trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”). 
 Each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other parties and for the

“Additional Assets” means: (1) any property, plant or equipment used or useful in a Related Business; (2) the
Capital Stock of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; or (3) Capital Stock constituting a minority interest in any Person that at
such time is a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that any such Restricted Subsidiary described in clause (2) or (3) above is primarily engaged in a Related Business. 

“Additional Securities” means Securities issued under this Indenture after the Issue Date and in compliance with
Section 2.13 and 4.03, it being understood that any Securities issued in exchange for or replacement of any Initial Security shall not be an Additional Security. 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, under the heading that represents
the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” (or any successor publication published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System that
establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity) under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” (or similar caption), for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue
(if no maturity is within three months before or after September 1, 2023, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be
interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such
yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date, in each case
calculated on the third Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date, plus 0.50%. 












 “Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person, directly or
indirectly, controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management

“Aggregate Related Business” means any Related Business operating in the aggregate products segment. For the purposes of this
definition, “aggregate” means the raw material used in the production of ready-mixed concrete. 
 “Applicable
Premium” means, with respect to a Security at any redemption date, the excess of (if any) (A) the present value at such redemption date of (1) the redemption price of such Security on September 1, 2023 (such redemption
price being described in the second paragraph of Section 5 of the Securities, exclusive of any accrued interest) plus (2) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Security through September 1, 2023 (but excluding
accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate, over (B) the principal amount of such Security on such redemption date, in each case, as calculated by the Company or on
behalf of the Company by such Person as the Company shall designate; provided that such calculation or the correction thereof shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee. 

“Application Period” means the 365 days after the receipt of any Net Available Cash from any Asset Disposition. 

“Asset Disposition” means any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition (or series of related sales, leases, transfers or

Restricted Subsidiary (other than directors’ qualifying shares or shares required by applicable law to be held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary); 

(2)    all or substantially all the assets of any division or line of business of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary; or 
 (3)    any other assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary outside

 other than, in the case of clauses (1), (2) and (3) above,
(A) a disposition by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to a Restricted Subsidiary; (B) for purposes of Section 4.06 only, (x) a disposition that constitutes a Restricted Payment
(or would constitute a Restricted Payment but for the exclusions from the definition thereof and its component definitions) and that is not prohibited by Section 4.04 and (y) a disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the
Company in accordance with Section 5.01; (C) a disposition of assets with a Fair Market Value of less than $20,000,000; (D) a disposition of cash or Temporary Cash Investments; (E) the creation of a Lien (but not the sale or other


  
 2 













 
disposition of the property subject to such Lien); (F) the sale or discount, in each case without recourse, of accounts receivable arising in the ordinary course of business, but only in
connection with the compromise or collection thereof; (G) disposals or replacements of obsolete, worn out, uneconomical or surplus property or equipment; (H) whether or not allowable under Section 1031 of the Code, any trade or

with Section 4.06; (I) the unwinding of any Hedging Obligations; (J) any sale and leaseback transactions permitted by this Indenture; (K) any surrender or waiver of contract rights or the settlement, release or surrender of contract,

or other securities of, an Unrestricted Subsidiary; and (P) any Royalty Interest created, issued or assumed in connection with the acquisition of properties containing aggregate reserves that are subject thereto (or created, issued or assumed

and maintain the related properties in a prudent manner or other customary standard, to deliver the associated production (if required), and to indemnify with respect to customary matters. 

“Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale/Leaseback Transaction means, as at the time of determination, the present value
(discounted at the interest rate borne by the Securities, compounded annually) of the total obligations of the lessee for rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (including any period for
which such lease has been extended); provided, however, that if such Sale/Leaseback Transaction results in a Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of Indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the definition
of “Capital Lease Obligation.” 
 “Average Life” means, as of the date of determination, with respect to any
Indebtedness, the quotient obtained by dividing: (1) the sum of the products of the numbers of years from the date of determination to the dates of each successive scheduled principal payment of or redemption or similar payment with respect to

Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries acquired since the Truck Appraisal Date, minus (y) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of trucks of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries that have been sold since the Truck Appraisal Date, minus
(z) 85% of the depreciation amount applicable to trucks of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that the trucks included in any calculation under this clause (c) shall include only those trucks that are eligible to be included

 “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

  
 5 













 “Commodity Agreement” means any commodity swap or any other similar

the period of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements of the Company are available to (y) Consolidated Interest Expense for such four fiscal quarters; provided, however, that: 

(1)    if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of
such period that remains outstanding or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, or both, then EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be
calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period; 

(2)    if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise
discharged any Indebtedness (each, a “Discharge”) since the beginning of such period or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio involves a Discharge of Indebtedness (in each case other
than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been or is to be permanently repaid and the related commitment terminated and not replaced) and (x) such Indebtedness is to be Discharged on the date of
such transaction or (y) an irrevocable notice of Discharge has been given on or prior to the date of such transaction (including a conditional notice that has become irrevocable as a result of the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
therein), then EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as if such Discharge had occurred on the first day of such period and as if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary had not earned the
interest income actually earned during such period in respect of cash or Temporary Cash Investments used to Discharge such Indebtedness; 

(3)    if, since the beginning of such period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any
Asset Disposition, then EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets that were the subject of such Asset Disposition for such period, or increased by an


  
 6 













 
amount equal to the EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated
Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary Discharged with respect to the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Asset Disposition for such period (or,
if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries
are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale); 
 (4)    if, since the beginning of such
period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets, including any acquisition of
assets occurring in connection with a transaction requiring a calculation to be made hereunder, which constitutes all or substantially all of an operating unit of a business, then EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be
calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period; and 

(5)    if, since the beginning of such period, any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary
or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Asset Disposition, any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (3)
or (4) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, then EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset
Disposition, Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period. 
 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma
effect is to be given to an acquisition of assets, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations
shall be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Company. 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 date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness, but if the remaining term of such Interest Rate
Agreement is less than 12 months, then such Interest Rate Agreement shall only be taken into account for that portion of the period equal to the remaining term thereof). If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect bears an interest
rate at the option of the Company, the interest rate shall be calculated by applying such optional rate chosen by the Company. 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 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 Company may designate. If any Indebtedness is incurred under a
revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness for the four fiscal quarters subject to the pro
forma calculation to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred solely for working capital purposes.

bond premium has otherwise reduced Consolidated Interest Expense; 
 (3)    capitalized interest; 

(4)    non-cash interest expense; provided, however,
that any non-cash interest expense or income attributable to the movement in the mark to market valuation of Hedging Obligations or other derivative instruments pursuant to GAAP shall be excluded from the

owed with respect to letters of credit and bankers’ acceptance financing;

aggregate amount of EBITDA for the period of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements of the Company are available; provided, however, that: 

(1)    if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of
such period that remains outstanding or if the 

  
 11 













 
transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, or both, then EBITDA for such period and the amount of secured
Indebtedness, cash and Temporary Cash Investments shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period; 

(2)    if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has Discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of
such period or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio involves a Discharge of Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such
Indebtedness has been or is to be permanently repaid and the related commitment terminated and not replaced) and (x) such Indebtedness is to be Discharged on the date of such transaction or (y) an irrevocable notice of Discharge has been
given on or prior to the date of such transaction (including a conditional notice that has become irrevocable as a result of the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein), then EBITDA for such period and the amount of secured Indebtedness,
cash and Temporary Cash Investments shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as if such Discharge had occurred on the first day of such period and as if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary had not earned the interest income actually earned
during such period in respect of cash or Temporary Cash Investments used to Discharge such Indebtedness; 

(3)    if, since the beginning of such period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any
Asset Disposition, then EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets that were the subject of such Asset Disposition for such period, or increased by an amount equal to
the EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for such period; 
 (4)    if, since the beginning
of such period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets, including any acquisition

forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period; and 

(5)    if, since the beginning of such period, any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary
or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Asset Disposition, any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (3)
or (4) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, then EBITDA for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset Disposition, Investment or acquisition had

 12 













 
therewith, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Company. 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 date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any
Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness, but if the remaining term of such Interest Rate Agreement is less than 12 months, then such Interest Rate Agreement shall only be taken into account for that portion of the period equal to the
remaining term thereof). If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect bears an interest rate at the option of the Company, the interest rate shall be calculated by applying such optional rate chosen by the Company. 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 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 Company may designate. If any Indebtedness is incurred under a revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated based on
the average daily balance of such Indebtedness for the four fiscal quarters subject to the pro forma calculation to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred solely for working capital purposes.

 Article 2 

The Securities 
 SECTION
2.01.    Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Securities are set forth in the Rule 144A/Regulation S Appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix”) which is hereby incorporated in, and
expressly made part of, this Indenture. The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Appendix which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this
Indenture. The 

  
 36 













 
Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend
or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Securities set forth in the Appendix are part of the terms of this Indenture. 

SECTION 2.02.    Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual,
facsimile or electronic 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. 
 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. 

On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver $400,000,000 of 5.125% Senior Notes Due 2029 and, at any time and from time to
time thereafter, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities for original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in such order, in each case upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer and either
an Assistant Treasurer or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated and, in the case of an issuance
of Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.13 after the Issue Date, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.03. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Securities. 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 2.03.    Registrar
and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more
additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. 
 The Company shall enter into an
appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The
Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company 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 Company or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary incorporated or organized within The United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent. 

  
 37 













 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with
the Securities. 
 SECTION 2.04.    Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due date of
the principal and interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in
writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company
in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company 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 the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 

SECTION 2.05.    Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the
most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall 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 2.06.    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. When a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the
transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a
co-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 Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s or co-registrar’s request. The Company 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 (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or
transfer pursuant to Sections 3.06, 4.06, 4.09 and 9.05). The Company 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 any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. 

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-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 on such Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 38 













 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 2.07.    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 Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405
of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and
the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may
charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security. 
 Every replacement Security is an additional Obligation of the Company. 

SECTION 2.08.    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 and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the
Security, but in certain circumstances, Section 11.06 provides that certain Securities shall be disregarded for certain purposes. 
 If
a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code). 
 If the 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,
then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 SECTION
2.09.    Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company 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 Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and deliver them in
exchange for temporary Securities. 
 SECTION 2.10.    Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver
Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the 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 and destroy
(subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the
Trustee to deliver canceled Securities to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

  
 39 













 SECTION 2.11.    Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a
payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a
subsequent special record date. The Company 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 to each Holder a notice that states the special record
date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 
 SECTION 2.12.    CUSIP Numbers, ISINs,
etc. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case 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 and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
The Company shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs or “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Securities. 

SECTION 2.13.    Issuance of Additional Securities. After the Issue Date, the Company shall be entitled, subject to
its compliance with Section 4.03, to issue Additional Securities under this Indenture, which Securities shall have identical terms as the Initial Securities, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price. All the Securities
issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, except that (i) Additional Securities that do not have the same transfer
restrictions as other Securities may be assigned a separate “CUSIP” number and (ii) a separate “CUSIP” number will be issued for Additional Securities that are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with any other
Securities issued under this Indenture. 
 With respect to any Additional Securities, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of the
Board of Directors and an Officers’ Certificate, and, if the Company so elects, a supplemental indenture, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 

(1)    the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities to be authenticated and delivered
pursuant to this Indenture and the provision of Section 4.03 that the Company is relying on to issue such Additional Securities; and 

(2)    the issue price, the issue date and the “CUSIP” number of such Additional Securities.

 Article 3 

Redemption 
 SECTION
3.01.    Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date, the principal amount of Securities to be
redeemed and the paragraph of the Securities pursuant to which the redemption will occur. 
 The Company shall give each notice to the
Trustee provided for in this Section at least 15 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to
the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. 
 SECTION 3.02.    Selection of Securities
to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select Securities (a) if the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of such
exchange, (b) if the Securities are held by The Depository Trust Company and The Depository Trust Company prescribes a method of selection, in accordance with such procedures and (c) on a pro rata basis to the extent
practicable. 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 principal amounts of $2,000 or any greater integral multiple of $1,000 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 Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed. 
 SECTION
3.03.    Notice of Redemption. At least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Securities, the Company shall send a notice of redemption to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such
Holder’s registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
Any inadvertent defect in the notice of redemption, including an inadvertent failure to give notice, to any Holder selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Security redeemed in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture. 
 The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state: 

(1)    the redemption date; 

(2)    the redemption price; 

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

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

  
 41 













 (5)    if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are
to be redeemed, the identification and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed; 

(6)    that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, or a condition precedent to
such redemption is not satisfied, interest on Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

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

(9)    if the notice of redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent as provided in
Section 3.04, a statement to that effect and a description of such condition or conditions. 
 At the Company’s request, the
Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section. 

SECTION 3.04.    Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is sent, Securities called for
redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice; provided that any notice of redemption, including a notice of redemption sent in connection with a Qualified Equity Offering, other
securities offering or any other financing, or a transaction (or a series of related transactions) that constitutes a Change of Control, may be given, at the Company’s discretion, prior to the consummation of any such financing or other
transaction, and may be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including consummation of the related financing or other transaction. If a redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, at the Company’s
discretion, the specified redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be
satisfied or waived. Such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions precedent shall not have been satisfied or waived by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any
time in our discretion if the Company reasonably believes that any or all of such conditions precedent will not be satisfied. Unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or a condition precedent to such redemption is not satisfied,
interest on Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, and accrued and
unpaid 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 related interest payment date), and such Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee. 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
3.05.    Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to or on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a 

  
 42 













 
Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on
that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. 

SECTION 3.06.    Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a replacement Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 

Article 4

SECTION 4.01.    Payment of Securities. The Company 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. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money
sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due. 
 The Company 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 to the extent lawful. 
 SECTION
4.02.    SEC Reports. So long as the Securities are outstanding, the Company shall file with the SEC, subject to the next sentence, and provide the Trustee and Holders with such annual and other reports (i) at any
time that the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as are specified in such sections and (ii) at any other time, on Forms 10-Q and 10-K and all current reports on Form 8-K that would be required if the Company was at such time subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, in each case, such reports to be so filed and provided at the times specified for the filings of such reports under such Sections, after giving effect to all applicable extensions and cure periods, and containing all the information,
audit reports and exhibits required for such reports. If, at any time, the Company is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company shall nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence with the SEC within the time periods required, after giving effect to all applicable extensions and cure periods, unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Company agrees that it shall not take any
action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept such filings for any reason, the Company shall post the reports specified in the preceding sentence on its website
within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC, after giving effect to all applicable extensions and cure periods. 

At any time that any of the Company’s Subsidiaries are Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information
required by the preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company.

 In addition, at any time when the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall furnish to the Holder of the Securities and to prospective investors, upon the requests of such Holders, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act so long as the Securities are not freely transferable under the Securities Act. 
 This Section 4.02 will be deemed not
to impose any duty on the Company under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related SEC rules that would not otherwise be applicable. 

The Company shall be deemed to have furnished such reports to the Trustee and the Holders if it has filed such reports with the SEC using the
EDGAR (or any successor) filing system and such reports are publicly available through such filing system. 
 SECTION
4.03.    Limitation on Indebtedness. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company or
any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to Incur Indebtedness if, on the date of such Incurrence and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio exceeds 2.00 to 1.00 (any such Indebtedness
Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) being herein referred to as “Coverage Indebtedness”).  

(b)    Notwithstanding Section 4.03(a), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall be entitled to Incur any or
all of the following Indebtedness (any such Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) being herein referred to as “Permitted Indebtedness”): 

(1)    Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to one or more Credit
Facilities; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any such Incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness Incurred under, and then outstanding under, this clause (1) does not exceed the greater of (A)
$550,000,000 and (B) the Borrowing Base at the time of such Incurrence; 
 (2)    Indebtedness owed
to and held by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or
any subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or any pledge of such Indebtedness constituting a Permitted Lien (but not foreclosure thereon)) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the
Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the obligor thereon not permitted by this clause (2), (B) if the Company Incurs such Indebtedness owing to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Indebtedness is expressly
subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Securities and (C) if a Subsidiary Guarantor Incurs such Indebtedness owing to a Person that is not the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, such
Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee; provided further that nothing in the foregoing clause (B) or (C)
shall prohibit the repayment of such Indebtedness at maturity or otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; 

  
 44 













 (3)    the Initial Securities (excluding any Additional

(5)    Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary Incurred and outstanding on or prior to the date on which
such Subsidiary was acquired by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or secured by a Lien on an asset acquired by the Company or by a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness Incurred in connection with, or to provide all or any portion of
the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Subsidiary or such asset was so acquired); provided, however, that (i) on the date of such acquisition
and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the Company would have been entitled to Incur at least $1.00 of Coverage Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is greater than the Consolidated
Coverage Ratio immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction, and (ii) the Company may, if it so elects, treat as Indebtedness outstanding on the date of acquisition of any such Restricted Subsidiary the amount of any undrawn
commitment to fund Indebtedness that such Restricted Subsidiary was entitled to borrow immediately prior to the time of such acquisition; provided that, in connection with any such election, such undrawn commitment shall be treated as outstanding
Indebtedness for all purposes under this Indenture, including for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Coverage Ratio (including in Section 4.03(a) above), for so long as such commitment remains outstanding; 

(6)    Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any Coverage Indebtedness or any Permitted Indebtedness
Incurred pursuant to clause (3), (4), (5), this clause (6), (7), (11), (12) or (17) of this Section 4.03(b); provided, however, that to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness directly or indirectly Refinances
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Incurred pursuant to clause (5) of this Section 4.03(b), such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be Incurred only by such Subsidiary, the Company or the Company and such Subsidiary; 

(7)    Hedging Obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business designed to manage interest rates or
interest rate risk, to protect against fluctuations in currency exchange rates or to manage commodity prices, and not for the purpose of speculation;

Restricted Subsidiary or relating to liabilities, obligations or guarantees Incurred in the ordinary course of business; 

(9)    Indebtedness arising (i) from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check,
draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the 

  
 45 













 
ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of its Incurrence and (ii) in connection with endorsement of
instruments for deposit in the ordinary course of business; 
 (10)    the Guarantee by the Company or
any Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor that was permitted to be Incurred by another provision of this Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is
subordinated to the Securities, then the Guarantee thereof Incurred pursuant to this clause (10) shall be subordinated to the same extent as the Indebtedness being Guaranteed; 

(11)    Purchase Money Indebtedness Incurred to finance the acquisition by the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of assets in the ordinary course of business, in an aggregate principal amount which, on the date of such Incurrence, when added together with the amount of Indebtedness previously Incurred pursuant to this clause (11) and then

(12)    indemnification, Post-Closing Payments or similar obligations, in each case, Incurred or assumed in
connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, other than Guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any
portion of such business, assets or Capital Stock for the purpose of financing any such acquisition; provided that, in the case of a disposition, the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such obligations outstanding under this clause
(12) shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; 

(13)    Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred in the ordinary course of
business under guarantees of Indebtedness of suppliers, licensees, franchisees or customers in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20,000,000 at any time outstanding;

to unfunded or underfunded pension plans and other employee benefit plan obligations and liabilities to the extent they are permitted to remain unfunded or underfunded under applicable law; 

(16)    Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount which, when
taken together with all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to, and outstanding on the date of such Incurrence under, this clause (16) does not exceed the greater of (A) $125,000,000 and (B) 17.5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the

 46 













 
than Indebtedness Incurred in connection with, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, any such transaction or series of transactions);
provided, however, the Company may, if it so elects, treat as Indebtedness outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation the amount of any undrawn commitment to fund Indebtedness that such other Person was entitled to borrow
immediately prior to the time of such merger; provided that, in connection with any such election, such undrawn commitment shall be treated as outstanding Indebtedness for all purposes under this Indenture, including for purposes of
calculating the Consolidated Coverage Ratio (including in Section 5.01(a)(3)), for so long as such commitment remains outstanding; 

(18)    Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary supported by one or more letters of credit
issued under a Credit Facility in accordance with clause (1) of this Section 4.03(b); provided that such Indebtedness is in a principal amount not in excess of the stated amount of such letter(s) of credit; 

(19)    Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to current or former officers, directors,

Section 4.04(b)(4) in an amount not to exceed $20,000,000 at any time outstanding; and 

(20)    Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount which, when taken together
with all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to, and outstanding on the date of such Incurrence under, this clause (20) does not exceed $65,000,000. 

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall Incur any Indebtedness
pursuant to Section 4.03(b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to Refinance any Subordinated Obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor unless either (i) such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to
the Securities or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations or (ii) such Refinancing shall constitute a Restricted Payment made pursuant to Section 4.04(a) that reduces the amount
available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a)(3) by the principal amount of such Subordinated Obligations. 

(d)    For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03: (1) any Indebtedness outstanding on the
Issue Date under the Revolving Credit Agreement after the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities will be treated as Incurred on the Issue Date under clause (1) of Section 4.03(b); (2) in the event that an item
of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) at the time of
Incurrence and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of the above clauses; (3) the Company shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of
Indebtedness described above and, in that connection, the Company shall be entitled to treat a portion of such Indebtedness as Coverage Indebtedness and the balance of such Indebtedness as an item or items of Permitted Indebtedness; and (4) any
Indebtedness originally classified as Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or one of the clauses in Section 4.03(b) (other than Indebtedness described in 

  
 47 













 
clause (1) of this Section 4.03(d), if any) may later be reclassified from time to time by the Company such that it will be deemed as having been Incurred as Coverage Indebtedness
pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or as Indebtedness permitted pursuant to another clause in Section 4.03(b), as applicable, to the extent that such reclassified Indebtedness could be Incurred pursuant thereto at the time of such
reclassification. 
 (e)    For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the
Incurrence of Indebtedness or any other covenant, limitation or ratio in this Indenture, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency
exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this “Limitation
on Indebtedness” covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded, nor shall any other covenant, limitation or ratio in this Indenture be deemed to be breached or exceeded, solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

 SECTION 4.04.    Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make a Restricted Payment if at the time the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment:

 (3)    the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other
Restricted Payments since the Start Date (all payment calculations being made as if the provisions of this Section 4.04 had been in effect as of the Start Date and at all times thereafter) would exceed the sum of (without duplication): 

(A)    50% of the Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from
April 1, 2016 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending at least 45 days prior to the date of such Restricted Payment (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit); plus 

(B)     100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds or Fair Market Value of any asset (other than cash)
received by the Company either (x) from the issuance or sale of its Qualified Capital Stock subsequent to the Start Date or (y) as a contribution in respect of its Qualified Capital Stock from its shareholders subsequent to the Start Date,

Indebtedness of the Company (other than Indebtedness owing to a Subsidiary) is reduced upon the conversion or exchange subsequent to the Start Date of any Indebtedness of the Company convertible or exchangeable for Qualified Capital Stock of the
Company (less the amount of any cash, or the fair value of any other property, distributed by the Company upon such conversion or exchange); provided, however, that the foregoing amount shall not exceed the Net Cash Proceeds received
by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the sale of such Indebtedness (excluding Net Cash Proceeds (i) to the extent constituting Excluded Contributions and (ii) from sales to a Subsidiary of the Company or to an employee stock
ownership plan or a trust established by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees); plus 

(D)    an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of cash and the Fair Market Value of any
asset (other than cash) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Start Date with respect to Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any Person (other than the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) and resulting from repurchases, repayments or redemptions of such Investments or repayments of loans or advances and releases of guarantees that constitute such Investments, in each case, by any Person, and
dividends or other distributions or payments with respect to, and proceeds realized on the sale of, such Investments, and (y) in the event that subsequent to the Start Date the Company redesignates an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted
Subsidiary, the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted
Subsidiary (other than to the extent the Company’s Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary constituted a Permitted Investment); provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any such Person or
Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments (excluding Permitted Investments) previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

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

(1)    any Restricted Payment made out of the Net Cash Proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, or
made by conversion or exchange for, or for consideration consisting only of, Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or a substantially concurrent cash capital contribution received by the Company from one or more of its shareholders with
respect to its Qualified Capital Stock; provided, however, that (A) such Restricted Payment shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments and (B) the Net Cash Proceeds from such sale or such cash
capital contribution (to the extent so used for such Restricted Payment) shall be excluded from the calculation of amounts under Section 4.04(a)(3)(B); 

(2)    any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of

Obligations within 65 days after the date of declaration thereof or call for redemption if, at such date of declaration or call for redemption, such payment or redemption was permitted by the provisions of Section 4.04(a) (the declaration of
such payment will be deemed a Restricted Payment under Section 4.04(a) as of the date of declaration and the payment itself will be deemed to have been paid on such date of declaration and will not also be deemed a Restricted Payment under
Section 4.04(a)); provided, however, that any Restricted Payment made on or after the Start Date in reliance on this clause (3) shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(3)
only once;

individuals), pursuant to the terms of the agreements (including employment agreements) or plans (or amendments thereto) approved by the Board of Directors under which such individuals purchase or sell or are granted the option to purchase or sell,

been applied to the payment of Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (4); provided further, however, that such Restricted Payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; 

(5)    the declaration and payments of dividends on Disqualified Stock issued pursuant to
Section 4.03; provided, however, that, at the time of payment of such dividend, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or result therefrom); provided further, however, that such dividends shall be
excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; 
 (6)    repurchases, redemptions and
other acquisitions and retirements of Capital Stock (i) occurring or deemed to occur upon the acquisition or exercise of stock options or other similar stock-based awards under equity plans, warrants or other Capital Stock if such Capital Stock

Company’s repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of warrants existing as of the Start Date with respect to its Capital Stock; provided, however, that (A) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payments shall not
exceed $15,000,000 and (B) such Restricted Payments made on or after the Start Date shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments. 

(c)    If any Person in which an Investment is made, which Investment constitutes a Restricted Payment when made,
thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture, all such Investments previously made in such Person shall no longer be counted as Restricted Payments for purposes of calculating the amount of Restricted Payments
pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(3). 
 SECTION 4.05.    Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted
Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to
(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or
liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on other Capital Stock shall be deemed to not be a restriction on the ability to pay dividends or make other distributions on Capital Stock), (b) make any
loans or advances to the Company or (c) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company, except: 

(1)    with respect to clauses (a), (b) and (c), 

(A)    any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement in effect at or entered into on the Issue
Date, including the Revolving Credit Agreement or the Delayed Draw Credit Agreement; 
 (B)    any
encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement relating to any Indebtedness Incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary on or prior to the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by the Company
(other than Indebtedness Incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a
Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Company) and outstanding on such date; 
 (C)    any
encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a Refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in Section 4.05(1)(A) or (B) or this clause (C) or contained in any amendment to an agreement
referred to in Section 4.05(1)(A) or (B) or this clause (C); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such refinancing agreement or amendment
are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company (as determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment) than encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in such predecessor
agreements; 

  
 52 













 (D)    any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a
Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary (including by merger or consolidation) pending the closing of such
transaction; 
 (E)    any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to applicable law, rule, regulation or
order; 
 (F)    restrictions on cash, cash equivalents, Temporary Cash Investments or other deposits or
net worth imposed under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, including such restrictions imposed by customers or insurance, surety or bonding companies; 

(G)    any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Foreign Subsidiary entered into the ordinary course
of business or pursuant to the terms of Indebtedness that was Incurred by such Foreign Subsidiary in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; 

(H)    provisions contained in any license, permit or other accreditation with a regulatory authority
entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (I)    provisions in agreements or instruments that
prohibit the payment or making of dividends or other distributions other than on a pro rata basis; 

(J)    customary supermajority voting provisions and other customary provisions with respect to the
disposition or distribution of earnings or other assets, each contained in corporate charters, bylaws, stockholders’ agreements, limited liability company agreements, partnership agreements, joint venture agreements and other similar agreements
entered in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (K)    any
encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements governing or relating to Royalty Interests made in the ordinary course of business; 

(L)    encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of other Indebtedness (including Hedging
Obligations), Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03 and either (1) the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in such Indebtedness,
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock are not materially less favorable to the Company, taken as a whole, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, than the provisions contained in the Revolving Credit Agreement as in effect on the
Issue Date or (2) any such encumbrance or restriction contained in such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock does not prohibit (except upon a default or an event of default thereunder) the


  
 53 













 
payment of dividends in an amount sufficient, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, taking into account other available sources, to make scheduled payments of cash interest on
the Securities when due; and 
 (M)    any encumbrance or restriction arising pursuant to a Cash
Management Arrangement; 
 (2)    with respect to clause (c) only, 

(A)    any encumbrance or restriction consisting of customary nonassignment provisions in leases, licenses
or similar agreements to the extent such provisions restrict the transfer of the lease, license or similar agreement or the property subject thereto; 

(B)    any encumbrance or restriction contained in security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness
of a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such encumbrance or restriction restricts the transfer of the property or assets subject to such security agreements or mortgages; 

(C)    pursuant to customary provisions restricting dispositions of real property interests set forth in
any reciprocal easement agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; and 

(D)    encumbrances and restrictions contained in contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business
not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value, property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken
as a whole. 
 In each case set forth above, notwithstanding any stated limitation on the assets or property that may be
subject to such encumbrance or restriction, an encumbrance or restriction on a specified asset or property or group or type of assets or property may also apply to all improvements, repairs, additions, attachments and accessions thereto, assets and
property affixed or appurtenant thereto, parts, replacements and substitutions therefor, and all products and proceeds thereof, including dividends, distributions, interest and increases in respect thereof. 

SECTION 4.06.    Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless: 

(1)    the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset
Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration) of the shares and other assets subject to such Asset Disposition (in each case, such Fair Market
Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition); 
 (2)    at
least 75% of the consideration thereof received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Temporary Cash Investments; 

  
 54 













 (3)    if and to the extent that the Company so elects,
the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition may be applied by the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) within 365 days of the receipt of such Net Available Cash: 

(A)     to prepay, repay or purchase Senior Indebtedness; provided, however, that in
connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (A), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall permanently retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be
permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased; provided further that if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce any unsecured Senior Indebtedness, the Company will
equally and ratably reduce Indebtedness under the Securities by making an offer to all Holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, the pro rata principal amount of
the Securities, such offer to be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Disposition Offer but without any further limitation in amount; or 

(B)    to reduce Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor;
provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (B), such Restricted Subsidiary shall permanently retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related loan
commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, purchased or otherwise retired; 

in each case of (A) and (B) other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; or 

(C)    to acquire Additional Assets within 365 days of the receipt of such Net Available Cash;
provided that, in the case of this clause (C), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such
commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Available Cash will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and if any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled
or terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds; or 

(D)    a combination of the foregoing; and 

(4)    Any Net Available Cash from the Asset Dispositions covered by this Section 4.06(a) that is not
invested or applied, or committed to be invested or applied, as provided in Section 4.06(a)(3) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50,000,000, within 30 days
thereof, the Company shall make an offer to all Holders (each, an “Asset Disposition Offer”), and, if required by the terms of any other Senior Indebtedness, to the holders of such other


  
 55 













 
Senior Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Securities and any such other Senior Indebtedness 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 of the Securities and such other Senior Indebtedness, in each case, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to, without duplication, the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing such other Senior Indebtedness, as
applicable, and, with respect to the Securities, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will commence an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within 30 days after the
date that Excess Proceeds exceed $50,000,000 by providing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to such Net Available Cash from an Asset
Disposition by making an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to such Net Available Cash prior to the expiration of the Application Period. 

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Securities and such other Senior Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn
pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Securities or other Senior
Indebtedness tendered in any Asset Disposition Offer by Holders and holders or lenders of other Senior Indebtedness exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company shall select the Securities and such other Senior Indebtedness to be purchased on
a pro rata basis based on the principal amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed; provided that no Securities or other Senior Indebtedness shall be selected and purchased in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any
Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (b)    The Company 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 4.06. To the extent that the provisions
of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.06, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall be deemed not to have breached its obligations under this
Section 4.06 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. 
 (c)    In the event of the
transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in accordance with this Indenture, the successor shall be deemed to have sold for cash at Fair Market Value the
assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.06, and shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.06 with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Disposition (with
such Fair Market Value being deemed to be Net Available Cash for such purpose). 
 (d)    Pending application of Net
Available Cash pursuant to this Section 4.06, such Net Available Cash may be invested in Temporary Cash Investments or applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit indebtedness. For the purposes of Section 4.06(a)(2), and for no other
purpose, the following are deemed to be Temporary Cash Investments: (1) the 

  
 56 













 
assumption or discharge of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than obligations in respect of Disqualified Stock of the Company or Preferred Stock of a
Subsidiary Guarantor) or any Indebtedness or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor and the release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such
Asset Disposition; (2) any securities or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days after such Asset
Disposition, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; (3) the Fair Market Value of (i) any assets (other than securities) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to be used by it in the Related Business,
(ii) Capital Stock in a Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary or in a Person engaged in the Related Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately upon the acquisition of such Person by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii); and (4) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair
Market Value, taken together with the Fair Market Value of all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (4) that is at that time outstanding, not greater than 7.5% of
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash
Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value. 

(e)    All references herein to “Net Available Cash” and “Excess Proceeds” shall be deemed to mean
cash in an amount equal to the amount of Net Available Cash or Excess Proceeds, as applicable, but not necessarily the actual cash received from the relevant Asset Disposition. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to segregate,
trace or otherwise identify Net Available Cash or Excess Proceeds, it being agreed that cash is fungible and that the Company’s obligations under this Section 4.06 may be satisfied by the application of funds from other sources. 

SECTION 4.07.    Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service) with (which term, for purposes of this
Section 4.07, shall include “for the benefit of” where appropriate in the context) any Affiliate of the Company that involves an amount in excess of $10,000,000 (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless: 

(1)     the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time of the Affiliate Transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate; and 

(2)    if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $30,000,000, the terms of the
Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of the non-employee directors of the Company disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction have determined in good faith that the
criteria set forth in clause (1) are satisfied and have approved the relevant Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors. 

  
 57 













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

(1)     (i) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.04 or any Permitted
Investment (or any Affiliate Transaction that would constitute a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment but for the exclusions from such definitions and their component definitions) and (ii) any Permitted Lien; 

(2)    any employment agreement or other employment compensation plan in existence on the Issue Date or
entered into thereafter in the ordinary course of business, including any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock
ownership plans approved by the Board of Directors; 
 (3)    reasonable compensation (including bonuses)
and other benefits (including retirement, health, stock option and other benefit plans), indemnification arrangements, employment and severance agreements provided on behalf of directors, officers and employees of the Company or its Restricted
Subsidiaries, in each case, approved by the Board of Directors or, in the case of indemnification arrangements, consistent with applicable charter, by-law or statutory provisions; 

(4)    any transaction with the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or joint venture or similar entity that
would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Restricted Subsidiary, joint venture or similar entity; 

(5)    the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company; 

(6)    transactions with customers, clients, vendors, suppliers or other purchasers or sellers of goods or
services, in each case in the ordinary course of business (including pursuant to joint venture agreements); 

(7)    any transaction on arm’s-length terms with any non-Affiliate that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transaction; 

(8)    any agreement as in effect on the Issue Date and described in the Offering Memorandum and any
amendments, renewals or extensions of any such agreement (so long as such amendments, renewals or extensions, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries) and the transactions evidenced thereby;

 (9)    reasonable advances to or reimbursements of employees for moving expenses, travel expenses and
similar expenditures, in each case, in the ordinary course of business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; and 

(10)    any Affiliate Transaction with respect to which the Board of Directors shall have received a
written opinion from an Independent Qualified Party to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or is not materially less favorable to the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person who was not an Affiliate. 

  
 58 













 SECTION 4.08.    Limitation on Line of Business. The Company
shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Related Business, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as a whole. 

SECTION 4.09.    Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the
right to require that the Company repurchase such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of repurchase and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in Section 4.09(b). 

(b)    Not later than 30 days following any Change of Control unless the Company has previously or concurrently sent
a redemption notice with respect to all outstanding Securities as described under Section 3.03, the Company shall send a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating: 

(1)    that a Change of Control has occurred (or is expected to occur) and that such Holder has the right
to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); 

(2)    the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control (including information with
respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization, in each case after giving effect to such Change of Control); 

(3)    the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the
date such notice is sent); 
 (4)    if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of
Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control, and, if applicable, stating that, in the Company’s discretion, the purchase date may be delayed until such time as any or all such
conditions shall be satisfied, or that such purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the purchase date, or by the purchase date as so delayed; and 

(5)    the instructions, as determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 4.09, that a
Holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased. 
 (c)    Holders electing to have a Security purchased
will be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election
if the Trustee or the Company receives, not later than one Business Day 

  
 59 













 
prior to the purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile or electronic transmission or letter 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 its election to have such Security purchased. 

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

(e)    In the event a Change of Control occurs at a time when the Company is prohibited by the terms of the Revolving
Credit Agreement or the Delayed Draw Credit Agreement from purchasing the Securities, prior to providing the notice to Holders described in Section 4.09(b), but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall:

 (1) repay in full all Indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement or the Delayed Draw Credit Agreement, as applicable,
and terminate all commitments thereunder or offer to repay in full all such Indebtedness and repay the indebtedness of each lender who has accepted such offer (and terminate such lender’s commitment); or 

(2) obtain the requisite consent under the Revolving Credit Agreement or the Delayed Draw Credit Agreement, as applicable, to permit the
purchase of the Securities as described above. 
 The Company must first comply with the first sentence of this Section 4.09(e) before
it shall be required to purchase Securities in the event of a Change of Control; provided, however, that the Company’s failure to comply with the first sentence of this Section 4.09(e) or to make a Change of Control Offer
because of any such failure shall constitute a default described in Section 6.01(4) (and not under Section 6.01(2)). 

(f)    The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party
makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and
not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and may be conditional upon such Change of Control if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time
of making of the Change of Control Offer. 
 (g)    The Company 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. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of this Section, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall be deemed not to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue of its compliance with such securities
laws or regulations. 

  
 60 













 (h)    If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the
Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 15 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (provided that such notice is given not more than
30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above) to redeem all Securities that remain outstanding following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above at a purchase price in cash
equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase of such remaining Securities (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant
interest payment date). 
 SECTION 4.10.    Limitation on Liens. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not
permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, Incur or permit to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any nature whatsoever on any of its properties (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or
thereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness, other than any Initial Lien if (i) the Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case such Initial Lien secures any
Subordinated Obligation) the Indebtedness secured by such Initial Lien or (ii) such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien. 

(b)    Any such Lien thereby created securing the Securities or any Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.10(a)
shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged (i) upon the release and discharge of each Initial Lien to which it relates, (ii) in the case of such Lien securing any such Subsidiary Guarantee, upon the termination and
discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or (iii) upon any sale, exchange or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of the Company of the property or assets secured by such Initial Lien. 

SECTION 4.11.    Future Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary that enters into
a Guarantee of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary that Guarantees only Indebtedness Incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary) to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee Agreement pursuant to
which such Restricted Subsidiary will Guarantee payment of the Securities on a senior basis on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in Article 10 of this Indenture and applicable to the other Subsidiary Guarantors, as well as an Opinion
of Counsel that such Guarantee Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary. 

SECTION 4.12.    Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the
end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the Company they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the
signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

  
 61 













 SECTION 4.13.    Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of
the Trustee, the Company will 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. 

Article 5 
 Successor Company

 SECTION 5.01.    When Company May Merge or Transfer Assets. (a) The Company shall not consolidate
with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless: 

(1)    the Company shall be the surviving corporation or the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the
“Successor Company”) shall be a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the
Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental thereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this
Indenture; provided that if such Person is a limited liability company or a limited partnership, such Person will form a Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is a corporation and cause such Wholly Owned Subsidiary to become a co-issuer of the Securities; 
 (2)    immediately after giving
pro forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such
Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(3)    immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, either (A) the
Successor Company would be able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Coverage Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Successor Company is greater than the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the
Company immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction; and 
 (4)    the Successor Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture; 

provided, however, that clause (3) will not be applicable to (A) a Restricted Subsidiary consolidating with, merging into or transferring
all or part of its properties and assets to the Company (so long as no Capital Stock of the Company is distributed to any Person) or (B) the Company merging with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company
in another jurisdiction and achieving the benefits thereof. 
 For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, lease, conveyance,
assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of


  
 62 













 
such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of
the properties and assets of the Company. 
 The Successor Company shall be the successor to the Company and shall succeed to, and be
substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantees and the predecessor Company, except in the case of a lease, shall be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and
interest on the Securities. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, Subsidiaries of any Successor Company shall, upon any transaction subject

(1)    except in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor (x) that has been, or will be as a result of a

 Article 6 

Defaults and Remedies 

SECTION 6.01.    Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if: 

(1)    the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any Security when the same becomes due and
payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (2)    the Company defaults in the
payment of principal of any Security when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required purchase (other than as set forth in Section 4.09(e)), upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

 (3)    the Company fails to comply with Section 5.01; 

(4)    the Company fails to comply (i) with Section 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09,
4.10 or 4.11 (other than a failure to purchase Securities when required under Section 4.06 or 4.09, except as set forth in Section 4.09(e)) and such failure continues for 30 days after the notice specified below or (ii) with
Section 4.02 and such failure continues for 120 days after the notice specified below; 
 (5)    the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor fails to comply with any of its other agreements contained in the Securities, this Indenture (other than those referred to in clause (1), (2), (3) or (4) above) and such failure continues for 60
days after the notice specified below; 
 (6)    Indebtedness of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor
or any Significant Subsidiary is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $50,000,000;

 (7)    the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy
Law: 
 (A)    commences a voluntary case; 

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

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

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

or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; 

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

(A)    is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

(B)    appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its
property; or 

  
 64 













 (C)    orders the winding up or liquidation of the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary; 
 or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws, and, in each case under this
clause (8), the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; 
 (9)    any
judgment or decree for the payment of money in excess of $50,000,000 (in excess of amounts covered by insurance policies issued by reputable and solvent insurance companies and as to which the relevant insurer has not disclaimed responsibility) is
entered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, remains outstanding for a period of 60 consecutive days following such judgment and is not discharged, waived or stayed; or 

(10)    any Subsidiary Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other
than in accordance with the terms of such Subsidiary Guarantee) or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee. 

The foregoing will 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 (4) or (5) shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified 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 Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence
thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default under clause (3), (6), (9) or (10) and any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of
Default under clause (4) or (5), its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Any
default for the failure to deliver any report within the time periods prescribed in Section 4.02 or to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the subsequent delivery
of any such report, notice or certificate, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified. 
 SECTION
6.02.    Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice
to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon
such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable 

  
 65 













 
immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the principal of and interest on all the
Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities by notice
to the Trustee may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment
of principal or interest that has become due solely because of such acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

(b)    In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (6) above, such Event of Default and all consequences
thereof 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, (x) the Indebtedness or Guarantee that is the basis for such Event of
Default has been discharged, (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. 
 SECTION 6.03.    Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. 

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. All available remedies are cumulative. 
 SECTION 6.04.    Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to
Section 9.02(c), the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing 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 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, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 

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

  
 66 













 SECTION 6.06.    Limitation on Suits. 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: 

(1)    such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 

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

(5)    the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee
a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 
 A Holder may not use this
Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
 SECTION
6.07.    Rights of 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 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(1) or
(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful)
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 and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its
property 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, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 

  
 67 













 SECTION 6.10.    Priorities. 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 Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal 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 Company. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such
record date, the Company shall cause to be sent to each Holder and the Trustee 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, 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 aggregate principal amount of the Securities. 

SECTION 6.12.    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not 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 Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives 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.

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

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

funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (h)    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. 

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 but may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts and matters at it may see fit in its
discretion and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, upon reasonable notice to the Company, to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney
at the sole cost of the Company. 
 (b)    Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both.

(g)    The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties
hereunder.

(j)    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 to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(k)    Delivery of reports to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.02 shall not constitute actual knowledge of, or
notice to, the Trustee of the information contained therein. 
 SECTION 7.03.    Individual Rights of Trustee.

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. 

  
 70 













 SECTION 7.05.    Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs, is
continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold
such notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding such notice is not opposed to the interests of the Holders. 

SECTION 7.06.    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

SECTION 7.07.    Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree to in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse
the Trustee 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 Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability or
expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any
claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s rights, powers or duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors
(including this Section 7.07)). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company
shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee
through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the Company’s 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. 

The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the appointment of a
successor Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy
Law. 
 SECTION 7.08.    Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 

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

(2)    the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

  
 71 













 (3)    a receiver or other public officer takes charge
of the Trustee or its property; or 
 (4)    the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company 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 Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the
Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION
7.09.    Successor Trustee by Merger. If the 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 of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that
the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 
 SECTION 7.10.    Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all
times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and that is subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

 Article 8 

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance 

SECTION 8.01.    Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. (a) When (1) the
Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancellation, (2) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable, whether at maturity or on a redemption date
as a result of the sending of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article 3 hereof or (3) all outstanding Securities not theretofore delivered for cancellation will become due and payable within one year at their Stated Maturity or are to
be called for redemption within one year, and, in the case of clause (2) or (3), the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Securities, including interest thereon to
maturity or such redemption date (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company (other than contingent indemnification obligations, if any, that,
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, survive the termination thereof), then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect, and the Company’s and Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this
Indenture shall be satisfied and discharged. The Trustee shall acknowledge such satisfaction and discharge on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which, in the case of a redemption, may be
the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel related to such redemption) and at the cost and expense of the Company. 

(b)    Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (1) all of its obligations under
the Securities and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (2) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 4.11 and the operation of clauses (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9)
and (10) of Section 6.01 (but, in the case of clauses (7) and (8) with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) and the limitations contained in Section 5.01(a)(3) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Company may
exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. 
 If the Company exercises its
legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an
Event of Default specified in clause (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (10) of Section 6.01 (but, in the case of clauses (7) and (8), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) or because of the failure of the Company to
comply with Section 5.01(a)(3). If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, shall be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee.

 Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the
discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates. 

  
 73 













 (c)    Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the
Company’s obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 7.07 and 7.08 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05
shall survive, as well as contingent indemnification obligations, if any, that, pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, survive the termination hereof. 

SECTION 8.02.    Conditions to Defeasance. The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant
defeasance option only if: 
 (1)    the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money
or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(2)    the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent
accountants expressing their opinion (or, if two or more nationally recognized firms of independent accountants decline to issue such opinion after the Company has made reasonable efforts to obtain such an opinion, a certificate from the
Company’s chief financial officer so stating and expressing such 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 and interest when due on all the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(3)    123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the
123-day period no Default specified in Sections 6.01(7) or (8) with respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 

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

(5)    the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting
from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 

(6)    in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (B) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax
law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal 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 legal defeasance had not occurred; 

(7)    in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company 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 covenant 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 covenant defeasance had not occurred; and 

  
 74 













 (8) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Securities as contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with. 

Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of 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 deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the
payment of principal of and interest on the Securities. 
 SECTION 8.04.    Repayment to Company. The Trustee and
the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time. 
 Subject to
any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon 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 Company for payment as general unsecured creditors. 
 SECTION 8.05.    Indemnity for
Government Obligations. The Company 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 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 Company’s and each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, each Subsidiary Guarantee and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until
such time as the Trustee or 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 Company has made any payment of interest on or
principal of any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company 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
Paying Agent.

Subsidiary Guarantee; 
 (9)    to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the
transfer and legending of Securities; provided, however, that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Securities being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities
law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Securities; or 

(10)    to provide for the issuance of Additional Securities pursuant to a supplemental indenture in
accordance with this Indenture. 
 After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall send to 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. 

  
 76 













 SECTION 9.02.    With Consent of Holders. (a) The Company,
the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. 

(b)    Notwithstanding Section 9.02(a), without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, an amendment or waiver
may not: 
 (1)    reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment; 

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

(3)    reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Security;

would adversely affect the Holders. 
 (c)    Clauses (4) and (6) of Section 9.02(b) and clauses (a) and
(b) of Section 6.04 shall not apply to Sections 4.06 and 4.09, and amendments and waivers of such provisions and payments required thereunder shall be governed by Section 9.02(a). 

(d)    It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (e)    After
an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall send to 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. 

  
 77 













 SECTION 9.03.    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

SECTION 9.04.    Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. 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 the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective.
After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee. 

The Company 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 of this Section 9.04, 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 changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security 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 Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement
Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a replacement Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 

SECTION 9.06.    Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment 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 to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture and that such amendment is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, and complies with the provisions of this Indenture. Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the
expense of the Company. 
 Article 10 

Subsidiary Guarantees 

SECTION 10.01.    Guarantees. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly
and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or


  
 78 













 
otherwise, and all other monetary Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee under this Indenture and the Securities (including any Additional Securities issued in compliance with
this Indenture) and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the
“Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, or increased pursuant to the issuance of Additional Securities, in each case
without notice or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor and that such Subsidiary Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation or any such increase. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and
also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the
failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or
otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security
held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (6) except as set
forth in Section 10.06, any change in the ownership of such Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its
Subsidiary Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for
payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(a), 8.01(b), 10.02 and 10.06,
the obligations of each Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other
agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might
in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at
any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise. 

  
 79 













 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or
the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company 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 Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in
cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and
(C) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that,
as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s
Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the
Trustee in enforcing any rights under this Section. 
 SECTION 10.02.    Limitation on Liability. Any term or
provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without
rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

SECTION 10.03.    Successors and Assigns. This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and
its successors and assigns and shall enure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon
that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 

SECTION 10.04.    No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in
exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 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 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 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 

  
 80 













 SECTION 10.05.    Modification. No modification, amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same,
similar or other circumstances. 
 SECTION 10.06.    Release of Subsidiary Guarantor. A Subsidiary
Guarantor will be released from its obligations under this Article 10: 
 (1)    upon the direct or
indirect sale, transfer or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of such Subsidiary Guarantor, including the sale or disposition of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor or a parent Person of such Subsidiary Guarantor,
in each case following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary; 
 (2)    upon the
sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor; 

(3)    upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture; 
 (4)    upon the release or discharge of the Indebtedness that would have
required such Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into a Guarantee Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11 other than a release or discharge by or as a result of the payment of such Indebtedness; 

(5)    upon defeasance of the Securities pursuant to Article 8; or 

(6)    upon the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture; 

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, (i) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made
to a Person other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, (ii) such sale, transfer or other disposition is otherwise permitted by this Indenture and (iii) the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee to the
effect that the Company will comply with its obligations, if any, under Section 4.06 in respect of such sale, transfer or other disposition. 
 At the
request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release. 
 SECTION
10.07.    Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each
other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in
accordance with GAAP.

(substantially in the form of Exhibit 2) to the effect that the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security is being transferred (a) to an “accredited investor” 












 
within the meaning of 501(a)(1),(2),(3) and (7) under the Securities Act that is an institutional accredited investor acquiring the securities for its own account or for the account of such

 Beneficial
interests in a Rule 144A Global Security or an IAI Global Security may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Security, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution
Compliance Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in this Indenture) to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or
Rule 144 (if applicable). 
 The Rule 144A Global Security, the IAI Global Security and the Regulation S Global Security are

its nominee as hereinafter provided. 
 (b)    Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(b) shall apply only
to a Global Security deposited with or on behalf of the Depository. 
 The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with
this Section 2.1(b), authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Securities that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Security or Global Securities or the nominee of such Depository and
(b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository’s instructions or held by the Trustee as custodian for the Depository. 

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to
any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depository or under such Global Security, and the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the
Depository as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a
beneficial interest in any Global Security.

2.3    Transfer and Exchange. 

(a)    Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Securities. When Definitive Securities are presented to the Registrar
with a request: 
  

	 	(x)	 to register the transfer of such Definitive Securities; or 



 

	 	(y)	 to exchange such Definitive Securities for an equal principal amount of Definitive Securities of other
authorized denominations, 


 the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements
for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange: 

(i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company
and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and 
 (ii) if such
Definitive Securities are required to bear a restricted securities legend, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or pursuant to clause (A),
(B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable: 

(A)     if such Definitive Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in
the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or 

(B)    if such Definitive Securities are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect;
or 
 (C)    if such Definitive Securities are being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from
registration in accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act: (i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth
on the reverse of the Security) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i).













 (b)    Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Security for a

requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with: 

(i)    certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Security, that such Definitive Security
is either (A) being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, (B) being transferred to an IAI or (C) being transferred after expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period by a Person who initially purchased such Security
in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Security in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security; and 

(ii)    written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Securities Custodian to make,
an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Security (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(A)), IAI Global Security (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(B)) or Regulation S Global
Security (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(C)) to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Rule 144A Global Security, IAI Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as
applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository account to be credited with such increase, 
 then the Trustee shall cancel
such Definitive Security and cause, or direct the Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Securities Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Securities
represented by the Rule 144A Global Security, IAI Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Security to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited
to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security, IAI Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Security so
canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Securities, IAI Global Securities or Regulation S Global Securities, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of
an Officers’ Certificate of the Company, a new Rule 144A Global Security, IAI Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount. 












 (c)    Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. 

(i)    The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected
through the Depository, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall
deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Security. The
Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions instruct the Depository to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security and to debit the account of the Person making the
transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred. 
 (ii)    If the proposed
transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security
to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of
the Global Security from which such interest is being transferred. 
 (iii)     Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or
another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. 

(iv)    In the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities pursuant to
Section 2.4 of this Appendix, such Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the
reverse of the Securities intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the
Company.

Period, beneficial ownership interests in Regulation S Global Securities may only be sold, pledged or transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (i) to the Company, (ii) in an offshore transaction in accordance with

Global Securities (and all Securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES
LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH
TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ANY INVESTOR ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT HAS PURCHASED SECURITIES, TO OFFER, SELL OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR TO THE DATE (THE “RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE”) THAT IS [IN THE CASE OF RULE 144A NOTES: ONE YEAR AFTER THE LATEST OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF, THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE OF THE ISSUANCE

ISSUE DATE HEREOF AND THE DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF SUCH SECURITY) WAS FIRST OFFERED TO PERSONS OTHER THAN DISTRIBUTORS (AS DEFINED IN RULE 902 OF REGULATION S) IN RELIANCE ON REGULATION S], ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY OR
ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
(“RULE 144A”), TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO













 
WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (D) PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES TO NON-U.S. PERSONS THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE

PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSES (D) OR (E) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/ OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE
HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE. [IN THE CASE OF REGULATION S NOTES: BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER HEREOF REPRESENTS THAT IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON NOR IS IT PURCHASING FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING
THIS SECURITY IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.] 
 BY ITS ACQUISITION OF THIS SECURITY,
THE HOLDER THEREOF WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED AND WARRANTED THAT EITHER (1) NO PORTION OF THE ASSETS USED BY SUCH HOLDER TO ACQUIRE OR HOLD THIS SECURITY CONSTITUTES THE ASSETS OF (A) AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN (AS DEFINED IN SECTION
3(3) OF THE U.S. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”)), SUBJECT TO PART 4 OF SUBTITLE B OF TITLE I OF ERISA, (B) A PLAN, INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT OR OTHER ARRANGEMENT THAT IS SUBJECT TO SECTION
4975 OF THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”) OR PROVISIONS UNDER ANY OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER LAWS OR REGULATIONS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO SUCH PROVISIONS
OF ERISA OR THE CODE (“SIMILAR LAWS”) OR (C) AN ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS ARE CONSIDERED TO INCLUDE “PLAN ASSETS” OF ANY SUCH PLAN, ACCOUNT OR ARRANGEMENT OR (2) THE ACQUISITION AND HOLDING OF THIS SECURITY WILL
NOT CONSTITUTE A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR A SIMILAR VIOLATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE SIMILAR LAWS. 












 Each certificate evidencing a Security offered in reliance on Regulation S
shall, in addition to the foregoing, bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY
ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION ORIGINALLY EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY U.S. PERSON
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. TERMS USED ABOVE HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM IN REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. 

Each Definitive Security shall also bear the following additional legend: 

IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH
TRANSFER AGENT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS. 

(ii)    Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security (including any Transfer Restricted
Security represented by a Global Security) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall permit the transferee thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a certificated Security that does not bear the legend set
forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security, if the transferor thereof certifies in writing to the Registrar that such sale or transfer was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be
in the form set forth on the reverse of the Security). 
 (f)    Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Security.
At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Security have either been exchanged for Definitive Securities, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Security shall be returned to the Depository for cancellation or retained and canceled
by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for certificated Securities, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security
shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Securities Custodian for such Global Security) with respect to such Global Security, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, to reflect
such reduction. 












 (g)    No Obligation of the Trustee. 

(i)    The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Security,
a member of, or a participant in the Depository or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with
respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Securities. All notices
and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Securities shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a
Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying
upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 

(ii)    The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with
any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depository participants, members or beneficial owners in any
Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 2.4    Definitive Securities. 

(a)    A Global Security deposited with the Depository or with the Trustee as Securities Custodian for the Depository
pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, in exchange for such Global Security,
only if such transfer complies with Section 2.3 hereof and (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Security and the Depository fails to appoint a successor depository
or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, in either case, and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (ii) an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or (iii) the Company, in its sole discretion, subject to the procedures of the Depository notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Securities under this Indenture.













 (b)    Any Global Security that is transferable to the beneficial owners
thereof pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee located at its principal corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in
part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global
Security transferred pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any greater integral multiple of $1,000 thereof and registered in such names as the
Depository shall direct. Any Definitive Security delivered in exchange for an interest in the Transfer Restricted Security shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.3(e) hereof, bear the applicable restricted securities legend and
definitive securities legend set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto. 
 (c)    Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.1(b) hereof, the registered Holder of a Global Security shall be entitled to grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which
a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities. 
 (d)    In the event of the occurrence of one of
the events specified in Section 2.4(a) hereof, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Securities in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons. In the event that such
Definitive Securities are not issued, the Company expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to this Indenture, the right of any beneficial owner of Securities to pursue such remedy with respect to
the portion of the Global Security that represents such beneficial owner’s Securities as if such Definitive Securities had been issued.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY] 

5.125% Senior Note Due 2029 

Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture (as defined below). 

 

	1.	 Interest 



U.S. Concrete, Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture being herein called the
“Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing March 1,
2021. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from September 23, 2020. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Security plus 1.0% per annum, and it will pay interest
on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
  

	2.	 Method of Payment 



The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the
close of business on the February 15 or August 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying
Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States 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 and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Security
(including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Security will be made 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 the 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, U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking corporation (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-registrar. 













	4.	 Indenture 



The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of September 23, 2020 (as such may be amended or supplemented from time to
time, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the
Indenture for a statement of those terms. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

The Securities are senior obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.03 of the
Indenture, to issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Indenture. The Initial Securities and any Additional Securities will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants
that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to: incur additional Indebtedness, including Guarantees; pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase Capital Stock; make Investments; engage in
transactions with Affiliates; create Liens on assets; transfer or sell assets; restrict dividends or other payments by Subsidiaries; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of its Subsidiaries. These
covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. 
  

	5.	 Optional Redemption 



Except as set forth below and in Section 4.09(h) of the Indenture, the Company shall not be entitled to redeem the Securities. 

On and after September 1, 2023, the Company shall be entitled at its option, on one or more occasions, to redeem all or a portion of the
Securities, at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption date), and accrued and unpaid interest 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) if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on September 1 of the years set forth below: 

 

					
	 Period
	  	Redemption price	 
	 2023
	  	 	102.563	% 
	 2024
	  	 	101.281	% 
	 2025 until maturity
	  	 	100.000	% 

 In addition, any time prior to September 1, 2023, the Company shall be entitled at its option on one or
more occasions to redeem Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if













 
any) originally issued at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 105.125%, and accrued and unpaid interest 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), with cash in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings; provided, however, that
(1) at least 60% of such aggregate principal amount of Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Securities held, directly or indirectly,
by the Company or its Affiliates); and (2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days after the date of the related Qualified Equity Offering. 

Prior to September 1, 2023, the Company shall be entitled at its option, on one or more occasions, to redeem all or a portion of the
Securities at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
  

	6.	 Notice of Redemption 



Notice of redemption will be sent at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be
redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture.
Any inadvertent defect in the notice of redemption, including an inadvertent failure to give notice, to any Holder selected for redemption will not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Security redeemed in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture. Securities in denominations larger than $2,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities (or
portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the 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. In certain circumstances as specified in the Indenture, a notice of redemption may be subject to one or more conditions precedent. 
  

	7.	 Put Provisions 



Upon a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company repurchase such Holder’s Securities at a purchase
price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest
payment date) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 












 The Indenture provides that, under certain circumstances, the Company shall be required to
use the Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition to make an offer to Holders to purchase Securities at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest. 

 

	8.	 Guarantee 



The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Securities is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint
and several senior basis by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture. 
  

	9.	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 



The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees 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 any
Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. 
  

	10.	 Persons Deemed Owners 



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

 

	11.	 Unclaimed Money 



If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the
Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment. 

 

	12.	 Discharge and Defeasance 



Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its and the Subsidiary Guarantors’
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. 

 

	13.	 Amendment; Waiver 



Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (a) the Indenture and the Securities may be amended with the written consent of
the Holders of at least a 












 
majority in principal amount outstanding of the Securities and (b) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount outstanding of the Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee shall be entitled to amend the Indenture
or the Securities to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, or to add Guarantees
with respect to the Securities, including Subsidiary Guarantees, or to secure the Securities or add collateral, or to add additional covenants or surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors or to make any change
that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder, or, at the Company’s election, to comply with any requirement of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, if such
qualification should become required, or to conform the text of the Indenture, the Securities or any Subsidiary Guarantee to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in
the “Description of the Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Securities or such Subsidiary Guarantee, to make amendments to provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending
of the Securities or to provide for the issuance of Additional Securities pursuant to a supplemental indenture in accordance with the Indenture. 
  

	14.	 Defaults and Remedies 



Under the Indenture, Events of Default include: (a) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Securities; (b) default in
payment of principal on the Securities when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required purchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; (c) failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to
comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Securities, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (d) certain accelerations (including failure to pay within any grace period after final maturity) of other Indebtedness of
the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds $50,000,000; (e) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries;
(f) certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $50,000,000; and (g) certain defaults with respect to Subsidiary Guarantees. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the Securities may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default that will result in the Securities becoming due and payable
immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 
 Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in
the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may
direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is not opposed to the
interests of the Holders. 













	15.	 Trustee Dealings with the Company 



Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, 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 



A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have any liability for any
obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
  

	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.	 CUSIP Numbers 



Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers
to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained
in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
  

	20.	 Governing Law 



THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 












 The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge to the Holder

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 one year after the latest of the date of original issue, the original issue date of the issuance of any Additional Securities, and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such
Securities (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (i) to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (ii) in the United States to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a
“qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A that purchases for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A,
(iii) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is an institutional accredited investor purchasing for its own account or for the account of
an institutional accredited investor, in each case in a minimum principal amount of the Securities of $250,000, (iv) pursuant to offers and sales to non-U.S. persons outside the United States within the
meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (v) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if available) or (vi) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared
effective under the Securities Act, in each of cases (i) through (vi) subject to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in
compliance with any applicable state securities laws. 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 pursuant to
clause (iii) above 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 Company 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 (iii), (iv) or (v) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
