of Additional Amounts hereunder by virtue of clauses (1) through (9) of subsection (b) above or to the
extent such holder received Additional Amounts with respect to such payments. Whenever in this Indenture refers to, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note or
any Guarantee, such reference includes the payment of Additional Amounts or indemnification payments as described hereunder, if applicable. 

The foregoing obligations of this Section 4.17 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and the
removal or resignation of the Trustee and the Agents and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to any Payor and to any jurisdiction in which such successor is organized or is otherwise resident or doing
business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by such successor or its respective agents.

Company may (A) merge with an Affiliate that has no material assets or liabilities and that is incorporated or organized solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Issuer in any state of the U.S., the District of Columbia,
Canada or any province thereof or any state which was a member state of the European Union on December 31, 2003 (other than Greece) and (B) may otherwise convert its legal form under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.

Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
  

 -99- 









 (iv) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction,
as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an Obligation of the Successor Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as
having been Incurred by the Successor Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), either (a) the Company would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio test set forth in Section 4.03(a); or (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such
transaction; and 
 (v) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an

Issuer may (A) merge with an Affiliate that has no material assets or liabilities and that is incorporated or organized solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Issuer, as the case may be, in any state of the U.S. or the
District of Columbia and (B) may otherwise convert its legal form under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization so long as there remains a corporate co-obligor. This Section 5.01 shall not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (e) Subject to the
provisions of Section 11.04 (which govern the release of assets and property securing the Notes upon the sale or disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Pledgor), no Pledgor shall, and the Company shall not permit any
Pledgor to, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Pledgor is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in
one or more related transactions to, any Person unless:

Pledgor) will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Pledgor under this Indenture and such Pledgor’s Obligations in respect of the Notes, and such Pledgor will automatically be released and discharged from its Obligations under this Indenture
and such Pledgor’s Obligations in respect of the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Pledgor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing such Pledgor
in another state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Pledgor is not increased thereby and (2) a Pledgor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with
another Pledgor or the Company or may convert it legal form under the laws of reorganization in its jurisdiction. 
 In
addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Pledgor may consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets

 ARTICLE VI 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

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

(a) there is a default in any payment of interest (including any additional interest) on any Note when the same becomes
due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days, 
 (b) there is a default in the payment of
principal or premium, if any, of any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise, 

(c) the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements
contained in the Notes or this Indenture, 
 (d) the failure by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (or any
group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the
acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $100.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent, 

(e) either the Company, the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer pursuant to or within the meaning of any
Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commences a voluntary case; 

 

 -101- 









 (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an
involuntary case; 
 (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its
property; or 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action
under any foreign laws relating to insolvency, 
 (f) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree
under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (i) is for relief against either the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of
the Issuer in an involuntary case; 
 (ii) appoints a Custodian of either the Issuer or any Significant
Subsidiary of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its property; or 
 (iii) orders the winding up or
liquidation of either the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer; 
 or any similar relief is granted under any
foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days, 
 (g) failure by the Company or
any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $100.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered
by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days, 

(h) the Guarantee of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary) ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or the Company denies or disaffirms its Obligations under this Indenture and such Default continues for 10 days, 

(i) unless all of the Notes Collateral has been released from the first priority Liens in accordance with the provisions
of the Security Documents, the first priority Liens on all or substantially all of the Notes Collateral cease to be valid or enforceable and such Default continues for 30 days, or the Company, the Issuer or any Pledgor shall assert, in any pleading
in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of any such Person that is a Subsidiary of the Company, the Company fails to cause such Subsidiary to rescind such assertions within
30 days after the Company has actual knowledge of such assertions, or 
 (j) the failure by the Company or any
Pledgor to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements contained in the Security Documents except for a failure that would not be material to the holders of the Notes and would not materially affect the value of the Collateral taken as
a whole. 
 The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is
voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 

 

 -102- 









 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any
similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 

However, a default under clauses (c) or (j) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of
30% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes notify the Issuer of the default and the Issuer does not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (c) or (j) hereof after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify
the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an
Officer’s Certificate of any event which is, or with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or propose to take with respect thereto. 

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or 6.01(f)
hereof with respect to the Company or the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and
accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) with respect to the
Company or the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders. Under certain circumstances, the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. 

In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof
(excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an
Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action
(as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as
described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events. 
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this
Indenture or the Security Documents. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or
does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in
the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative. 

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of
acceleration, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a 

 

 -103- 









 
Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture
or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders will be restored to
their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, if the Trustee,
being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or
Responsible Officers shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which it is not adequately indemnified, or subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is
unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable indemnification and security satisfactory to
it in its reasonable discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
 SECTION 6.06.
Limitation on Suits. 
 (a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest
when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (i) such holder
has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, 
 (ii) holders of at least 30%
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy, 
 (iii)
such holders have offered the Trustee security and reasonable indemnity against any loss, liability or expense acceptable to the Trustee in its sole discretion, 

(iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of
security and indemnity, and 
 (v) the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 
 (b) A holder may not
use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another holder. 

SECTION 6.07. Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder. 
  

 -104- 









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

fees and expenses of more than one counsel at any given time located within one particular jurisdiction. The Issuer needs not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense Incurred by an indemnified party through such
party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment
obligations in this Section, the Trustee and Agents shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and Agents other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular
Notes.

is not assured to its satisfaction.

 (c) The
successor Trustee or Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or Agent and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee or

Trustee or Agent may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee or agent; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes
or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee or Agent shall have.

holders may be effected without the consent of each holder of Notes affected thereby), and authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter into the Escrow Agreement and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance
therewith. Escrow Issuer shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, to assure and confirm to the Trustee the security interest contemplated by

(iii) notwithstanding Section 7.13(b)(ii), if DBTCA receives or recovers any amount in respect of (A) the
Parallel Debt, the Principal Obligations decrease by that amount as if that amount was received or recovered directly in payment of the Principal Obligations and, for the avoidance of doubt, (B) the Principal Obligations, the Parallel Debt

 (i)
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 Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) all of the Notes (1) have become due and payable, (2) will become due and payable at their
stated maturity within one year or (3) if redeemable at the option of the Issuer, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name,

as the case may be;

same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and 
 (viii) the Issuer
delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article VIII have been

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

of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such holder or subsequent holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such holder’s
Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate from the Issuer certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. After an
amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Issuer or the Trustee of consents by the holders of the requisite principal amount of securities,

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

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

 SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized
pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive indemnity and security reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected

Section 9.03).

Section 2.01 of this Indenture. Determinations as to whether holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article IX and Section 2.14.

Section 11.04(a)(1), (6), (7) or (8) above, such Collateral may not be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents and (y) any release of Collateral pursuant to Section 11.04(a)(2), (3),
(4) and (5), the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute, deliver or acknowledge any instruments of termination, satisfaction or release unless, in each case, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying that all
conditions precedent, including, without limitation, this Section 11.04, have been met and stating under which of the circumstances set forth in Section 11.04(a) above the Collateral is being released have been delivered to the Collateral
Agent on or prior to the date of such release or, in the case of clause (y) above, the date on which the Collateral Agent executes any such instrument. 

(c) To the extent that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act requires or would require (or is replaced with another rule
or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, that would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of the Company due to the fact that such
Subsidiary’s Capital Stock secures the Notes, then the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary will automatically be deemed not to be part of the Notes Collateral securing the Notes but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such
requirement and only for so long as required to not be subject to such requirement (such requirement, the “3-16 Exemption”); provided that the 3-16 Exemption will not apply to the capital stock of the Issuer and
LyondellBasell Subholdings, B.V. In such event, the Security Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any holder of such Notes, to the extent necessary to release the security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent on the
shares of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Notes Collateral. In the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or
is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, that would permit) such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock to secure the Notes in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any
other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary will automatically be deemed to be a part of the Notes Collateral. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the Trustee has delivered a notice of acceleration to the Collateral Agent, no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or the
Security Documents will be effective as against the holders, except as otherwise provided in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

SECTION 11.05. Filing, Recording and Opinions. 

(a) The Issuer will comply with the provisions of TIA Sections 314(b), 314(c) and 314(d), in each case following qualification of this
Indenture pursuant to the TIA and except to the extent not required as set forth in any SEC regulation or interpretation (including any no-action letter issued by the Staff of the SEC, whether issued to the Issuer or any other Person). Following
such qualification, to the extent the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to TIA Section 314(b)(2), the Issuer will furnish such opinion not more than 60 but not less than 30 days prior to each
September 30. 
  

 -125- 









 Any release of Collateral permitted by Section 11.04 hereof will be deemed not to
impair the Liens under this Indenture and the Security Documents in contravention thereof and any person that is required to deliver an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 314(d) of the TIA, shall be entitled
to rely upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such certificate and opinion. The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate
statements contained in such documents, Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel. 
 (b) If any Collateral is released
in accordance with this Indenture and if the Issuer has delivered the certificates and documents required by the Security Documents and Section 11.04, the Trustee will determine whether it has received all documentation required by TIA
Section 314(d) in connection with such release and, based on such determination and Officer’s Certificate and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 11.04, will, upon request, deliver a certificate to the Collateral
Agent setting forth such determination. 
 (c) Any certificate or opinion required by Section 314(d) of the TIA may be made
by an Officer of the Issuer, except in cases where Section 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries will not be required to comply with all or any
portion of Section 314(d) of the TIA if they determine, in good faith based on advice of counsel, that under the terms of that section and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC and its staff, including “no
action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of Section 314(d) of the TIA is inapplicable to the released Collateral. 

(e) Upon the request of the Trustee, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel in
respect of any matter in furtherance of the foregoing transactions contemplated by this Section 11.05. 
 SECTION 11.06.
[Intentionally Omitted.] 
 SECTION 11.07. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall
be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article XI upon the Issuer or the Company with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or
trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or the Company or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article XI; and if the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture or the Security Documents, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. 

SECTION 11.08. Release upon Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations. In the event (i) that the Issuer delivers to the
Trustee, in form and substance acceptable to it, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying that all the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents have been satisfied and discharged by the payment in
full of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents, and all such obligations have been so satisfied, or (ii) a discharge, legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of this Indenture occurs under
Article VIII, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer and the Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral, and any rights it has under the
Security Documents, or, if applicable, a Special Mandatory redemption occurs and the obligations under the Escrow Agreement are also met, and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a
Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and shall (or shall direct the Collateral Agent to) do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. 

 

 -126- 









 SECTION 11.09. Designations. Except as provided in the next sentence, for purposes of
the provisions hereof and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement requiring the Issuer to designate Indebtedness for the purposes of the terms First Priority Lien Obligations and Other First Lien Obligations or any other such designations hereunder
or under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any such designation shall be sufficient if the relevant designation provides in writing that such First Priority Lien Obligations or Other First Lien Obligations are permitted under this Indenture
and is signed on behalf of the Issuer by an Officer and delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in an Officer’s Certificate. 

ARTICLE XII 

GUARANTEE 

SECTION 12.01. Guarantee. 

(a) Prior to the Release Date, the Company, by execution of this Indenture, will irrevocably and unconditonally guarantee the full and
punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee and the Agents) and the Notes, whether for payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on in respect of the Notes (the “Guarantee”) and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes and the full and punctual performance within applicable
grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
Upon release from escrow on the Release Date and from and after the date of the LCC Assumption, the Company and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company, by execution of
this Indenture, (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) (each such entity, a “Guarantor”) will, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee on a first-priority secured basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as
a surety, to each holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Issuer under this
Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee and the Agents) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on in respect of the Notes (the “Guarantee”) and all other monetary obligations of the
Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the
Notes (all the foregoing, including the Guarantee, being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part,
without notice or further assent from any Guarantor, and that each Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article XII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. 

(b) To the extent applicable, each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the
failure of any holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of
this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any
holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or each Guarantor; (v) 
  

 -127- 









 
the failure of any holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of each Guarantor, except
as provided in Section 12.02(b) or Section 12.02(c). Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its Obligations hereunder divided among the Guarantors, such that such Guarantor’s Obligations would be
less than the full amount claimed. 
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets
of the Issuer first be used and depleted as payment of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it
may be entitled to require that the Issuer be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor. 
 (d) Each
Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any holder or the Trustee to any
security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (e) The Guarantee of each Guarantor is, to the extent and in the
manner set forth in Article XII, will be the senior secured Obligations of the Guarantors, equal in right of payment to all existing and future Pari Passu Indebtedness, equal in right of payment to all existing and future unsubordinated Indebtedness
of the relevant Guarantor, and subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all Secured Indebtedness of the relevant Guarantor and is made subject to such
provisions of this Indenture. 
 (f) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 12.02 and 12.06, the obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein
shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any
thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of
any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
 (g) Each Guarantor
agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 

(h) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity
against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to
perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum
of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and un paid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of
the Issuer to the holders, the Trustee and Agents. 
  

 -128- 









 (i) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the holders and the Trustee, on the other
hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration
in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VI, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by the Company for the purposes of this Section 12.01. 
 (j) Each Guarantor also agrees
to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) Incurred by the Trustee, the Agents or any holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 12.01. 

(k) Upon request of the Trustee, each Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be
reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 12.02. Limitation on
Liability. 
 (a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of
the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by each Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 
 (b) The Obligations
of any Guarantor, including the Company, under its Guaranteed Obligations will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all Obligations under this Article XII when any of the following occurs: 

(i) upon the full and final payment by or on behalf of the Issuer of all of its Obligations under this Indenture and the
Notes; 
 (ii) except with respect to the Guarantee of the Company (subject to the provisions described under
Section 5.01) any issuance, sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (including, without limitation, by way of acquisition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, transfer, conveyance or otherwise), directly or indirectly, of Capital Stock
of such Guarantor (or any parent of such Guarantor) to any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that results in such Guarantor ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such issuance, sale,
exchange, transfer or other disposition is made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (iii)
except with respect to the Guarantee of the Company, the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(iv) except with respect to the Guarantee of the Company (subject to the provisions described under Section 5.01),
upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor; provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would be caused thereby; 

 

 -129- 









 (v) except with respect to the Guarantee of the Company, the occurrence of
legal defeasance or covenant defeasance in accordance with this Indenture; 
 (vi) except with respect to the
Guarantee of the Company and for those limitations described in the following paragraph, in the event that the continued Obligation of such Guarantor under its Guarantee or the continued existence of such Guarantee will result in a violation of
applicable law that cannot be avoided or otherwise prevented through measures reasonably available to the Company or such Guarantor; provided that all guarantees, if any, of all other First Priority Lien Obligations by such Guarantor are also
released; or 
 (vii) upon such Guarantor being designated as an Excluded Subsidiary in compliance with this
Indenture and the Company gives written notice of such release to the Trustee. 
 In addition to the initial Guarantors, other
Domestic Subsidiaries may become Guarantors after the Release Date, as provided in this Indenture. The Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantors will be limited as necessary to recognize certain defenses generally available to guarantors (including
those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference, financial assistance, corporate purpose, capital maintenance or similar laws, regulations or defenses affecting the rights of creditors generally) or other considerations
under applicable law. 
 SECTION 12.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article XII shall be binding upon each Guarantor and
its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee, the Agents and the holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any holder, the Agents or the Trustee, the rights and
privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 

SECTION 12.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee, the Agents or the holders in exercising
any right, power or privilege under this Article XII shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the
Trustee, the Agents and the holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XII at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 

SECTION 12.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XII, nor the consent to any
departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 

SECTION 12.06. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Note Guarantors. Each Subsidiary and other Person which is required
to become a Guarantor of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary or other Person shall become a
Guarantor under this Article XII and shall guarantee the Notes. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate to the
effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary or other Person and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other
similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a valid and binding obligation of such guarantor, enforceable
against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. 
  

 -130- 









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

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

 1. LBI ESCROW CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (to be merged with and into LYONDELL CHEMICAL COMPANY, a Delaware
corporation, as the surviving entity) (the “Issuer,”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Dollar Note at 8% per annum from April 8, 2010 until maturity and shall pay the Additional Interest, if any,
payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuer will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day,
on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Dollar Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date;
provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 1, 2010. The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to
time on demand at the interest rate on the Dollar Notes; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Dollar Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Dollar Notes and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered
holders of Dollar Notes at the close of business on the April 15 and October 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Dollar Notes are canceled after such record date
and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the holders at their
addresses set forth in the register of holders, provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes
and all other Notes the holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. 
 3. TRUSTEE; PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Wilmington Trust FSB will be the Trustee (the
“Trustee”) under the Indenture. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will be the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement and, initially, the Collateral Agent under the Indenture and has been appointed by the Issuer as U.S. Registrar

and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. has been appointed as Euro Registrar. 
 4. INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Dollar Notes
under an Indenture, dated as of April 8, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among LBI Escrow Corporation, LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (the “Company”), the Trustee, the U.S. Paying Agent and the Dollar Paying Agent.
This Dollar Note is one of 
  

 A-1-5 









 
a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer designated as its 8% Senior Secured Notes due 2017. The Issuer shall be entitled to issue Additional Dollar Notes pursuant to Section 2.01 of
the Indenture. The Dollar Notes and the Euro Notes issued under the Indenture (including, in each case, any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) (collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”) are separate series of Notes,
but shall be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture, unless otherwise specified in the Indenture. The terms of the Dollar Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Dollar Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any
provision of this Dollar Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) On or after May 1, 2013, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes (including any Additional Notes) upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any,
to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve months beginning on May 1
of the years indicated below: 
  

				
	 	  	Redemption
price of Notes	 
	 2013
	  	106.000	% 
	 2014
	  	104.000	% 
	 2015
	  	102.000	% 
	 2016 and thereafter
	  	100.000	% 

 (b) In
addition, prior to May 1, 2013, the Issuer may redeem the Notes (including any Additional Notes) at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by
first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including,
the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

(c) In addition, prior to May 1, 2013, the Issuer may redeem up to 10% of the outstanding Notes per year (including any additional
Notes) upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to May 1, 2013, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of
the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including any additional Notes), at a redemption price of 108.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the
applicable redemption date, with the net proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that: 
  

 A-1-6 









 (1) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally
issued under the Indenture (together with any additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and 

(2) the redemption must occur within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 

6. SPECIAL MANDATORY REDEMPTION. If the Escrow Proceeds have not been released to the Escrow Agent for distribution in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement on or before the Escrow End Date or if the Company shall at any time determine that it is unlikely to be able to comply with the requirements set forth in the Escrow Agreement for obtaining a release
of the Escrow Proceeds (the first such date to occur, the “Trigger Date”), then the Company shall redeem the Notes (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) in cash at a price equal to the sum of 100% of the Gross
Proceeds plus the Specified Premium of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued on the Issue Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest and the accreted amount of any original issue discount on the Notes from the Issue Date up to but
not including the date of the Special Mandatory Redemption (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”). 
 Upon
receipt of the notice of Special Mandatory Redemption, the Escrow Agent will liquidate all Escrow Proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. 

7. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. Other than in connection with a Special Mandatory Redemption, the Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory
redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Dollar Notes. 
 8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be
mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at his, her or its registered address. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for
redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable; provided that no Notes of $100,000 or €50,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000 or €1,000, respectively in excess thereof), as applicable,
principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations
larger than $100,000 or €50,000, as applicable. Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $100,000 or €50,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000 or €1,000, respectively, in excess thereof). The notice of
redemption relating to such Note selected to be redeemed shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time in connection with an optional redemption, the Trustee will select Notes for
redemption as follows: 
 (1) if the Notes to be redeemed are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the
principal national securities exchange on which such Notes are listed; or 
 (2) if the Notes to be redeemed are
not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. 
 If money
sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are
satisfied on and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
  

 A-1-7 









 9. OFFERS TO REPURCHASE. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the
Indenture, to cause the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject
to the right of the holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 

(b) In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of
certain events. 
 10. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Dollar Notes are in fully registered form only, without coupons,
in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes during a period beginning
15 days before the mailing of a redemption notice for any Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption. 
 11. PERSONS
DEEMED OWNERS. The registered holder of a Dollar Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 12. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT
AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture. 
 13.
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer) and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 30% in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Issuer, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders.
Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under
the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity and security against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions are complied with. Except to
enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of
Default is continuing, (ii) the holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security and indemnity
against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security and indemnity and (v) the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, 

 

 A-1-8 









 
the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other
holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable indemnification and security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all
losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
 14. AUTHENTICATION. This Dollar Note shall not be entitled to
any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. 

15. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTES AND RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to
holders of Dollar Notes under the Indenture, holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, including the right to receive Additional Interest (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement). 
 16. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO
CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES. 
 17. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by
the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Dollar Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Dollar Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

The Issuer will furnish to any holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights
Agreement. Requests may be made to the Issuer at the following address:

payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuer will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day,
on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Euro Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date;
provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 1, 2010. The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to
time on demand at the interest rate on the Euro Notes; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Euro Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Euro Notes and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered
holders of Euro Notes at the close of business on the April 15 and October 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Euro Notes are canceled after such record date and on
or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the holders at their addresses set
forth in the register of holders, provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other
Notes the holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the European Union as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. 
 3. TRUSTEE; PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Wilmington Trust FSB will be the Trustee (the
“Trustee”) under the Indenture. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will be the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement and, initially, the Collateral Agent under the Indenture and has been appointed by the Issuer as U.S. Registrar

an Indenture, dated as of April 8, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among LBI Escrow Corporation, LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (the “Company”), the Trustee, the U.S. Paying Agent and the Euro Paying Agent. This Euro
Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer designated as its 8% Senior Secured Notes due 2017. The Issuer shall be entitled to issue Additional Euro Notes pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Indenture. The

  

 A-2-5 









 
Dollar Notes and the Euro Notes issued under the Indenture (including, in each case, any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) (collectively, referred to herein as the
“Notes”) are separate series of Notes, but shall be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture, unless otherwise specified in the Indenture. The terms of the Euro Notes include those stated in the Indenture and
those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Euro Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust
Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Euro Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) On or after May 1, 2013, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes (including any Additional Notes) upon not less than 30

first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including,
the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

(c) In addition, prior to May 1, 2013, the Issuer may redeem up to 10% of the outstanding Notes per year (including any additional
Notes) upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to May 1, 2013, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of
the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including any additional Notes), at a redemption price of 108.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the
applicable redemption date, with the net proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

its Subsidiaries); and 
  

 A-2-6 









 (2) the redemption must occur within 90 days of the date of the closing of
such Equity Offering. 
 6. SPECIAL MANDATORY REDEMPTION. If the Escrow Proceeds have not been released to the Escrow Agent for
distribution in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement on or before the Escrow End Date or if the Company shall at any time determine that it is unlikely to be able to comply with the requirements set forth in the Escrow
Agreement for obtaining a release of the Escrow Proceeds (the first such date to occur, the “Trigger Date”), then the Company shall redeem the Notes (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) in cash at a price equal to
the sum of 100% of the Gross Proceeds plus the Specified Premium of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued on the Issue Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest and the accreted amount of any original issue discount on the Notes
from the Issue Date up to but not including the date of the Special Mandatory Redemption (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”). 

Upon receipt of the notice of Special Mandatory Redemption, the Escrow Agent will liquidate all Escrow Proceeds in accordance with the
terms of the Escrow Agreement. 
 7. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. Other than in connection with a Special Mandatory Redemption, the
Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Euro Notes. 
 8. NOTICE
OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at his, her or its registered address. In the case of any partial
redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable; provided that no Notes of $100,000 or €50,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000 or €1,000,
respectively in excess thereof), as applicable, principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of
the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than $100,000 or €50,000, as applicable. Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $100,000 or €50,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000 or €1,000,
respectively, in excess thereof). The notice of redemption relating to such Note selected to be redeemed shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time in connection with an optional redemption, the Trustee will select Notes for
redemption as follows: 
 (1) if the Notes to be redeemed are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the
principal national securities exchange on which such Notes are listed; or 
 (2) if the Notes to be redeemed are
not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. 
 If money
sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are
satisfied on and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
  

 A-2-7 









 9. OFFERS TO REPURCHASE. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the
Indenture, to cause the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject
to the right of the holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 

(b) In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of
certain events. 
 10. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Euro Notes are in fully registered form only, without coupons, in
denominations of €50,000 and integral multiples of €1,000. A holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes during a
period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a redemption notice for any Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption. 

11. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered holder of a Euro Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

12. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the
Indenture. 
 13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain
events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer) and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Issuer, may declare the principal of,
premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes
may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity and security
against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture
or the Notes unless (i) such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to
pursue the remedy, (iii) such holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security and indemnity against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request
and the offer of security and indemnity and (v) the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain
restrictions, 
  

 A-2-8 









 
the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other
holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable indemnification and security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all
losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
 14. AUTHENTICATION. This Euro Note shall not be entitled to
any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. 

15. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTES AND RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to
holders of Euro Notes under the Indenture, holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, including the right to receive Additional Interest (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement). 
 16. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE
THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES. 
 17. ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on
Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused ISIN numbers to be printed on the Euro Notes and the Trustee may use ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of
such numbers either as printed on the Euro Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

The Issuer will furnish to any holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights
Agreement. Requests may be made to the Issuer at the following address:
