 INDENTURE, dated as of June 29, 2018, among Chaparral Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Issuer”), the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined herein) and UMB Bank, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee”). 

The Issuer has duly authorized the creation of an issue of 8.750% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) and, to provide
therefor, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors have duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture. All things necessary to make the Notes, when duly issued and executed by the Issuer, and authenticated and delivered under this
Indenture, the valid obligations of the Issuer, and to make this Indenture a valid and binding agreement of the Issuer, have been done. 

Each party hereto agrees as follows for the benefit of the other party and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes. 

ARTICLE I. 
 DEFINITIONS AND
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 
 SECTION 1.1. Definitions. 

“144A Global Note” means a Global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto bearing the
Global Note Legend and the Private Placement Legend and deposited with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the Depository or its nominee that will be issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes sold in
reliance on Rule 144A. 
 “Acquired Indebtedness” means Indebtedness (i) of a Person or any of its Subsidiaries
existing at the time such Person becomes, or is merged with and into, a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person, in each case whether or not Incurred by such Person in connection with,
or in anticipation or contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary or such acquisition. Acquired Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been Incurred, with respect to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, on the date such Person
becomes, or is merged with and into, a Restricted Subsidiary and, with respect to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, on the date of consummation of such acquisition of assets. 

“Additional Assets” means: 

(1) any properties or assets to be used by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in the Oil and Gas Business; 

(2) capital expenditures by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in the Oil and Gas Business; 

(3) the Capital Stock of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by
the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; or 
 (4) Capital Stock constituting a minority interest in any Person that at such

 provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (3) and (4), such Restricted Subsidiary is primarily
engaged in the Oil and Gas Business. 
  







 “Additional Notes” means Notes, in addition to, and having identical terms
(except for a date of original issuance different than the Issue Date) as, the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes issued on the Issue Date, issued pursuant to Article II and in compliance with Section 4.12. 

“Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” of a Person means (without duplication), as of the date of determination, the
remainder of: 
 (a) the sum of: 

(i) discounted future net revenues from Proved Reserves of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries calculated in accordance
with SEC guidelines before any state or federal income taxes, as estimated in a reserve report prepared as of the end of such Person’s most recently completed fiscal year (or, if such date of determination is within 45 days after the end of
such most recently completed fiscal year and no reserve report as of the end of such fiscal year has at the time been prepared or audited by independent petroleum engineers, the Person’s second preceding fiscal year) or, at such Person’s
option, such Person’s most recently completed fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available, in each case, which reserve report is prepared or audited by independent petroleum engineers as to Proved Reserves accounting
for at least 80% of all such discounted future net revenues and by such Person’s petroleum engineers with respect to any other Proved Reserves covered by such report, as increased by, as of the date of determination, the estimated discounted
future net revenues from: 
 (A) estimated Proved Reserves of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries acquired since
such year-end, which reserves were not reflected in such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, and 

(B) estimated Proved Reserves of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries attributable to extensions, discoveries and other
additions and upward revisions of estimates of Proved Reserves (including previously estimated development costs Incurred during the period and the accretion of discount since the prior period end) since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, due to exploration, development or exploitation, production or other activities, which would, in accordance with standard industry practice, cause such revisions,
in each case calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices for the fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of determination), and decreased by, as of the date of determination, the estimated discounted future net revenues from

 (C) estimated Proved Reserves of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries reflected in such reserve report produced or
disposed of since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, and 

(D) estimated Proved Reserves of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries reflected in such reserve report attributable to
downward revisions of estimates of Proved Reserves since the date of such year-end or quarterly reserve report, as applicable, due to changes in geological conditions or other factors which would, in
accordance with standard industry practice, cause such revisions, 

  
 -2- 








 in each case calculated on a pre-tax basis and
substantially in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices for the fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of determination); provided, however, that in the case of each of the determinations made pursuant to clauses
(A) through (D) above, such increases and decreases shall be as estimated by the Issuer’s petroleum engineers; 

(ii) the capitalized costs that are attributable to oil and gas properties of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries to
which no Proved Reserves are attributable, based on such Person’s books and records as of a date no earlier than the date of such Person’s latest available annual or quarterly financial statements; 

(iii) the Net Working Capital of such Person on a date no earlier than the date of such Person’s latest annual or
quarterly financial statements; and 
 (iv) the greater of: 

(A) the net book value of other tangible assets of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries, as of a date no earlier than
the date of such Person’s latest annual or quarterly financial statement, and 
 (B) the appraised value, as estimated
by independent appraisers, of other tangible assets of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries, as of a date no earlier than the date of such Person’s latest audited financial statements; 

minus 

(b) the sum of: 

(i) Minority Interests; 

(ii) any net gas balancing liabilities of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries reflected in such Person’s latest
audited balance sheet; 
 (iii) to the extent included in clause (a)(i) above, the discounted future net revenues, calculated
in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices utilized in such Person’s year-end reserve report), attributable to reserves which are required to be delivered to third parties to fully satisfy
the obligations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to Volumetric Production Payments (determined, if applicable, using the schedules specified with respect thereto); and 

(iv) the discounted future net revenues, calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines, attributable to reserves subject to
Dollar-Denominated Production Payments which, based on the estimates of production and price assumptions included in determining the discounted future net revenues specified in clause (a)(i) above, would be necessary to fully satisfy the payment
obligations of such Person and its Subsidiaries with respect to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments (determined, if applicable, using the schedules specified with respect thereto). 

If the Issuer changes its method of accounting from the full cost method of accounting to the successful efforts or a similar method, “Adjusted
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” will continue to be calculated as if the Issuer were still using the full cost method of accounting.

related commitment terminated), Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such discharge of such Indebtedness as if such discharge had occurred on the first
day of such period;

Asset Disposition or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is such an Asset Disposition, Consolidated EBITDA for such period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if

contribution had occurred on the first day of such period; and

subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) made any Asset Disposition or any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an
adjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above if made by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto
as if such Asset Disposition or Investment or acquisition of assets had occurred on the first day of such period. 
 For purposes of this
definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any calculation under this definition, the pro forma calculations will be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Issuer (including pro forma expense
and cost reductions calculated on a basis consistent with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act). If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest
expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the average rate in effect from the beginning of such period to the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement
applicable to such Indebtedness, but if the remaining term of such Interest Rate Agreement is less than 12 months, then such Interest Rate Agreement shall only be taken into account for that portion of the period equal to the remaining term
thereof). If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect bears an interest rate at the option of the Issuer, the interest rate shall be calculated by applying such optional rate chosen by the Issuer. Interest on Indebtedness that may
optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such
optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.

 (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication relating
thereto shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or depository rule or usage. The Issuer shall approve the form of the Notes and any
notation, legend or endorsement on them. Each Note shall be dated the date of its issuance and shall show the date of its authentication. 

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes, a form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A, shall constitute,
and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be

Exhibit A (the “Global Note”) attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon). Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon). Each Global Note shall provide that it shall represent up to the aggregate principal amount of Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes
represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as applicable, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.6 hereof. 

(c) Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S
Temporary Global Note, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the

(i) a written certificate from the Depository, together with copies of certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying
that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any beneficial

Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.6(b) hereof); and 
 (ii) an Officer’s Certificate from
the Issuer. 
 Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall be
exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee shall cancel the Regulation S Temporary
Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depository or
its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided. 

  
 -39- 








 (d) Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered
under this Indenture is unlimited. 
 The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuer pursuant to a Change of Control Offer as
provided in Section 4.15 hereof or an Asset Disposition Offer as provided under Section 4.16 hereof. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article III. 

Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Notes issued on the Issue Date may be created and issued from time to time by the

Date; provided that the Issuer’s ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Issuer’s compliance with Section 4.12 hereof. Any Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture supplemental to this
Indenture. 
 (e) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear
System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial

SECTION 2.2. Execution and Authentication; Aggregate Principal Amount. 

At least one Officer shall execute the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note or a Subsidiary Guarantee was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that
office or position at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note shall not be valid until
an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually or by facsimile signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

The Trustee shall authenticate (i) Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$300.0 million and (ii) subject to Section 4.12, Additional Notes, in each case, upon a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate (an “Authentication Order”). Each Authentication Order
shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Notes or Additional Notes and whether the Notes are to be issued as Definitive Notes or Global Notes or such
other information as the Trustee may reasonably request. Any Additional Notes shall be part of the same issue as the Notes being issued on the Issue Date and will vote on all matters as one class with the Notes being issued on the Issue Date,
including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions, Change of Control Offers and Asset Disposition Offers; provided that Additional Notes will not be issued with the same CUSIP or ISIN, as applicable, as the Notes issued on the
Issue Date unless such Additional Notes are fungible with the Notes issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For the purposes of this Indenture, except for Section 4.12, references to the Notes include Additional Notes, if
any. In addition, with respect to authentication pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph, such written order from the Issuer shall be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel of the Issuer in a form reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee stating that the issuance of the Additional Notes does not give rise to an Event of Default, complies with this Indenture and has been duly authorized by the Issuer. 

  
 -40- 








 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”)
reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee
includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuer or with any Affiliate of the Issuer. 

The Notes shall be issuable in fully registered form only, without coupons, in denominations of at least $2,000 and any integral multiple of
$1,000 thereafter. 
 SECTION 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where (a) Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”), (b) Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer, upon prior written notice to the Trustee, may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying
agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent. The Issuer may act as Paying Agent, except that, for the purposes of payments on the Notes pursuant to Sections 4.15 and 4.16,
neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer may act as Paying Agent. 
 The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee, in advance, of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Issuer fails
to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. 
 The Issuer initially
appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of demands and notices in connection with the Notes, until such time as the Trustee has resigned or a successor has been appointed. Any of the Registrar, the Paying Agent or any
other agent may resign upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer. 
 SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent To Hold Assets in
Trust. 
 The Issuer 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 the Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Issuer or any
other obligor on the Notes), and the Issuer and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute
all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held
by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets distributed. If the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all assets held by it as Paying Agent. Upon distribution to the
Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Issuer to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer) shall have no further liability for such assets.

 SECTION 2.5. Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
the Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee before each Record Date and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing a list as of such date and in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee.

(c) hereof. 
 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial
interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on

instructions from the Holder thereof. 
 (f) Rule 144. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, transfers in reliance upon Rule 144
will not be permitted, even if then legally available. 
 (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all
beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and
canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depository
at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global

surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (v) The Issuer shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the
transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.2 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection,

 SECTION 2.7.
Replacement Notes. 
 If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Note claims that
the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute a Subsidiary Guarantee thereon if the Trustee’s requirements are
met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity of reasonable tenor, sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, to protect the Issuer,
the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. Every replacement Note shall constitute an additional obligation of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors. 

SECTION 2.8. Outstanding Notes. 

Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except 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 and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9, a Note does
not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or any of its Affiliates holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to
Section 2.7 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser for value. A mutilated Note
ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. 
 If on a Redemption Date or the
Maturity Date the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay all of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes payable
on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed not to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

 SECTION 2.9. Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Notes
owned by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be considered as though they are 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 which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so considered. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee, in writing, when, to its knowledge, any of its Affiliates
repurchase or otherwise acquire Notes, of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes so repurchased or otherwise acquired and such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely thereon. 

SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes. 

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon receipt of an
Authentication Order. The Authentication Order shall specify the amount of temporary Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Notes are to be authenticated. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes
but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and so indicate in the Authentication Order. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare, the Trustee shall authenticate and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall
execute Subsidiary Guarantees on, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. 

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the Issuer, shall dispose, in its
customary manner, of all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. The Trustee shall maintain a record of all canceled Notes. Subject to Section 2.7, the Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid
or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to
the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11. 
 SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. 

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months, and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent
lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which special record date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of defaulted
interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. The Issuer 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 (a
“Default Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Issuer 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 on or 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;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Issuer deposit monies proposed to be paid in respect of defaulted interest later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the proposed Default Interest Payment


  
 -51- 








 
Date. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Issuer shall send (or cause to be sent) to each Holder, as of a recent date selected by the Issuer, with a copy to the
Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any interest which
is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.1(1) shall be paid to Holders as of the regular record date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been paid,
and (b) the Issuer may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange. 
 SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Number. 

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use a “CUSIP” number, and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption
or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP number. 

SECTION 2.14. Deposit of Monies. 

Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Asset
Disposition Purchase Date, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control
Payment Date and Asset Disposition Purchase Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and
Asset Disposition Purchase Date, as the case may be.

such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption or purchase date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent, including by
electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the
redemption date or by the redemption date as so delayed, or such notice or offer may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if the Issuer reasonably believes that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived.

the preceding paragraph and defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price plus unpaid accrued interest, if any, interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such
Notes are presented for payment.

however, that nothing in this Section 4.5 shall prevent the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of its properties, if such discontinuance is (i) in the ordinary course
of business pursuant to customary business terms or (ii) in the good faith judgment of the respective Board of Directors or other governing body of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, desirable in the conduct of their
respective businesses and is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 

  
 -58- 








 (b) The Issuer shall provide or cause to be provided, for itself and each of the Restricted
Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds that, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, are adequate and appropriate for the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted
Subsidiaries in a prudent manner, with reputable insurers or with the government of the United States of America, Canada or an agency or instrumentality thereof, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and by such methods as shall be customary, in
the good faith judgment of the Issuer, for companies similarly situated in the industry. 
 SECTION 4.6. Compliance Certificate;
Notice of Default. 
 (a) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal years of the Issuer, an Officers’ Certificate (provided, however, that one of the signatories to each such Officers’ Certificate must state that he or she is the Issuer’s principal executive officer,
principal financial officer or principal accounting officer), as to such Officers’ knowledge, without independent investigation, of the Issuer’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (without regard to any
period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture) and in the event any Default under this Indenture exists, such Officers shall specify the nature of such Default. Each such Officers’ Certificate shall also notify the
Trustee should the Issuer elect to change the manner in which it fixes its fiscal year-end. 
 (b) So
long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the annual financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.8 shall be accompanied by a written report of the Issuer’s
independent certified public accountants (who shall be a firm of established national reputation) stating (A) that their audit examination has included a review of the terms of this Indenture and the form of the Notes as they relate to
accounting matters, and (B) whether, in connection with their audit examination, any Default or Event of Default has come to their attention and if such a Default or Event of Default has come to their attention, specifying the nature and period
of existence thereof; provided, however, that, without any restriction as to the scope of the audit examination, such independent certified public accountants shall not be liable by reason of any failure to obtain knowledge of any such
Default or Event of Default that would not be disclosed in the course of an audit examination conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 

(c) (i) If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) if any Holder seeks to exercise any remedy under
this Indenture with respect to a claimed Default under this Indenture or the Notes, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, at its address set forth in Section 11.2 hereof, by registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission followed
by hard copy by registered or certified mail an Officers’ Certificate specifying such event, notice or other action within 30 days of the occurrence thereof. 

SECTION 4.7. Compliance with Laws. 

The Issuer shall comply, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations,
orders and restrictions of the United States of America, all states and municipalities thereof, and of any governmental department, commission, board, regulatory authority, bureau, agency and instrumentality of the foregoing, in respect of the
conduct of its respective businesses and the ownership of its respective properties, except for such non-compliances as could not singly or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

  
 -59- 








 SECTION 4.8. Reports to Holders. 

(a) Whether or not the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to the extent not
prohibited by the Exchange Act, the Issuer will file with the SEC and make available to the Trustee and the Holders without cost to any Holder, 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 and applicable to a U.S. corporation within the time periods specified therein with respect to a non-accelerated filer. In the event that the Issuer is not permitted to file such reports, documents and information with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Issuer will nevertheless make available such
Exchange Act information to the Trustee and the Holders without cost to any Holder as if the Issuer were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within the time periods specified therein with respect to
a non-accelerated filer. 
 (b) If the Issuer has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted
Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes to the financial statements
and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(c) Any direct or indirect parent entity of the Issuer may satisfy the obligations of the Issuer set forth in this Section 4.8 by
providing the requisite financial and other information of such parent entity instead of the Issuer so long as (i) the Issuer is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of such parent entity and (ii) such parent entity does not conduct any business
other than the holding of Capital Stock of the Issuer, does not have any material liabilities other than liabilities of the Issuer, does not own any material assets other than the Capital Stock of the Issuer and does not generate or derive any
material revenues other than the revenues of the Issuer; provided that to the extent such parent entity holds assets (other than its direct or indirect interest in the Issuer) that exceeds the lesser of (i) 0.5% of the total assets of such
parent entity and (ii) 0.5% of the total revenue for the preceding fiscal year of such parent entity, then such information related to such parent entity shall be accompanied by consolidating information, which may be unaudited, that explains in
reasonable detail the differences between the information of such parent entity, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, on the other hand. 

(d) The Issuer will hold quarterly conference calls (for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer’s quarterly earnings call shall satisfy such
requirement) for the Holders and securities analysts to discuss such financial information for the previous reporting period no later than 10 Business Days after distribution of such financial information. 

(e) For so long as any Notes remain outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144, the Issuer and the Subsidiary
Guarantors have agreed 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 to the extent not
satisfied by the foregoing. For purposes of this Section 4.8, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors will be deemed to have furnished the reports referred to in Section 4.8(a) to the Trustee and the Holders as required by this
Section 4.8 if it has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available.

 SECTION 4.9. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. 

The Issuer and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Issuer from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest, if any,
on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Issuer and each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

 The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to: 

(1) declare or pay any dividend or make any payment or distribution on or in respect of the Issuer’s Capital Stock
(including any payment or distribution in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) except:

in options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Capital Stock of the Issuer; and 
 (b) dividends or distributions
payable to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary and if such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, to minority stockholders (or owners of an equivalent interest in the case of a Subsidiary that is an entity other than a

(2) purchase, redeem, defease, retire or otherwise acquire for value any Capital Stock of the Issuer or any direct or indirect
parent of the Issuer held by Persons other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than in exchange for Capital Stock of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock)); 

(3) purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled
repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations (other than (x) Indebtedness permitted under clause (3) of the second paragraph of Section 4.12 or (y) the purchase,
repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in
each case due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement); or 

(4) make any Restricted Investment in any Person 

(any such dividend, distribution, purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, other acquisition, retirement or Restricted Investment referred to in clauses
(1) through (4) shall be referred to herein as a “Restricted Payment”), if at the time the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment: 

  
 -61- 








 (a) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

 (b) the Issuer is not able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to the first paragraph of
Section 4.12 after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to such Restricted Payment; or 
 (c) the aggregate amount of
such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments declared or made subsequent to the Issue Date would exceed the sum of: 

(i) 50% of Consolidated Net Income for the period (treated as one accounting period) from the first day of the first full
fiscal quarter after the Issue Date occurs to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment for which internal financial statements are in existence (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income is a
deficit, minus 100% of such deficit); 
 (ii) 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds, and the Fair Market Value of
property or securities other than cash (including Capital Stock of Persons engaged primarily in the Oil and Gas Business or assets used in the Oil and Gas Business), in each case received by the Issuer from the issue or sale of its Capital Stock
(other than Disqualified Stock) or other capital contributions subsequent to the Issue Date (other than Net Cash Proceeds received from an issuance or sale of such Capital Stock to (x) management, employees, directors or any direct or indirect

option plan or similar trust (to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan, option plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or Guaranteed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash
on or prior to the date of determination)); 
 (iii) the amount by which Indebtedness of the Issuer or its Restricted
Subsidiaries is reduced on the Issuer’s balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer) subsequent to the Issue Date of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries
convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer (less the amount of any cash, or the Fair Market Value of any other property (other than such Capital Stock), distributed by the Issuer upon such conversion
or exchange), together with the net proceeds, if any, received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries upon such conversion or exchange; and 

(iv) the amount equal to the aggregate net reduction in Restricted Investments made by the Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in any Person resulting from: 
 (A) repurchases, repayments or redemptions of such Restricted Investments by
such Person, proceeds realized upon the sale of such Restricted Investment (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer), repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of assets (including by way of dividend or distribution) by such Person to the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; 

  
 -62-

(valued in each case as provided in the definition of “Investment”) not to exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments previously made by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Unrestricted
Subsidiary, which amount in each case under this clause (iv) was included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; provided, however, that no amount will be included under this clause (iv) to the extent it is
already included in Consolidated Net Income; and 
 (C) the sale (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) of
the Capital Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

The provisions of the preceding paragraph will not prohibit: 

(1) any Restricted Payment made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Capital Stock
of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary or an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by
loans from or Guaranteed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination) or a substantially concurrent cash capital contribution received by the Issuer from its
shareholders; provided, however, that (a) such Restricted Payment will be excluded from subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments and (b) the Net Cash Proceeds from such sale of Capital Stock or capital
contribution will be excluded from clause (c)(ii) of the preceding paragraph;

case may be, that, in each case, is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.12; provided, however, that such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement will be excluded from subsequent
calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments; 
 (4) dividends paid or distributions made within 60 days after the date
of declaration if at such date of declaration such dividend or distribution would have complied with this Section 4.10; provided, however, that such dividends and distributions will be included in subsequent calculations of the

immediately succeeding calendar year); provided, further, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed (A) the cash proceeds received by the Issuer from the sale of Capital Stock of the Issuer
to members of management or directors of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries that occurs after the Issue Date (to the extent the cash proceeds from the sale of such Capital Stock have not otherwise been applied to the payment of Restricted
Payments by virtue of clause (c) of the preceding paragraph), plus (B) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date, less (C) the amount of any
Restricted Payments made pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) of this subclause (a); provided, further, however, that the amount of any such repurchase or redemption under this subclause (a) will be excluded in subsequent
calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments and the proceeds received from any such sale will be excluded from clause (c)(ii) of the preceding paragraph; and 

(b) the cancellation of loans or advances to employees or directors of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer the proceeds

Obligation (i) at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Obligation in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.15 or (ii) at a purchase price not
greater than 100% of the principal amount thereof in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.16; provided that, prior to or simultaneously with such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement,
the Issuer has made the Change of Control Offer or Asset Disposition Offer, as applicable, as provided in such section with respect to the Notes and has completed the repurchase or redemption of all Notes validly tendered for payment in connection

For purposes of this Section 4.10, the phrase “substantially concurrent” is intended to mean within 90 days of the occurrence
of the specified event. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10, if a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of
more than one of the types of Restricted Payments described in clauses (1)–(12) above, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may order and classify, and subsequently re-order and re-classify, such Restricted Payment in any manner in compliance with this Section 4.10. 
 The
amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of such Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be paid, transferred or issued by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the
case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.10 shall be determined in accordance with the definition of Fair Market Value. No later than
the date of making any Restricted Payment or series of related Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount in excess of $10.0 million, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is

Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purpose of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding
Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of
“Investment.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time, whether pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.10 or under clause (12) of the second
paragraph of this Section 4.10, or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments,” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the
restrictive covenants set forth in this Indenture. 

  
 -65- 








 SECTION 4.11. Limitations on Affiliate Transactions. 

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, make, amend or conduct any
transaction (including making a payment to, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service), contract, agreement or understanding with or for the benefit of any Affiliate of the Issuer (an “Affiliate
Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration to or from the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $1.0 million, unless: 

(x) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate; 

(y) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, the terms of such
transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and by a majority of the members of such Board having no personal stake in such transaction, if any (and such majority or majorities, as the case may
be, determines that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in clause (x) above); and 
 (z) if such Affiliate
Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of $40.0 million, the Board of Directors of the Issuer has received a written opinion from an independent investment banking, accounting or appraisal firm of nationally recognized
standing that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary or is not materially less favorable than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction at
such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate. 
 The preceding
paragraph will not apply to: 
 (1) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.10; 

(2) any issuance of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock), or other payments, awards or grants in cash, Capital Stock
(other than Disqualified Stock) or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment or severance agreements and other compensation arrangements, options to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer, restricted stock

(5) any transaction with a joint venture or other entity which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the
Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, an equity interest in or otherwise controls such joint venture or other entity; 

  
 -66- 








 (6) the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of
the Issuer or the receipt by the Issuer of any capital contribution from its shareholders;

 (8) the payment of reasonable compensation and fees paid to,
and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers or directors of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (9) the performance
of obligations of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under the terms of any agreement to which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party as of or on the Issue Date, as these agreements may be amended, modified,
supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time; provided, however, that any future amendment, modification, supplement, extension or renewal entered into after the Issue Date will be permitted to the extent that its terms are not
materially more disadvantageous, taken as a whole, to the holders of the Notes than the terms of the agreements in effect on the Issue Date; 

(10) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the
ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are fair to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the senior management
thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 

(11) any transaction in which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a
letter from an accounting, appraisal, advisory or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or that such transaction meets the
requirements of clause (x) of the preceding paragraph; 
 (12) payments to an Affiliate in respect of the Notes or any
other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on the same basis as concurrent payments are made or offered to be made in respect thereof to non-Affiliates;

benefit of lenders or other creditors of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries; and

ordinary course of business on terms substantially similar to those contained in similar contracts entered into by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with unrelated third parties, or if neither the Issuer nor any Restricted Subsidiary
has entered into a similar contract with a third party, then on the terms no less favorable than those available from third parties on an arm’s length basis, in each case as determined in good faith by the Issuer.

 SECTION 4.12. Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Preferred
Stock. 
 The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur
any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and the Issuer will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Issuer may Incur Indebtedness and any of the Subsidiary
Guarantors may Incur Indebtedness and issue Preferred Stock if on the date thereof: 
 (x) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio
for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is at least 2.25 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of proceeds); and 

(y) no Default will have occurred or be continuing or would occur as a consequence of Incurring the Indebtedness or
transactions relating to such Incurrence.

Indebtedness: 
 (1) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor Incurred pursuant to one or more Credit
Facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greatest of (a) $335.0 million, (b) 30% of the Issuer’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined as of the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness after giving effect to
the application of the proceeds therefrom and (c) the Borrowing Base in effect under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement at the time of Incurrence, in each case outstanding at any one time; 

(2) Guarantees by the Issuer or Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may
be, Incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being Guaranteed is a Subordinated Obligation or a Guarantor Subordinated Obligation, then the related Guarantee shall be
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee to at least the same extent as the Indebtedness being Guaranteed, as the case may be; 

(3) Indebtedness of the Issuer owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owing
to and held by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than
the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an
Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Issuer or such Subsidiary, as the case may be; 
 (4) Indebtedness represented by
(a) the Notes issued on the Issue Date (including the related Subsidiary Guarantees), (b) any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in clauses (1), (2) and (4)(a)) outstanding on the Issue Date and (c) any Refinancing
Indebtedness Incurred in respect of any Indebtedness described in this clause (4) or clause (5) or Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.12; 

(5) Indebtedness of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is acquired by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or
merged into the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture and outstanding on the date on which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by or was merged into the Issuer or such Restricted

Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness Incurred (a) to provide all or any portion of the funds utilized to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such
Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was otherwise acquired by or was merged into the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or (b) otherwise in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition); provided, however, that at
the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is acquired by or was merged into the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, either (x) the Issuer would have been able to Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the first
paragraph of this Section 4.12 or (y) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or greater than immediately prior to such time, in either case after giving effect to the Incurrence of
such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (5); 
 (6) the Incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of
Indebtedness represented by Capitalized Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case Incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvements or
carrying costs of property used in the business of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, and Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (6) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount
which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (6) and then outstanding, will not exceed $30.0 million at any time outstanding; 

(7) Indebtedness Incurred in respect of (a) self-insurance obligations, bid, appeal, reimbursement, performance, surety
and similar bonds and completion guarantees provided by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business and any Guarantees or letters of credit functioning as or supporting any of the foregoing bonds or obligations and
(b) obligations represented by letters of credit for the account of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in order to provide security for workers’ compensation claims (in the case of clauses (a) and (b) other than for an
obligation for money borrowed); 
 (8) Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer or of any of the
Subsidiary Guarantors; 
 (9) any Guarantee by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that directly owns Capital Stock of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary that is recourse only to, or secured only by, such Capital Stock; 
 (10) reimbursement obligations
in respect of letters of credit; provided that the aggregate amount thereof at any time outstanding does not exceed $5.0 million and such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days after a draw on a letter of credit; and 

(11) in addition to the items referred to in clauses (1) through (10) above, Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiary
Guarantors in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (11) and then outstanding, will not exceed the greater of (x)
$35.0 million and (y) 3% of the Issuer’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined as of the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness after giving effect to the application of the proceeds therefrom, in each case at any time
outstanding. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred
pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 4.12: 

  
 -69- 








 (i) in the event an item of that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one
of the types of Indebtedness described in the first and second paragraphs of this Section 4.12, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of Incurrence, and in that connection shall be entitled to
treat a portion of such Indebtedness as having been Incurred under the first paragraph and thereafter the remainder of such Indebtedness having been Incurred under the second paragraph, and, subject to clause (ii) below may later reclassify
such item of Indebtedness and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses; 

(ii) all Indebtedness outstanding on the date of this Indenture under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement shall be deemed
Incurred on the Issue Date under clause (1) of the second paragraph of this Section 4.12; 
 (iii) Guarantees of,
or obligations in respect of letters of credit supporting, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included; 

(iv) if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility and are being treated as
Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the second paragraph above and the letters of credit relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included; 

(v) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, or Preferred Stock of a Restricted
Subsidiary, will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof; 

(vi) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.12 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting
such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.12 permitting such Indebtedness; and 

(vii) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount
of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the amortization of
debt discount or the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and unrealized losses or charges in
respect of Hedging Obligations (including those resulting from the application of FASB ASC 815) will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.12. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date
shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past
due, in the case of any other Indebtedness. 
 If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness
of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 4.12, the Issuer shall be in Default of this
Section 4.12). 

  
 -70- 








 For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the
Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the
case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause
the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so
long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.12, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the
Issuer may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if
Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such
refinancing. 
 This Indenture will not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to secured Indebtedness merely
because it is unsecured or (2) senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral. 

SECTION 4.13. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. 

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any
consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (1) pay dividends or make
any other distributions on its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating
distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock); 

(2) make any loans or advances to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans
or advances made to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or 

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary. 

The preceding provisions will not prohibit: 

(i) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to or by reason of an agreement in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date,
including, without limitation, this Indenture in effect on such date; 
 (ii) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to
a Person pursuant to or by reason of an agreement relating to any Capital Stock or Indebtedness Incurred by a Person on or before the date on which such Person was acquired by the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary (other


  
 -71- 








 
than Capital Stock or Indebtedness Incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant
to which such Person was acquired by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or in contemplation of the transaction) and outstanding on such date; provided that any such encumbrance or restriction shall not extend to any assets or property of
the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary other than the assets and property so acquired; 
 (iii) encumbrances and
restrictions contained in contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of, or from the ability of the Issuer and the Restricted
Subsidiaries to realize the value of, property or assets of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; 

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

(v) with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary, any encumbrance or restriction contained in the terms of any Indebtedness or any
agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was Incurred if: 
 (a) either (1) the encumbrance or restriction applies
only in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant in such Indebtedness or agreement or (2) the Issuer determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Issuer’s
ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, whose determination shall be conclusive; and 

(b) the encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes than is customary in
comparable financing (as determined by the Issuer); 
 (vi) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted
Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement effecting a refunding, replacement or refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clauses (i) through (v) or clause (xii) of this paragraph or this clause (vi) or
contained in any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an agreement referred to in clauses (i) through (v) or clause (xii) of this paragraph or this clause (vi);
provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such agreement taken as a whole are no less favorable in any material respect to the holders of the Notes than the
encumbrances and restrictions contained in such agreements referred to in clauses (i) through (v) or clause (xii) of this paragraph on the Issue Date or the date such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged into
a Restricted Subsidiary, whichever is applicable, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, whose determination shall be conclusive; 

  
 -72- 








 (vii) in the case of clause (3) of the first paragraph of this
Section 4.13, any encumbrance or restriction: 
 (a) that restricts in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or
transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease (including leases governing leasehold interests or farm-in agreements or farm-out agreements relating to
leasehold interests in oil and gas properties), license or similar contract, or the assignment or transfer of any such lease (including leases governing leasehold interests or farm-in agreements or farm-out agreements relating to leasehold interests in oil and gas properties), license or other contract; 

(b) contained in mortgages, pledges or other security agreements permitted under this Indenture securing Indebtedness of the
Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such encumbrances or restrictions restrict the transfer of the property subject to such mortgages, pledges or other security agreements; 

(c) pursuant to customary provisions restricting dispositions of real property interests set forth in any reciprocal easement
agreements of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (d) on cash or other deposits imposed by customers under contracts
entered into in the ordinary course of business; or 
 (e) with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or
property in operating agreements, joint venture agreements, development agreements, area of mutual interest agreements and other agreements that are customary in the Oil and Gas Business and entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

(viii) (a) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and (b) Capitalized
Lease Obligations permitted under this Indenture, in each case, that impose encumbrances or restrictions of the nature described in clause (3) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.13 on the property so acquired; 

(ix) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary (or any of its property or assets) imposed pursuant
to an agreement entered into for the direct or indirect sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary (or the property or assets that are subject to such restriction) pending the closing of
such sale or disposition; 
 (x) any customary encumbrances or restrictions imposed pursuant to any agreement of the type
described in the definition of “Permitted Business Investment”; 
 (xi) encumbrances or restrictions arising or
existing by reason of applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order; and 
 (xii) the Senior Secured Credit
Agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement as in
effect on the Issue Date, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, whose determination shall be conclusive.

 SECTION 4.14. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 4.15. Change of Control. 

If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to
Section 3.3, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the
principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of the
Notes pursuant to Section 3.3, the Issuer will send a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, stating: 

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to purchase such
Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on a record date
to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date) (the “Change of Control Payment”); 
 (2) the
repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days (or such later date as may be extended as provided below) from the date such notice is sent) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 

(3) that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing
to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the paying agent specified
in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such
Notes; provided that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
Holder, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; 

(7) that if the Issuer is redeeming less than all of the Notes, the Holders of the remaining Notes will be issued new Notes and
such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter; and 

  
 -74- 








 (8) the procedures determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Indenture, that
a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent
lawful: 
 (x) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (of at least $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000
thereafter) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 
 (y) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal
to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not properly withdrawn; and 

(z) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating
the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer. 
 The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each
Holder properly tendered and not properly withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such Notes (or, if the Notes are in global form, make such payment through the facilities of DTC), and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with
Section 2.2 hereof, the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that
each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter. 
 If the Change of Control Payment
Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no
further interest will be payable to holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. 
 The Change of Control provisions
described above will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, this Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders to require
that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. 
 The Issuer will not
be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a
Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change
of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer and the Change of Control Payment Date may be extended automatically until such
Change of Control occurs. 
 If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do
not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the
Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that
remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. 

  
 -75- 








 The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with provisions of this Indenture, or compliance with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws
and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. 

SECTION 4.16. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. 

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Disposition unless: 

(1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition
at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined as of the date of such Asset Disposition (or, if earlier, as of the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition)), of the shares and assets subject to such
Asset Disposition; 
 (2) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary,
as the case may be, from such Asset Disposition and all other Asset Dispositions since the Issue Date is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or Additional Assets, or any combination thereof; and 

(3) except as provided in the next paragraph an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is
applied, within one year from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be: 

(a) to the extent the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, elects (or is required by the terms of any
Indebtedness) to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase Indebtedness of the Issuer under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor that is secured by a Lien permitted to be Incurred under this
Indenture or Indebtedness (other than Disqualified Stock) of any Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor; provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment, redemption or purchase of Indebtedness
pursuant to this subclause (a), the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or
purchased; 
 (b) to the extent the Issuer elects, to make an offer to the applicable Holders (and to holders of Pari Passu
Notes with similar provisions requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such Pari Passu Notes with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition) to purchase Notes (and such other Pari Passu Notes) pursuant to terms and subject to the conditions
contained in this Indenture in respect of Asset Disposition Offers; or 
 (c) to invest in Additional Assets; 

  
 -76- 








 provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance
with this Section 4.16, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 

Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will be deemed to
constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Not later than the day following the date that is one year from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds
exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuer will be required to make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders and to the extent required by the terms of other Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of other Pari Passu
Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition (“Pari Passu Notes”), to purchase the maximum principal
amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Notes to which the Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount (or, in the event such Pari
Passu Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) of the Notes and Pari Passu Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser
price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Indebtedness), to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes, as applicable, in each case in denominations of at least $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter. If the aggregate principal amount of
Notes surrendered by holders thereof and other Pari Passu Notes surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Notes
in global form, the Notes will be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and
appropriate) on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Notes. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition
Offer is less than the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in this Indenture. Upon completion of such Asset Disposition Offer, the
amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 The requirement of clause (3)(c) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.16 shall
be deemed to be satisfied if a bona fide binding commitment to make the investment referred to therein is entered into by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with a Person other than an Affiliate of the Issuer within the time period
specified in the first paragraph of this Section 4.16 and such Net Available Cash is subsequently applied in accordance with such commitment within 180 days following the date such commitment is entered into. 

The Asset Disposition Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer
period is required by applicable law (the “Asset Disposition Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “Asset Disposition Purchase Date”), the
Issuer will purchase the principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Notes required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 4.16 (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been
so validly tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Notes validly tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer. 
 If the Asset Disposition
Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date,
and no further interest will be payable to holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. 
  

  
 -77- 








 On or before the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept
for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes and Pari Passu Notes or portions of Notes and Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Disposition
Offer, or if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes and Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, in each case in denominations of at least $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.16
and, in addition, the Issuer will deliver all certificates and notes required, if any, by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes. The Issuer or the paying agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five Business
Days after the termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period) send or deliver (or, if the Notes are in global form, make such payments through the facilities of DTC) to each tendering Holder or holder or lender of Pari Passu Notes, as the case
may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes or Pari Passu Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case may be, and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer will promptly issue a
new Note, and the Trustee, upon delivery of an Officers’ Certificate from the Issuer, will authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered;
provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter. In addition, the Issuer will take any and all other actions required by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Notes. Any
Note not so accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Asset Disposition Offer on the Asset Disposition Purchase Date. 

The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange
Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Indenture. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.16, the
Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. 

For the purposes of clause (2) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.16, the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(1) the assumption by the transferee of Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Obligations or Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer
or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Guarantor Subordinated Obligations or Disqualified Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor) and the release of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from all
liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition (or in lieu of such a release, the agreement of the acquirer or its parent company to indemnify and hold the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary harmless from and against any
loss, liability or cost in respect of such assumed Indebtedness; provided, however, that such indemnifying party (or its long term debt securities) shall have an Investment Grade Rating (with no indication of a negative outlook or
credit watch with negative implications, in any case, that contemplates such indemnifying party (or its long term debt securities) failing to have an Investment Grade Rating), in which case the Issuer will, without further action, be deemed to have
applied such deemed cash to Indebtedness in accordance with clause (3)(a) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.16); 

  
 -78- 








 (2) securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days after receipt thereof; 

(3) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (3), not to exceed an amount equal
to 3.0% of the Issuer’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (determined at the time of receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration), with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; and 

(4) with respect to any Asset Sale of interests in oil and gas properties by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
where the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary retains an interest in such property, any agreement by the transferee (or an Affiliate thereof) to pay all or a portion of the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s allocable share of the
costs and expenses related to the exploration, development, completion or production of such properties and activities related thereto. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 75% limitation referred to in clause (2) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.16 shall be
deemed satisfied with respect to any Asset Disposition in which the cash or Cash Equivalents portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with the foregoing provision on an
after-tax basis, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Disposition complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation. 

The requirement of clause (3)(b) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.16 above shall be deemed to be satisfied if an agreement
(including a lease, whether a capital lease or an operating lease) committing to make the acquisitions or expenditures referred to therein is entered into by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiary within the specified time period and such Net
Available Cash is subsequently applied in accordance with such agreement within six months following such agreement. 
 SECTION 4.17.
[Reserved]. 
 SECTION 4.18. Limitation on Liens. 

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any
Lien (the “Initial Lien”) other than Permitted Liens upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries), including any income or profits therefrom, whether owned on the date of this Indenture or
acquired after that date, which Lien is securing any Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Lien effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due under the Notes or, in respect of Liens on any Restricted
Subsidiary’s property or assets, any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, equally and ratably with (or senior in priority to in the case of Liens with respect to Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations, as
the case may be) the Indebtedness secured by such Lien for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured. 
 Any Lien created for the benefit
of the holders of the Notes pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien. 

  
 -79- 








 SECTION 4.19. Limitation on Lines of Business. 

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than the Oil and Gas Business, except to
the extent as would not be material to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 SECTION 4.20. Additional
Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 If any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (other
than a Foreign Subsidiary) (x) Incurs or guarantees any Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement or (y) otherwise Incurs or guarantees any other Indebtedness created or acquired by the Issuer or one or more of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $1.0 million, in each case, then the Issuer shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to become within 60 days a Subsidiary Guarantor; provided that any Restricted Subsidiary that
constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a Subsidiary Guarantor until such time as it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary. If required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such transferee or
acquired or other Restricted Subsidiary shall: 
 (1) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture on the terms set forth in this Indenture; and 

(2) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary. Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture. 

SECTION 4.21. Suspension of Covenants. 

Following the first day that (a) the Notes have achieved Investment Grade Status and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing under this Indenture, then, beginning on that day and continuing until the Reversion Date, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the following covenants (collectively, the “Suspended
Covenants”): 
 (i) Section 4.10; 

(ii) Section 4.11; 
 (iii)
Section 4.12; 
 (iv) Section 4.13; 

(v) Section 4.16; 
 (vi)
Section 4.20; and 
 (vii) clause (3) of the first paragraph of Section 5.1. 

  
 -80- 








 If at any time the Notes cease to have such Investment Grade Status or if a Default or Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reversion Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including
in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in
which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default
or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and neither the Issuer nor any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any
actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if
the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” 

On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to the first
paragraph of Section 4.12 or one of the clauses set forth in the second paragraph of Section 4.12 (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to the
Indebtedness Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred pursuant to the first and second paragraphs of Section 4.12, such Indebtedness
will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (4)(b) of the second paragraph of Section 4.12. Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as
Restricted Payments under Section 4.10 shall be made as though Section 4.10 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the
amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 4.10. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.16, on the Reversion Date, the Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions not applied in
accordance with Section 4.16 will be deemed reset at zero. In addition, any future obligation to grant further Subsidiary Guarantees shall be released. All such further obligation to grant Subsidiary Guarantees shall be reinstated upon the
Reversion Date. The Issuer will provide written notice to the Trustee of the occurrence of any Suspension Period or Reversion Date. 

During any Suspension Period, the Issuer may not designate any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this
Indenture.

 -81- 








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

Successor Issuer would be able to Incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.12 or (b) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or
greater than immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction; 
 (4) each Subsidiary Guarantor (unless it is the other
party to the transactions above, in which case clause (1) shall apply) shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations in respect of this Indenture and the Notes; and

 (5) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating

The Successor Issuer will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture; and
its predecessor Issuer, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, will be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes. 

Notwithstanding the preceding clause (3), (x) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its
properties and assets to the Issuer and the Issuer may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and (y) the Issuer may merge with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the
purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction; provided that in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that consolidates with, merges into or transfers all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer, the Issuer will not
be required to comply with the preceding clause (3). 
 In addition, the Issuer will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate with
or merge with or into, and will not permit the conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor to, any Person (other than the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor) unless: 

(1) (a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person will be a corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company

such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (d) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel each stating that such
consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture complies with this Indenture; or 
 (2) the transaction is
made in compliance with Section 4.16 and Section 12.4. 
 SECTION 5.2. Successor Corporation

the Issuer in accordance with Section 5.1, in which the Issuer is not the continuing corporation, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged or to which such conveyance, lease or transfer is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named as such. 

ARTICLE VI.

SECTION 6.1. Events of Default. 

An “Event of Default” means any of the following events: 

(1) default in any payment of interest on any Note when due, continued for 30 days; 

(2) default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional

 (4) failure by the Issuer to comply for 30
days after notice as provided below with any of its obligations under Sections 4.8, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.18, 4.19 or 4.20 above (in each case, other than a failure to purchase Notes which will constitute an Event of Default under
clause (2) above and other than a failure to comply with Section 5.1 which is covered by clause (3)); 
 (5)
failure by the Issuer to comply for 60 days after notice as provided below with its other agreements contained in this Indenture; 

(6) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or
evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted
Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, which default: 

  
 -83- 








 (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness prior to the
expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (and any extensions of any grace period) (“payment default”); or 

(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its maturity; 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which
there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $30.0 million or more; 

(7) (a) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; 

(ii) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or
answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under applicable Bankruptcy law; 
 (iii) consents to the appointment of a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of it or for all or substantially all of its property; 

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 

(v) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or 

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

(i) is for relief against the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in a proceeding in which the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiaries, that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken
together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; 
 (ii) appoints a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;
or 
 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or
any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; 
 and the order or decree remains
unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; 

  
 -84- 








 (8) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of
$30.0 million (to the extent not covered by insurance by a reputable and creditworthy insurer as to which the insurer has not disclaimed coverage), which judgments are not paid or discharged, and there shall be any period of 60 consecutive days
following entry of such final judgment or decree during which a stay of enforcement of such final judgment or decree, by reason of pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; or 

(9) any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the
latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture) or is declared
null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer and its Restricted
Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or its Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 However, a
Default under clauses (4) and (5) of this paragraph will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer and, in the case of a notice given by
the Holders, the Trustee, in writing of the Default and the Issuer does not cure such Default within the time specified in clauses (4) and (5) of this paragraph after receipt of such notice. 

SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (7) of Section 6.1) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
by notice to the Issuer, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the 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. If an Event of Default described in clause (7) of Section 6.1 occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, 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. The holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may
waive all past defaults (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any) 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 6.3. Other Remedies. 

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

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be enforced by the Trustee even if it does not possess any of the Notes
or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in
the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

  
 -85- 








 SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

At any time prior to the declaration of acceleration of the Notes, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture, except a Default or Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(1) or (2) or in respect of any provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder so affected pursuant to Section 9.2. When a Default or Event of Default is so waived, it shall be deemed
cured and shall cease to exist. 
 SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. 

Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Article VI. The Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee;
provided, however, that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction (a) that conflicts with any rule of law or this Indenture, (b) that the Trustee reasonably determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other
Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such direction is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder), or (c) that may expose the Trustee to personal liability for
which reasonable indemnity provided to the Trustee against such liability shall be deemed inadequate by the Trustee; provided, further, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not
inconsistent with such direction or this Indenture. 
 SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any
loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

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

(2) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

(3) such Holder has offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer
of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not waived
such Event of Default or otherwise given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 

  
 -86- 








 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holders or to obtain
priority or preference over such other Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any action or forbearance by a Holder prejudices the rights of any other Holders or to obtain priority
or preference over such other Holders). 
 SECTION 6.7. Right of Holders To Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the respective due dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 
 SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.1 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and,
to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum provided for by the Notes and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 SECTION
6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents, counsel, accountants and experts) and the Holders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries (or any other obligor upon the Notes), their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents, counsel, accountants and experts, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents, counsel, accountants and experts and any other amounts due the Trustee
under Section 7.7 out of the estate in any such proceeding shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties
that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding. 

  
 -87- 








 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. 

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI it shall pay out such money in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7; 

Second: to Holders for interest accrued on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to
the amounts due and payable on the Notes for interest; 
 Third: to Holders for the principal amounts (including any
premium) owing under the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for the principal (including any premium); and 

Fourth: the balance, if any, to the Issuer. 

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Issuer, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.10. 
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
by it as Trustee, a court may in its discretion require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to any suit by the Trustee, any suit by a Holder pursuant to
Section 6.7, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 
 SECTION 6.12.
Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture or any Note and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions under this Indenture, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no
such proceeding had been instituted. 
 ARTICLE VII. 

TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.1.
Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and is actually known to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and shall use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his own affairs in exercising any rights or remedies or performing any of its duties hereunder. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default: 
 (1) the Trustee need perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no

 -88- 








 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or
opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its
own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of
paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1; 
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.2, 6.4 or 6.5. 
 (d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Indenture or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (e) Every provision of this Indenture that in
any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 7.1 and Section 7.2. 
 (f) The
Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money or assets received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Assets held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other assets except to the extent required by
law. 
 SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to Section 7.1: 

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons or to have been prepared and furnished pursuant to any of the provisions of this Indenture; and the Trustee shall be under no duty to make any
investigation as to any statement contained in any such instance, but may accept the same conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statement or the correctness of such opinions. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated
in the document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may consult with counsel of its selection and may
require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both, which shall conform to Sections 11.4 and 11.5. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such advice or such
Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

  
 -89- 








 (c) The Trustee may act through attorneys, agents, custodians or nominees and
shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney, agent, custodian or nominee appointed with due care. 

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action that it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (e) The Trustee shall not be bound to make
any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make
such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, upon reasonable notice to the Issuer, to examine the books,
records, and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney and to consult with the officers and representatives of the Issuer, including the Issuer’s accountants and attorneys, and to take such memoranda from and in regard thereto
as may be desired. 
 (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by
this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which may be incurred by it in compliance with such request, order or direction. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not
be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties under this Indenture. 
 (h)
Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.8 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

(i) Other than a consent revoked in accordance with Section 9.4, any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Trustee
in good faith pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or consent of any person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is a Holder shall be conclusive and binding upon every subsequent Holder of
a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the requesting or consenting Holder’s Note. 
 (j) In no
event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 (k) The rights, privileges, protections,
immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person
employed to act hereunder. 

  
 -90- 








 SECTION 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. 

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

SECTION 7.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, and it shall not be accountable for the
Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 

Under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable in its individual capacity for the obligations evidenced by the Notes. In accepting the
trust hereby created, the Trustee acts solely as Trustee for the Holders and not in its individual capacity and all Persons, including, without limitation, the Holders and the Issuer having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Indenture
shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder for payment except as otherwise provided herein. 
 SECTION 7.5.
Notice of Default. 
 If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee,
the Trustee shall mail (or, if the Notes are in global form, in accordance with applicable DTC procedures, send electronically) to each Holder notice of the uncured Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in
the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note, including an accelerated payment, a Default in payment on the Change of Control Payment Date pursuant to a Change of Control
Offer or on the Asset Disposition Purchase Date pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer and a Default in compliance with Article V hereof, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as its Board of Directors, the
executive committee of its Board of Directors or a committee of its directors and/or Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. 

SECTION 7.6. Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

Within 60 days after May 15 of each year beginning with the first May 15 after the Issue Date and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee shall send to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA § 313(a). 
 A copy
of each report at the time it is sent to Holders shall be sent to the Issuer. 
 The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee if the Notes
become listed or de-listed on any stock exchange and the Trustee shall comply with TIA § 313(d). 

SECTION 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its ordinary services as has been agreed to in writing signed by
the Issuer and the Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture. Such expenses shall include the reasonable 

  
 -91- 








 
fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. In the event that it should become necessary for the Trustee to perform extraordinary services, the Trustee shall
be entitled to reasonable additional compensation therefor and to reimbursement for reasonable and necessary extraordinary expenses in connection therewith; provided that if such extraordinary services or extraordinary expenses are occasioned
by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee it shall not be entitled to compensation or reimbursement therefore. 
 The Issuer
and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall indemnify each of the Trustee (or any predecessor Trustee) and its agents, employees, stockholders, Affiliates and directors and officers for, and hold them each harmless against, any and all loss, liability,
damage, claim or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred by them except for such actions to the extent caused by any negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of their rights, powers or duties under this Indenture. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity. At the Trustee’s sole discretion, the Issuer or
such Subsidiary Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate and may participate in the defense; provided, however, that any settlement of a claim shall be approved in writing by the Trustee if such settlement would
result in an admission of liability by the Trustee or if such settlement would not be accompanied by a full release of the Trustee for all liability arising out of the events giving rise to such claim. Alternatively, the Trustee may at its option
have separate counsel of its own choosing and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. 
 To secure the
Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all assets or money held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except assets or
money held in trust to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on particular Notes. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(7) occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

The provisions of this Section 7.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 SECTION 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. 

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may
remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s consent by so notifying the Issuer and the Trustee. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 

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

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

  
 -92- 








 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Issuer shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may
appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have
been paid and subject to the Lien provided in Section 7.7, 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 Issuer shall send notice of such successor Trustee’s appointment to each Holder. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office
within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee, after written notice by any Holder of a Note who has been a Holder of a Note for at
least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

Notwithstanding any resignation or replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuer’s and the Subsidiary
Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.9.
Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or sells or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving
or transferee corporation or banking association is otherwise eligible under this Indenture, be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII. 

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000
as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA §§ 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b). 
 SECTION 7.11.
Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. 
 The Trustee shall comply with TIA
§ 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. The provisions of TIA § 311
shall apply to the Issuer, as obligor on the Notes. 

  
 -93- 








 SECTION 7.12. Force Majeure. 

In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture because of
circumstances beyond the Trustee’s control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental
action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Indenture. 
 SECTION 7.13.
Defaults and Events of Default. 
 The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice
of any Default, except failure of the Issuer to cause to be made any of the payments required to be made to the Trustee, unless the Trustee shall be specifically notified by a writing of such Default by the Issuer or by the Holders of at least 25%
in aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and, in the absence of such notice so delivered, the Trustee may conclusively assume no Default exists. 

ARTICLE VIII. 
 DISCHARGE OF
INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.1. Termination of Issuer’s
Obligations. 
 This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of
registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when (a) either (i) all the Notes, theretofore authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been
replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation or (ii) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise and the Issuer or
any Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for such purpose, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts
as will be sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm, 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 of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of maturity or redemption together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer directing the Trustee to
apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; (b) the Issuer has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Issuer; and (c) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; provided, however, that such counsel may rely, as to
matters of fact, on a certificate or certificates of officers of the Issuer. 
 The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have
its obligations and the corresponding obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, and satisfied all of its obligations with respect to the Notes, except for: (1) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments 

  
 -94- 








 
are due, (2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance
of an office or agency for payments, (3) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture and the Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (4) the Legal
Defeasance provisions of this Section 8.1. In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to terminate its obligations with respect to covenants contained in Sections 4.4, 4.5, 4.8 and 4.10 through 4.20 and the operation of
clauses (6), (7) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries), (8) and (9) of Section 6.1 and the limitations described in clause (3) of the first paragraph of Section 5.1 (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any
omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. The Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option. In the
event of Legal Defeasance, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. In the event of Covenant Defeasance, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in
clause (4), (5), (6), (7) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries), (8) or (9) of Section 6.1 or because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with clause (3) of the first paragraph of Section 5.1. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders cash in United States
dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm, appraisal firm or firm of
independent public accountants, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the
case may be; 
 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in
the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change
in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

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

(4) no Default or Event of Default, of which the Trustee is deemed to have notice, shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit or insofar as Events of Default under Section 6.1(7) from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under
this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound; 

 

  
 -95- 








 (6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee (x) an Officers’
Certificate stating that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Issuer or with the intent of defeating,
hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer; 
 (7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; provided,
however, that such counsel may rely, as to matters of fact, on a certificate or certificates of officers of the Issuer; and 

(8) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that after the 91st day following the
deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; provided, however, that such counsel may rely, as to
matters of fact, on a certificate or certificates of officers of the Issuer. 
 SECTION 8.2. Application of Trust
Money. 
 The Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with
it pursuant to Section 8.1, and shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender and the money from U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes. The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to invest said U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations except as it may agree in writing with the Issuer. 

The Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay jointly and severally and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.1 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of outstanding Notes. 
 SECTION 8.3. Repayment to the Issuer. 

Subject to Section 8.1, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon request any excess U.S. Legal Tender or
U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of
principal, interest or premium, if any, that remains unclaimed for one year; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any payment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published
once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such
publication or mailing any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law
designates another Person. 

  
 -96- 








 SECTION 8.4. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.1 by
reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under
this Indenture and the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender
or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.1; provided, however, that if the Issuer has made any payment of interest or premium, if any, on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

SECTION 8.5. Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee. 

After (i) the conditions of Section 8.1 have been satisfied, (ii) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable under this Indenture by the Issuer and (iii) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent referred to in clause (i) of this
Section 8.5 relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture except for (x) the
Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations in connection with the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture and (y) those surviving obligations specified in Section 7.7 and
Section 8.1; provided the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers’ Certificates of the Issuer. 

ARTICLE IX. 
 MODIFICATION OF THE
INDENTURE 
 SECTION 9.1. Without Consent of Holders. 

Without the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Notes to: 

(1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency; 

(2) provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor under
this Indenture; 
 (3) provide for uncertificated Notes of any series in addition to or in place of certificated Notes
(provided that such uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code); 

(4) add Guarantees with respect to the Notes, including Subsidiary Guarantees, or release a Subsidiary Guarantor from its
Subsidiary Guarantee and terminate such Subsidiary Guarantee; provided, however, that the release and termination is in accord with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 

(5) secure the Notes or Subsidiary Guarantees; 

  
 -97- 








 (6) add to the covenants of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit
of the Holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor; 
 (7) make any change
that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; provided, however, that any change to conform this Indenture to the “Description of the notes” section of the Offering Memorandum will not be deemed to adversely affect
such rights;

TIA; 
 (9) modify this Indenture solely for the purpose of providing for the removal of the Private Placement Legend on any

(10) provide for the succession of a successor Trustee; provided that the successor Trustee is otherwise qualified and
eligible to act as such under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders. 

Except as provided in Section 9.1 or this Section 9.2, modifications and amendments of this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary
Guarantees may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes)
and, except as provided in Section 9.1 or this Section 9.2, any past Default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including,

(4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note pursuant to Section 3.3, or change the time at which any
Note may be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.3 (except provisions relating to minimum required notice of optional redemption), or make any change to the covenants described in Section 4.15 after the occurrence of a Change of Control, or make
any change to the provisions relating to an Asset Disposition Offer that has been made, in each case whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise; 

(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, premium, if any, principal of 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; 

  
 -98- 








 (7) make any change in the amendment provisions which require each Holder’s
consent or in the waiver provisions; 
 (8) modify the Subsidiary Guarantees in any manner adverse to the holders of the
Notes; or 
 (9) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions under this Indenture relative to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the
Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified or terminated with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for the Notes) prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control. 
 The consent of the Holders is not necessary under
this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. A consent to any amendment 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. After an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Issuer is required to send to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However,
failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in such notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment. 

SECTION 9.3. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 9.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. Subject to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may
revoke the consent as to such Holder’s Note or portion of such Note by notice to the Trustee or the Issuer received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective upon receipt by the Trustee of such Officers’ Certificate and
evidence of consent by the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes. 
 The Issuer may, but shall not be
obligated to, fix a Record Date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which Record Date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a Record Date is
fixed, then notwithstanding the second sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such Record Date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously
given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such Record Date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such Record Date unless consents from Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount
of outstanding Notes required under this Indenture for the effectiveness of such consents shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90 day period. 

  
 -99- 








 SECTION 9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of such Note to deliver it to the
Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and, upon receipt of
an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. 

SECTION 9.6. Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc. 

The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX; provided, however, that the
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. In executing such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall
be entitled to receive indemnity satisfactory to it, and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer stating that no Event of Default shall occur as a result of such amendment,
supplement or waiver and that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture; provided the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more
Officers’ Certificates of the Issuer. Such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee.

 THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN

SECTION 11.9. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

this Indenture or any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of these obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of
the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes shall be given independent effect so that if any particular action or condition is
not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or
condition exists.

 ARTICLE XII. 

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE OF NOTES 

SECTION 12.1. Unconditional Subsidiary Guarantee. 

Subject to the provisions of this Article XII, each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees, on an unsecured senior basis to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes
or the obligations of the Issuer or any other Subsidiary Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be duly and punctually paid in
full when due, whether at maturity, upon redemption at the option of Holders pursuant to the provisions of the Notes relating thereto, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest,
if any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture or thereunder (including amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof) and all other obligations
shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in
full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the
Issuer to the Holders under this Indenture or under the Notes, for whatever reason, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the
Notes shall constitute an event of default under the Subsidiary Guarantees, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes to accelerate the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture in the same manner and to the same extent as the
obligations of the Issuer. 
 Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations under this Indenture shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or
thereof, any release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Subsidiary Guarantee is affixed to any particular Note, or any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations
contained in the Notes, this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or to any
Subsidiary Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, its
Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(a) subject to this Article XII, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of its Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of its Subsidiary Guarantee. 

  
 -104- 








 No stockholder, officer, director, employee, partner or incorporator, past, present or future, or
any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any personal liability under the Subsidiary Guarantees by reason of his, her or its status as such stockholder, officer, director, employee, partner or incorporator. 

SECTION 12.2. Limitations on Subsidiary Guarantees. 

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to
all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary
Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, will result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or
fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. 
 SECTION 12.3. Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee
Notation. 
 To further evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 12.1, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee, substantially in the form of Exhibit D herein, shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Such notation shall be executed on behalf of
each Subsidiary Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of one Officer of each Subsidiary Guarantor, who, in each case, shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability of any
Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that such notation is not affixed to any particular Note. 
 Each of the Subsidiary
Guarantors hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 12.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee. 

If an Officer of a Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or on a notation of a Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which such notation is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless. 

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof under this Indenture, shall constitute due delivery of any
Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 SECTION 12.4. Release of a Subsidiary
Guarantor. 
 (a) If no Default exists or would exist under this Indenture, (i) upon the sale or disposition of all
of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition in accordance with Section 4.16, or upon the consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary
Guarantor with or into any Person in compliance with Article V (in each case, other than to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary), (ii) upon the designation of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in
accordance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” (iii) in connection with any Legal Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as provided in Section 8.1 or (iv) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such
Subsidiary Guarantor 

  
 -105- 








 
in a transaction or series of related transactions that does not violate the terms of this Indenture, such Subsidiary Guarantor and each Subsidiary of such Subsidiary Guarantor that is also a
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed released from all obligations under this Article XII without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder; provided, however, that each such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold or
disposed of or designated in accordance with this Indenture. Any Subsidiary Guarantor not so released or the entity surviving such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall remain or be liable under its Subsidiary Guarantee as provided in this
Article XII. 
 (b) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing the release of a Subsidiary Guarantor upon receipt of a
request by the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section 12.4 and an Opinion of Counsel; provided the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of
Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers Certificates of the Issuer. 
 Except as set forth in Articles IV and V and
this Section 12.4, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of
the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor. 

SECTION 12.5. Waiver of Subrogation. 

Until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives
and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes or this Indenture and
such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer,
directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in
violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of Notes under the Notes, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered under or in connection with such agreements or instruments, shall not
have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit
of itself or such Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges
that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 12.5 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

SECTION 12.6. Immediate Payment. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to make immediate payment to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all obligations under the Notes and this
Indenture owing or payable to the respective Holders upon receipt of a demand for payment therefor by the Trustee to such Subsidiary Guarantor in writing. 

  
 -106- 








 SECTION 12.7. No Set-Off.

 Each payment to be made by a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture in respect of the obligations under the Notes and this Indenture
shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such obligations are denominated, and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 

SECTION 12.8. Obligations Absolute. 

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture are and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts
expressed to be owing or payable by each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture which may not be recoverable from such Subsidiary Guarantor on the basis of a Subsidiary Guarantee shall be recoverable from such Subsidiary Guarantor as a primary
obligor and principal debtor in respect thereof. 
 SECTION 12.9. Obligations Continuing. 

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all the
obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability under this Indenture and under any other
instrument or instruments in such form as counsel to the Trustee may advise and as will prevent any action brought against it in respect of any default under this Indenture being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in
the event of the failure of a Subsidiary Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of such Subsidiary Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other
instruments as may from time to time become necessary or advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture. 

SECTION 12.10. Obligations Not Reduced. 

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged solely by the payment of such
principal, premium, if any, interest, fees and other monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article VIII be or become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Notes or
this Indenture. 
 SECTION 12.11. Obligations Reinstated. 

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Issuer or by or on behalf of a Subsidiary Guarantor) is
rescinded or reclaimed from any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the
time for, payment by the Issuer is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer, all such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Subsidiary
Guarantor as provided herein. 

  
 -107- 








 SECTION 12.12. Obligations Not Affected. 

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act,
omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment under this Indenture (and whether or not known or consented to by any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of the Holders) which, but for this provision, might
constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under this Indenture or otherwise affect
such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the Holders or otherwise, including, without limitation: 
 (a) any
limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Issuer or any other person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding up or other
proceeding involving or affecting the Issuer or any other person; 
 (b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or
invalidity in respect of any Indebtedness or other obligation of the Issuer or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other document or instrument; 

(c) any failure of the Issuer, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of
this Indenture or the Notes, or to give notice thereof to a Subsidiary Guarantor; 
 (d) the taking or enforcing or
exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against the Issuer or any other person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy; 

(e) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences
to the Issuer or any other Person; 
 (f) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any
of the Notes, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Notes or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or
premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes; 
 (g) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses,
assets, capital structure or constitution of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor; 
 (h) any merger or amalgamation of the
Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor with any Person or Persons; 
 (i) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules,
regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the
Issuer’s obligations under the Notes or this Indenture or the obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee; and 

(j) any other circumstance (other than by complete, irrevocable payment), including release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor
pursuant to Section 12.4, that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes or of a Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee under this Indenture. 

  
 -108- 








 SECTION 12.13. Waiver. 

Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 12.1 hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof,
notice of any liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, notice or proof of reliance by the Holders upon the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Issuer,
protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Issuer’s obligations, under the Notes or this Indenture, or other notice or formalities to the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind
whatsoever. 
 SECTION 12.14. No Obligation To Take Action Against the Issuer. 

Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps
under any security for the Issuer’s obligations under the notes or this Indenture, or against the Issuer or any other Person or any Property of the Issuer or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by
any or all Subsidiary Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their Subsidiary Guarantees or under this Indenture. 
 SECTION
12.15. Dealing with the Issuer and Others. 
 The Holders, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise
affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and without the consent of or notice to any Subsidiary Guarantor, may: 

(a) grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the
Issuer or any other Person; 
 (b) take or abstain from taking security or collateral from the Issuer or from perfecting
security or collateral of the Issuer;

any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, for any reason or a Default in compliance with Article V of the Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in
their interest.

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