forma effect to such Incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable
four-quarter period. 
 For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions,
mergers, amalgamations, consolidations (including the Transactions) and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any operational changes that the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary has determined to make and/or has made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma
basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations (including the Transactions), discontinued operations and operational changes (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and
the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, amalgamation or discontinued operation or operational change, in each case with respect to an
operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition,
disposition, discontinued operation, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or operational change had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, with respect to each
New Restaurant that commences operations and records not less than one full fiscal quarter’s operations during the four-quarter reference period, the operating results of such New Restaurant will be annualized on a seasonally adjusted basis
during such period. If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be
calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. 

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any event, the pro forma calculations shall be
made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Issuer, to reflect
(i) operating expense reductions and other operating improvements, synergies or cost savings reasonably expected to result from such relevant pro forma event (including, to the extent applicable, the Transactions) based on actions
already taken and for which the full run-rate effect of such actions is expected to be realized within 12 months of such action and (ii) all adjustments of the type and to the full extent used in connection with the calculation of
“Adjusted EBITDA” as set forth in footnote (1) under the caption “Offering Memorandum Summary—Summary Historical and Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data” of the Offering Memorandum to the extent such
adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable. The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer setting forth such operating expense reductions and other operating
improvements, synergies or cost savings and calculations and information supporting them in reasonable detail. 
  

 13 








 If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma
effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such
Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be
the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma
basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a
eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate. 

For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than U.S. Dollars will be converted to U.S. Dollars based on the average
exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve-month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.

ended for which internal financial statements are available ended as of such date, all determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. In the event that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurs, repays, repurchases or redeems
any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Secured Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Secured Leverage Ratio is made (the “Secured Leverage Calculation

such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations (including the Transactions), discontinued operations and other operational changes (and the change of any associated Indebtedness, EBITDAR, or any other element of
the Secured Leverage Ratio, resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into

disposition, discontinued operation, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or operational change had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, with respect to each
New Restaurant that commences operations and records not less than one full fiscal quarter’s operations during the four-quarter reference period, the operating results of such New Restaurant will be annualized on a seasonally adjusted basis

(i) operating expense reductions and other operating improvements, synergies or cost savings reasonably expected to result from such relevant pro forma event (including, to the extent applicable, the Transactions) based on actions
already taken and for which the full run-rate effect 
  

 28 








 
of such actions is expected to be realized within 12 months of such action and (ii) all adjustments of the type and to the full extent used in connection with the calculation of
“Adjusted EBITDA” as set forth in footnote (1) to “Offering Memorandum Summary—Summary Historical and Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data” to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue
to be applicable. The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer setting forth such operating expense reductions and other operating improvements, synergies or cost savings and
calculations and information supporting them in reasonable detail. 
 For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency
other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in

repurchases or redeems any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Total Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio is made (the “Total
Leverage Calculation Date”), then the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable
four-quarter period; provided the Issuer may elect pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being Incurred at such time, in which case any
subsequent Incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an Incurrence at such subsequent time. 

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations
(including the Transactions) and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any operational changes that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary has determined
to make and/or made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Total Leverage Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis

  

 30 








 
assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations (including the Transactions), discontinued operations and other operational changes (and the
change of any associated Indebtedness, EBITDAR, or any other element of the Total Leverage Ratio, resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that

effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or operational change had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. For purposes
of making the computation referred to above, with respect to each New Restaurant that commences operations and records not less than one full fiscal quarter’s operations during the four-quarter reference period, the operating results of such
New Restaurant will be annualized on a seasonally adjusted basis during such period. If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a

continue to be applicable. The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer setting forth such operating expense reductions and other operating improvements, synergies or cost
savings and calculations and information supporting them in reasonable detail. 
 For purposes of this definition, any amount in

THE SECURITIES 

SECTION 2.01. Amount of Securities. The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture on the Issue Date is $600,000,000 in initial aggregate principal amount of Securities. 
 The
Issuer may from time to time after the Issue Date issue Additional Securities under this Indenture in an unlimited principal amount, so long as (i) the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such Additional Securities is at such time
permitted by Sections 4.03 and 4.12 and (ii) such Additional Securities are issued in compliance with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture. With respect to any Additional Securities issued after the Issue Date (except for
Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 3.06, 3.08, 4.08(c) or the Appendix), there shall be (a) established
in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officer’s Certificate or (ii) established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto,
prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities: 
 (1) the aggregate principal amount of such
Additional Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture; 
 (2) the issue price
and issuance date of such Additional Securities, including the date from which interest on such Additional Securities shall accrue; 
  

 36 








 (3) if applicable, that such Additional Securities shall be issuable in
whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and, in such case, the respective depositaries for such Global Securities, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by such Global Securities in addition to or in lieu of
those set forth in Exhibit A hereto and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Section 2.2 of the Appendix in which any such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional Securities registered,
or any transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof; and 

(4) if applicable, that such Additional Securities that are not Transfer Restricted Securities shall not be issued in
the form of Initial Securities as set forth in Exhibit A, but shall be issued in the form of Exchange Securities as set forth in Exhibit B. 

If any of the terms of any Additional Securities are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Issuer, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or the indenture
supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Securities. 
 The Securities, including any Additional
Securities, shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. 

SECTION 2.02. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Initial Securities, Additional Securities and the Exchange
Securities are set forth in the Appendix, which is hereby incorporated into and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Initial Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional
Securities (if issued as Transfer Restricted Securities) and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this
Indenture. The (i) Exchange Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional Securities issued other than as Transfer Restricted Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication
shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule,
agreements to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000. 

SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a
written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer (a) Original Securities for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000 in initial aggregate principal amount of Securities (b) subject to the terms
of this Indenture, Additional Securities in an aggregate principal amount to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein and (c) the Exchange Securities for issue in a Registered Exchange Offer pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement for a like principal amount of Initial Securities exchanged pursuant thereto or otherwise pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be
authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated and whether the Securities are to be Initial Securities or Exchange Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Appendix,
any issuance of Additional Securities after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. 

One Officer shall sign the Securities for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. 

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

 37 








 A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs
the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Securities. Any
such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities 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 any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and
demands. 
 SECTION 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

(a) The Issuer shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for
exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) a Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying
agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The term “Paying Agent” includes the Paying Agent and any additional paying agents. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and
the Securities Custodian with respect to the Global Securities. 
 (b) The Issuer may enter into an appropriate agency
agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the
Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The
Issuer or any of its domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 (c) The
Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an
appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee
shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee; provided,
however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08. 

SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to or on each due date of the principal of and interest on any
Security, the Issuer shall deposit with each Paying Agent (or if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal
and interest when so becoming due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for
the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate
the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by
such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 
  

 38 








 SECTION 2.06. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form
as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five
Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders. 

SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only
upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix. When a Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if
its requirements therefor are met. When Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same
requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all
taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section. The Issuer shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Securities selected
for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Securities for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed. 

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and
the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of
beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, and that
ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 
 All Securities
issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

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

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Issuer. 

 

 39 








 The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities. 

SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee
except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.08 and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 13.06, a Security does not cease to be outstanding
because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Security. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08
(other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Security
ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08. 
 If a Paying
Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed
or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding
and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 SECTION 2.10. Temporary Securities. In the event that Definitive
Securities are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially
in the form of Definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities and make
them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Issuer, without charge to the Holder. Until such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the
same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Securities. 
 SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuer at any
time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else
shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures. The Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace
Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of canceled Securities other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Issuer shall
pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Securities (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special
record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be sent to each affected Holder a notice that states the
special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 
 SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers,
ISINs, etc. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any
notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly
advise the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers. 
  

 40 








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

ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION 

SECTION 3.01. Redemption. The Securities may be redeemed, in whole, or from time to time in part, subject to the
conditions and at the redemption prices set forth in Paragraph 5 of the form of Securities set forth in Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid
interest to the redemption date. 
 SECTION 3.02. Applicability of Article. Redemption of Securities at the
election of the Issuer or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article. 

SECTION 3.03. Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Securities pursuant to the optional redemption
provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Security, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Securities to
be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. The Issuer shall give notice to the Trustee provided for in this paragraph at least 45 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date if the redemption is pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the
Security, unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel from the Issuer to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions
herein. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Issuer and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not fewer than 15 days after the date of notice to the
Trustee. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 

SECTION 3.04. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of Securities for
redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or, to the extent that selection on a pro rata basis is not practicable, by lot or such other similar method in accordance with the customary procedures of the
relevant Depositary; provided that no Securities of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for
redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $2,000. Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be
redeemed. 
  

 41 








 SECTION 3.05. Notice of Optional Redemption. 

(a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Security, the Issuer shall
mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed. 
 Any
such notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (i) the redemption date;

 (ii) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date; 

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

(iv) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price,
plus accrued interest; 
 (v) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the
certificate numbers and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be outstanding after such partial redemption;

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

(vii) the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed;
and 
 (viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number or ISIN
and/or “Common Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities. 
 (b) At the
Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section at
least 15 days (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the date such notice is to be provided to Holders and such notice may not be canceled. 

SECTION 3.06. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed or sent in accordance with
Section 3.05, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice, except as provided in the final sentence of paragraph 5 of the Securities. Upon surrender to the
Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest, to, but not including, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular record date
and on or prior to the interest payment date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Securities registered on the relevant record date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not
affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder. 
 SECTION 3.07. Deposit of Redemption Price. With
respect to any Securities, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money
sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the
Trustee for cancellation. On and after the

redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the
principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Securities to be redeemed, unless the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

SECTION 3.08. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Issuer shall promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Securities on
the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and in this Indenture. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds as of 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue
installments of interest at the same rate borne by the Securities to the extent lawful. 
 SECTION 4.02. Reports and
Other Information. 
 (a) Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Issuer shall file with the SEC
(and provide the Trustee and Holders with copies thereof, without cost to each Holder, within 15 days after it files them with the SEC), 

(i) within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for a non-accelerated filer, annual
reports on Form 10-K (or any successor or comparable form) containing the information required to be contained therein (or required in such successor or comparable form), 

(ii) within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for a non-accelerated filer, reports on
Form 10-Q (or any successor or comparable form) containing the information required to be contained therein (or required in such successor or comparable form), 

(iii) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event required to be therein reported (and in any event
within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations), such other reports on Form 8-K (or any successor or comparable form), and 

(iv) any other information, documents and other reports which the Issuer would be required to file with the SEC if it
were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; 
 provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be so obligated to
file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Issuer shall make available such information to prospective 

 

 43 








 
purchasers of Securities, including by posting such reports on the primary website of the Issuer or its Subsidiaries in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and the Holders, in
each case within 15 days after the time the Issuer would be required to file such information with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for a non-accelerated filer. 

(b) In the event that: 

(i) the rules and regulations of the SEC permit the Issuer and any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer to report
at such parent entity’s level on a consolidated basis and 
 (ii) such parent entity of the Issuer is
not engaged in any business in any material respect other than incidental to its ownership, directly or indirectly, of the Capital Stock of the Issuer, 

such consolidated reporting at such parent entity’s level in a manner consistent with that described in this Section 4.02 for the Issuer shall
satisfy this Section 4.02. 
 (c) The Issuer shall make such information available to prospective investors upon
request. In addition, the Issuer shall, for so long as any Securities remain outstanding during any period when it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise permitted to furnish the SEC with certain
information pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act, furnish to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and
the Holders if the Issuer has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether or not the Issuer
shall have made such filings. In addition, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement, if required, of the exchange offer contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Securities or the
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement by the filing with the SEC of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and/or Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the provisions of such Registration Rights Agreement, and any amendments
thereto, if such registration statement and/or amendments thereto are filed at times that otherwise satisfy the time requirements set forth in Section 4.02(a). 

(e) In the event that any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer is or becomes a Guarantor, the Issuer may satisfy its obligations
under this Section 4.02 with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to such direct or indirect parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that
explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such direct or indirect parent and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer, the
Guarantors and the other Subsidiaries of the Issuer on a standalone basis, on the other hand. 
 Delivery of such reports,
information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein,
including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates with respect thereto).

Issuer for the 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 or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is
issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred, or the Disqualified Stock had been
issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period, and (b) the Total Leverage Ratio of the Issuer for the 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 or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00, determined on a
pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom).

following fiscal year and (B) the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are permitted to Incur an aggregate amount of Subclause (x) Indebtedness in any fiscal year of the Issuer in excess of the amount otherwise permitted to be made for
such fiscal year pursuant to this subclause (x), provided that such excess amount used to Incur Subclause (x) Indebtedness in any such fiscal year in reliance on this subclause (x) shall not exceed $25.0 million and shall reduce on
a dollar-for-dollar basis the aggregate amount of Subclause (x) Indebtedness to be Incurred pursuant to this subclause (x) in the immediately succeeding fiscal year; and (y) Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations)
Incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, Disqualified Stock issued by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or Preferred Stock issued by any Restricted Subsidiary that refinances any Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease

Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary or any pledge of such Indebtedness constituting a Permitted Lien) shall be
deemed, in each case, to be an Incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (vii); 

(viii) shares of Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary;
provided that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any Restricted Subsidiary that holds such shares of Preferred Stock of another Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted

one or more retail outlets from such former franchisee in an aggregate principal amount for all such Indebtedness not to exceed $5.0 million at any one time outstanding. 

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xxvii) above or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), then

Section 4.03.

determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case
may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with any
U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect
on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever 

 

 49 








 
yields the lower U.S. Dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign
currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. Dollar-denominated
restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. 

SECTION 4.04. Limitation on Restricted Payments. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: 

(i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of any of the Issuer’s or any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests, including any payment made in connection with any merger, amalgamation or consolidation involving the Issuer (other than (A) dividends or distributions by the Issuer payable solely in Equity
Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer; or (B) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued
by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series
of securities); 
 (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Issuer
or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer; 
 (iii) make any principal payment on, or redeem,
repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case prior to any scheduled repayment or scheduled maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor (other than the payment, redemption, repurchase,
defeasance, acquisition or retirement of (A) Subordinated Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such payment, redemption,
repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement and (B) Indebtedness permitted under clauses (vii) and (ix) of Section 4.03(b); or 

(iv) make any Restricted Investment 

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to as
“Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of such Restricted Payment: 
 (1) no Default shall
have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; 
 (2) immediately after giving
effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the Issuer could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.03(a) (but without regard to the Total Leverage Ratio test set
forth therein); and 
 (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other
Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) (plus Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (i), (vii), (xii)(B) and (xvii) of Section 4.04(b)), is
less than the amount equal to the Cumulative Credit (with the amount of any Restricted Payment made under this covenant in any properties other than cash being equal to the Fair Market Value of such properties at the time made); 

 

 50 








 provided that the Issuer shall not and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to make any Restricted Payments of the type described in (I) clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of Restricted Payments or (II) clause (iv) of the definition of the Restricted Payments (to the extent
such Restricted Investment is an Investment in an Affiliate of Issuer (other than a Restricted Subsidiary)), in each case by means of utilization of the Cumulative Credit, unless after giving effect to such Restricted Payment the Secured Leverage
Ratio of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00. 
 As used herein,
“Cumulative Credit” means the sum of (without duplication): 
 (1) 50% of the Consolidated Net
Income of the Issuer for the period from the Issue Date to the end of the Issuer’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, in the case such
Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus 
 (2) 100% of the
aggregate net proceeds, including cash and the Fair Market Value of property other than cash, received by the Issuer after the Issue Date from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer
(excluding Refunding Capital Stock (as defined below), Designated Preferred Stock, Excluded Contributions, and Disqualified Stock), including Equity Interests issued upon exercise of warrants or options (other than an issuance or sale to the Issuer
or Restricted Subsidiary), plus 
 (3) 100% of the aggregate amount of contributions to the common equity
capital of the Issuer received in cash and the Fair Market Value of property other than cash after the Issue Date (other than Excluded Contributions, Refunding Capital Stock, Designated Preferred Stock, and Disqualified Stock), plus 

(4) 100% of the principal amount of any Indebtedness, or the liquidation preference or maximum fixed repurchase
price, as the case may be, of any Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary issued after the Issue Date (other than Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock issued to a Restricted Subsidiary) which has been converted into or exchanged
for Equity Interests in the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (provided in the case of any such parent, such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock is retired or extinguished), plus 

(5) 100% of the aggregate amount received after the Issue Date by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in cash and
the Fair Market Value of property other than cash received after the Issue Date by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from:

combination or transfer (or of the assets transferred or conveyed, as applicable) (other than in each case to the extent that the designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary was made pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(ix) or
constituted a Permitted Investment). 

 (b) The provisions of Section 4.04(a) shall not prohibit:

  

	 	(i)	the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of declaration such payment would have complied with
the provisions of this Indenture;

Stock) of any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer issued after the Issue Date; provided that (x) for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the
date of issuance of such Designated Preferred Stock, after giving effect to such issuance (and the payment of dividends or distributions) on a pro forma basis, the Issuer would have had a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.00

the amount that the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries would have been required to pay in respect of federal, state or local taxes (as the case may be) if the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries paid such taxes as a stand-alone taxpayer (or
stand-alone group); 

  

	 	(xii)	the payment of Restricted Payments, if applicable:

each case to the extent permitted by Section 4.07;

	 	(xvii)	the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions similar to those set forth in
Sections 4.06 and 4.08; provided that all Securities tendered by Holders in connection with a Change of Control, Asset Sale Offer or Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer as applicable, have been repurchased, redeemed or acquired for value;

all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that complies with Section 5.01; provided that as a result of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer of assets, the
Issuer shall have made a Change of Control Offer (if required by this Indenture) and that all Securities tendered by holders in connection with such Change of Control Offer have been repurchased, redeemed or acquired for value; and


  

	 	(xix)	Restricted Payments by the Issuer to any direct parent of the Issuer to finance any Investment permitted to be made pursuant to this covenant; provided that
(i) such Restricted Payment shall be made concurrently with the closing of such Investment (and no earlier than one (1) Business Day prior to the closing of such Investment) and (ii) such parent shall, immediately following the
closing thereof, cause (a) all property acquired (whether assets or Equity Interests) to be contributed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or (b) the merger, amalgamation, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets (to
the extent permitted pursuant to Section 5.01) of the person formed or acquired into the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in order to consummate such acquisition or Investment. 


provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (vi),
(ix), (x) and (xii)(B) or (C), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 

(c) As of the Issue Date, all of the Subsidiaries of the Issuer will be Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer shall not permit
any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding
Investments by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of
“Investments.” Such designation shall only be permitted if a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary. 
 SECTION 4.05. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Issuer shall
not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of the Issuer or Restricted
Subsidiaries to: 
 (a) (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary (1) on its Capital Stock; or (2) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; or (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; 

(b) make loans or advances to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; or 

 

 55 








 (c) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 except in each case for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 

(1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Issue Date, including pursuant to the Credit Agreement
and the other Credit Agreement Documents; 
 (2) this Indenture, the Securities (and any Exchange Securities
and guarantees thereof), the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement; 
 (3) applicable law or
any applicable rule, regulation or order; 
 (4) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by
the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary which was in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate such acquisition), which
encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired; 

(5) contracts or agreements for the sale of assets, including any restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary
imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary; 

(6) Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Sections 4.03 and 4.12 that limit the right
of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; 
 (7) restrictions on cash or other
deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

(8) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course
of business; 
 (9) purchase money obligations for property acquired and Capitalized Lease Obligations in
the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature described clause (c) above on the property or assets which are subject to such agreement; 

(10) customary provisions contained in leases, subleases, licenses, Equity Interests or asset sale agreements and
other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (c) above on the property so acquired; 

(11) customary provisions restricting assignment of any agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business;

 (12) restrictions contained in any agreements related to a Permitted Sale/Leaseback Transaction that
impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (c) above on the property so disposed; 

(13) any encumbrance or restriction of a Receivables Subsidiary effected in connection with a Qualified Receivables
Financing; provided, however, that such restrictions apply only to such Receivables Subsidiary; 
  

 56 








 (14) any restrictions imposed by any agreement relating to Indebtedness
Incurred pursuant to Sections 4.03(xii) or 4.03(xiii) to the extent such restrictions are not more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the restrictions contained in this Indenture; 

(15) other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor,
provided that such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date under Section 4.03;

disposition of any asset permitted by Section 4.06 pending the consummation of such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition; 

(17) customary restrictions and conditions contained in the document relating to any Lien, so long as (i) such
Lien is a Permitted Lien and such restrictions or conditions relate only to the specific asset subject to such Lien and (ii) such restrictions and conditions are not created for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions imposed by this clause
(17); 
 (18) any Restricted Investment not prohibited by Section 4.04 and any Permitted Investment; or

 (19) any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in Sections 4.05(a), (b) and
(c) above imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (18) above;
provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, no more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other
payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing. 

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05, (1) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends
or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (2) the subordination of loans or advances made
to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances. 

SECTION 4.06. Asset Sales. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless
(x) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and (y) at least 75% of the
consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of: 
  


	 	(i)	any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Issuer or a Restricted
Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms contractually subordinated to the Securities or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or that are otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the
transaction with such transferee, 

  

	 	(ii)	any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer
or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received), and 

  

 57 









	 	(iii)	any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with
all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of 2.5% of Consolidated Total Assets and $30.0 million (with the Fair Market Value of each item of
Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), 


shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Section 4.06(a). 

(b) Other than in the case of Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds, within 12 months after the Issuer’s or any
Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, if committed to be made within such 12-month period, made within 18 months of receipt thereof), the Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option in either of the applications specified in clauses (i) or (ii) below (in any combination) or, at its option, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may instead
elect to conduct an Asset Sale Offer, as and when required as described in the second succeeding paragraph below: 
  

	 	(i)	to repay (a) Indebtedness constituting First-Priority Lien Obligations (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce
commitments with respect thereto), (b) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, (c) Obligations under the Securities as provided in Section 3.01 or (d) other Pari Passu Indebtedness (provided that
if the Issuer or any Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under Pari Passu Indebtedness (other than any First-Priority Lien Obligations), the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Securities as provided in Section 3.01,
through open-market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase at
a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, the pro rata principal amount of Securities), in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate
of the Issuer; or 

  

	 	(ii)	to (a) make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person,
such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer), assets, or property or capital expenditures, in each case (i) used or useful in a Similar Business or (ii) that replace the properties and assets that
are the subject of such Asset Sale; provided that, with respect to Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale that constituted a Permitted Sale/Leaseback Transaction, such Net Proceeds may not be applied for any Business Acquisition pursuant to this
subclause (a) other than the acquisition of restaurants or equipment for the Carl’s Jr. or Hardee’s system or (b) from and after the date on which at least $100.0 million in aggregate amount of Net Proceeds have been applied to
repay Indebtedness pursuant to clause (1) above or pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer (provided that all Net Proceeds used to make an Asset Sale Offer shall be deemed to have been so applied whether or not accepted by the Holders) as
described in the succeeding paragraph, retain and utilize not more than $50.0 million in the aggregate in Net Proceeds for any purpose not prohibited under this Indenture. 


Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness
under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in Cash Equivalents or Investment Grade Securities. Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds until such
time as they constitute Net Proceeds) that are not applied as provided and within the time period set forth in this Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Securities, as

  

 58 








 
described in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b), shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Excess
Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders (and, at the option of the Issuer, to holders of any Pari Passu Indebtedness) (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to
purchase the maximum principal amount of Securities (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness), that is at least $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an
amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event such Pari Passu Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,
if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in
this Section 4.06. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within thirty (30) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the
terms of Section 4.06(h), with a copy to the Trustee; provided, however, that the Issuer may defer the commencement of any Asset Sale Offer if at the time a Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer is then pending or required to be made until the
completion of such Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Securities (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any
remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes that are not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Securities (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be purchased in the manner described in Section 4.06(g). Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 

(c) When the aggregate amount of Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the Issuer shall make an
offer to all Holders (and, at the option of the Issuer, to holders of any Other Second-Lien Obligations) (a “Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Securities (and such Other Second-Lien Obligations),
that is at least $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof (or, in
the event such Other Second-Lien Obligation was issued with significant original issue discount, 103% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any (or, in respect of such Other Second-Lien
Obligations, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided by the terms of such Other Second-Lien Obligations), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuer will
commence a Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer with respect to Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds within sixty (60) days after the date that Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million by mailing the notice required
pursuant to the terms of Section 4.06(h), with a copy to the Trustee. If the aggregate principal amount of Securities (and such Other Second-Lien Obligations) surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Available Designated
Sale/Leaseback Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be purchased in the manner described below. Upon completion of any such Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer, the amount of Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds shall be
reset at zero; provided, however that to the extent that the aggregate amount of Securities (and such Other Second-Lien Obligations) tendered pursuant to a Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer is less than the Available Designated
Sale/Leaseback Proceeds, the remaining Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds shall as of the date of completion of such Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer, cease to constitute Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds but shall instead
as of such date constitute Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale (which Asset Sale shall be deemed to have been consummated on the date such Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer expired) and shall be subject to Section 4.06(b). Pending the final application
of any such Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds
in Cash Equivalents or Investment Grade Securities. 
 (d) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or a Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer. To the
extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations
described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 
  

 59 








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

(f) Holders electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly
completed, to the Issuer at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day
prior to the purchase date, a facsimile transmission or letter sent to the address indicated in Section 13.02 or specified in the notice described in Section 4.06(h) setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the
Security which was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased. 

(g) If more Securities (and in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, such Pari Passu Indebtedness, and in the case of a Designated
Sale/Leaseback Offer, such Other Second-Lien Obligations are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or a Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer than the Issuer is required to purchase, selection of such Securities for purchase shall be made by the
Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed, or if the Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall
deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements); provided that no Securities of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part. Selection of such Pari Passu Indebtedness or Other Second-Lien
Obligations, as the case may be, shall be made pursuant to the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness or Other Second Lien Obligations. 

(h) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer or a Designated Sale/Leaseback Offer shall be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at
least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder at such Holder’s registered address. If any Security is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Security shall state the portion
of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.

or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

payable pursuant to any agreement referred to in subclause (x) above in connection with the termination of any such agreement with the Sponsor (the “Management Termination Fee”); provided, that if any such payment pursuant to
subclause (y) is not permitted to be paid as a result of an Event of Default, such payment shall accrue and may be payable when no Events of Default are continuing to the extent that no further Event of Default would result therefrom;

 (iv) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursement of expenses paid to, and indemnity
provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary, or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer;

described in the Offering Memorandum or (y) approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer in good faith; 
  

 61 








 (vi) transactions in which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of
Section 4.07(a)(i); 
 (vii) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to officers, directors,
employees or consultants which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer in good faith; 

(viii) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as any such agreement
together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby as determined in good
faith by the Issuer; 
 (ix) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary
of its obligations under the terms of, Acquisition Documents, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date, and any transaction, agreement
or arrangement described in the Offering Memorandum and, in each case, any amendment thereto or similar transactions, agreements or arrangements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the
performance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing transaction, agreement or arrangement or under any similar transaction, agreement or arrangement entered into after the Issue
Date shall only be permitted by this clause (ix) to the extent that the terms of any such existing transaction, agreement or arrangement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new transaction, agreement or arrangement are
not otherwise more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the original transaction, agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date;

SECTION 4.08. Change of Control. 

(a) Upon a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such
Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in this Section 4.08; provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall not be
obligated to purchase any Securities pursuant to this Section 4.08 in the event that it has exercised its right to redeem such Securities in accordance with Article 3 of this Indenture. In the event that at the time of such Change of
Control the terms of the Bank Indebtedness restrict or prohibit the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.08, then prior to the mailing or electronic transmission of the notice to the Holders provided for in Section 4.08(b)
but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer shall (i) repay in full all Bank Indebtedness or, if doing so will allow the purchase of Securities, offer to repay in full all Bank Indebtedness and repay the Bank
Indebtedness of each lender who has accepted such offer, or (ii) obtain the requisite consent under the agreements governing the Bank Indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the Securities as provided for in Section 4.08(b). 

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the
Securities in accordance with Article 3 of this Indenture, the Issuer shall mail or send electronically a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating: 

(i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase such
Holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on a
record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); 
 (ii) the circumstances and
relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control; 
 (iii) the repurchase date
(which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent electronically); and 
  

 63 








 (iv) the instructions determined by the Issuer, consistent with this
Section 4.08, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased. 
 (c) Holders electing to have a
Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuer at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. The Holders shall be entitled
to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a facsimile transmission or letter sent to the address specified in Section 13.02 or set forth in the notice described
in Section 4.08(b) setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security
purchased. Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. 

(d) On the purchase date, all Securities purchased by the Issuer under this Section shall be delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Holders entitled thereto. 

(e) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a
definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 

(f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control
Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.08 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the
Issuer and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 

(g) Securities repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will have the status of Securities issued but not
outstanding or will be retired and canceled at the option of the Issuer. Securities purchased by a third party pursuant to the preceding clause (f) will have the status of Securities issued and outstanding. 

(h) At the time the Issuer delivers Securities to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Issuer shall also deliver
an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Securities are to be accepted by the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.08. A Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the
Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder. 
 (i) Prior to any
Change of Control Offer, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Issuer to make such offer have been complied with. 

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

SECTION 4.09. Compliance Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Issuer, beginning with the fiscal year ending on or about January 31, 2011, an Officer’s Certificate (the signer of which shall be the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal
accounting officer of the Issuer) stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of the signer’s duties as an Officer of the Issuer the signer would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signer knows of any
Default that occurred during such period. If the signer does, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Issuer also shall comply with
Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA. 
  

 64 








 SECTION 4.10. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee,
the Issuer shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 

SECTION 4.11. Future Guarantors. The Issuer shall cause each Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic
Subsidiary (unless such Subsidiary is a Receivables Subsidiary or an Excluded Domestic Subsidiary) that 

(i) guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that Restricted
Subsidiaries shall be permitted to guarantee Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary without becoming obligated to guarantee the Securities pursuant to this clause (i) for so long as the aggregate principle amount of all such
Indebtedness so guaranteed pursuant to this proviso does not exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate); or 

(ii) Incurs any Indebtedness or issues any shares of Disqualified Stock permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant
to clauses (i) or (xii) of Section 4.03(b) or not permitted to be Incurred by Section 4.03, 
 to (a) execute and
deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit D pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall guarantee the Issuer’s Obligations under the Securities and this Indenture; and (b) to become a party to the
Security Documents and to execute and file all documents and instruments necessary to grant to the Collateral Agent a perfected security interest in the Collateral of such Restricted Subsidiary. 

SECTION 4.12. Liens. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any asset or property of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary securing Indebtedness. The expansion of Liens by virtue of accrual of interest, the
accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the
exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Liens for purposes of this Section 4.12. 
 SECTION
4.13. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 (a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an
office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities and this Indenture
may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 13.02. 

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

(c) The Issuer hereby designates the corporate trust office of the Trustee or its Agent as such office or agency of the Issuer in
accordance with Section 2.04. 
  

 65 








 SECTION 4.14. Amendment of Security Documents. The Issuer shall not amend,
modify or supplement, or permit or consent to any amendment, modification or supplement of, the Security Documents in any way that would be adverse to the Holders in any material respect, except as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement or as
permitted under Article 9. 
 SECTION 4.15. After-Acquired Property. From and after the Issue Date, upon the
creation of any Lien in favor of First-Priority Obligations by the Issuer or any Guarantor in respect of any First-Priority After-Acquired Property, the Issuer or such Guarantor shall execute and deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, security
instruments, financing statements and certificates and opinions of counsel as shall be necessary to vest in the Trustee a perfected security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens, in such First-Priority After-Acquired Property and to have such
First-Priority After-Acquired Property (but subject to certain limitations as described in the Security Documents, if applicable) added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to
relate to such First-Priority After-Acquired Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect; provided, however, that if granting such second-priority security interest in such First-Priority After-Acquired Property
requires the consent of a third party, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent with respect to the second-priority interest for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders; provided further,
however, that if such third party does not consent to the granting of such second-priority security interest after the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will not be required to
provide such security interest. 
 SECTION 4.16. Termination and Suspension of Certain Covenants. 

(a) If, on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Securities have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and
(ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”) then,
beginning on that day and continuing at all times thereafter until the Reversion Date, as defined below (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall
not be subject to Section 4.03 hereof, Section 4.04 hereof, Section 4.05 hereof, Section 4.06 hereof, Section 4.07 hereof, Section 4.11 hereof and clause (iv) of Section 5.01(a) hereof (collectively, the
“Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the
“Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Securities below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will
thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period of time between the Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the
“Suspension Period.” 
 On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock
issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or one of the clauses set forth in 4.03(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would be
permitted to be Incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03, such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it
is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iii). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 will be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect
since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a). No Default or
Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period. On and after each Reversion Date, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries
will be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any contract entered into during the Suspension Period so long as such contract and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period. 

 

 66 








 (b) For purposes of Section 4.05, on the Reversion Date, any contractual
encumbrances or restrictions of the type specified in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of Section 4.05 entered into during the Suspension Period, will be deemed to have been in effect on the Issue Date, so that they are permitted under clause
(1) of Section 4.05. 
 (c) For purposes of Section 4.06, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess
Proceeds and Available Designated Sale/Leaseback Proceeds amounts will be reset to zero. 
 (d) For purposes of
Section 4.07, any contract, agreement, loan, advance or guaranty with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect as of the Issue Date for purposes of
Section 4.07(b)(viii). 
 (e) During a Suspension Period, the Issuer may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as
Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 4.17. Mortgages; Insurance. 

(a) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Collateral Agent as promptly as
reasonably practicable after the Issue Date, but in any event within 120 days of the Issue Date, and to continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to the extent the following actions have not been completed within 120 days following the Issue
Date to cause Mortgages to be delivered, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, with respect to Owned Real Properties of the Issuer and its subsidiaries accounting for not less than 90.0% of the Restaurant EBITDA (as defined in the Credit
Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) of all Owned Real Properties of the Issuer and its subsidiaries (and constituting valid and enforceable Liens subject to no other Liens except Permitted Liens at the time of perfection thereof) and record or
file, and cause each such Guarantor to record or file, the Mortgage or instruments related thereto in such manner and in such places as is required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent
required to be granted pursuant hereto and pay, and cause each such Guarantor to pay, in full, all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith, together with opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee. Additionally, not later than the date on which the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have granted a security interest or mortgage in favor of any First-Priority Obligations in respect of Owned Real Properties, the Issuer shall grant and
cause each Guarantor to grant to the Collateral Agent security interests and mortgages in such Owned Real Properties of the Issuer or any such Guarantor pursuant to documentation in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (each, an
“Additional Mortgage”) and constituting valid and enforceable Liens subject to no other Liens except Permitted Liens at the time of perfection thereof, record or file, and cause each such Guarantor to record or file, the Additional
Mortgage or instruments related thereto in such manner and in such places as is required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Additional Mortgages and
pay, and cause each such Guarantor to pay, in full, all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith, in each case subject to limitations. 

(b) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance (subject to
deductibles and retentions) in such amounts and against such risks as are determined in good faith by the Issuer and the Guarantors to be appropriate and cause the Issuer and the Guarantors to be listed as insured and the Collateral Agent to be
listed as co-loss payee on property and property casualty policies and as additional insured on liability policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and the Subsidiaries may self-insure with respect to such risks with respect to which
are determined in good faith by the Issuer and the Guarantors to be appropriate. On the Issue Date, or at the time any Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11, the Issuer will provide, or cause to be provided, to the
Trustee a copy of, or a certificate as to coverage under, the insurance policies required by this Section 4.17 including, without limitation, flood insurance policies and any applicable provisions of the Security Documents, each of which shall
be endorsed or 
  

 67 








 
otherwise amended to include a “standard” or “New York” lender’s loss payable or mortgagee endorsement or other similar endorsement in each applicable jurisdiction (to
the extent applicable) and shall name the Collateral Agent as additional insured.

continuing; 
 (iv) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, as if such
transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred
by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), either 
 (A) the
Successor Company would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.03(a) (without regard to the Total Leverage Ratio test set forth therein); or

Securities and the Security Documents, and in such event the Issuer will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture, the Securities and the Security Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses
(iii) and (iv) of this Section 5.01(a), (A) the Initial Merger shall be permitted, (B) any Restricted Subsidiary may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or
to a Restricted Subsidiary, and (C) the Issuer may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any
territory of the United States or may convert into a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. This Article 5 will not
apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.02(b) (which govern the release of a Guarantee upon the sale or disposition of a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Guarantor), no Guarantor shall, and the Issuer shall not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), or
sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person (other than any such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition
in connection with the Transactions) unless: 
 (i) either (A) such Guarantor is the surviving Person
or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation, partnership
or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory of the United States (such Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the
“Successor” ) and the Successor (if other than such Guarantor) expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture and the Securities, such Guarantor’s Guarantee and the Security Documents pursuant to a
supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, or (B) such sale or disposition or consolidation, amalgamation or merger is not in violation of Section 4.06
and does not constitute a sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer; and 

(ii) the Successor (if other than such Guarantor) shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture. 

Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Successor (if other than such Guarantor) will succeed to, and be substituted for,
such Guarantor under this Indenture, such Guarantor’s Guarantee and the Security Documents, and such Guarantor will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture, such Guarantor’s Guarantee and the
Security Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Guarantor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating such Guarantor in another state of the United States, the District
of Columbia or any territory of the United States so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Guarantor is not increased thereby and (2) a Guarantor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with another Guarantor or the Issuer. 

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into, or sell,
assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets (collectively, a “Transfer”) to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor.

 ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

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

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

(c) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary fails to comply with its obligations under Section 5.01, 

(d) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary fails to comply with any of its agreements in the Securities or this
Indenture (other than those referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below, 

(e) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary) fails to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders
thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $30.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent, 

(f) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences a voluntary case; 

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

(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or 

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign
laws relating to insolvency, 
 (g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any
Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (i) is for relief against the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary
case; 
 (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part
of its property; or 
  

 70 








 (iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Issuer or any
Significant Subsidiary; 
 or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60
days, 
 (h) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary) fails to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $30.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which
judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 45 consecutive days following the entry thereof, 

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

(j) unless all of the Collateral has been released from the Securities Liens in accordance with the provisions of the
Security Documents with respect to the Securities, the Issuer shall assert or any Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of any
such Person that is a Subsidiary of the Issuer, the Issuer fails to cause such Subsidiary to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Issuer has actual knowledge of such assertions, or 

(k) the Issuer or any Guarantor fails to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements contained in the
Security Documents except for a failure that would not be material to the Holders of the Securities and would not materially affect the value of the Collateral taken as a whole. 

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or
involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 

The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

 A Default under clause (d) or (k) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the
Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Issuer and the Trustee of the Default and the Issuer does not cure such Default within the time specified in clause (d) or (k) above after
receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within five (5) Business Days after the
occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which is, or with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer) occurs with respect to the Securities and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities, by
notice to the Issuer, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable; provided, however, that so long as any Bank Indebtedness remains outstanding, no such
acceleration shall be effective until the earlier of (i) five (5)
  

 71 








 
Business Days after the giving of written notice to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the day on which any Bank Indebtedness is
accelerated. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on all the Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities by
notice to the Trustee may rescind any such acceleration and its consequences. 
 In the event of any Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(e), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20
days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders
thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event
shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Securities as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events. 

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities, this Indenture or the Security Documents. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No
remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative. 
 SECTION
6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Securities are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by written notice to the Trustee may
waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Security, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Security when required
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Issuer, the
Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior
to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

(a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any
remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless: 
 (i) the Holder gives to the Trustee
written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 
  

 72 








 (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (iii) such Holder or Holders offer
to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (iv) the
Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 

(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee a written
direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 
 (b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice
the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such
Holders). 
 SECTION 6.07. Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Securities, or to bring suit for the enforcement of
any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

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

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other
professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the Holders of Securities then outstanding allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any Guarantor, its creditors or its property, shall be entitled to
participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or
other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, if the
Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 

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

THIRD: to the Issuer. 
  

 73 








 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant
to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall send to each Holder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in
any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not
apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities. 

SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do
so) shall at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; and the Issuer and each Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE 7

 TRUSTEE 

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. 

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

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

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee (it being agreed that the permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty); and

 (ii) 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. The Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation as to
any statement contained in any such instance, but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statement or the correctness of such opinions. However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any
provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical
calculations or other facts stated therein). 
  

 74 








 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own gross negligent action,
its own gross negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this paragraph
does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for
any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(iii) 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; and 
 (iv) no provision of this
Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. 

(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of
this Section. 
 (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may
agree in writing with the Issuer. 
 (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law. 
 (g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA. 

SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on 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 the Officer’s Certificate or
Opinion of Counsel. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through 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 which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters
relating to this Indenture and the Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of
such counsel. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Issuer and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

  

 75 








 (g) 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 pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (h) The rights, privileges,
protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to
act hereunder. 
 (i) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith at the direction
of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee or the exercising of any power conferred by this
Indenture. 
 (j) Any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Trustee in good faith pursuant to this Indenture upon
the request or authority or consent of any person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon future Holders of Securities and upon Securities
executed and delivered in exchange therefor or in place thereof. 
 (k) 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. 
 (l) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the
performance of its powers and duties hereunder. 
 (m) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver a certificate
setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply
with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
 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, any Guarantee or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any
statement of the Issuer or any Guarantor in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(c), (d), (e), (h), or (i) or of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the
Trustee shall have received written notice thereof in accordance with Section 13.02 hereof from the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Holder. In accepting the trust hereby created, the Trustee acts solely as Trustee for the Holders and not in
its individual capacity and all persons, including without limitation the Holders of Securities and the Issuer having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Indenture shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder
for payment except as otherwise provided herein. 
  

 76 








 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and
if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the
Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the
interests of the Holders. 
 SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to the Holders. As promptly as practicable after
each June 30 beginning with the June 30 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to August 30 in each year, the Trustee shall send to each Holder a brief report dated as of such June 30 that complies with
Section 313(a) of the TIA if and to the extent required thereby. The Trustee shall also comply with Section 313(b) of the TIA. 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the
Securities are listed. The Issuer agrees to notify promptly the Trustee in writing whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for
its services as shall be agreed in writing between the Issuer and the Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon
request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or Guarantee against the
Issuer or a Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive
the payment in full or defeasance of the Securities or the removal or resignation of the Trustee. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof;
provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer or any Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable
cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that
the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Guarantors,
as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct or
negligence. 
 To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have
a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities pursuant to Article 8 hereof or otherwise. 

The Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of
this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs
expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law. 

 

 77 








 No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its
satisfaction. 
 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if: 

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

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

(b) If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities and such
Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. 
 (c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee
and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall
send a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.

Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further
act shall be the successor Trustee. 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation
to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and
deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name

 ARTICLE 8 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 

SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be
of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Securities when: 

(a) either (i) all the Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Securities pursuant to
Section 2.08 which have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) have
been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all of the Securities (a) have become due and payable, (b) will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year or (c) if redeemable at the option of the
Issuer, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or
caused to be deposited with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient in the written opinion of a firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery
shall only be required if U.S. Government Obligations have been so deposited) to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on the Securities to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(b) the Issuer and/or the Guarantors have paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; and 

(c) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all
conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 

Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Securities and this
Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11, 4.12, 4.15 and 4.17 for the benefit of the Securities and the operation of Section 5.01 and
Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer only), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer 

 

 79 








 
only) and 6.01(h) (“covenant defeasance option”) for the benefit of the Securities. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its
covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Issuer terminates all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture by exercising its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Guarantor
under its Guarantee of the Securities and all obligations under the Security Documents shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations. 

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (with respect to Significant
Subsidiaries of the Issuer only), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer only), 6.01(h), 6.01(i), 6.01(j), 6.01(k) or because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with subclause (a)(iv) of Section 5.01. 

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the
discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates. 
 (d) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and
(b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 7.07, 7.08 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections
7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance.

 (a) The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, in each case, with respect to
the Securities only if: 
 (i) the Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee cash in U.S.
Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient, or U.S. Government Obligations, the principal of and the interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, to pay the principal of and
premium (if any) and interest on the Securities when due at maturity or redemption, as the case may be, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date; 

(ii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants
expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts
as will be sufficient to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(iii) 123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in
Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 

(iv) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Issuer; 

(v) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
stating that (1) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) 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 will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; 
  

 80 








 (vi) such exercise does not impair the right of any Holder to receive
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Securities on or after the due dates therefore or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Securities; 

(vii) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and 
 (viii) the
Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Securities to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article 8
have been complied with. 
 (b) Before or after a deposit, the Issuer may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
the redemption of such Securities at a future date in accordance with Article 3. 
 SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust
Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations (including proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations
through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities so discharged or defeased. 

SECTION 8.04. Repayment to Issuer. Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon
written request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article which, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be
required if U.S. Government Obligations have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article 8. 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any
money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall
have no further liability with respect to such monies. 
 SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for U.S. Government
Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government
Obligations. 
 SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is permitted
to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of or interest on, any such Securities because of the reinstatement of
its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

single issue of securities. 
 After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the
Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.01. 

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of the Holders. The Issuer and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, the Securities and the
Security Documents with respect to the Securities with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender

Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the Securities. 
  

 83 








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

After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall promptly mail to the Holders a notice briefly
describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02. 

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA,
every amendment, waiver or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. 

(a) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that
Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the
consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation delivered in accordance with Section 13.02 before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s
Certificate from the Issuer certifying that the requisite principal amount of Securities have consented. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the
(i) receipt by the Issuer or the Trustee of consents by the Holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto
containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuer and the Trustee. 

(b) The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give
their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such
record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record
date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 
 SECTION
9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Issuer may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation
on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that
reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant
to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such
amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its
terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). 
  

 84 








 SECTION 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of
the Issuer shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this
Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

SECTION 9.08. Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all
Securities issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent separately on all matters as to which any of such Securities may vote. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred
in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article 9 and Section 2.14. 
 ARTICLE 10 

 RANKING OF NOTE LIENS 

SECTION 10.01. Relative Rights. The Intercreditor Agreement shall define the relative rights, as lienholders, of holders
of Securities Obligations and Other Second-Lien Obligations on the one hand and holders of First-Priority Lien Obligations on the other hand. Nothing in this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement will: 

(a) impair, as between the Issuer and Holders, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay principal of, premium and interest on the Securities in accordance with their terms or to perform any other obligation of the Issuer or any other Obligor under this Indenture, the Securities, the Guarantees and the Security Documents;

 (b) restrict the right of any Holder to sue for payments that are then due and owing, in a manner not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement;

(iv) to seek the creation of, or appointment to, any official committee representing creditors (or certain of the
creditors) in any insolvency or liquidation proceedings and, if appointed, to serve and act as a member of such committee without being in any respect restricted or bound by, or liable for, any of the obligations under this Article 10; 

 

 85 








 (v) to seek or object to the appointment of any professional person to
serve in any capacity in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding or to support or object to any request for compensation made by any professional person or others therein; 

(vi) to make, support or oppose any request for order appointing a trustee or examiner in any insolvency or
liquidation proceedings; or 
 (vii) otherwise to make, support or oppose any request for relief in any
insolvency or liquidation proceeding that it is permitted by law to make, support or oppose if it were a holder of unsecured claims; or 

(viii) as to any matter relating to any plan of reorganization or other restructuring or liquidation plan or as to
any matter relating to the administration of the estate or the disposition of the case or proceeding (in each case except as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement).

Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be subject to such directions as may be given it by the Trustee from time to time (as required or permitted by this Indenture). Subject to the Security Documents and

Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying that all conditions precedent hereunder have been met, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be entitled to the release of assets included in the Collateral from the Liens securing the Securities, and the
Collateral Agent and the Trustee (if the Trustee is not then the Collateral Agent) shall release the same from such Liens at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, under any one or more of the following circumstances:

(2) in the case of a Guarantor that is released from its Guarantee with respect to the Securities, the release of the
property and assets of such Guarantor; or

termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Issuer, the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the
Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement.

Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents unless (i) written notice of such release has been delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee not less than five days prior to the date of
such release and (ii) the Officer’s Certificate required by this Section 11.04 has been delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such release.

 88

conclusively rely upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such certificate or opinion. The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Section 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the

accordance with this Indenture or any Security Document and if the Issuer has delivered the certificates and documents required by the Security Documents and Section 11.04, the Trustee will determine whether it has received all documentation
required by TIA § 314(d) in connection with such release and, based on such determination and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 11.04, will, upon request, deliver a certificate to the Collateral Agent setting forth such
determination. 
 SECTION 11.06. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in
the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 11 upon the Issuer or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee,
and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or a Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 11; and if the Trustee shall
be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.

the payment in full of the Issuer’s obligations under the Securities, this Indenture and the Security Documents, and all such obligations have been so satisfied, or (ii) a discharge, legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of this
Indenture occurs under Article 8, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer and the Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral, and any rights
it has under the Security Documents, and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and shall, at the expense of the Issuer, do or cause to
be done all acts reasonably necessary to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. 
 SECTION
11.08. Designations. Except as provided in the next sentence, for purposes of the provisions hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement requiring the Issuer to designate Indebtedness for the purposes of the terms First-Priority Lien
Obligations and Other Second-Lien Obligations, or any other such designations hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreement, any such designation shall be sufficient if the relevant designation provides in writing that such First-Priority Lien
Obligations or Other Second-Lien Obligations are permitted under this Indenture and is signed on behalf of the Issuer by an Officer and delivered to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the First Lien Agent. For all purposes hereof and the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Issuer hereby designates the Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date as First-Priority Lien Obligations. 

SECTION 11.09. Taking and Destruction. Upon any Taking or Destruction of any Collateral, all Net Insurance Proceeds
received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed Net Proceeds and shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.06.

 ARTICLE 12 

GUARANTEES 

SECTION 12.01. Guarantees. 

(a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees on a second priority senior secured
basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption
or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent) and the Securities, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities and all other
monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Securities and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or
otherwise under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in
whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 12 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. 

(b) Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and
also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any
Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or
renewal of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any
security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of each Holder and the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any Guarantor; (v) the failure of any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to exercise any right or remedy against any other
guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Guarantor, except as provided in Section 12.02(b). 

(c) Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the
Guarantors, such that such Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Issuer first be used and depleted as payment of the
Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuer be sued
prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor. 
 (d) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein
constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to any security held for payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (e) The Guarantee of each Guarantor is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article
12, equal in right of payment to all existing and future Pari Passu Indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer and is made subject to such provisions of this Indenture. 

(f) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 12.02 and 12.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject
to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired
or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement,

  

 90 








 
by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to
do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

(g) Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed
Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 

(h) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent
has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by
redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee an amount
equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary
obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee. 
 (i) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of
subrogation in relation to the Trustee in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Trustee, on the other
hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration
in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 12.01. 
 (j) Each Guarantor also
agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 12.01. 

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

(b) A Guarantee as to any Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Guarantor shall be deemed to be
released from all obligations under this Article 12 upon: 
 (i) the sale, disposition, exchange or other
transfer (including through merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) of the Capital Stock (including any sale, disposition or other transfer following which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary) of the applicable
Guarantor if such sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer is made a manner not in violation of this Indenture, 
  

 91 








 (ii) the Issuer designating such Guarantor to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions set forth under Section 4.04 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” 

(iii) in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to guarantee the Securities
pursuant to Section 4.11, the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary or the repayment of the Indebtedness or
Disqualified Stock, in each case, which resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Securities, and 

(iv) the Issuer’s exercise of its defeasance option under Article 8, or if the Issuer’s obligations under
this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 
 (c) In the case of clause (b)(i) above,
such Guarantor shall be released from its guarantees, if any, of, and all pledges and security, if any, granted in connection with, the Credit Agreement and any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer. 

A Guarantee also shall be automatically released upon the applicable Subsidiary ceasing to be a Subsidiary as a result of any foreclosure
of any pledge or security interest securing First-Priority Lien Obligations, subject to, in each case, the application of the proceeds of such foreclosure in the manner set forth in the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement or if such
Subsidiary is released from its guarantees of, and all pledges and security interests granted in connection with, the Credit Agreement and any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer which results in the
obligation to guarantee the Securities. 
 SECTION 12.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 12 shall be
binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder, the

Indenture. 
 SECTION 12.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee, the
Collateral Agent or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 12 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or
privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 12
at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

waiver of any provision of this Article 12, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

 SECTION 12.06. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors. Each Subsidiary and other Person
which is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11 or the first sentence of Section 12.01 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D pursuant to which such Subsidiary
or other Person shall become a Guarantor under this Article 12 and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an

 Regulation S Securities initially shall be represented by one or more Securities in fully registered, global
form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Regulation S Temporary Global Security” and, together with the Regulation S Permanent Global Security (defined below), the “Regulation S Global Securities”), which shall be
registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear system (“Euroclear”) or Clearstream Banking,
Société Anonyme (“Clearstream”). 
 The Restricted Period shall be terminated upon the
receipt by the Trustee of: (1) a written certificate from the Depository, together with copies of certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Security (except to the extent of any beneficial owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another








 
exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who shall take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in a 144A Global Security bearing a Private Placement Legend, all as
contemplated by this Appendix A); and (2) an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer. 
 Following the
termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Security shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in a permanent Global Security (the “Regulation S Permanent Global Security”) pursuant to

connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided. 
 The provisions of the “Operating
Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream shall be applicable to
transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Security and the Regulation S Permanent Global Security that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream. 

The term “Global Securities” means the Rule 144A Global Securities and the Regulation S Global

owner of the Global Securities for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by the Depository, or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security. 

(ii) Transfers of Global Securities shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its
successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Securities may be transferred or exchanged for Definitive Securities only in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository and the
provisions of Section 2.2. In addition, a Global Security shall be exchangeable for Definitive Securities if (x) the Depository (1) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global
Security and the Issuer thereupon fails to appoint a successor depository within 90 days or (2) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (y) the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee that it elects to
cause the Issuance of Definitive Securities or (z) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Security be

all cases, Definitive Securities delivered in exchange for any Global Security or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with
its customary procedures. 
 (iii) In connection with the transfer of a Global Security as an entirety to
beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (i) of this Section 2.1(b), such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make

interest in a Global Security pursuant to Section 2.2 shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2, bear the Restricted Securities Legend.

	2.	Method of Payment 

 The
Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled
after the record date and on or before the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender Securities to the Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and

	4.	Indenture 

 The Company
issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of July 12, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions 

The Securities are senior secured second lien obligations of the Company. This Security is one of the Initial Securities referred to
in the Indenture. The Securities include the Original Securities, any Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities issued in exchange for the Original Securities or any Additional Securities pursuant to the Indenture. The Original
Securities, any Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among
other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted
Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations

under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, the Guarantors have, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations on a second priority senior secured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount thereof) of 111.375%, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) must

the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his, her or its registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay
the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on
and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
  

	8.	Repurchase of Securities at the Option of the 

  

	 	Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Sales 


Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to

Documents. The Securities Liens upon any and all Collateral will be, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, subordinate in ranking to all present and future first priority Liens and will be of equal ranking with all
present and future Liens securing Other Second-Lien Obligations as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be
redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed.

Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, Guarantees, the Securities, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement; (xiii) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; or (xiv) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Securities or Additional Securities. 
  

	15.	Defaults and Remedies 

 If
an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities by notice to the Company, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable; provided, however, that so long as any Bank Indebtedness remains
outstanding, no such acceleration shall be effective until the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after the giving of written notice to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the day on which
any Bank Indebtedness is accelerated. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company
occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences. 







 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense and certain
other conditions are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Securities unless (i) such Holder
has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have
offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and
(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The
Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior
to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 

 

	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 


Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

  

	17.	No Recourse Against Others 


No director, officer, employee, incorporator or holder of any equity interests in the Company or of any Guarantor or any direct or
indirect parent corporation, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Securities, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. 
  

	18.	Authentication 

 This
Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security. 

 

	19.	Abbreviations 

 Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and
U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 
  

	20.	Governing Law 

 THIS
SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. 







 21. CUSIP Numbers; ISINs 

The Company has caused CUSIP numbers and ISINs to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers and ISINs
in notices of redemption as a convenience to the Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF EXCHANGE SECURITY] 

11.375% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 

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

  

	1.	Interest 


(a) COLUMBIA LAKE ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) promises to pay interest on
the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15,
2011.5 Interest on the Securities shall accrue from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, July 12,
20106 until the principal hereof is due. Interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to
the extent lawful. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

 The
Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled
after the record date and on or before the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender Securities to the Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and
interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any,
and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Security
(including principal, premium, if any, and interest), at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by 







 
mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or Paying Agent to
such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 

 

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 


Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

 

	4.	Indenture 

 The Company
issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of July 12, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. 

The Securities are senior secured second lien obligations of the Company. This Security is one of the Exchange Securities referred
to in the Indenture. The Securities include the Original Securities, any Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities issued in exchange for the Original Securities or any Additional Securities pursuant to the Indenture. The Original
Securities, any Additional Securities and any Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among
other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted
Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations
on the ability of the Company and each Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property. 

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Company
under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, the Guarantors have, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a second priority senior secured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
  

	5.	Optional Redemption 


Except as set forth in the following paragraphs, the Securities shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to
July 15, 2014. On July 15, 2014 or thereafter, the Securities shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at
the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on July 15 of the years set forth below:

 In addition, prior to July 15, 2014, the Company may redeem the Securities at its
option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Securities redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 In addition: 

(1) At any time and from time to time on or prior to July 15, 2013, the Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the
original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) with the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings (1) by the Company or (2) by any direct or
indirect parent of the Company to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of the Company or are used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company from it, at a redemption
price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount thereof) of 111.375%, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) must
remain outstanding after each such redemption; provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 90 days after the date on which any such Public Equity Offering is consummated upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’
notice mailed to each Holder of Securities being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. 

(2) At any time and from time to time during each of the 12-month periods commencing on July 15, in each of 2011, 2012 and
2013, the Company may redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) at a redemption price equal to 103.000% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided,
however, that notice of any such redemption must be mailed to each Holder of Securities being redeemed not less than 30 or more than 60 days prior to the redemption date and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Indenture. 
 Notice of any redemption described in clauses (1) and (2) above may be given prior to the completion
thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the relevant Public Equity Offering. 

 

	6.	Sinking Fund 

 The
Securities are not subject to any sinking fund. 
  

	7.	Notice of Redemption 


Notice of redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 above will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his, her or its registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay
the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on
and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 








	8.	Repurchase of Securities at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Sales 


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

In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase Securities upon the occurrence
of certain events. 
  

	9.	Ranking and Collateral 


The Securities and the Guarantees are secured by a second-priority security interest in the Collateral pursuant to certain Security
Documents. The Securities Liens upon any and all Collateral are, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, subordinate in ranking to all present and future first priority Liens and will be of equal ranking with all
present and future Liens securing Other Second-Lien Obligations as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. 
  

	10.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 


The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. A Holder
shall register the transfer of or exchange of Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be
redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to the mailing of a notice or redemption of Securities to be redeemed. 

 

	11.	Persons Deemed Owners 


The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

 

	12.	Unclaimed Money 

 If money
for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at their written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such
payment, the Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 

 

	13.	Amendment; Waiver 


Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or
the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities (voting as a single class) and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may
be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee
may 







 
amend the Indenture, Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Securities (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to provide for the
assumption by a Successor Company (with respect to the Company) of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Securities; (iii) to provide for the assumption by a Successor Company or Successor (with respect to any Restricted
Subsidiary that is Guarantor), as the case may be, of the obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture and its Guarantee; (iv) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee; (v) to make any change that
does not adversely affect the rights of the Holders in any material respect; (vi) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities (provided that the uncertificated Securities are issued in
registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); (vii) to add a Guarantee with respect to the Securities;
(viii) to add additional assets as Collateral; (ix) to release Collateral from the Lien pursuant to the Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement when permitted or required by the Indenture, the Security Documents
or the Intercreditor Agreement, (x) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; (xi) to modify the Security Documents and/or the Intercreditor
Agreement to secure First-Priority Lien Obligations and Other Second-Lien Obligations so long as such First-Priority Lien Obligations and Other Second-Lien Obligations are not prohibited by the provisions of the Credit Agreement or the Indenture,
(xii) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees, the Securities, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement to any provision of this Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of Notes” to the extent that
such provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, Guarantees, the Securities, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement; (xiii) to comply with the
requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; or (xiv) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Securities or Additional Securities. 

 

	14.	Defaults and Remedies 

 If
an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities by notice to the Company, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable; provided, however, that so long as any Bank Indebtedness remains
outstanding, no such acceleration shall be effective until the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after the giving of written notice to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreements and (ii) the day on which
any Bank Indebtedness is accelerated. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company
occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under
the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions are complied
with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Securities unless (i) such Holder has previously given the
Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee security
or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse
to follow 







 
any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal
liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 

 

	15.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 


Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

  

	16.	No Recourse Against Others 


No director, officer, employee, incorporator or holder of any equity interests in the Company or of any Guarantor or any direct or
indirect parent corporation, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Securities, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. 
  

	17.	Authentication 

 This
Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security. 

 

	18.	Abbreviations 

 Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and
U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 
 19. Governing Law 

THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES
OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. 
  

	20.	CUSIP Numbers; ISINs 

 The
Company has caused CUSIP numbers and ISINs to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers and ISINs in notices of redemption as a convenience to the Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of
such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

 

	21.	Discharge and Defeasance 


Subject to certain conditions and as set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all of its obligations
under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 

The Company will furnish to any Holder of Securities upon written request and without charge to the Holder a copy of the Indenture
which has in it the text of this Security.

“ISSUER”). 
 Upon transfer, the Securities would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows:

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that: 

(1) We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $100,000 principal amount of the Securities, and we are
acquiring the Securities not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of our investment in the Securities, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Securities in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic
risk of our or its investment. 
 (2) We understand that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act
and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Securities to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such
Securities prior to the date that is two years after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which either the Issuer or any affiliate of such Issuer was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale
Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) in the United States to a person whom we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in rule 144A under the Securities Act) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule
144A, (b) outside the United States in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (c) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder
(if applicable) or (d) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (a) through (d) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. In addition,
we will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any purchaser of the Security evidenced hereby of the resale restrictions set forth above. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction
Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Securities is proposed to be made to an institutional “accredited investor” prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the
transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Issuer and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2),
(3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Securities for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the
right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Securities pursuant to clause 1(b), 1(c) or 1(d) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
