          thereof is to be made as determined on the basis of GAAP, and the Stated Maturity thereof shall be the date of the last payment of rent or any other amount due under such lease prior to the first date such lease may be terminated without penalty.

        SECTION 1.05.          Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Transactions.  i)  When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture, in each case in connection
            with any merger, acquisition or other Investment, in each case, the consummation of which is not conditioned upon the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing, where there is a time difference between commitment and closing or
            incurrence (including in respect of incurrence of Indebtedness, Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments), the date of determination of the availability of such basket or ratio and of any Default or Event of Default shall, at the option of
            the Company, be the date the definitive agreements for such merger, acquisition or other Investment are entered into (or, in case of an acquisition or other Investment in the form of a tender or exchange offer in connection with which no
            definitive agreement is entered into with the target company, the date of delivery of a binding offer, a tender offer, an irrevocable notice or a similar event) and such baskets or ratios shall be calculated on a pro forma basis after giving
            effect to such merger, acquisition or other Investment and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the
            applicable reference period for purposes of determining the ability to consummate any such transaction (and not for purposes of any subsequent availability of any basket or ratio).

         

        (b)            For the avoidance of doubt, (1) if any of such baskets or ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such basket or ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA,
            Consolidated Total Assets or the share price or share value of any Person) subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction, such baskets or ratios will be deemed not to have been exceeded
            as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the transaction is permitted under the Indenture and (2) such baskets or ratios shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such transaction or related
            transactions; provided that if the Company elects to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreement (or the date of delivery of a
            binding offer, a tender offer, an irrevocable notice or a similar event, as the case may be), any such transactions (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the
            definitive agreements are entered into (or such date of delivery of a binding offer, a tender offer, an irrevocable notice or a similar event, as the case may be) and outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any baskets or ratios
            under the Indenture after the date of such agreement (or delivery of a binding offer, a tender offer, an irrevocable notice or a similar event, as the case may be) and before the consummation of such transaction; provided further that the Consolidated Net Income (and any other financial term derived therefrom) and Consolidated Total
            Assets, other than for purposes of calculating any ratios or baskets in connection with such merger, acquisition or other Investment, shall not include any Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Total Assets of or attributable to the target
            company or assets associated with any such merger, acquisition or Investment unless and until the consummation of such merger, acquisition or Investment shall have actually occurred; and provided further that for purposes of any such calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, consolidated interest expense will be
            calculated using an assumed interest rate for the Indebtedness to be incurred in connection with any such merger, acquisition or Investment based on the indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect
            to such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith.

          The Notes

         

        SECTION 2.01.          Form and Dating.  ii)  General.  The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.  The Notes may have notations, legends or
            endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage.  Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.  The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

         

        The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the
          Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express
          provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

         

        (b)            Global Notes.  Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global
            Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto).  Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and
            without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto).  Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate
            principal amount of outstanding 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 appropriate, 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 2.06 hereof. 

        

        
          38

          
            


        

        (c)            Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable.  The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System”
            and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note
            that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

         

        SECTION 2.02.          Execution and Authentication.  At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual,
            facsimile or electronic signature.

         

        If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless
          be valid.

         

        A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of the Trustee.  The signature shall be conclusive
          evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

         

        The Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time
          may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

         

        The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes.  An authenticating agent may
          authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an
          Affiliate of the Company.

         

        SECTION 2.03.          Registrar and Paying Agent.  The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be
            presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).  The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.  The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.  The term
            “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.  The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
            name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to receive compensation for so doing. 
            The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

        
          39

          
            


        

        The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

         

        The Company initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as
          Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

         

        SECTION 2.04.          Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.  The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the entity acting as Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold
            in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making
            any such payment.  While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  Upon
            payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money.  If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund
            for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.  Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

         

        SECTION 2.05.          Holder Lists.  The 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 all Holders.  If the entity acting as Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such
            other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders.

         

        SECTION 2.06.          Transfer and Exchange.  iii)  Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.  A Global Note may not be
            transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a
            nominee of such successor Depositary.  All Global Notes shall be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:

         

        (1)            the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency
            registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

        
          40

          
            


        

        (2)            the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes; or

         

        (3)            there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and any holder of the Notes or any beneficial interest therein requests that the
            Definitive Notes be issued.

         

        Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the
          Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.  Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof.  Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or
          any portion thereof, pursuant to Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note.  A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a),
          however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) 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 Depositary, 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 transfer
            comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.  Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or
            more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

         

        (1)            Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. 
              Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the
              Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S.
              Person (other than an Initial Purchaser).  Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note.  No written orders or
              instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).

         

        (2)            All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes.  In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either:

         

        (A)            both:

        
          41

          
            


        

        (i)            a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause
            to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

         

        (ii)            instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or

         

        (B)            both:

         

        (i)            a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be
            issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

         

        (ii)            instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer
            or exchange referred to in (1) above.

         

        Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture
          and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(h) hereof.

         

        (3)            Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note.  A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the
              requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) above and the Registrar receives the following:

         

        (A)            if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B
            hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and

         

        (B)            if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of
            Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof.

         

        (4)            Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note.  A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes
              delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) above and the Registrar receives the following:

        
          42

          
            


        

        (A)            if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a
            certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or

         

        (B)            if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of
            a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (4) thereof;

         

        and, in each such case, if the Company so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably
          acceptable to the Company to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain
          compliance with the Securities Act.

         

        If any such transfer is effected at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon
          receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests
          transferred.

         

        Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the
          form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note.

         

        (c)            Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes.  1.  Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Notes to Restricted Definitive Notes.  If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a

          Section 2.06(h) hereof, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount.  Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a
          beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Registrar
          through instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.  The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.  Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a
          beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(1) shall bear the Private Placement Legend and shall be subject to all restrictions on transfer contained therein.

          44

          
            


        

        and, in each such case, if the Company so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably
          acceptable to the Company to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain
          compliance with the Securities Act.

         

        (3)            Beneficial Interests in Unrestricted Global Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes.

              pursuant to Section 2.06(h) hereof, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount.  Any Definitive Note issued
              in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(3) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions
              to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.  The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.  Any Definitive Note issued in exchange
              for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(3) shall not bear the Private Placement Legend.

         

        (d)            Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests.  2.  Restricted Definitive Notes to Beneficial Interests in

          45

          
            


        

        (D)            if such Restricted Definitive Note is being transferred pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144, a
            certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (3)(a) thereof;

        (2)            Restricted Definitive Notes to Beneficial Interests in Unrestricted Global Notes.  A Holder of a Restricted Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transfer such Restricted Definitive Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of
              a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note only if the Registrar receives the following:

         

        (A)            if the Holder of such Definitive Notes proposes to exchange such Notes for a beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of

          acceptable to the Company to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain
          compliance with the Securities Act.

         

        Upon satisfaction of the conditions of any of the subparagraphs in this Section 2.06(d)(2), the Trustee shall cancel the Definitive Notes

        (3)            Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Beneficial Interests in Unrestricted Global Notes.  A Holder of an Unrestricted Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
              beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note at any time.  Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Unrestricted Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the
              aggregate principal amount of one of the Unrestricted Global Notes.

         

        If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to subparagraphs (2) or (3) above
          at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes
          in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so transferred.

         

        (e)            Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes.  Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such
            Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(e), the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes.  Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to
            the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing.  In addition, the requesting
            Holder must provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 2.06(e).

         

        (1)            Restricted Definitive Notes to Restricted Definitive Notes. 
              Any Restricted Definitive Note may be transferred to and registered in the name of Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a Restricted Definitive Note if the Registrar receives the following:

            thereof;

         

        (B)            if the transfer will be made pursuant to Rule 903 or Rule 904, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in
            item (2) thereof; and

         

        (C)            if the transfer will be made pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the
            form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications, certificates and Opinion of Counsel required by item (3) thereof, if applicable.

        
          47

          
            


        

        (2)            Restricted Definitive Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes. 
              Any Restricted Definitive Note may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for an Unrestricted Definitive Note or transferred to a Person or Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note if the Registrar receives
              the following:

         

        (A)            if the Holder of such Restricted Definitive Notes proposes to exchange such Notes for an Unrestricted Definitive Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit C
            hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(d) thereof; or

         

        (B)            if the Holder of such Restricted Definitive Notes proposes to transfer such Notes to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note, a
            certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (4) thereof;

         

        and, in each such case, if the Company so requests, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that
          such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

         

        (3)            Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes. 
              A Holder of Unrestricted Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note.  Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the
              Unrestricted Definitive Notes pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

         

        (f)            [Reserved].

        (B)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive Note issued pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(4), (c)(2), (c)(3), (d)(2), (d)(3), (e)(2) or (e)(3) of this
            Section 2.06 (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall not bear the Private Placement Legend.

        (2)            Global Note Legend.  Each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

         

        “THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT
          OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE

          THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.

        (h)            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 Custodian at the direction of the Trustee to reflect
            such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly
            and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

        (i)            General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.  (2)  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and
            Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.

         

        (2)            No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the
            Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer
            pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof).

         

        (3)            The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note
            being redeemed in part.

         

        (4)            All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company,
            evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

         

        (5)            Neither the Registrar nor the Company shall 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 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

         

        (B)            to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

         

        (C)            to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

         

        (6)            Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is
            registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the
            contrary.

        
          51

          
            


        

        (7)            The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

         

        (8)            All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar or the Company pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of
            transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

         

        SECTION 2.07.          Replacement Notes.  If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
            Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met.  If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied
            by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Company may charge
            for its expenses in replacing a Note.

         

        Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally
          and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

         

        SECTION 2.08.          Outstanding Notes.  The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation,
            those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee or Custodian in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.  Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note
            does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof.

         

        If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
          that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code).

         

        If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases
          to accrue.

         

        If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date,
          money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

        
          52

          
            


        

        SECTION 2.09.          Treasury Notes.  In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or
            any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
            determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

         

        SECTION 2.10.          Temporary Notes.  Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
            authenticate temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
            Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

         

        Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

         

        SECTION 2.11.          Cancellation.  The Company 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 registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
            payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act).  Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes shall be delivered to the Company.  The Company
            may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

         

        SECTION 2.12.          Defaulted Interest.  If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall
            pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in
            Section 4.01 hereof.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment.  The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special
            record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.  At least
            15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record
            date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

         

        SECTION 2.13.          Issuance of Additional Notes.  After the Issue Date, the Company shall be entitled, subject to its
            compliance with Section 2.02 and Section 4.09, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture, which Notes shall have the same terms (other than price, date of issuance and the date from which interest will accrue) as the Initial Notes.  All
            the Notes under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that, if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number.

        SECTION 3.01.          Notices to Trustee.  If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but
            not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth:

         

        (1)            the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

         

        (2)            the redemption date;

         

        (3)            the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and

         

        (4)            the redemption price.

         

        SECTION 3.02.          Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.  If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at
            any time, the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot, or by such other method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, unless
            otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements.

         

        In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless
          otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

         

        The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note
          selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased.  Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the
          Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called
          for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

        
          54

          
            


        

        SECTION 3.03.          Notice of Redemption.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more
            than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company or, at the instruction and in the name of the Company, the Trustee (upon at least five Business Days’ advance notice) shall send or cause to be sent, by first class mail (or transmitted
            otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption
            date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof.

         

        The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

         

        (1)            the redemption date;

         

        (2)            the redemption price;

         

        (3)            if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new
            Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

         

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

         

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

         

        (6)            that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

         

        (7)            the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;

         

        (8)            that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and

         

        (9)            if the notice of redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent as provided in Section 3.07, a statement to that effect and a description of such condition or
            conditions.

         

        At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 30 days prior to the
          redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

        
          55

          
            


        

        SECTION 3.04.          Effect of Notice of Redemption.  Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03
            hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price.

         

        SECTION 3.05.          Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.  One Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase date,
            the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent
            shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed
            or purchased.

         

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

         

        SECTION 3.06.          Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.  Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part,
            the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note
            surrendered.

         

        SECTION 3.07.          Optional Redemption.  iv)  At any time prior to November 1, 2023, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem
            up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes) issued under this Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 107.000% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
            to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), in an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity
            Offerings; provided that:

         

        (1)            at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes  (including Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes
            held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and

        
          56

          
            


        

        (2)            the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

         

        (b)            At any time prior to November 1, 2023, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice (with a copy to
            the Trustee), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the rights of
            Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

         

        (c)            Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Notes shall not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to November 1, 2023.

         

        (d)            On or after November 1, 2023 the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to
            the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee), at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the rights of
            Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 1 of each of the years indicated below:

                %

              


        

        

        Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof
          called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

         

        Notice of any redemption of, or any offer to purchase, the Notes may, at the Company’s discretion, be given in connection with an Equity
          Offering or other transaction or event and prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof, and any such redemption or purchase may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion or occurrence
          of the related Equity Offering or other transaction event. In addition, if such redemption or purchase is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall
          state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date or purchase date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption or offer to purchase was mailed or delivered, including by
          electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption or repurchase 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 redemption date or purchase date or by the redemption date or purchase date as so delayed, or such notice or offer may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice or offer
          that payment of the redemption or purchase price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption or offer to purchase may be performed by another Person.

        
          57

          
            


        

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

         

        SECTION 3.08.          Mandatory Redemption; Offers to Purchase; Open Market Purchases.  Except pursuant to Section 4.10 and
            Section 4.15, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments or offers to purchase the Notes.  The Company or any Subsidiary of the Company may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes for
            cancellation in the open market, pursuant to negotiated transactions or otherwise.

         

        SECTION 3.09.          Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.  In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company is required to commence an  offer to all Holders to
            purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified below.

         

        The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets.  The Asset
          Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”).  No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall
          apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other pari
            passu Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

         

        If the Purchase Date is on or after a record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest
          shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no other interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

         

        Within five Business Days after the Company is obligated to make an Asset Sale Offer as described in Section 4.10, the Company shall send
          a written notice, by first class mail, to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee.  The notice shall be accompanied by such information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Company in good faith believes will enable such Holders to
          make an informed decision with respect to such Asset Sale Offer, including all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.  The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset
          Sale Offer, shall state:

        
          58

          
            


        

        (1)            that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open;

         

        (2)            the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

         

        (3)            that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

         

        (4)            that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

         

        (5)            that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000
            in excess thereof;

         

        (6)            that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect
            Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

         

        (7)            that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the
            Offer Period, a telegram, facsimile or electronic transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to
            have such Note purchased;

         

        (8)            that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness
            tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to applicable DTC procedures with respect to the Global Notes), based
            on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed, and thereafter the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (or in
            the manner described in Section 3.02), based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed (with, in each case, such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company or the Trustee, as applicable, so that only Notes in
            denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and

        
          59

          
            


        

        (9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of
          the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

         

        On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes
          tendered, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the
          terms of this Section 3.09.  The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the
          purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, shall authenticate and mail or deliver (or
          cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.  Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder
          thereof.  The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

         

        ARTICLE 4

          

          Covenants

         

        SECTION 4.01.          Payment of Notes.  The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium on, if any, and
            interest on, if any, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes.  Principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary
            thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due.  If an interest
            payment date, redemption date, the maturity date or any other due date for any payment in respect of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business
            Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.

         

        The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at a
          rate that is 1% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any
          (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same rate to the extent lawful.

        
          60

          
            


        

        SECTION 4.02.          Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Company shall maintain in the contiguous United States an office
            or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
            respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.  If at any time the Company fails to maintain any
            such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

         

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

         

        The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with
          Section 2.03 hereof.

         

        SECTION 4.03.          Reports.  v)  Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are
            outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Holders and to the Trustee (or file with the SEC for public availability), within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (after giving effect to any extensions available under
            the rules and regulations of the SEC) based on the Company’s then-current filer status within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (if the Company is then required by the SEC’s rules and regulations to file such reports) or, if the
            Company is not then required by the SEC’s rules and regulations to file such reports, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations applicable to non-accelerated filers:

         

        (1)            all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such reports, including a
            “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Company’s certified independent accountants; and

         

        (2)            all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.

        
          61

          
            


        

        All such reports shall be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such
          reports.  In addition, the Company shall file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified above (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and
          shall post the reports on its website within those time periods.

         

        If, at any time, the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company
          shall nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4.03(a) with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing.  The Company shall not take any action
          for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company shall post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its
          website within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC.

         

        (b)            If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.03(a) above shall include a
            reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results
            of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company.

         

        The availability of the foregoing materials on the SEC’s EDGAR service (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to satisfy the
          Company’s delivery obligation hereunder.

         

        (c)            For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with the SEC the reports required by Section 4.03(a) and 4.03(b) above, the Company and the Guarantors
            shall furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

         

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

         

        SECTION 4.04.          Compliance Certificate.  vi)  The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of
            each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the Officer signing such Certificate
            with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the
            Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or
            Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge
            no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what
            action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

        
          62

          
            


        

        (b)            So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate
            specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

         

        SECTION 4.05.          Taxes.  The Company shall pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency,
            all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

         

        SECTION 4.06.          Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.  The Company and each of the 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, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may
            affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not,
            by resort to any such law, 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 has been enacted.

         

        SECTION 4.07.          Restricted Payments.  vii)  The Company shall not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
            Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

         

        (1)            declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without
            limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in
            their capacity as such (other than (a) dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company and (b) dividends or distributions payable to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary);

        
          63

          
            


        

        (2)            purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any Equity
            Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company held by Persons other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

         

        (3)            make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is
            contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or to any Note Guarantee (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except a payment, repurchase, redemption,
            defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of such subordinated Indebtedness in connection with a payment of interest, a payment of a principal installment, a payment of principal at the Stated Maturity thereof or a sinking fund obligation,
            in each case due within one year of the date of such payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement; or

         

        (4)            make any Restricted Investment

         

        (all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”),

         

        unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

         

        (A)            no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

         

        (B)            the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the
            applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof; and

         

        (C)            such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of this
            Indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (1) (provided that at the time of declaring such dividend, such dividend was counted as a Restricted Payment), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (10), (11), (12) and (13) of
            Section 4.07(b) hereof), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

        
          64

          
            


        

        (i)            50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from July 1, 2021 to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal
            quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit); plus

         

        (ii)            100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds or Fair Market Value of property other than cash received by the Company since the date of this Indenture as a contribution to its
            common equity capital (other than Excluded Contributions) or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock and Excluded Contributions) of the Company or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable
            Disqualified Stock of the Company or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Company, in each case that have been converted into or exchanged for Equity Interests of the Company (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or
            debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Company and Excluded Contributions); plus

         

        (iii)            without duplication, (i) 100% of the aggregate amount received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in cash and the Fair Market Value of property other than cash
            received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from (A) the sale or other disposition (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) of Restricted Investments made by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of
            this Indenture and from repurchases and redemptions of such Restricted Investments from the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries by any Person (other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) and from repayments of loans or advances,
            and releases of guarantees, which constituted Restricted Investments, (B) the sale or other disposition (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the Capital Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and (C) a distribution or
            dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period and (ii) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was
            made after the date of the indenture is made in an entity that subsequently becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, the Fair Market Value of such Restricted Investment as of the date such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (or, if
            less, the amount of the Restricted Investment initially made); plus

        
          65

          
            


        

        (iv)            to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company designated as such after the date of this Indenture is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged or
            consolidated with or into, or transfers or conveys its assets to or is liquidated into, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case after the date of this Indenture, the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Restricted Investment in such
            Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation, merger or consolidation (or of the assets so transferred or conveyed, as applicable) after deducting any Indebtedness associated with the Unrestricted Subsidiary so designated or any Indebtedness
            associated with the assets so transferred or conveyed; plus

         

        (v)            $50.0 million.

         

        (b)            The provisions of Section 4.07(a) hereof shall not prohibit:

         

        (1)            the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of the redemption notice,
            as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

         

        (2)            the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of or with the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company)
            of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to the Company; provided
            that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment shall be excluded from Section 4.07(a)(C)(ii) of the preceding paragraph and shall be excluded from the net cash proceeds from an Equity Offering
            for purposes of Section 3.07 of this Indenture;

         

        (3)            the payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any Person other than a corporation, any similar distribution) by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its
            Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

         

        (4)            the payment, prepayment, refinancing, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is
            contractually subordinated to the Notes or to any Note Guarantee in exchange for or with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

         

        (5)            the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company held by any future,
            current or former officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders’ agreement, management equity plan or any other
            management or employee benefit plan or other similar agreement or arrangement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or
            retired Equity Interests may not exceed $5.0 million in any calendar year, with unused amounts in any calendar year being permitted to be carried over to the next succeeding calendar year (but not to any subsequent calendar year) (in each case
            plus the amount of net cash and proceeds received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries from the issuance of Equity Interests by the Company to officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to the
            extent that those amounts did not provide the basis for any previous Restricted Payment);

        
          66

          
            


        

        (6)            the repurchase of Equity Interests (i) deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities to the extent such Equity
            Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock options, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities or (ii) in connection with a gross-up for tax withholding related to Equity Interests referred to in clause
            (i);

         

        (7)             the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Company or any Preferred Stock of any
            Restricted Subsidiary of the Company issued on or after the date of this Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof;

         

        (8)            payments of cash, dividends, distributions, advances or other Restricted Payments by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to allow the payment of cash in lieu of
            the issuance of fractional shares upon (i) the exercise of options or warrants or (ii) the conversion or exchange of Capital Stock of any such Person;

         

        (9)            so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Restricted Payment; provided
            that on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the Company’s Debt-to-Equity Ratio would have been no more than 1.5 to 1.00 (determined on a pro forma basis);

         

        (10)            Restricted Payments that are made with (or in an aggregate amount that does not exceed the aggregate amount of) Excluded Contributions;

         

        (11)            the distribution, as a dividend or otherwise, of shares of Capital Stock of, or Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary by, Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

         

        (12)            so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $40.0 million and 4.0%
            Consolidated Total Assets of the Company since the date of this Indenture; and

        
          67

          
            


        

        (13)            so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated
            Indebtedness pursuant to provisions similar to those described in Section 4.10 or Section 4.15 hereof; provided that all Notes tendered by Holders in connection with a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, as applicable, have been
            repurchased, redeemed or acquired for value.

         

        (c)            The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued
            by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.  For purposes of this Section 4.07, if a particular Restricted Payment involves a non-cash payment, including a distribution of assets, then
            such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the cash portion of such Restricted Payment, if any, plus an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the non-cash portion of such Restricted Payment.  For purposes of determining
            compliance with this Section 4.07, if a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the exceptions described in clauses (1) through (13) of Section 4.07(b), or is entitled to be made according to paragraph (a) of this
            Section 4.07, or in the event that any Permitted Investment meets the criteria of more than one of the clauses of such term, the Company may, in its sole discretion, classify (and later reclassify) the Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment
            (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.07.  If any Investment is made, which Investment constitutes a Restricted Investment when made, and thereafter becomes a Permitted Investment in accordance with this
            Indenture, such Investment shall no longer be counted as a Restricted Investment for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 4.07(a)(C) to the extent such Investment would otherwise be so counted.

         

        SECTION 4.08.          Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.  viii)  The Company shall
            not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

         

        (1)            pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or with respect to any other interest or participation
            in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

         

        (2)            make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

        
          68

          
            


        

        (3)            sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

         

        (b)            The restrictions in Section 4.08(a) hereof shall not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

         

        (1)            any agreement in existence on the date of this Indenture, including agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and Credit Facilities as in effect on the date of this
            Indenture;

         

        (2)            this Indenture, the Notes and the related Note Guarantees;

         

        (3)            agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 hereof;

         

        (4)            applicable law, rule, regulation or order, or any requirement of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their
            businesses, including any such law, rule, regulation, order or requirement applicable in connection with a Restricted Subsidiary’s status as an Insurance Subsidiary;

         

        (5)            any instrument or agreement governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or merged with or into a
            Restricted Subsidiary as in effect at the time of such acquisition or merger (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition or merger), which encumbrance or
            restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired or merged; provided
            that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

         

        (6)            customary non-assignment provisions and provisions restricting sub-letting or sub-licensing in contracts, leases, sub-leases, licenses and sub-licenses entered into in the
            ordinary course of business;

         

        (7)            purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and mortgage financings and Capital Lease Obligations permitted under this Indenture, in
            each case, that impose encumbrances or restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in Section 4.08(a)(3) hereof;

         

        (8)            any restriction imposed under an agreement for the sale or other disposition of assets, including without limitation a Restricted Subsidiary, that restricts distributions by
            that Restricted Subsidiary pending such sale or other disposition;

        
          69

          
            


        

        (9)            Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements
            governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced (as determined in good faith by the Company);

         

        (10)            Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

         

        (11)            provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements
            and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment) in the ordinary course of business, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements

         

        (12)            any agreement or other instrument of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges with or into a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on or after the date of this
            Indenture, which is in existence at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, but not created in connection with or in anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, and which is not applicable to any Person or the
            property or assets of any Person other than such Person or the property or assets of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary;

         

        (13)            restrictions on cash, Cash Equivalents or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

         

        (14)            the requirements of any Permitted Securitization that are exclusively applicable to any bankruptcy remote Special Purpose Subsidiary formed in connection therewith;

         

        (15)            the requirements of any Standard Securitization Undertakings;

         

        (16)            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 property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the ability of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to realize such value, or to make any distributions relating to such
            property or assets in each case in any material respect; and

         

        (17)            any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (1), (2) or (3) in Section 4.08(a) above imposed by any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals,
            supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (16) above, provided that such
            amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company, not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other
            payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

        
          70

          
            


        

        (c)            Nothing contained in this Section 4.08 shall prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from (i) creating, incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any Liens otherwise permitted pursuant
            to Section 4.12 hereof, or (ii) restricting the sale or other disposition of property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that secure Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurred in
            accordance with this Indenture.

         

        (d)            For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.08, (1) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to distributions or liquidating
            distributions being paid on common equity shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Equity Interests and (2) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to other
            Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.

         

        SECTION 4.09.          Incurrence of Indebtedness.  ix)  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
            Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt); provided, however,

            that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which
            internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net
            proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

         

        (b)            The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

         

        (1)            the incurrence by the Company and any Guarantor of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities (including letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances issued or created under any Credit
            Facility) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) not to exceed the greater of (a) $785.0 million and (b) 85% of the net book value of the loans receivable of the Company and the Guarantors, determined

            faith by the Company) to any acquisitions or dispositions that have occurred or are expected to occur at or prior to the date of incurrence of such Indebtedness plus in the case of any refinancing of any Indebtedness permitted under this clause
            (1) or any portion thereof, the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing;

        
          71

          
            


        

        (2)            the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;

         

        (3)            the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the date of this Indenture;

         

        (4)            the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital 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 lease, rental, design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the
            Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or Indebtedness otherwise incurred to finance the purchase, lease, rental or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property (real or personal) or equipment that is used or
            useful in the business of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether through the direct purchase of assets or other Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing
            Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed the greater of $30.0 million and 3.0% of Consolidated Total Assets of the Company at any time
            outstanding;

         

        (5)            the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew,
            refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) hereof or clauses (2), (3) or (15) of this Section 4.09(b) or
            this clause (5);

         

        (6)            the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Special Purpose Subsidiary) of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any

            if:

         

        (A)            (1) the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness,

        
          72

          
            


        

        (2)            the payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, and

         

        (3)            such Indebtedness does not constitute a Permitted Investment under clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Investments, then such Indebtedness must be unsecured and
            expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and

         

        (B)            (1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any Indebtedness incurred under this clause (6) being held by a Person other than the Company or a
            Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and

         

        (2)            any sale or other transfer of any Indebtedness incurred under this clause (6) to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,

         

        shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case
          may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

         

        (7)            the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculation;

         

        (8)            the Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Special Purpose Subsidiary) of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a
            Special Purpose Subsidiary) of the Company, to the extent that the guaranteed Indebtedness was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided
            that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee must be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

         

        (9)            the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, health or

            course of business;

         

        (10)            the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or
            similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within ten Business Days;

        
          73

          
            


        

        (11)            the incurrence by Foreign Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding pursuant to this clause (11), including all Permitted
            Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (11), not to exceed the greater of $15.0 million and 1.5% of aggregate Consolidated Total Assets (or
            the equivalent thereof, measured at the time of each incurrence, in the applicable foreign currency) of the Foreign Subsidiaries;

         

        (12)            the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of endorsements of negotiable instruments and in respect of Treasury Management
            Arrangements, in each case in the ordinary course of business;

            capital adjustments, purchase price adjustments, non-competes, consulting, deferred compensation, earn-out obligations, contingent consideration, contributions and similar obligations incurred or assumed in connection with any Permitted
            Investment or disposition of any business, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business for the purpose of financing such Permitted Investment, in each case in accordance with the
            terms of this Indenture;

         

        (15)            Indebtedness of (a) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred to finance an acquisition or (b) any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (or of any Person not
            previously a Restricted Subsidiary that is merged or consolidated with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) after the date hereof as a result of an Investment permitted hereunder and all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness thereof;
            provided that, in each case of the preceding clauses (a) and (b), after giving effect to such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary (or to such acquisition, merger or consolidation), either (i) the Company would be permitted to incur at least
            $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in clause (a) of this Section 4.09 or (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company would be no less than immediately prior to such acquisition,
            merger or consolidation;

         

        (16)            Non-Recourse Securitization Debt incurred by a Special Purpose Subsidiary under a Permitted Securitization and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto that
            is Non-Recourse Securitization Debt; or

        
          74

          
            


        

        (17)            the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time
            outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (17), not to exceed the greater of $35.0 million and 3.5% of
            Consolidated Total Assets of the Company.

         

        The Company shall not incur, and shall not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is
          contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on
          substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be
          contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.

         

        For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than
          one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (15) and (17) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Company shall be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of
          its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09.  Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated
          under this Indenture (after giving effect to the application of the proceeds therefrom) shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt and shall not be
          permitted to be later reclassified and any future Indebtedness secured by a Lien and incurred in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt shall not be permitted to be later reclassified as incurred
          pursuant to Section 4.09(a) above  Letters of credit shall be deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder.  The accrual of interest or Preferred Stock
          dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of
          this Section 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued.  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 utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in
          effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be
          deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

         

        The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be:

        
          75

          
            


        

        (1)            the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

         

        (2)            in the case of Hedging Obligations, the termination value of the agreement or arrangement giving rise to such obligations that would be payable by such Person at such time;

         

        (3)            the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

         

        (4)            in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

         

        (A)            the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

         

        (B)            the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

         

        SECTION 4.10.          Asset Sales.  x)  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make an Asset Sale unless:

         

        (1)            the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the
            definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

         

        (2)            at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiaries is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.  For purposes of this
            clause (2) (and not for purposes of determining the Net Proceeds received from the Asset Sale), each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

         

        (A)            any liabilities (as shown on the face of the Company’s or Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet), of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than
            contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases the
            Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies against further liability with respect thereto;

         

        (B)            any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 180 days of such Asset Sale, subject
            to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;

        
          76

          
            


        

        (C)            any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of Section 4.10(b) hereof;

         

        (D)            consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) received after the Issue Date from Persons who are
            not the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary such that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary no longer owes such Indebtedness to any Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; and

         

        (E)            any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all
            other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (E) that has not previously been converted to cash not to exceed the greater of $25.0 million and 2.5% of Consolidated Total Assets of the Company at the time of receipt of
            such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

         

        (b)            Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale (a binding commitment entered into within such 365 day period shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net
            Proceeds so long as such Net Proceeds shall be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of the date of such commitment), the Company or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries may apply an amount equal to the amount of such Net
            Proceeds:

         

        (1)            to repay Indebtedness and other Obligations under a Credit Facility or any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary secured by a Lien permitted under
            this Indenture and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

         

        (2)            to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Person, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Person is
            or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

         

        (3)            to the making of capital expenditures;

         

        (4)            to acquire other assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business (including for the avoidance of doubt, consumer loan receivables; it being agreed that the Company or a
            Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to acquire a consumer loan receivable if the Company or Restricted Subsidiary (i) makes a new loan or (ii) acquires an outstanding loan) or that replace the assets that are subject to this Section 4.10;

        
          77

          
            


        

        (5)            with respect to Asset Sales of assets of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor, to permanently reduce Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the
            Company that is not a Guarantor (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company;

         

        (6)            to repay the Notes (and may elect to repay any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than the Notes, that ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Notes or any Note Guarantee (“Pari Passu Debt”)); provided that, if the Company or
            such Restricted Subsidiary shall so repay any Pari Passu Debt, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall repay the Notes on a pro rata basis by, at its
            option (i) redeeming the Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, (ii) purchasing Notes through open-market purchases, at a price equal to (or higher than) 100% of the principal amount thereof or (iii) making an offer (in accordance with
            the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all holders of the Notes to purchase their Notes on a pro rata basis with such other Pari Passu
            Debt for no less than 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the date of repurchase; or

         

        (7)            a combination of repayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6).

         

        (c)            Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce revolving credit Indebtedness or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in
            any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

         

        (d)            Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested (by election or as a result of the passage of time) as provided clause (b) of this Section 4.10 shall be deemed to constitute
            “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, within 30 days thereof, the Company shall, in accordance with the procedures set
            forth in Section 3.09, make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions
            similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be
            purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds.  The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase,
            prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and shall be payable in cash.  If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset
            Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes and such other pari passu
            Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to applicable DTC procedures with respect to the Global Notes), based on the amounts tendered or
            required to be prepaid or redeemed, and thereafter the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (or in the manner described in
            Section 3.02), based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed (with, in each case, such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company or the Trustee, as applicable, so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000,
            or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

        
          78

          
            


        

        (e)            The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
            applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10 , the Company shall comply with
            the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 or by virtue of such compliance.

         

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the provisions under this Indenture relative to the Company’s obligation to
          make an Asset Sale Offer may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the
          Notes).

         

        SECTION 4.11.          Transactions with Affiliates.  xi)  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
            Subsidiaries to, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement,
            understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or
            consideration in excess of $7.5 million unless:

         

        (1)            the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary (as determined in good faith by the Board of
            Directors of the Company) than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

         

        (2)            the Company delivers to the Trustee, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $15.0
            million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 4.11(a) and that such Affiliate Transaction has been
            approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

        
          79

          
            


        

        (b)            The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof:

         

        (1)            any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement, severance arrangement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or
            any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;

         

        (2)            transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

         

        (3)            transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or through a
            Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

         

        (4)            payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of
            the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

         

        (5)            any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to Affiliates of the Company;

         

        (6)            Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 4.07 hereof and Permitted Investments;

         

        (7)            payments to an Affiliate in respect of the Notes or any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary on the same basis as concurrent payments made or offered
            to be made in respect thereof to non-Affiliates;

         

        (8)            issuance or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and the granting of registration and other
            customary rights in connection therewith;

         

        (9)            the transfer of Receivables, related rights and assets in connection with any Permitted Securitization and any other transaction effected in the ordinary course as part of a
            Permitted Securitization;

         

        (10)            any agreement as in effect as of the date of this Indenture or any amendment thereto or renewal, extension, restatement or replacement thereof (so long as any such agreement
            together with all amendments thereto and renewals, extensions, restatements and replacements thereof, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Holders or the Company in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect
            on the date of this Indenture) or any transaction contemplated thereby as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company;

        
          80

          
            


        

        (11)            transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee an opinion (a) as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted
            Subsidiary of such transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing or (b) that such transaction meets the requirements of Section 4.11(a)(1) above;

         

        (12)            the issuances of securities or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, the funding of, or the making of payments pursuant to,
            employment, consulting and service agreements and arrangements, stock option and stock ownership plans, long-term incentive plans or similar employee or director benefit plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; and

         

        (13)            any transaction between a Special Purpose Subsidiary and any Person that is an Affiliate of such Special Purpose Subsidiary solely because such Special Purpose Subsidiary
            directly or indirectly owns Equity Interests in, or controls, such Affiliate.

         

        SECTION 4.12.          Liens.  xii) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
            directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, unless the Notes or, in the case of any asset
            of any Guarantor now owned or hereafter acquired, the Note Guarantees of such Guarantor, are equally and ratably secured (except that Liens securing Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to the Notes shall be expressly subordinate to
            any Lien securing the Notes to at least the same extent that such Indebtedness is subordinate to the Notes), in each case for so long as such Indebtedness is secured by a Lien.

         

        (b)            Any Lien that is granted to secure the Notes or any Note Guarantee under Section 4.12(a) above shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release
            of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the notes or such Note Guarantee.

         

        SECTION 4.13.          Business Activities.  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
            to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

        
          81

          
            


        

        SECTION 4.14.          Corporate Existence.  Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

         

        (1)            its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same
            may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; and

         

        (2)            the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided,
            however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its
            Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not
            adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

         

        SECTION 4.15.          Repurchase at the Option of Holders on a Change of Control.  xiii)  If a Change of Control occurs,
            except to the extent the Company has previously or concurrently mailed or sent a redemption notice with respect to all of the outstanding Notes as described in Section 3.07, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase
            all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer on the terms described below (a “Change of Control
                Offer”).  In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the date of purchase
            (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.  Within 30
            days following any Change of Control, except to the extent the Company has previously or concurrently mailed or sent a redemption notice with respect to all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, the Company shall mail a
            notice to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:

         

        (1)            that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered shall be accepted for payment;

         

        (2)            the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

         

        (3)            that any Note not tendered shall continue to accrue interest;

         

        (4)            that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue
            interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

        
          82

          
            


        

        (5)            that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to
            Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent 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 shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of
            Control Payment Date, a telegram, facsimile or electronic transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have
            the Notes purchased; and

         

        (7)            that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which
            unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

         

        (b)            On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

         

        (1)            accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

         

        (2)            deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and

         

        (3)            deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of
            Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

         

        (c)            The Paying Agent shall promptly make payment, in accordance with depositary requirements to each Holder properly tendered, the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall
            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 shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on
            or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

         

        (d)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) 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 Section 4.15 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of
            redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

        
          83

          
            


        

        (e)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control,
            if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

         

        (f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, including a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, in the event that Holders of not less than 90% in
            aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes accept such tender offer and the Company (or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Company) purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Company shall have the
            right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Trustee), given not more than 30 days following the date of such repurchase, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such repurchase at a
            redemption price equal to the price offered to each other holder in such tender offer plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but not including, the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the
            relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

         

        (g)            The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
            applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.15, the Company shall comply with the applicable
            securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance.

         

        (h)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the provisions under this Indenture relative to the Company’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer may be waived or modified
            with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).

         

        SECTION 4.16.          [Reserved].

         

        SECTION 4.17.          [Reserved].

         

        SECTION 4.18.          Additional Note Guarantees.  If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates
            another Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture and such Domestic Subsidiary becomes a guarantor of any Indebtedness under a Credit Facility (including the Credit Agreement) or of any Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Company or
            any Guarantor, then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within 10 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired
            or created to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by that Domestic Subsidiary and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of that Domestic Subsidiary, enforceable in accordance with its
            terms (subject to customary exceptions).  The form of such supplemental indenture is attached as Exhibit D hereto.

        
          84

          
            


        

        SECTION 4.19.          Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.  The Board of Directors of the Company may
            designate any Restricted Subsidiary (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary or Person that becomes a Subsidiary through merger or consolidation or Investment therein) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would
            not cause a Default.  If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an
            Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or under one or more clauses of the definition of
            Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company.  That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.  The
            Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

         

        Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee
          a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof.  If, at
          any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and 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 Section 4.09 hereof, the Company shall be in default of such covenant.  The Board of
          Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the
          Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of
          Default would be in existence following such designation.

         

        SECTION 4.20.           Suspension of Certain Covenants.  (a) During any period of time following the Issue Date that (i) the
            Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from two of three Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section
            4.20(a) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09,
            4.10, 4.11, 4.18 and 5.01(a)(4) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

        
          85

          
            


        

        (b)            Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event (the date of such occurrence, the “Suspension Date”), the amount of
            Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be set at zero. In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing Section 4.20(a), and on any
            subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) the Notes do not have an Investment Grade Rating from two of three Ratings Agencies, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries
            shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this Section 4.20 as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under the Indenture, the Notes or the Note
            Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants, and none of the Company or 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, as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events
            that occurred during the Suspension Period).

         

        (c)            The Company shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee indicating the occurrence of any Suspension Date or Reversion Date. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently
            determine or verify if such events have occurred or notify the holders of any Suspension Date or Reversion Date. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officer’s Certificate to any holder upon request.

         

        (d)            On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that they are
            classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(2). On the Reversion Date, all Liens created, incurred or assumed during the Suspension Period in compliance with the Indenture shall be deemed to have been outstanding on
            the Issue Date, so that they are classified as permitted under clause (9) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.” Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 shall be
            made as though the covenant described under Section 4.07 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period, but with the actions taken by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period having
            no effect on such calculation. No Subsidiaries shall be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during any Suspension Period. Any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any
            Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 4.11(b)(10). Any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to take any action described in Sections 4.08(a)(1) through
            (3) that becomes effective during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 4.08(b)(1).

          Successors

         

        SECTION 5.01.          Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.  (a) The Company shall not, directly or indirectly: (1)

            and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

         

        (1)            either:

         

        (A)            the Company is the surviving corporation; or

         

        (B)            the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other
            disposition has been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and, if such entity is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation
            organized or existing under any such laws;

         

        (2)            the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or
            other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture;

         

        (3)            immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;

         

        (4)            the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease
            or other disposition has been made would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (i) be

            immediately prior to such transaction; and

        
          87

          
            


        

        (5)            there shall be delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent contained in this Indenture relating to
            such transaction have been satisfied.

         

        (b)            The successor Person (if other than the Company) shall succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes, and in such event the Company shall automatically be
            released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes. This Section 5.01 shall not apply to any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and its
            Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets from the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to a
            Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor must not be prohibited by Section 4.07 hereof.  Sections 5.01(a)(3) and (4) shall not apply to any merger or consolidation of the Company (1) with or into one of its Restricted Subsidiaries for any
            purpose or (2) with or into an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction.

         

        SECTION 5.02.          Successor Corporation Substituted.  Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment,
            transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person
            formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of
            such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Company), and may exercise
            every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes except in the
            case of a sale of all of the Company’s assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof.

          Defaults and Remedies

         

        SECTION 6.01.          Events of
            Default.  xiv)  Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

         

        (1)            default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest, if any, on the Notes;

         

        (2)            default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;

        
          88

          
            


        

        (3)            failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with their obligations to consummate a purchase of Notes when required by the provisions of Sections
            4.10 or 4.15 hereof;

         

        (4)            failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions described under Section 5.01 hereof;

         

        (5)            failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
            amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements 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
            Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if
            that default:

         

        (A)            is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Securitization Debt of a Special Purpose Subsidiary) prior to the expiration of any
            applicable grace period provided in such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or

         

        (B)            results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Securitization Debt of a Special Purpose Subsidiary) prior to its final Stated 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)            failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $30.0
            million (not covered by independent third-party insurance as to which liability has not been denied by such insurance carrier), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 days;

         

        (8)            except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, or the Note Guarantees of a group of Guarantors that, taken together,
            would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any
            Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee; and

        
          89

          
            


        

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

         

        (A)            commences a voluntary case,

         

        (B)            consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

         

        (C)            consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property,

         

        (D)            makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or

         

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

         

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

         

        (A)            is for relief against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken
            together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

         

        (B)            appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken
            together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company
            that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or

         

        (C)            orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken
            together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

         

        and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

         

        (b)            In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(6) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result
            of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose, the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the
            Trustee stating that:

        
          90

          
            


        

        (1)            (A) the Indebtedness or Guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (B) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or
            action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (C) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured or waived;

         

        (2)            the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

         

        (3)            all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been
            cured or waived.

         

        SECTION 6.02.          Acceleration.  In the case of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(a)(9) or (10) hereof, with
            respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes
            shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, by
            written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if notice is given by such Holders), declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

         

        The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of
          the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of
          Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes.

         

        SECTION 6.03.          Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available
            remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

         

        The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A
          delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  All remedies are
          cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

        
          91

          
            


        

        SECTION 6.04.           Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
            outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment
            of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted
            from such acceleration.  Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
            subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

         

        SECTION 6.05.           Control by Majority.  Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
            shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
            that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.  In the event an Event of Default has occurred and is
            continuing, the Trustee shall be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs.  The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this
            Indenture at the request of any Holder, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense.

         

        SECTION 6.06.           Limitation on Suits.  Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or
            interest, if any, 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 written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

         

        (2)            Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

         

        (3)            such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

         

        (4)            the Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

         

        (5)            during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such
            request.

        
          92

          
            


        

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

         

        SECTION 6.07.          Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right
            of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit
            for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

         

        SECTION 6.08.          Collection Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its
            own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company and each Guarantor for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the
            extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

         

        SECTION 6.09.          Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee is authorized to 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 and counsel) and the Holders
            allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or
            deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly
            to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof.  To the
            extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof 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, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

        
          93

          
            


        

        SECTION 6.10.          Priorities.  If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money
            in the following order:

         

        First: to the
            Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

         

        Second: to
            Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and
            interest, if any, respectively; and

         

        Third: to the
            Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

         

        The Trustee 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 a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its
            discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, 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 a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

         

         

        ARTICLE 7

          

          Trustee

         

        SECTION 7.01.          Duties of Trustee.  xv)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall
            exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

         

        (b)            Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

         

        (1)            the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth
            in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

        
          94

          
            


        

        (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, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
            Indenture.

         

        (c)            The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities 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 7.01;

         

        (2)            the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
            pertinent facts; and

         

        (3)            the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05
            hereof.

         

        (d)            Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01.

         

        (e)            No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.  The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or
            powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

         

        (f)            The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company and the Trustee may hold such money uninvested.  Money held
            in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

         

        SECTION 7.02.           Rights of Trustee.  xvi)  The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person.  The
            Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

         

        (b)            Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to
            take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.  The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
            from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

        
          95

          
            


        

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

         

        (d)            The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

         

        (e)            Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.

         

        (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 or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have
            offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

         

        (g)            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.

         

        (h)            The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received actual written notice of any Default or Event of
            Default at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

         

        (i)            In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces
            beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts or war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, epidemics, pandemics, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or
            malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance
            as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

         

        SECTION 7.03.           Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
            or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, as such term is
            used in the TIA, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign.  Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.  The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 hereof.

        SECTION 7.04.           Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
            validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it
            shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in
            connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

         

        SECTION 7.05.           Notice of Defaults.  If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to
            the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any,
            on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

         

        SECTION 7.06.           Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).  The Company agrees (i) to provide The Bank of New York
            Mellon Trust Company, N.A. with such reasonable information as it has in its possession to enable The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. to determine whether any payments pursuant to this Indenture are subject to the withholding
            requirements described in Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of
            the Code and any regulations, or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof (“Applicable Law”), and (ii) that The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.
            shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under this Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law, for which The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall not have any liability.  Nothing in
            the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as obligating the Company to make any “gross up” payment or similar reimbursement to any Holder in connection with a payment in respect of which amounts are so withheld or deducted. The
            terms of this paragraph shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture

         

        SECTION 7.07.           Compensation and Indemnity.  xvii)  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time agreed upon
            compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon
            request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s
            agents and counsel.

        
          97

          
            


        

        (b)            The Company and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
            administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the
            Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its
            negligence or willful misconduct.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their
            obligations hereunder.  At the election of the Trustee, the Company or such Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.  The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees
            and expenses of such counsel.  Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

         

        (c)            The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

         

        (d)            To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee,
            except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, particular Notes.  Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

         

        (e)            When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (a)(9) or (a)(10) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the
            services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

         

        (f)            The Agents shall have the same rights as the Trustee herein, mutatis mutandis.

         

        (g)            [Reserved].

         

        SECTION 7.08.           Replacement of Trustee.  xviii)  A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
            Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

         

        (b)            The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
            outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing.  The Company may remove the Trustee if:

        
          98

          
            


        

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

         

        (2)            the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

         

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

         

        (4)            the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

         

        (c)            If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company 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 then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

         

        (d)            If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate
            principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         

        (e)            If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent
            jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         

        (f)            A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
            effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all
            property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in
            Section 7.07 hereof.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

         

        SECTION 7.09.           Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.  If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers
            all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another entity, the successor entity without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

         

        SECTION 7.10.           Eligibility; Disqualification.  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is an entity
            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 $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

        SECTION 7.11.           Registrar and Paying Agent.  The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits provided for
            in this Indenture with respect to the Trustee apply to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., mutatis mutandis, acting in all of its roles under
            this Indenture, including, without limitation, as the Registrar and the Paying Agent.

         

         

        ARTICLE 8

          

          Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

         

        SECTION 8.01.          Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.  The Company may at any time, at the option
            of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth
            below in this Article 8.

         

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

         

        (1)            the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are
            due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

         

        (2)            the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;

        
          100

          
            


        

        (3)            the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

         

        (4)            this Article 8.

         

        Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise
          of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

         

        SECTION 8.03.          Covenant Defeasance.  Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to
            this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.07,
            4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.18 and 4.19 hereof and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied
            (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), the Note Guarantees will be released pursuant to Section 10.05 hereof and the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall thereafter be deemed
            not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes
            hereunder (it being understood that such Notes and the Note Guarantees shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the
            Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any
            such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as
            specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the
            satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

         

        SECTION 8.04.          Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.  In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant
            Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

         

        (1)            the Company must irrevocably deposit, or cause to be deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government
            Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, and
            interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to
            a particular redemption date;

        
          101

          
            


        

        (2)            in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

         

        (A)            the Company 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 federal income tax law,

         

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

         

        (3)            in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the
            Holders of the outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
            times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

         

        (4)            no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of
            funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

         

        (5)            such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this
            Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Company or any of the Guarantors is bound;

         

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

        
          102

          
            


        

        (7)            the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the
            Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

         

        SECTION 8.05.          Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.  Subject
            to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture,
            to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if
            any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

         

        The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or
          non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding
          Notes.

         

        Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the
          request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
          thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

         

        SECTION 8.06.          Repayment to Company.  Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
            Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be
            paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee
            or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall
            Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money
            then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

        
          103

          
            


        

        SECTION 8.07.          Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable
            Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
            Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or
            Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the
            rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

          Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

         

        SECTION 9.01.          Without Consent of Holders.  Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, without the consent of any
            Holder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees:

         

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

         

        (2)            to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

         

        (3)            to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor
            pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 hereof;

         

        (4)            to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder;

         

        (5)            at the Company’s election, to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, if such qualification
            should become required;

         

        (6)            to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum dated
            September 22, 2021, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees,
            which intent may be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to that effect;

        
          104

          
            


        

        (7)            to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture;

         

        (8)            to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes, to add security to or for the benefit of the Notes, and to
            release any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

         

        (9)            to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company; or

         

        (10)            to provide for the appointment of a successor trustee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

         

                                The consent of the holders of the notes is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed
          amendment or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or waiver.

         

        Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
          supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 and Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture
          authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that
          affects its own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

         

        SECTION 9.02.          With Consent of Holders.  Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee
            may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if
            any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of
            Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes
            or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including,
            without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).  Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

        
          105

          
            


        

        Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
          supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 and Section 9.06 hereof,
          the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under
          this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

         

        It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
          supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

         

        After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected
          thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental
          indenture or waiver.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or
          the Note Guarantees.  However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

         

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

         

        (2)            reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (except as provided above
            with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof);

         

        (3)            reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

         

        (4)            waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by
            the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

        
          106

          
            


        

        (5)            make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

         

        (6)            make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of, premium on, if any, or
            interest, if any, on the Notes;

         

        (7)            release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

         

        (8)            make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

         

        SECTION 9.03.          [Reserved].

         

        SECTION 9.04.          Revocation and Effect of Consents.  Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a
            consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not
            made on any Note.  However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
            effective.  An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

         

        SECTION 9.05.          Notation on or Exchange of Notes.  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment,
            supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

         

        Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
          waiver.

         

        SECTION 9.06.          Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.  The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture
            authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of
            Directors of the Company approves it.  In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents
            required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

        ARTICLE 10

          

          Note Guarantees

         

        SECTION 10.01.          Guarantee.  xix)  Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
            unconditionally guarantees 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 Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

         

        (1)            the principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest on, the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and
            interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in
            accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

         

        (2)            in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
            accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

         

        Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be
          jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.  Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

         

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

         

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

        
          108

          
            


        

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

         

        SECTION 10.02.          Limitation on Guarantor Liability.  Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby
            confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
            Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor
            shall be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from,
            rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not
            constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

         

        SECTION 10.03.          Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.  To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01
            hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees this Indenture or a supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

         

        Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect
          notwithstanding that no endorsement of such Note Guarantee shall be made on the Notes.

         

        The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee
          set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

         

        In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this
          Indenture, the Company shall cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

        
          109

          
            


        

        SECTION 10.04.          Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05
            hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another
            Guarantor, unless:

         

        (1)            immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

         

        (2)            either:

         

        (a)             the Person acquiring the assets in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger becomes a Guarantor under this Indenture
            pursuant to a supplemental indenture; or

         

        (b)            the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; and

         

        (3)            there shall be delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent contained in this Indenture relating to
            such transaction have been satisfied.

         

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Guarantor may merge or consolidate with or into an Affiliate solely for the purpose of
          reincorporating such Guarantor in another jurisdiction, provided that the successor Person is or becomes a Guarantor, and (2) a Guarantor may consolidate or merge with or
          into or wind up into, liquidate, dissolve, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to the Company or any Guarantor.

         

        In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture,
          executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee (it being understood that such supplemental indenture need not be executed by any other Person besides the Company, any such successor Person and the Trustee), of the
          Note Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if
          it had been named herein as a Guarantor.  All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of
          this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

         

        Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses 2(a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in
          any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
          Company or another Guarantor.

        
          110

          
            


        

        SECTION 10.05.          Releases.

         

        The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall automatically be released:

         

        (a)             In connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
            the assets of that Guarantor, whether by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition
            complies with Section 4.10 hereof or, to the extent applicable, with Section 5.01 hereof, and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such sale or other disposition.  Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an
            Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall,
            at the request and cost of the Company, execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

         

        (b)            Upon release or discharge of a Guarantor’s guarantee of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement (except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee).

         

        (c)            If the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

         

        (d)            Upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof.

         

        (e)            Upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor, provided that no Default or Event of Default as provided in
            Section 6.01 hereof has occurred.

         

        (f)            Solely in the case of a Note Guarantee created pursuant to Section 4.18 hereof, upon the release or discharge of the Guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee (except a
            discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee).

         

        Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 shall remain liable for the
          full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

        
          111

          
            


        

        ARTICLE 11

          

          Satisfaction and Discharge

         

        SECTION 11.01.          Satisfaction and Discharge.  This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights, indemnities and immunities of the
            Trustee and rights of registration or transfer or exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

         

        (1)            either:

         

        (a)            all Notes that have been authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been
            deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

         

        (b)            all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, whether at maturity or by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption
            (or delivering such notice of redemption in accordance with the procedures of DTC), or otherwise, or will become due and payable within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
            for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited, or caused to be deposited, with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for
            the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire
            Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes to the date of maturity or redemption;

         

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

         

        (3)            the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the
            redemption date, as the case may be.

         

        In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions
          precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

         

        Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b)
          of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof shall survive.  In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 shall be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive
          the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

        
          112

          
            


        

        SECTION 11.02.          Application of Trust Money.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with
            the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting
            as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be
            segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

         

        If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof 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 Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
          shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of,
          premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities
          held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

          Attention: BNY US Corporate Trust, World Acceptance Corporation

        

        

        The Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee, by notice to the others, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent
          notices or communications.

         

        All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand,
          if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if transmitted by facsimile or electronic communication; and the next Business Day after timely delivery to the
          courier, if sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery.

         

        The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company and/or the Guarantors, as
          applicable, whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing.  If the Company and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon
          such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling.  The Company and the Guarantors understand and agree that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and
          that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer.  The Company and the
          Guarantors shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company, the Guarantors and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality
          of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company and/or the Guarantors, as applicable.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly
          from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.  The Company and/or the Guarantors agree: (i) to assume all risks arising
          out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that they are fully
          informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company and/or the
          Guarantors, as applicable; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and
          circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

        Any notice or communication to a Holder shall be mailed by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by
          overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery to its address shown on the register kept by the Registrar, or, if the Notes are Global Notes, such notice or communication may be given to the Depositary in accordance with its applicable
          procedures. Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

         

        If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the
          addressee receives it.

         

        If the Company mails a notice or communication to Holders, it shall mail a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

         

        SECTION 12.03.          Communication by Holders with Other Holders.  Holders may communicate with other Holders with respect
            to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes.

         

        SECTION 12.04.          Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent.  Upon any request or application by the Company to
            the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:

         

        (1)            an Officer’s Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth in Section 12.05 hereof) stating that, in
            the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied; and

         

        (2)            an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth in Section 12.05 hereof) stating that, in the
            opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent and covenants have been satisfied.

        SECTION 12.05.          Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion.  Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance
            with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture must include:

         

        (1)            a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;

         

        (2)            a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

         

        (3)            a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to
            whether or not such covenant or condition has been satisfied; and

         

        (4)            a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been satisfied.

         

        SECTION 12.06.          Rules by Trustee and Agents.  The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of
            Holders.  The Registrar or Paying Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions.

         

        SECTION 12.07.          No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders.  No director, officer,
            employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in
            respect of, or by reason of, such 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.

         

        SECTION 12.08.          Governing Law.  THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS
            INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

         

        SECTION 12.09.          Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, AND BY THEIR HOLDING OF A NOTE OR A BENEFICIAL
            INTEREST THEREIN, EACH HOLDER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE NOTE GUARANTEES AND ANY COUNTERCLAIM HEREON OR THEREON.

        
          116

          
            


        

        SECTION 12.10.          Submission to Jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties
            hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and of the United States of America District Courts for the Southern District of New
            York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees. The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree that final judgment against the
            Company or any Guarantor in any such legal action, suit or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced, subject to applicable law, in any jurisdiction in the manner provided by such applicable law. The Company and each Guarantor hereby
            waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (i) any objection that it may have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding brought in any court referred to in this Section 12.10, (ii) any claim that any such legal
            action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (iii) its right of removal of any matter commenced in the courts of the State of New York to any court of the United States of America.

         

        SECTION 12.11.          No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.  This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other
            indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person.  Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

         

        SECTION 12.12.          Successors.  All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors. 
            All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.  All agreements of each Guarantor in this Indenture shall bind its successors, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof.

            Indenture.  Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.  The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile, .pdf transmission or electronic signatures shall constitute
            effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes.  Documents executed, scanned and transmitted electronically or by facsimile and electronic
            signatures, including those created or transmitted through a software platform or application, shall be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Indenture and all matters and agreements related thereto, with such facsimile, scanned and
            electronic signatures having the same legal effect as original signatures.  This Indenture and any instrument, agreement or document related hereto (including, without limitation, supplemental indentures, addendums, amendments, notices,
            instructions, communications with respect to withdrawals or transfers of funds or other communications) (“Executed Documentation”) may be accepted, executed or agreed to
            through the use of an electronic signature in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations in effect from time to time applicable to the effectiveness and enforceability of electronic signatures.  Any Executed Documentation accepted,
            executed or agreed to in conformity with such laws, rules and regulations shall be binding on the Company, each Guarantor, the Trustee and each Holder to the same extent as if it were physically executed and each such party hereby consents to
            the use of any third party electronic signature capture service providers as may be reasonably chosen by a signatory hereto or thereto.  When the Trustee acts on any Executed Documentation sent by electronic transmission, it shall not be
            responsible or liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from its reliance upon and compliance with such Executed Documentation, notwithstanding that such Executed Documentation (i) may not be an authorized or
            authentic communication of the party involved or in the form such party sent or intended to send (whether due to fraud, distortion or otherwise) or (ii) may conflict with, or be inconsistent with, a subsequent written instruction or
            communication; it being understood and agreed that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that Executed Documentation that purports to have been sent by an authorized officer of a Person has been sent by an authorized officer of such Person. 
            The party providing Executed Documentation through electronic transmission or otherwise with electronic signatures agrees to assume all risks arising out of such electronic methods, including, without limitation, the risk of the Trustee acting
            on unauthorized instructions and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

        7.000% Senior Notes due 2026

         

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

         

        (1)  INTEREST.  WORLD ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION, a South Carolina
          corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 7.000% per annum from September 27, 2021 until maturity. 
          The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest

              Payment Date”).  Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid; provided
          that, if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 1, 2022.  If an interest payment date, redemption date, the maturity
          date or any other due date for any payment in respect of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was
          due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at a rate that is 1% higher than the then applicable
          interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at
          the same rate to the extent lawful.

         

        Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

         

        (2)  METHOD OF PAYMENT.  The Company shall pay interest on the
          Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the April 15 and October 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on
          or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.  The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, at the office or agency of the
          Paying Agent, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided
          that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and, with respect to interest due on an Interest Payment Date, all other
          Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Paying Agent at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Interest Payment Date. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as
          at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

         

        (3)  PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.  Initially, The Bank of New
          York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes.  The Company or any of its
          Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

        
          A-4

          
            


        

        (4)  INDENTURE.  The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture
          dated as of September 27, 2021 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture.  The Notes
          are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern
          and be controlling.  The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company.  The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

         

        (5)  OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

         

        (a) At any time prior to November 1, 2023  upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, the Company may on any one or more

          interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from one or
          more Equity Offerings; provided that:

         

        (i) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the
          occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and

         

        (ii) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

         

        (b) At any time prior to November 1, 2023, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less
          than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Trustee), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not
          including, the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

         

        (c) Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to November 1, 2023.

         

        (d) On or after November 1, 2023, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, in whole or in part,

        Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called
          for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

         

        Notice of any redemption of, or any offer to purchase, the Notes may, at the Company’s discretion, be given in connection with an Equity
          Offering or other transaction or event and prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof and any such redemption or purchase may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion or occurrence
          of the related Equity Offering or other transaction event. In addition, if such redemption or purchase is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall
          state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date or purchase date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption or offer to purchase was mailed or delivered, including by
          electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption or repurchase 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 redemption date or purchase date or by the redemption date or purchase date as so delayed, or such notice or offer may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice or offer
          that payment of the redemption or purchase price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption or offer to purchase may be performed by another Person.

         

        (6)  MANDATORY REDEMPTION.  Except as described in Sections 4.10
          and 4.15 of the Indenture, the Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments or offers to purchase the Notes. The Company or any Subsidiary of the Company may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes for
          cancellation in the open market, pursuant to negotiated transactions or otherwise.

         

        (7)  REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

         

        (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder, except to the extent the Company has previously or concurrently mailed or sent a redemption notice with respect to all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to
          Section 3.07 of the Indenture, to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
          repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the “Change of Control Payment”).  Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Company has previously or concurrently mailed or sent a redemption notice with respect to
          all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Indenture, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

        
          A-6

          
            


        

        (b) If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company consummates any Asset Sales, within 30 days of each date on which the
          aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari
            passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets in accordance with the Indenture to purchase, prepay or
          redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees
          and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds.  The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and
          unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and will be payable in
          cash.  If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
          Company shall select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to applicable DTC procedures with respect to the Global Notes), based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed, and thereafter, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a
          pro rata basis (or such other method required by the Depositary), based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed (with each case, such
          adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company or the Trustee, as applicable, so that only notes in denominations of $2000, or an integral multiple of $1000 in excess thereof, will be purchased).  Upon completion of each Asset Sale
          Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.  Holders that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by
          completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.

         

        (8)  NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.  At least 30 days but not more than
          60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more
          than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 thereof.  Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in
          amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased.

         

        (9)  DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.  The Notes are in
          registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder,
          among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Company need not exchange or register the transfer
          of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.  Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection
          of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

          exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any,
          voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount

          Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s assets, as applicable, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the
          Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder, at the Company’s election, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, if
          such qualification should become required, to conform the text of the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum dated September 22, 2021, relating to
          the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, which intent may be evidenced by an
          Officer’s Certificate to that effect, to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note
          Guarantee with respect to the Notes, to add security to or for the benefit of the Notes, and to release any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and to add to the covenants of the Company for the
          benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company, or to provide for the appointment of a successor Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

          the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture; (vi) default under certain other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company which default is a Payment Default or results in
          the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; (vii) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay certain final judgments, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 days;
          (viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, or the Note Guarantees of a group of Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, is held in
          any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee; and
          (ix) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the Indenture with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would

          of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  If any other Event of Default occurs and
          is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
          provided in the Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available
          to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event
          of Default relating to the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes.   The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of
          the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes
          (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment
          default that resulted from such acceleration.  The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to
          deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

          respect of, or by reason of, such 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.
