W I T N E S S E T H

in this Indenture; and 
 WHEREAS, each of the Guarantors party hereto has duly authorized the issuance of its guarantee pursuant to which
each such Guarantor shall unconditionally Guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and this Indenture. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each party hereto agrees, as follows for the benefit of each other and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

Financial Accounting Standards Board, as in effect from time to time.

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or controlled by or under
common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through
the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing. 

“Agent” means any Registrar or Paying Agent. 

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Note at any redemption date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of
such Note and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the present value as of such redemption date of (1) the redemption price of such Note at June 15, 2025 (such redemption price being set forth in Section 3.07(d)) plus
(2) all required remaining interest payments due on such Note through June 15, 2025 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over
(B) the principal amount of such Note. The Company shall calculate the Applicable Premium and deliver it and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail to the Trustee. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall have any duty to calculate
or verify the calculation of the “Applicable Premium.” 
  











 “Attributable Indebtedness” in respect of a Sale/Leaseback Transaction
means, as at the time of determination, the present value (discounted at the interest rate implicit in the transaction, as reasonably determined by the Company) of the total obligations of the lessee for rental payments during the remaining term of
the lease included in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been extended), determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that if such Sale/Leaseback Transaction results in a
Capitalized Lease Obligation, the amount of Indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the definition of “Capitalized Lease Obligations.” 

“Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, as amended, or any similar federal, state or foreign law for the relief of
debtors.

Person is a partnership, the board of directors or other governing body of the general partner of such Person) or any duly authorized committee thereof.

(whether general or limited), but excluding any debt securities convertible into such equity. 
 “Capitalized Lease
Obligations” means an obligation that is required to be classified and accounted for as a capitalized lease for financial reporting purposes on the balance sheet of such Person in accordance with GAAP, and the amount of Indebtedness

excluded for purposes of (i) calculating Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated Interest Expense and (ii) calculating the Secured Leverage Ratio, in each case, to the extent such Capitalized Lease Obligation would have been characterized
as an operating lease in accordance with GAAP on January 2, 2014 including ASC 840, “Leases” (whether or not such operating leases existed at the time of the effectiveness thereof). 

“Cash Equivalents” means: 

(1) U.S. dollars, euros, pounds sterling, Canadian dollars or the currency of any country having a credit rating of “A” (or the

thereof) or better from S&P, Moody’s or Fitch;

clauses or equivalent ratings from comparable foreign rating agencies; and 
 (9) in the case of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary,
other currencies, to the extent obtained by the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of operations or for the purpose of consummating transactions otherwise permitted under this Indenture, and other short-term

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consummation of a transaction shall not be deemed to be a Change of Control under clause (1) above if
pursuant to such transaction (a) the Company becomes a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of a holding company with no other material assets or operations and (b) immediately following such transaction, either (x) the holders that beneficially
own the voting power of the Voting Stock of such holding company are substantially the same as the holders that beneficially owned the voting power of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to such transaction (or that beneficially owned
the voting power of the Voting Stock of another holding company of which the Company is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary immediately prior to such transaction) or (y) no “person” or “group” of related persons (as such terms are

(6) the amount of any fee, cost, expense or reserve to the extent actually reimbursed or reimbursable by third parties pursuant
to indemnification or reimbursement provisions or similar agreements or insurance; provided that, such Person in good faith expects to receive reimbursement for such fee, cost, expense or reserve within the next four fiscal quarters;

post-retirement employee benefit plans, new systems design and implementation costs and project startup costs) and (ii) expected “run rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements, product margin

 -5- 












 “Consolidated Income Taxes” means, with respect to any Person for any

to the income or profits of such Person or such Person and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, state franchise and similar taxes and foreign withholding taxes (and taxes in lieu thereof) regardless of whether
such taxes or payments are required to be remitted to any governmental authority. 
 “Consolidated Interest Expense” means,
for any period, the total interest expense of the Company and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries, whether paid or accrued, plus, to the extent not included in such interest expense: 

(1) interest expense attributable to Capitalized Lease Obligations and the interest portion of rent expense associated with
Attributable Indebtedness in respect of the relevant lease giving rise thereto, determined as if such lease were a capitalized lease in accordance with GAAP and the interest component of any deferred payment obligations; 

(2) amortization of debt discount; provided, however, that any amortization of bond premium will be credited to
reduce Consolidated Interest Expense unless, pursuant to GAAP, such amortization of bond premium has otherwise reduced Consolidated Interest Expense; 

(3) non-cash interest expense (but excluding
(i) non-cash interest expense attributable to the movement in the mark-to-market valuation of Hedging Obligations or other
derivative instruments pursuant to GAAP and (ii) the amortization of deferred financing fees, debt issuance costs, commissions, fees and expenses); 

(4) commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with respect to letters of credit and bankers’ acceptance
financing; 
 (5) the interest expense on Indebtedness of another Person that is Guaranteed by such Person or one of its
Restricted Subsidiaries or secured by a Lien on assets of such Person or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that, with respect to the Renewable Diesel Joint Venture Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any other joint venture,
interest expense pursuant to this clause (5) shall include only interest actually paid by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including through the exercise of remedies under any Lien permitted in respect thereof); 

(6) costs associated with Hedging Obligations (including amortization of fees); provided, however, that if
Hedging Obligations result in net benefits rather than costs, such benefits shall be credited to reduce Consolidated Interest Expense unless, pursuant to GAAP, such net benefits are otherwise reflected in Consolidated Net Income; 

(7) the consolidated interest expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries that was capitalized during such period;

 (8) Receivables Fees; and 

(9) the cash contributions to any employee stock ownership plan or similar trust to the extent such contributions are used by
such plan or trust to pay interest or fees to any Person (other than the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) in connection with Indebtedness Incurred by such plan or trust.

(a) Unless the context otherwise requires: 

(1) a term has the meaning assigned to it herein; 

(2) an accounting term not otherwise defined has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP; 

(3) “or” is not exclusive; 

(4) words in the singular include the plural, and words in the plural include the singular; 

(5) unsecured Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinate or junior to secured Indebtedness merely by virtue of its
nature as unsecured Indebtedness; 
 (6) “$” and “U.S. dollars” each refer to United States dollars, or
such other money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; 

(7) provisions apply to successive events and transactions; 

(8) unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to an “Appendix,” “Article,” “Section,”
“clause,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” refers to an Appendix, Article, Section, clause, Schedule or Exhibit, as the case may be, of this Indenture; 

(9) the words “herein,” “hereof” and other words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and
not any particular Article, Section, clause or other subdivision;

 -29- 












 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on
the Incurrence of Liens or any other transaction, event or circumstance, or any determination made under any other provision of this Indenture (any of the foregoing, a “subject transaction”), the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of
a subject transaction denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such subject transaction (which, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be
the date first committed, and, in all other cases shall be deemed to be the date Incurred, made or entered into or the date of the occurrence of such transaction, event or circumstance or the applicable date of determination); provided that
if a Lien is granted to secure Indebtedness to refinance or replace other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and secured by a Lien, and such refinancing or replacement 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 or replacement, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such
refinancing or replacement Indebtedness secured by such Lien does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the
Company or any Guarantor may secure by a Lien shall not be deemed to be exceeded (and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred) solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any
Indebtedness secured by a Lien that refinances other Indebtedness secured by a Lien, 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 refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 (c) When calculating the
availability under any basket or financial ratio (including the Secured Leverage Ratio and the amount of Consolidated Total Assets, and the component definitions of any of the foregoing) under this Indenture in connection with a Limited Condition
Acquisition, the date of calculation or determination of such basket or ratio and whether such action or transaction is permitted (or any requirement or condition therefor is complied with or satisfied (including as to the absence of any Default or
Event of Default)) shall, at the option of the Company, be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into or, in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and
Mergers or similar law or practices in other jurisdictions apply, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer or similar announcement or determination in another jurisdiction subject to similar laws in
respect of a target of a Limited Condition Acquisition (any such date, the “Acquisition Test Date”) and such baskets or ratios (and whether any related requirements or conditions are complied with) shall be calculated or determined
on a pro forma basis consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of “Secured Leverage Ratio” after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in
connection therewith (including the granting of Liens in respect of Indebtedness Incurred and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred on the Acquisition Test Date and if after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the
other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including the granting of Liens in respect of Indebtedness Incurred and the use of proceeds thereof) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been able to undertake such
actions and transactions on the Acquisition Test Date in compliance with such basket or ratio (including any related requirements or conditions), such ratio or basket (including any related requirements or conditions) will be deemed complied with
(or satisfied) for all purposes (in the case of Liens, for example, whether such Liens and Indebtedness secured thereby is Incurred on the Acquisition Test Date or at any time thereafter); provided that if financial statements prepared on a
consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP for a more recently ended fiscal quarter become available, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to recalculate or redetermine all such ratios or baskets (including any


  
 -30- 












 
related requirements or conditions) on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of recalculation or redetermination will thereafter be deemed to be the applicable
Acquisition Test Date for purposes of such ratios or baskets (including any related requirements or conditions). For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such baskets or ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such basket or ratio
(including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets or of the EBITDA or assets of the target company) subsequent to such Acquisition Test Date and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition
Acquisition, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition and the related transactions are permitted under this
Indenture and (y) such baskets or ratios (including any related requirements or conditions) shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related transactions; provided that if the Company
elects to have such determinations occur at the Acquisition Test Date, any such transactions and actions (including any granting of Liens in respect of Indebtedness Incurred and the use of proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred on the
Acquisition Test Date and outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any baskets or ratios under this Indenture in connection with any action or transaction unrelated to such Limited Condition Acquisition after the Acquisition Test Date and
before the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition unless and until such Limited Condition Acquisition has been terminated or abandoned, as determined by the Company, prior to the consummation thereof. 

(d) When calculating the availability under any basket or financial ratio (including the Secured Leverage Ratio and the amount of Consolidated
Total Assets, and the component definitions of any of the foregoing) under this Indenture in connection with the incurrence of any Permitted Lien, the Company may elect, at its option, to treat all or any part of any Indebtedness (and the issuance
and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) that is to be secured by such Permitted Lien (and such committed amount so elected, shall be referred to, so long as such election is not revoked, as “Reserved
Indebtedness”), as being Incurred and secured as of such election date, and, if such basket or financial ratio is satisfied with respect thereto on such election date, any subsequent drawing or redrawing thereunder (and the issuance and
creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) will be treated as a Permitted Lien satisfying and Incurred under such basket or financial ratio whether or not capacity under such basket is available or such financial ratio
is satisfied at the time of drawing or redrawing such Indebtedness (or issuance or creation of letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances). Any subsequent determinations of basket capacity or calculation of financial ratios shall treat Reserved
Indebtedness as outstanding whether or not such Indebtedness is drawn at such time until the commitments in respect of Reserved Indebtedness terminate or the Company revokes its election in respect of such Reserved Indebtedness. 

Section 1.04 Acts of Holders. 
 (a)
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is
hereby expressly required, to the Company and the Guarantors. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or the holding by any Person of a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04. 

  
 -31- 












 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may
be proved (1) by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof or (2) in any other manner deemed reasonably sufficient by the Trustee. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also
constitute proof of the authority of the Person executing the same. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee
deems sufficient. 
 (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind every future
Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee, the Company or the Guarantors in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 (e) The Company may set a record date for purposes of
determining the identity of Holders entitled to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, or to vote on or consent to any action authorized or
permitted to be taken by Holders, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so; provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any
notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in clause (f) of this Section 1.04. Unless otherwise specified, if not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action,
or in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, any such record date shall be the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or vote or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such
solicitation or vote. If any record date is set pursuant to this clause (e), the Holders on such record date, and only such Holders, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action (including revocation of any action), whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes, or each affected Holder, as applicable, on such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice
of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.01. 

(f) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to join in the giving or making of
(1) any notice of default under Section 6.01(a), (2) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 6.02, (3) any direction referred to in Section 6.05 or (4) any request to pursue a remedy referred to in
Section 6.06(a)(2). If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes or each affected Holder,
as applicable, on such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration
Date to be given to the Company and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.01. 

  
 -32- 












 (g) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with
regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such
principal amount. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such
different part. 
 (h) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including a Depositary that is the Holder of a Global
Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depositary,
that is the Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such Depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices. 

(i) The Company may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note
held by a Depositary entitled under the procedures of such Depositary, if any, to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in
this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders; provided that if such a record date is fixed, only the beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies shall be entitled to
make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such beneficial owners remain beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note after such record date. No such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date. 

(j) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day
as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 12.01, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this
Section 1.04, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 45th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as
provided in this clause (j). 
 ARTICLE 2 

THE NOTES 
 Section 2.01 Form and Dating;
Terms. 
 (a) Provisions relating to the Notes issued are set forth in Appendix A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly
made a part of this Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes
may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules or agreements with national securities exchanges to which the Company or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is
in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 -33- 












 (b) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under
this Indenture is unlimited. 
 (c) The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part
of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts
with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 (d) The Notes shall be
subject to repurchase by the Company pursuant to a Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 4.09. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3. 

(e) Additional Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Company without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall rank
pari passu with, and be consolidated with and form a single class with, the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise (other than issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment
Date and the initial interest accrual date) as the Initial Notes. Any Additional Notes may be issued under a supplemental indenture to this Indenture; provided that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN from the Initial Notes. 
 Section 2.02 Execution and
Authentication. 
 (a) At least one Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Company by manual, facsimile or other electronic
(including “.pdf” or “.tif” format) signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 

(b) A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.

 (c) On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an “Authentication
Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time and from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount
specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder. 
 (d) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent
acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. 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 Company. 
 Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying
Agent. 
 (a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and at least one office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer
and exchange. The Company may appoint one or 

  
 -34- 












 
more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents for the Notes. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 (b) DTC shall be the initial Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Company
initially appoints the Trustee to act as Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Company shall, no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on each due date for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
on any of the Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the Holders entitled to the same, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of
its action or failure so to act. Subject to actual receipt of such funds as provided by this Section 2.04 by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall make payments on the Notes to the Holders entitled thereto on such date and in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture and the Notes. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying
Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay
all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, a Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further
liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings
relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05 Holder Lists. 

The Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses
of all Holders, together with the principal amount of Notes held by each such Holder and the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days
before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders. 

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and
in compliance with Appendix A. 
 (b) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request. 

  
 -35- 












 (c) 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 (other than pursuant to Section 2.07), but the Company may require a Holder to pay 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 charges payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.09 or 9.04). 

(d) 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 Company, 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. 

(e) Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note during a
period beginning at the opening of business 10 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) 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 (3) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date. 
 (f) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company 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, premium, if any, and (subject to the Record Date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all
other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (g) Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 (h) At the option of
the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the replacement Global Note for which the Holder making the exchange is entitled pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depository in accordance
with Section 2.02. When Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.02. 
 (i) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the
Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by facsimile or electronic (including “.pdf” or “.tif” format) transmission. 

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 

(a) If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or any Registrar or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or
wrongfully taken and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement
Note if the Trustee’s requirements are otherwise met. An indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent
from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Company and the Trustee in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be
entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, in case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken
Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 

  
 -36- 












 (b) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.07, the Company may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith. 

(c) The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
 Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 

(a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it
for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, those paid pursuant to the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 2.07, and those described in this
Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; provided that Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company will not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(b). 
 (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to
Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the
Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York. 
 (c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under
Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue from and after the date of such payment. 
 (d) If a
Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on the maturity date, any redemption date or any date of purchase pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be
redeemed or purchased on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 
 In
determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes beneficially owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not
outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the
Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor. 

  
 -37- 












 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits
accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11 Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its then customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposition of all cancelled
Notes shall, upon the written request of the Company, be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. 

(a) If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the
extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case, at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing
of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related
payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name
and at the expense of the Company) shall send, or cause to be sent to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

(b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon
registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue interest, which were carried by such other Note. 

  
 -38- 












 Section 2.13 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee and the Agents shall use
CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Change of Control Offers as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or in Change of Control Offers and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange or Change
of Control Offer shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee and the Agents in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers. 

ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION 

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee. 

If the Company elects to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least two Business Days before
notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date (except in the case of a
redemption in connection with defeasance under Article 8 or satisfaction and discharge under Article 11), an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (1) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to
which the redemption shall occur, (2) the redemption date, (3) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (4) the redemption price, if then ascertainable. If any such redemption is, in the Company’s sole discretion,
made subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such Officers’ Certificate shall certify the conditions that such redemption is subject to, and the Company shall give the Trustee prompt notice of the non-satisfaction of any conditions, after which the Trustee shall give notice to the Holders in the same manner as the related notice of redemption was given that such conditions have not been satisfied and that the
redemption shall not occur. 
 Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased; Conditions to Redemption. 

(a) If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.07 or purchased in a Change of Control Offer at any time, the
Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, and in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary in the case of Global
Notes; provided that the unredeemed portion of any Note redeemed in part must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular
Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the then outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or
purchase. 
 (b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case
of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of $2,000
or less shall be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be
redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 

  
 -39- 












 (c) After the redemption date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed in part only, a new
Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or
appropriate book entries shall be made to reflect such partial redemption). 
 (d) Any redemption of the Notes and any notice of redemption
of Notes may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of an Equity Offering, Change of Control, asset sale or other transaction or event. If a redemption of Notes is subject to the
satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the Company may, in its discretion, delay the redemption date until such time (including more than 60 days after the date of the related notice of redemption) as any or all such conditions shall be
satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), and the Company may, in its sole discretion, rescind the notice of redemption related to any such redemption at any time if it determines that any or all such conditions will not be
satisfied or waived. 
 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

(a) The Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed (or, in the case of Global Notes, by electronic transmission) notices of redemption of Notes
at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Article at such Holder’s registered address or, in the case of Global Notes, otherwise in accordance with the
procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with defeasance under Article 8 or satisfaction and discharge under Article 11. 

(b) The notice shall identify the Notes (including CUSIP and/or ISIN number) to be redeemed and shall state: 

(1) the redemption date; 
 (2)
the redemption price if then ascertainable, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest; provided that in connection with a redemption under Section 3.07(a), the notice need not set forth the redemption
price but only the manner of calculation thereof; 
 (3) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of
that Note that is to be redeemed; 
 (4) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 

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

  
 -40- 












 (7) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to
which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (8) if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions
precedent as determined by the Company in its discretion, the conditions precedent to such redemption and that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date of the
notice of redemption) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not
have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed, or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s sole discretion if the Company determines that
any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived; and 
 (9) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy
of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 (c) At the Company’s written request, the
Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least two Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be
sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be
stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03(b). 
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once a notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03 and all conditions (if any) to such redemption are satisfied as and
when required (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion and taking into account any election by the Company to delay the applicable redemption date as provided in Section 3.02(d)) or the Company waives in writing any such conditions
that are not satisfied, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date (or, if the Company has delayed such redemption date, the applicable delayed redemption date, as the case may be) at the redemption price.
The notice, if sent in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note
designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption date (or delayed redemption date, as the case may be),
interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 
 Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

(a) No later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the redemption date (or delayed redemption date) or purchase date, the Company shall
deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to
receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the redemption date (or delayed redemption date) or purchase date. The Paying Agent shall promptly pay to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed or repurchased the
applicable redemption or purchase price thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the
amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

  
 -41- 












 (b) If the Company complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the
redemption date (or delayed redemption date) or purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed or
purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (or delayed redemption date) or purchase date shall be paid on the redemption date (or delayed
redemption date) or purchase date to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because
of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date (or delayed redemption date) or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any
interest accrued to the redemption date (or delayed redemption date) or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. 

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the
Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to the Holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing
the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this
Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officers’ Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. 

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption. 

(a) At any time prior to June 15, 2025, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, upon notice pursuant to
Section 3.03, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the
relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the redemption date. Promptly after the determination thereof, the Company shall give the Trustee notice of the redemption price provided for in this
Section 3.07(a), and the Trustee shall not be responsible for such calculation. 
 (b) Prior to June 15, 2025, the Company may on
any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes), upon notice pursuant to Section 3.03, with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or
more Equity Offerings at a redemption price of 106.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (which accrued and unpaid interest need not be funded with the Net Cash Proceeds of any such Equity
Offering), if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such redemption date;
provided that (1) at least 50% of the original principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes and excluding the principal amount of Notes redeemed under Section 3.07(a) prior to
such redemption or substantially concurrently with such redemption) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (unless all Notes are redeemed substantially concurrently); and (2) each such redemption occurs
within 180 days of the date of closing of the applicable Equity Offering. 
 (c) Except pursuant to Section 3.07(a), (b) or (e), the
Notes shall not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to June 15, 2025. 

  
 -42- 












 (d) On and after June 15, 2025, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part,
upon notice pursuant to Section 3.03 at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth in this Section 3.07(d), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but
excluding, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month
period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2025
	  	 	103.000	% 
	 2026
	  	 	101.500	% 
	 2027 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer or Change of Control Offer for the
Notes, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes in such offer and the Company, or any third party making an offer in lieu of the Company,
purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 60 days
following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to the price offered to each other Holder of the Notes in such offer (which may be less than par) plus, to the extent not
included in the offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 

(f) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06. 

(g) The Company or its Affiliates may acquire Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases,
negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture. 

Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption. 

The Company will not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

ARTICLE 4 
 COVENANTS 

Section 4.01 Payment of Notes. 
 (a)
The Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying
Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary, holds as of 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, and
interest then due. 

  
 -43- 












 (b) The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under
any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy
Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Section 4.02
Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 (a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an
affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company and the Guarantors in
respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company 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 Company 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. 

(b) The Company may from time to time designate additional offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company 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. 

(c) The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in
accordance with Section 2.03. 
 Section 4.03 Reports and Other Information. 

(a) Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to the
extent permitted by the Exchange Act, the Company will file with the SEC, and make available to the Trustee and the Holders, the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as
the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to U.S. issuers within the time periods specified therein or in the relevant forms.    In the event that
the Company is not permitted to file such reports, documents and information with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company will nevertheless make available such Exchange Act reports, documents and information to the Trustee and the Holders
as if the Company were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within the time periods specified therein or in the relevant forms. 

(b) If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiaries taken together would
have been a Significant Subsidiary, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.03(a) shall include a presentation of financial metrics (selected in the Company’s sole discretion), either on the face of the
financial statements or in the footnotes to the financial statements, or in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” section of the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The financial information and reports required by this covenant need not include any separate financial statements of a Guarantor or information required by Rule 3-10, 3-16 or 13-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC (or any successor regulation) so
long as such financial information and reports are accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to the Company and the Guarantors, on one hand, and the information
relating to non-Guarantors, on the other hand. 

  
 -44- 












 (c) In addition, the Company and the Guarantors will agree that they will make available to
the Holders and to prospective investors, upon the request of such Holders, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act. For
purposes of this Section 4.03, the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have furnished the reports to the Trustee and the Holders as required by this Section 4.03 if the Company has filed such reports with the SEC on the EDGAR
filing system and such reports are publicly available; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine if such filings have been made. 

(d) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt
thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee
is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate. 

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the Issue Date, a certificate
from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the
supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company and each Guarantor have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such
certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge, the Company and each Guarantor have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every condition and covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or
observance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company and each Guarantor are
taking or propose to take with respect thereto). 
 (b) When any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, or if the
Trustee or the holder of any other evidence of Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default, the Company shall promptly (which shall be no more than ten Business Days
after receiving written notice or a responsible officer becoming aware thereof) send to the Trustee written notice specifying such event, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto (unless such Default
has been cured or waived within such 10 Business Day period). 
 Section 4.05 Taxes.

 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (6) of Section 6.01(a) in respect of the Company)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the written request of
such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable
immediately. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in clause (5) under Section 6.01(a) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be
automatically annulled if the default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (5) of Section 6.01(a) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the Holders of the relevant Indebtedness
within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing
Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. 

(b) If an Event of Default described in clause (6) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing in respect of the Company, the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. 

(c) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may waive all past defaults (except with respect to nonpayment
of principal, premium or interest of any Note held by a non-consenting holder) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) rescission would not conflict with
any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived. 
 Section 6.03 Other Remedies. 

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium,
if any, or interest on the Notes when due or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 (b) 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 of a Note 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. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all Holders waive
any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except: 

  
 -53- 












 (1) a continuing Default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any,
or interest on any Note held by a non-consenting Holder (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer); and 

(2) a Default with respect to a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder
affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for exercising 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 applicable law or this Indenture or that the Trustee
determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 

(a) Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the
remedy; 
 (3) such Holders have provided the Trustee with security or indemnity acceptable to the Trustee (acting
reasonably) against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days
after the receipt thereof and the provision of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is 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
(it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such holders). 

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on its Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates,
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company and any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the
extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel. 

Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

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

Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no
right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 6.12 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon
the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and is entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under

Trustee.

for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care.

 (f) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to Incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. 

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the existence of a Default or Event of Default,
the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, or

 Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee or any Agent in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or such Agent. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.09. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall
not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any
money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture

Trustee shall send to each Holder a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of an Event of Default specified in clauses (1) or (2) of Section 6.01(a), the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any
continuing Default if the Trustee determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. 
 Section 7.06
Compensation and Indemnity. 
 (a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time
such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.
The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation,
disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel; provided that in the case of legal fees and expenses, the Company’s reimbursement obligation shall be limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of one primary counsel
to the Trustee, and, if reasonably required, the legal fees and expenses of additional local or specialized counsel. The Trustee shall provide the Company reasonable notice of any expenditure not in the ordinary course of business. 

(b) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold each of the Trustee and any predecessor
harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable fees and expenses of one primary counsel to the Trustee, and, if reasonably required, the legal fees and
expenses of additional local or specialized counsel) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against
the Company or any Guarantor (including this Section 7.06)) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or any Guarantor, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of
its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the
extent the Company has been materially prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company 

  
 -59- 












 
shall pay the fees and expenses of one primary counsel to the Trustee, and, if reasonably required, the legal fees and expenses of additional local or specialized counsel. The Company need not
pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own
willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium and interest on
particular Notes. 
 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a)(6), (7) or (8) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

Section 7.07 Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time by giving 30 days prior notice of such resignation to the Company and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so
notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09; 

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Company’s expense), the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

six months, fails to comply with Section 7.09, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and such transfer shall be subject to the Lien provided
for in Section 7.06. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

(f) As used in this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall also include each Agent. 

Section 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 Section 7.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose
of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the trust may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments necessary to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Holders, such title to the trust, or any part hereof, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 7.09 and no notice to Holders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 7.07. 
 (b) Every separate trustee
and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: 

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to
act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts,
in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee; 

  
 -61- 












 (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; and 
 (iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any
separate trustee or co-trustee. 
 (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article 7. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be
vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of
this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection or rights (including the rights to compensation, reimbursement and indemnification hereunder) to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Trustee. 
 (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its
agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf
and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by
the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. 
 ARTICLE 8 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

(a) Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 8.02(a), and their Note Guarantees, as applicable,
and to have satisfied all of their other obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

  
 -62- 












 (1) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due, solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04; 

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes,
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for Note payments held in trust; 

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company’s obligations in connection
therewith; and 
 (4) this Section 8.02. 

(b) Following the Company’s exercise of its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default and the Guarantees in effect at such time shall terminate as provided in Section 10.06. 
 (c) Subject to compliance with this
Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. 

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.07, 4.09, 4.10 and 9.06, on and after the date the conditions set
forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to this Indenture and the
outstanding Notes, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 6.01, but, except as specified above and in the remainder of this paragraph below, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the
option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(a)(4) (but only with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant Defeasance),
6.01(a)(5), 6.01(a)(6) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited financial statements of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.01(a)(7) and 6.01(a)(8), in each case, shall not constitute Events of Default. Following the Company’s exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option, the Note Guarantees in effect at such time shall
terminate as provided in Section 10.06. 
 Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

exclusions, beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case
of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary exceptions and exclusions, beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income,

 (8)
the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee (or, if applicable, a custodian) to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be (which instructions may be

such custodian or other trustee), in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee (or, if

Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

If the Trustee (or, if applicable, a custodian or another trustee) or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the
Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee (or, if applicable, such
custodian or other trustee) or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on
any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company and the Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(2) provide for the assumption by a successor entity of the obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under this Indenture;

material respect, the rights of any Holder; 
 (11) comply with any requirement of the SEC or the Trust Indenture Act or any

 -66- 












 (12) provide for the appointment of a successor trustee; provided
that the successor trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture, or to provide for the appointment of one or more co-trustees; or 

(13) conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of the
Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate. 
 (b) Upon the request of the Company, and
upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.05 and Section 12.02, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by this
Section 9.01 and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 

(c) After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company is required to send to the Holders a notice
briefly describing such amendment or supplement. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment or supplement. 

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders. 

(a) Except as provided in Section 9.01, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and
any Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
purchase, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on

Section 2.09 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02.

Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 (c) The consent of the Holders is not necessary under
this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplement. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or supplement. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this
Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. 

  
 -67- 












 (d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective,
the Company shall send to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure of the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or
affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 (e) Without the consent of each affected Holder, an amendment, supplement
or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(1) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(2) reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any Note; 

(3) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

the covenant set forth in Section 4.09; 
 (5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note; 

(6) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Notes
on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes (any such right to receive payment shall be considered impaired for purposes of this clause (6) only when
the terms of this Indenture or the Notes are amended to reduce the specified principal amount, percentage or amount of premium or interest rate or to extend any interest payment date or the final maturity date; any such right to institute suit to
enforce payment of any payment shall be considered impaired for the purposes of this clause (6) only when this Indenture contains (or is amended to contain) provisions preventing the holder from commencing an action at law or in equity to
enforce payment; and this clause (6) shall not be construed as requiring the consent of Holders to any amendment or to any action, including any action undertaken by the Company or any Guarantor, except as specifically provided in this clause
(6)); 
 (7) make any change to this Section 9.02(e) or any provisions of this Indenture relating to the waiver of past
Defaults; or 
 (8) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary or
Note Guarantees of a group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company in any manner adverse to
Holders. 
 Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

(a) Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of
a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of
a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its
terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

  
 -68- 












 (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date pursuant to
Section 1.04 for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Section 9.04 Notation on
or Exchange of Notes. 
 (a) The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note
thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

(b) Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 Section 9.05 Trustee to Receive Documents. 

In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.02, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and
that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Guarantor party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the
provisions hereof. 
 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01 Guarantee.

 (a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on a
senior basis, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (1) the principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all
other Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or
renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment
by the Company when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment
and not a guarantee of collection. 

  
 -69- 












 (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any
judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment,
filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be
discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 10.06. 

(c) Each of the Guarantors also agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and all costs and expenses (limited, in the case of legal fees and
expenses, to the reasonable fees and expenses of one primary counsel to each of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, taken as a whole, and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, to the reasonable fees and expenses of one
additional counsel to the Trustee and to each group of similarly situated Holders of Notes, taken as a whole) reasonably Incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 

(d) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

 (e) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of
the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed
hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this
Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantees.

 (f) Unless and until released in accordance with Section 10.06, each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and
continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed
for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though
such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such
amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 (g) In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 (h) Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made
without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 Section 10.02 Limitation on
Guarantor Liability. 
 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such
parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or
state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will,
after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or
on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under
applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other
Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery. 

(a) To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture or a supplemental
indenture hereto in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, as the case may be, shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an officer or other authorized signatory of the Guarantor. 

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes. 
 (c) If an officer or other authorized signatory of
any Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office or is no longer an authorized signatory at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be valid nevertheless. 

(d) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 (e) If required by Section 4.10, the Company shall cause any newly created
or acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.10 and this Article 10, to the extent applicable. 
 Section 10.04
Subrogation. 
 Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any
Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of
subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary (or such Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary), or all or substantially all of the properties and assets of such Guarantor are sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, exchanged, leased or
otherwise disposed of, if, in each case, (x) such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, exchange, lease or other disposition is made in compliance with this Indenture, including, if applicable, Article 5 and (y)(i) if the Senior Secured

consummation of such transaction; 
 (2) (a) if the Senior Secured Credit Agreement is outstanding, upon the release or
discharge of such Guarantor from its liability as borrower or its Guarantee of Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement (including, by reason of the termination of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) or (b) if the Senior Secured

notation on the Notes to reflect any release, discharge or termination of any Note Guarantee.

its sole discretion that holding trust funds would be impracticable, and, in either case, provides written notice to the Company to that effect, a custodian or trustee designated by the Company pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate and
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee), as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof in amounts as will be sufficient, in the case of a deposit of U.S.
Government Obligations or a combination of cash and U.S. Government Obligations, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, without consideration of any reinvestment of
interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the
deposit (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
default under, any Credit Facility or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; 

(C) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

 Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee (or, if applicable, a custodian or another trustee)
pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company) as the Trustee (or, if applicable, such custodian or other trustee) may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee (or, if
applicable, such custodian or other trustee), but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to
any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as Custodian or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such
Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization

request: 
 (i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or 

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

(2) in the case of Transfer Restricted Notes, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Section 2.3(b) of this Appendix A or otherwise in accordance with the Restricted Notes Legend, and are accompanied by a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the
reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto. 

(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be
exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, together with:

the Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding
the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, 
 the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the
Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal
amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so
canceled. If no Global Notes are then outstanding and the Global Note has not been previously exchanged for certificated securities pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Appendix A, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon
written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount. 

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. (i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein
shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global
Note shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note or
another Global Note. Such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial
interest in the Global Note being transferred. Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the
expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification in the form provided on the reverse side of the Initial Notes from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in
accordance with Regulation S, Rule 144 (if available), or another applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. 

(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in
another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to
be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred. 

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4 of
this Appendix A), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary
or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 (d) Restrictions on Transfer of
Regulation S Global Note. (i) Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the Regulation S Global Note and interests therein may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream. During the
Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred in accordance with the 

  
 4

the Rule 144A Global Note shall be made only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse side of the
Form of Note in Exhibit A to the effect that such transfer is being made to a Person who the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A. Such written certification

Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information
furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 
 (ii) The Trustee
shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any
transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when
expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

(i) Automatic Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Global Note for Beneficial
Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. Upon the Company’s satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, beneficial interests in Global Note that is a
Transfer Restricted Global Note may be automatically exchanged into beneficial interests in an 

  
 8 












 
Unrestricted Global Note without any action required by or on behalf of the Holder (the “Automatic Exchange”) at any time on or after the date (the “Automatic Exchange
Date”) designated by the Company. Upon the Company’s satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, the Company may (A) provide written notice to
the Trustee at least 10 calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange, instructing the Trustee to direct the Depositary to exchange all of the outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note to the
Unrestricted Global Note, which the Company shall have previously otherwise made eligible for exchange with the DTC, (B) provide prior written notice (the “Automatic Exchange Notice”) to each Holder at such Holder’s
address appearing in the Note Register at least 10 calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange (the “Automatic Exchange Notice Date”), which notice must include (I) the Automatic Exchange Date, (II) the section of this
Indenture pursuant to which the Automatic Exchange shall occur, (III) the “CUSIP” number of the Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note from which such Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred and (IV) the
“CUSIP” number of the Unrestricted Global Note into which such Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred, and (C) on or prior to the date of the Automatic Exchange, deliver to the Trustee for authentication one or more
Unrestricted Global Notes, duly executed by the Company, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Global Notes that are Transfer Restricted Notes to be exchanged. At the Company’s request on no less than five
calendar days’ notice, the Trustee shall deliver, in the Company’s name and at its expense, the Automatic Exchange Notice (which shall be prepared by the Company) to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3, during the 10-day period between the Automatic Exchange Notice Date and the Automatic Exchange Date, no transfers or exchanges other than
pursuant to this Section 2.3(j) shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the Company. As a condition to any Automatic Exchange, the Company shall provide, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon, an Officers’
Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Automatic Exchange shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Restricted Notes Legend
shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act and that the aggregate principal amount of the particular Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note is to be transferred to the particular Unrestricted Global
Note by adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary to reflect the Automatic Exchange. The Company may request from Holders such information it reasonably determines is required in order to be able to deliver such
Officers’ Certificate. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.3(j), the aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes shall be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as
custodian for the Depositary, to reflect the relevant increase or decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note resulting from the applicable exchange. The Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note from which beneficial interests are
transferred pursuant to an Automatic Exchange shall be canceled following the Automatic Exchange. 
 Section 2.4 Definitive Notes. 

(a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as Custodian pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be transferred to the
beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.3 of this Appendix A
and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in
each case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice 

  
 9 












 
or after the Company becomes aware of such cessation, (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (iii) the Company, in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures
of the Depository, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes under this Indenture. In addition, any Affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor that is a beneficial owner of all or part of a Global Note
may have such Affiliate’s beneficial interest transferred to such Affiliate in the form of a Definitive Note, by providing a written request to the Company and the Trustee and such Opinions of Counsel, certificates or other information as may
be required by this Indenture or the Company or Trustee. 
 (b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof
pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion
of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations
of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. Any certificated Initial Note or Additional Note in the form of a Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the
Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.3(e) of this Appendix A, bear the Restricted Notes Legend. 

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(b) of this Appendix A, the registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 

(d) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.4(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) of this Appendix A,
the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes in fully registered form without interest coupons.

wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account at least 30 days prior to the applicable payment date. 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.
