 ARTICLE TWO 
 THE NOTES 
 SECTION 2.01. Amount of Notes. 

The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered and outstanding under this Indenture is not limited. The
Trustee shall initially authenticate Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $765,000,000 of Notes (“Initial Notes”) upon a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s
Certificate of the Issuer (other than as provided in Section 2.08). The Trustee shall authenticate Notes (the “Additional Notes”) thereafter in unlimited amount (so long as permitted by the terms of this Indenture, including,
without limitation, Section 4.10) for original issue upon a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in aggregate principal amount as specified in such order (other than as provided in Section 2.08),
provided, however, that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for United States federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number than the Initial Notes. Each such written order
shall specify the principal amount of Additional Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Additional Notes are to be authenticated. 
 SECTION 2.02. Form and Dating. 
 The Notes and the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is incorporated in and form a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rule or usage to which
the Issuer is subject. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Notes offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A (“Rule 144A Notes”) shall bear the legend and include the form of assignment
set forth in Exhibit B, Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S (“Regulation S Notes”) shall bear the legend and include the form of assignment set forth in Exhibit B, and Notes
offered and sold to Institutional Accredited Investors in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act not made in reliance on Rule 144A or Regulation S (“Other Notes”) may be represented by a Restricted Global
Note or, if such an investor may not hold an interest in the Restricted Global Notes, a Physical Note, in each case, bearing the Private Placement Legend. The Issuer shall approve the form of the Notes and any notation, legend or endorsement on
them. Each Note shall be dated the date of its issuance and show the date of its authentication. 

  
 43 









 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and agree to be bound thereby. 

The Notes may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the Registrar. 

Notes issued in exchange for interests in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.16 may be issued in the form of permanent certificated
Notes in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Physical Notes”). 

SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication. 
 One Officer, who shall have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions, shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, facsimile or electronic image scan signature. 

If the Officer whose signature is on a Note was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office at the time the
Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. 
 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall
be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.12, for all purposes of this Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents with the consent of the
Issuer to authenticate the Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate the Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes
authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuer and Affiliates of the Issuer. Each Paying Agent is designated as an authenticating agent for purposes of this Indenture. 

The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess of $2,000. 

  
 44 









 SECTION 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as
such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with Section 7.07. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global
Notes. 
 SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust. 

Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of or premium or interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Issuer, one or more of the Guarantors or any other obligor on the Notes), and the Issuer and each Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any Default by
the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. Money held in trust by a Paying Agent need not be segregated except as required by law and in no event shall a Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received
by it hereunder. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(1) or (2), upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith all money so held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon making such payment, such Paying Agent shall have no
further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee 
 SECTION 2.06. Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of the Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least two (2) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in
such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee. 

  
 45 









 SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. 

Subject to Sections 2.16 and 2.17, when Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer of
such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall promptly register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such
transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar or co-Registrar,
duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s or
co-Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. 
 The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Notes
(i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to
Article Three, except the unredeemed portion of any Notes being redeemed in part, and during a Change of Control Offer, an Alternate Offer or an Asset Sale Offer if such Note is tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or
Asset Sale Offer and not withdrawn. 
 Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such
beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the
Notes shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system. 
 SECTION 2.08. Replacement Notes. 

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost,
destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note (and the Guarantors, if any, shall execute the guarantee thereon) if the Holder of such Note furnishes to the Issuer and the Trustee evidence
reasonably acceptable to them of the ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of this Indenture are met. If required by
the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the judgment of all to protect the Issuer, the Guarantors, if any, the Trustee or any Paying Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced. The
Issuer may charge such Holder for the Issuer’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Note and the Trustee may charge the Issuer for the Trustee’s expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) in replacing such Note. Every replacement Note shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer. 

  
 46 









 SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Notes. 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except (a) those canceled by it,
(b) those delivered to it for cancellation, (c) to the extent set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, on or after the date on the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02 have been satisfied and (d) these Notes theretofore
authenticated by the Trustee hereunder and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or any of its Affiliates holds the Note (subject to the provisions of Section 2.10).

 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to
be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer. A mutilated Note ceases to be
outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08. 
 If the principal amount of any
Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue. If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof) holds U.S. Legal
Tender or Government Securities sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest due on the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

SECTION 2.10. Treasury Notes. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall be disregarded,
except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded.

 SECTION 2.11. Temporary Notes. 
 Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may
have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes
shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Notes are represented by a Global Note, such Global Note may be in typewritten form. 

SECTION 2.12. Cancellation. 
 The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment.
The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary), and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the Issuer, shall dispose of all Notes surrendered for
transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. Subject to Section 2.08, the Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuer
or any Guarantor shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to
this Section 2.12. 

  
 47 









 SECTION 2.13. Defaulted Interest. 

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall, unless the Trustee fixes another Record Date pursuant to
Section 6.10, pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in accordance with the terms hereof. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are
Holders on a subsequent special Record Date, which special Record Date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business
Day. At least 15 days before any such subsequent special Record Date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special Record Date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest,
and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. The Issuer may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) of any securities exchange on which the
Notes may be listed and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this sentence, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the
Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.14. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. 

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers and ISINs (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use, as
applicable, CUSIP numbers and ISINs 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 or accuracy of such numbers, either as
printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification number(s) printed on the Notes. The Issuer shall advise the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers and ISINs.

 SECTION 2.15. Deposit of Moneys. 
 Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, the Issuer shall have deposited
with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds U.S. Legal Tender, sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, as
the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date and Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, as the case may be.
The principal and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Notes represented thereby. The principal and interest on Physical Notes
shall be payable, either in person or by mail, at the office of the applicable Paying Agent. 

  
 48 









 SECTION 2.16. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. 

(a) Rule 144A Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons
(collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Notes”). Regulation S Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (the “Regulation S Global Notes”). The term
“Global Notes” means, collectively, the Rule 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes. The Global Notes shall bear legends as set forth in Exhibit D. The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the
name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, in each case for credit to an account of an Agent Member, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Exhibit B
with respect to Restricted Global Notes and Regulation S Global Notes. 
 Members of, or direct or indirect participants in,
the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Notes held on their behalf by the Depositary or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Notes, and the Depositary may be
treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of
the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of a Holder. 
 (b) Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in part, to
the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of
Section 2.17. In addition, a Global Note shall be exchangeable for Physical Note if (i) in the case of a Global Note, the Depositary (x) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note
and the Issuer thereupon fail to appoint a successor depository or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) pursuant to the procedures of the Depositary, the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee
in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of such Physical Notes or (iii) in the case of any Global Note, there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Note. In all cases, Physical Notes
delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with its customary procedures.

 (c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Note to beneficial
owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of
the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a written order from the Issuer authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor
and amount. 

  
 49 









 (d) In connection with the transfer of Global Notes as an entirety to beneficial owners
pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Notes shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in
writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Notes, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations. 
 (e) Any Physical Note constituting a Restricted Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to paragraph (b), (c) or (d) shall, except as otherwise provided by
paragraphs (a)(i)(x) and (c) of Section 2.17, bear the Private Placement Legend unless the Issuer determines otherwise in compliance with applicable law. 
 (f) On or prior to the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes represented by the Regulation S Global Note and the issue date of such Notes (such period through and
including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the corresponding Restricted Global Note only
upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made (i)(a) to a Person that the transferor reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer in a transaction meeting the
requirements of Rule 144A or (b) pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act which is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel regarding the availability of such exemption and (ii) in accordance
with all applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. During the Restricted Period, beneficial ownership in a Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear
System (“Euroclear”) or Clearstream Banking, S.A. (“Clearstream”). 
 (g) Beneficial interests
in the Restricted Global Notes may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global Notes, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, only if the transferor first delivers to
the Trustee a written certificate to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available). 
 (h) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in
such Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains
such an interest.

respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such
information regarding the Issuer as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from
registration provided by Rule 144A; and

not more than 65 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee in writing), together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained herein.

 SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes To Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Sections 3.07(a), (b) or (c) at any time, the Trustee will select
the Notes for redemption as follows: 
 (1) if the Notes are listed on a national securities exchange, in
compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or 

(2) if the Notes are not listed on any securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot, by such method as the
Trustee deems fair and appropriate or by a method in accordance with the procedures of DTC. 
 No Notes of $2,000 or less shall
be redeemed in part. 
 If a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of an Equity Offering in accordance with
Section 3.07(c), the Trustee will select the applicable Notes on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures). 
 SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 
 At least 30 days but not more than 60
days before a Redemption Date for a redemption pursuant to Sections 3.07(a), (b) or (c), the Issuer shall mail or electronically transmit a notice of redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed
at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed or electronically transmitted more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture. At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall forward the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided that in such case, the Trustee has received notice from the Issuer at
least 31 days, but not more than 65 days, before a Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee). Unless the redemption is conditioned on the happening of an event in accordance with Section 3.07, Notes
called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. Each notice of redemption shall identify the Notes (including the
CUSIP number) to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date; 

  
 53 









 (2) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to be
paid; 
 (3) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(4) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price, plus accrued
interest, if any; 
 (5) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes
called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, unless the redemption is conditioned on the happening of an event in accordance with Section 3.07, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to receive
payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed; 
 (6) if any Note is
being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof
will be issued; 
 (7) if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes
(or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption; 

(8) the CUSIP Number and/or ISIN number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed; 

(9) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number and/or ISIN number, if any,
listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 
 (10) the Section of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes
are to be redeemed. 
 The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided or transmitted electronically, shall be conclusively
presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or electronically or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. 

  
 54 









 SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Unless the redemption is conditioned on the happening of an event in accordance with Section 3.07, once notice of redemption is
mailed or transmitted electronically in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying
Agent, such Notes called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price (which shall include accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date), but installments of interest, the maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be
payable to Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates. On and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 With respect to the Notes, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is a Paying Agent,
shall segregate and hold in trust) U.S. Legal Tender and/or Government Securities sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes
called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited
with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes. 
 SECTION 3.06.
Notes Redeemed in Part. 
 If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note
shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.

 SECTION 3.07. Optional Redemption. 
 (a) The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 1, 2014, at the option of the Issuer, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes

accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), with funds in an aggregate amount
not exceeding the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Issuer or any contribution to the Issuer’s common equity capital made with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Issuer’s direct or indirect

Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor may
issue Preferred Stock if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness
is incurred or such Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom) (the “Coverage Ratio Exception”),
as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

to the face amount thereof) and other Indebtedness, up to an aggregate principal amount, together with amounts outstanding under a Qualified Securitization Financing incurred pursuant to clause (17) below, not to exceed at any one time
outstanding the greater of (A) $1,550.0 million and (B) the maximum aggregate principal amount (as of the date of incurrence of any such Indebtedness and after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence thereof and the application of the
net proceeds therefrom (or as of the date of the initial borrowing of such Indebtedness after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of the entire committed amount of such Indebtedness)) that can be incurred without exceeding a Senior Secured
Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio for the Issuer of 3.00 to 1.00 (it being understood that for purposes of determining compliance under this clause (1), any Indebtedness incurred under this clause (1) (whether or not secured) will be included in the
amount of Senior Secured Indebtedness for purposes of calculating the Senior Secured Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio); 

  
 60 









 (2) the incurrence by the Issuer and the Guarantors of Indebtedness
represented by the Notes issued on the Issue Date or the Exchange Notes (including any Guarantee); 
 (3)
Existing Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness described in Sections 4.10(b)(1), (2) and (7); 
 (4)
Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and Preferred Stock issued by a Restricted Subsidiary to finance the purchase, lease or improvement of property (real or personal) or
equipment that is used or useful in a Permitted Business (whether through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets) in an aggregate principal amount that, when aggregated with the principal amount of all
other Indebtedness and/or Preferred Stock then outstanding and incurred or issued pursuant to this clause (4), does not exceed the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 4.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets; 

(5) Indebtedness incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary constituting reimbursement obligations with respect
to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including without limitation letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability
insurance or self-insurance or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement-type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits or property casualty or liability insurance or self
insurance; provided that upon the drawing of such letters of credit or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing or incurrence; 

(6) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification,
adjustment of purchase price, earnouts or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all
or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided that such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (contingent obligations
referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause); 

  
 61 









 (7) Indebtedness of the Issuer owed to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary
or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owed to and held by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event that results in any such
Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the incurrence of such Indebtedness by the
issuer thereof and (B) if the Issuer is the obligor on such Indebtedness (other than any Existing Indebtedness) owing to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien
(except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness of the Issuer or of a Guarantor, on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income
therefrom, unless the Notes (or a Guarantee in the case of Liens of a Guarantor) are equally and ratably secured with (or, in the event the Lien relates to Subordinated Indebtedness, are secured on a senior basis to) the obligations so secured until
such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien. 
 (b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant
to the Section 4.12(a) shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes. 

  
 73 









 SECTION 4.13. Asset Sales. 

(a) Following the Effective Date, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset
Sale unless: 
 (1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the
time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined, as of the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale, in good faith by senior management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer, whose determination shall be
conclusive, provided that in the case of any Asset Sale involving consideration in excess of $50.0 million, such determination shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Issuer) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or
otherwise disposed of; and 
 (2) except for any Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration received
in the Asset Sale by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. 
 For purposes of
clause (2) above, the amount of (i) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance
sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on such balance sheet or in the notes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of the Issuer or
any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets (or are otherwise extinguished in connection with the transactions relating to such Asset
Sale), if such liabilities are not Indebtedness, or the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary has been released from all liability on payment of the principal amount of such liabilities in connection with such Asset Sale, (ii) any securities,
notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents
received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale and (iii) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer), taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of
(x) $100.0 million and (y) 8.5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time
received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this paragraph and for no other purpose. 
 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply an amount equal to those Net Proceeds at its option: 

(1) to permanently reduce 
 (A) Bank Obligations under a Credit Agreement, and to correspondingly reduce any outstanding commitments with respect thereto, if applicable; 

  
 74 









 (B) Obligations constituting Secured Indebtedness, and to correspondingly
reduce any outstanding commitments with respect thereto, if applicable; 
 (C) Obligations under the Notes or any
other Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (and, in the case of other Senior Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce any outstanding commitments with respect thereto, if applicable); provided that if the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary shall so repay any such other Senior Indebtedness, the Issuer will reduce Obligations under the Notes on a pro rata basis by, at its option, (A) redeeming Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, (B) making an
offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer (as defined below)) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Special Interest, if any, to the date of purchase or (C) purchasing Notes through open market purchases, at a price equal to or higher than 100% of the principal amount thereof; or 

(D) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an
Affiliate of the Issuer; 
 (2) to make an investment in (A) any one or more businesses (provided
that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary),
(B) capital expenditures or (C) other assets that, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), are used or useful in a Permitted Business; and/or 

(3) to make an investment in (A) any one or more businesses; provided that such investment in any business is
in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and it results in the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) properties or (C) other
assets that, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; 
 provided that the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed to have complied with clause (2) or (3) above if and to the extent that, within 365 days after the Asset Sale that
generated the Net Proceeds, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to consummate any such investment described in clause (2) or (3) above, and such investment is
thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period. 

  
 75 









 (c) When the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds or equivalent amount not applied or invested
in accordance with the preceding paragraph (“Excess Proceeds”) exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuer will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders and, if required under the terms of any Indebtedness that
ranks pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, on a pro rata basis, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu 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 thereof, or, in the case of Pari Passu Indebtedness that is issued or sold at a discount, the amount of the accreted value thereof
at such time, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date of purchase (or such lesser price, if any, as may be provided under the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness). 

(d) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds or equivalent amount, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings
or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (e) If any Excess Proceeds
remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount
of Excess Proceeds allotted to purchase Notes in such Asset Sale Offer, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

 (f) Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to
each Holder at its registered address. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. Any Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which
shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state: 
 (1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made
pursuant to this Section 4.13; 
 (2) the Asset Sale Offer Amount, the Asset Sale Payment and the date on
which Notes tendered and accepted for payment shall be purchased, which date shall be at least 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Asset Sale Payment Date”); 

(3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrete or accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer shall cease to accrete or accrue interest after the Asset Sale Payment Date; 
 (5) that Holders electing
to have a Note purchased pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer may only elect to have all of such Note purchased and may not elect to have only a portion of such Note purchased; 

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

  
 76 









 (7) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer,
the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the Asset Sale Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased; 
 (8) that, if the aggregate principal amount
of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Asset Sale Offer Amount, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations
of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 shall be purchased); and 
 (9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased
only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer); provided that such Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples
$1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (g) On the Asset Sale Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for
payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender or Government Securities sufficient to pay the Asset Sale Payment in respect of all Notes or portions
thereof so tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being repurchased by the Issuer.
The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Asset Sale Payment Date. 
 (h) The Paying Agent
shall promptly mail to each Holder so tendered the Asset Sale Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate pursuant to an Authentication Order and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal
in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. However, if the Asset Sale
Payment Date is on or after an interest Record Date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and
no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 
 (i) The Issuer will
comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale
Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.13, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under this Section 4.13 by virtue of such conflict. 

  
 77 









 SECTION 4.14. Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any
Affiliate of the Issuer (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $15.0 million, unless: 
 (1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by
the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and 
 (2) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee,
with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $30.0 million, a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and
an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above. 
 (b) The
restrictions set forth in Section 4.14(a) do not apply to: 
 (1) transactions between or among the Issuer
and/or any Restricted Subsidiary and/or any entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction; 
 (2) Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments permitted by this Indenture; 
 (3) the payment to any of the Sponsor and its Affiliates of annual management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year not to exceed the Maximum Management Fee

 78 









 (6) transactions in which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary delivers
to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the Issuer
or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; 

(7) payments or loans (or cancellations of loans) to employees or consultants of the Issuer or any of its direct or
indirect parent companies or any Restricted Subsidiary which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer in good faith and which are otherwise permitted under this Indenture; 

(8) payments made or performance under any agreement as in effect on the Effective Date (including, without limitation,
each of the agreements entered into in connection with the Transactions) or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment taken as a whole is not materially less advantageous to the Holders in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors
of the Issuer than the applicable agreement as in effect on the Effective Date); 
 (9) payments made or
performance under any agreement to which Warner Music Group Corp. and/or Holdings is a party as of the Effective Date (including, without limitation, each of the agreements entered into in connection with the Transactions, but excluding the
indenture governing the Holdings Notes) and to or by which the Issuer becomes a party or otherwise bound after the Effective Date, any amendment thereto by which the Issuer becomes a party thereto or otherwise bound thereby, and any other amendment
thereto (so long as any such other amendment (other than an amendment to effect the Issuer becoming a party to or otherwise bound by such agreement) taken as a whole is not materially less advantageous to the Holders in the good faith judgment of
the Board of Directors of the Issuer than such agreement as in effect on the Effective Date); 
 (10)
transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture that are
fair to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time

Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (and payment of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Permitted Holders in connection therewith) so long as (a) the investment is being offered generally to other investors on the same
or more favorable terms and (b) the investment constitutes less than 5.0% of the proposed or outstanding issue amount of such class of securities;

imposed on Restricted Payments under Section 4.11; and 
 (17) intellectual property licenses in the
ordinary course of business. 
 SECTION 4.15. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to, directly or indirectly,
create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors, or with respect to any other interest or participation in,
or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors; 
 (2) make loans or advances to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors; or 
 (3) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors; 

provided that dividend or liquidation priority between classes of Capital Stock, or subordination of any obligation (including the
application of any remedy bars thereto) to any other obligation, will not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction. 

  
 80 









 (b) However, Section 4.15(a) will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions consisting
of, or existing under or by reason of: 
 (1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect
(x) pursuant to any Credit Agreement, the Existing Secured Notes, the New Secured Notes, any Hedging Obligations, or any related documents or (y) on the Effective Date, including, without limitation, pursuant to Existing Indebtedness and
related documentation;

is acquired by or merged or consolidated with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, or which agreement or instrument is assumed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with an acquisition from such Person, or any other
transaction entered into in connection with any such acquisition, merger or consolidation, as in effect at the time of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or transaction (except to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred to finance, or
otherwise in connection with, such acquisition, merger, consolidation or transaction); provided that, for purposes of this clause (5), if a Person other than the Issuer is the Successor Company with respect thereto, any Subsidiary thereof or
agreement or instrument of such Person or any such Subsidiary shall be deemed acquired or assumed, as the case may be, by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, when such Person becomes such Successor Company; 

(6) any transfer of, agreement to transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on, any property or assets of the

instrument or obligation (a “Refinancing Agreement”) effecting an extension, renewal, increase, refunding, replacement or refinancing of any contract, instrument or obligation referred to in 4.15(b)(1) through (11) (an
“Initial Agreement”) or that is, or is contained in, any amendment, supplement, restatement or other modification to an Initial Agreement or Refinancing Agreement (an “Amendment”); provided that the encumbrances and
restrictions contained in any such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Holders than encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Initial Agreements to which such
Refinancing Agreement or Amendment relates (as determined in good faith by the Issuer); 
 (13) any encumbrance
or restriction of a Securitization Subsidiary effected in connection with a Qualified Securitization Financing; provided, however, that such restrictions apply only to any Securitization Subsidiary;

Acquisition Financing Indebtedness; 
 (15) any trading, netting, operating, construction, service, supply,

the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary that are the subject to such agreement, the payment rights arising thereunder or the proceeds thereof and does not extend to any other asset or property of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary or the
assets or property of another Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (16) customary provisions restricting subletting or
assignment of any lease governing a leasehold interest of any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (17) customary provisions

Subsidiary;

reciprocal easement agreements of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; or 

  
 82 









 (21) an agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness incurred
subsequent to the Effective Date (i) if the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Holders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in
agreements in effect on the Effective Date (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) or (ii) if such encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in
good faith by the Issuer) and either (x) the Issuer determines in good faith that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Issuer’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes or (y) such
encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness. 
 SECTION 4.16. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 (a) The Issuer will cause
each Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary (unless such Subsidiary is a Securitization Subsidiary) that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Existing Secured
Notes or the New Secured Notes (or any refinancings of the Existing Secured Notes or the New Secured Notes) to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Notes,
substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto. Each Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted
Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 
 (b) Each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Article Ten. 
 SECTION
4.17. Reports to Holders of the Notes. 
 (a) Whether or not required by the Commission, from and after the Effective
Date, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the note register, or make available on the Issuer’s website, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and regulations: 
 (1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be
contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer were required to file such Forms including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to
the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Issuer’s certified independent accountants; and 
 (b) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no
responsibility whatsoever to determine if such filing or posting has occurred. 

  
 83 









 (c) In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the Issuer will file a copy of
all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept
such a filing) and make such information available to securities and analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Issuer has agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it will furnish to the Holders and to
securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.17, the Issuer will be deemed to have furnished reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above to the Trustee and the
Holders if the Issuer has filed such reports with the Commission via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available. 
 (e) In addition, if at any time any parent company of the Issuer incurs a guarantee of the Notes (there being no obligation of any parent company of the Issuer to do so) and complies with the requirements
of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission (or any successor provision), the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and furnished to Holders pursuant to this Section 4.17 may, at the option of the
Issuer, be filed by and be those of such parent company rather than the Issuer. 
 SECTION 4.18. Restriction on Certain Major
Music/Media Transactions. 
 The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any
Major Music/Media Transaction, unless the Total Senior Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio of the Issuer immediately after giving effect to the consummation of such Major Music/Media Transaction would be less than or equal to 4.60:1.00. 

SECTION 4.19. [RESERVED]. 
 SECTION 4.20. Payments for Consent. 
 The Issuer will not, and will not
permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture
or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

SECTION 4.21. Changes in Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade. 

(a) If on any date following the Effective Date, (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and
(ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event” and the
date thereof being referred to as the “Suspension Date”) then the covenants listed under Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 5.01(a)(4) and 5.01(a)(5) will not be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the
“Suspended Covenants”). 

  
 84 









 Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess
Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be reset to zero. During any period that the Suspended Covenants have been suspended, the Board of Directors of the Issuer may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries unless such
designation would have complied with Section 4.11 as if Section 4.11 would have been in effect during such period. The Guarantees of the Guarantors will be suspended during the Suspension Period. 

(b) In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any
period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an
Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion
Date is the “Suspension Period.” 
 (c) In the event of any reinstatement of the Suspended Covenants on a
Reversion Date, (i) with respect to Restricted Payments made after such reinstatement, the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments will be calculated as though Section 4.11 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the
Suspension Period; (ii) all Indebtedness incurred, or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(3); (iii) any Affiliate Transaction entered into
after such reinstatement pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 4.14(b)(8); and (iv) any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary that
is not a Guarantor to take any action described in Section 4.15(a)(1) through (3) that becomes effective during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 4.15(b)(1). 

(d) During the Suspension Period, any reference in the definitions of “Permitted Liens” and “Unrestricted Subsidiary”
to Section 4.10 or any provision thereof shall be construed as if such covenant were in effect during the Suspension Period. 
 (e) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, (1) no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind will be deemed to exist or have occurred as a result of any failure by the
Issuer or any Subsidiary to comply with the Suspended Covenants during any Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time arising out of actions taken or events that occurred during the Suspension Period), and
(2) following a Reversion Date the Issuer and any Subsidiary will be permitted, without causing a Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations arising
prior to such Reversion Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, and shall have no liability for any actions taken or events that occurred during the Suspension Period, or for any actions taken or events occurring at any time
pursuant to any such commitment or obligation.

 ARTICLE FIVE 
 SUCCESSOR CORPORATION 
 SECTION 5.01. Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of
Assets. 
 (a) The Issuer may not (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Issuer is
the surviving Person); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions to another
Person; unless: 
 (1) either: (a) the Issuer is the surviving Person; or (b) the Person formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the
United States, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof (the Issuer or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”); 

(2) the Successor Company (if other than the Issuer) assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, this
Indenture, and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to agreements in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (3) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists; 
 (4) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, either

 (a) the Successor Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to
the Coverage Ratio Exception; or 
 (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or greater than such ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; and 
 (5) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under
this Indenture and the Notes; 
 provided that, for the purposes of this Section 5.01 only, neither a Music
Publishing Sale nor a Recorded Music Sale will be deemed to be a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. For the
avoidance of doubt, (1) the Issuer may therefore consummate a Music Publishing Sale in accordance with Section 4.13 without complying with this Section 5.01 notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01,
(2) the Issuer may therefore consummate a Recorded Music Sale in accordance with Section 4.13 without complying with this Section 5.01 notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01 and (3) the determination
in the preceding proviso shall not affect the determination of what constitutes all or substantially all the assets of the Issuer under any other contract to which the Issuer is a party. 

  
 86 









 For the purpose of this Section 5.01, with respect to any sale, lease, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition of properties or assets in connection with any acquisition (including any acquisition by means of a merger or consolidation with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary), the determination of whether such
sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or disposition constitutes a sale of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole shall be made on a pro forma basis giving effect to such
acquisition. 
 This Section 5.01 will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets
between or among the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries. The foregoing clauses (3) and (4) shall not apply to the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (3) and (4), (i) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with,
merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or to another Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the Issuer may merge with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another state
of the United States so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to the Merger. 

In the event of any transaction described in and complying with the conditions listed in the preceding paragraph in which the Issuer is
not the continuing corporation, the successor Person formed or remaining shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer and the Issuer will be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this
Indenture and the Notes. 
 (b) The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of each proposed transaction an
Officer’s Certificate certifying that the conditions set forth above are satisfied and an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion may contain customary exceptions and qualifications, that the proposed transaction and the supplemental indenture, if
any, comply with this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE SIX 
 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 
 SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. 

Each of the following is an “Event of Default”: 

(1) the Issuer defaults in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or
premium, if any, on the Notes; 
 (2) the Issuer defaults in the payment when due of interest or Special
Interest, if any, on or with respect to the Notes and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 

  
 87 









 (3) the Issuer defaults in the performance of, or breaches any covenant,
warranty or other agreement contained in, this Indenture (other than a default in the performance or breach of a covenant, warranty or agreement which is specifically dealt with in clauses (1) or (2) above) and such default or breach
continues for a period of 60 days after the notice specified below; 
 (4) default under any mortgage, indenture
or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary
(other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date, if (A) such default either (1) results from the failure to pay any principal of
such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or (2) relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in
the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its Stated Maturity and (B) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for
failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $50.0 million (or its foreign currency equivalent) or more at any one time
outstanding; 
 (5) the Issuer 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 all or substantially all of its property, 

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

(E) takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency, 

(F) generally is not able to pay its debts as they become due, or 

(G) takes any corporate action to authorize or effect any of the foregoing; 

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

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

  
 88 









 (B) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or for
all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary, or 
 (C) orders the
liquidation of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; 
 (7) the failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments (net of amounts covered by insurance policies issued by reputable and creditworthy insurance companies) aggregating in
excess of $50.0 million, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and, with respect to any judgments covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been
commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed; or 
 (8) the Guarantee of a
Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or any Guarantee, other than by reason of the discharge of this
Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture, and such Default continues for 10 days. 

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. 
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) occurs with respect to the Issuer and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest
on all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of each Trustee or any Holder. 

If any other Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
outstanding Notes under this Indenture may declare the principal of and accrued interest on such Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice
of acceleration” (the “Acceleration Notice”), and the same: 
 (1) shall become immediately
due and payable; or 
 (2) shall become immediately due and payable upon the first to occur of an acceleration
under any Credit Agreement and five Business Days after receipt by the Issuer of such Acceleration Notice but only if such Event of Default is then continuing. 
 At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the two preceding paragraphs, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel
such declaration and its consequences: 
 (1) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;


  
 89 









 (2) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except
nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration; and 
 (3) to the
extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. 
 (a) If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 (b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Noteholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon a Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of
or acquiescence in the Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 (c) In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived
and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or
guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default
that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured. 
 (d) Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the
Notes except as provided in this Indenture and under the TIA, if provisions from the TIA are incorporated into this Indenture. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, the Trustee is under no obligation to
exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to all provisions of this Indenture and applicable law,
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. 

  
 90 









 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Notes waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default; 
 (a) in the payment of interest on or the
principal of any Note (which may only be waived with the consent of each Holder affected), or 
 (b) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof that pursuant to Section 9.02(b) cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. 
 (c) In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto; provided, however, that if any amendment, waiver or other modification will only affect the Notes then outstanding, only the consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (and not the consent of at least a majority of all Notes), as the case may be, shall be required. This paragraph of this Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of § 316(a)(1)(B) of
the TIA and such § 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA. 
 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. 
 The Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. Subject to Section 7.01, however,
the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Noteholder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability;
provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or
following such direction. 
 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

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

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

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

  
 91 









 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not
complied with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the
request. 
 A Holder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder, to obtain a
preference or priority over another Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty
to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). 
 SECTION 6.07. Rights of
Holders to Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the
absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of and all interest on such Note on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Dates expressed in such Note and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Dates, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default in
payment of principal or interest 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 Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes for the
whole amount of principal and accrued interest and fees remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate
per annum borne by the Notes and such further amounts provided for in Section 7.07. 
 SECTION 6.09. Trustee May
File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Issuer,
its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 

  
 92 









 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any
such proceeding. The Trustee shall be entitled to participate as a member of any officer committee of creditors in the matters as it deems necessary or advisable. 
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. 
 Subject to the provisions of Article Ten, if
the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 

SECOND: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
respectively; and 
 THIRD: to the Issuer. 

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

THE TRUSTEE 

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

  
 93 









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

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture or
in the TIA, and no duties, covenants, responsibilities or obligations shall be implied in this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates (including
Officer’s Certificates) or opinions (including Opinions of Counsel) furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) This paragraph does not limit the
effect of Section 7.01(b). 
 (2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 
 (3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05. 

(d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or to take or omit to take any action under this Indenture or take any action at the request or direction of Holders if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is
not assured to it. 
 (e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way
relates to the Trustee is subject to this Section 7.01. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

(g) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, 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 7.01 and Section 7.02. In the absence of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee shall not be responsible
for the application of any money by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. 

  
 94

(g) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, (including
any Officer’s Certificate), statement, instrument, opinion (including any Opinion of Counsel), notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, upon reasonable notice to the Issuer, to examine the books, records, and

Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture; 

  
 95 









 (k) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; 

(l) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage regardless of the form of action; and 

(m) the Trustee may request that the Issuer and any Guarantor deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of
individuals and/or titles of officers (with specimen signatures) authorized at such times to take specific actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person specified as so authorized in any such
certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 

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

 The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds

the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the uncured Default within 60 days after such Default occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of, or interest on, any Note, including an accelerated payment and the failure to
make payment on the Change of Control Payment Date pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Board of Directors, the
executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers, of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. 

  
 96 









 SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

Within 60 days after each June 1, beginning with June 1, 2012, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events
described in TIA § 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §§ 313(b),
313(c) and 313(d). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed with
the Commission and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. 
 The Issuer shall notify the Trustee if
the Notes become listed on any securities exchange or of any delisting thereof and the Trustee shall comply with TIA § 313(d). 
 SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 
 (1) The Issuer
shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for its services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it in accordance with any provision of
this Indenture, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents
and counsel. 
 (2) The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss,
damage, claims, liability or expense incurred by them except for such actions to the extent caused by any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the Trustee’s part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
of this trust (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or a Guarantee against the Issuer or a Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and 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 its rights, powers or duties hereunder (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other Person)). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim
asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity. The Issuer may, subject to the approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee
may have separate counsel with respect to such claim and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if, subject to the approval of the
Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), it assumes the Trustee’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee subject to the claim in connection with such defense as reasonably determined
by the Trustee. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct. 

  
 97 









 Notwithstanding Section 4.12, to secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’
payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes against all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of
the holders of particular Notes. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01 (5) or (6), such expenses and the compensation for such services shall be paid to the extent allowed under any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of
Trustee. 
 The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Issuer and the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 

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

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; 

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

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer.
Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in
Section 7.07, 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. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its
succession to each Holder. 

  
 98 









 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the
Issuer. 
 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 replacement of the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. 
 If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving
or transferee corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven. 

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirement of TIA §§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$150,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. In addition, if the Trustee is a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the Trustee, independently of the bank holding company, shall meet the capital
requirements of TIA § 310(a)(2). The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or
certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Issuer are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. The provisions of TIA § 310 shall apply to the Issuer and any other
obligor of the Notes. 
 SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. 

The Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA
§ 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated. 

ARTICLE EIGHT 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 This Indenture shall be
discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes, when: 
 (a) either: 

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

  
 99 









 (ii) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
have become due and payable by reason of the mailing or delivery of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable by reason of the mailing or delivery of a notice of redemption or otherwise within one year and the Issuer has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable
Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation of principal, premium and Special
Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the
extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of
redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be
applied toward such redemption; 
 (b) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture;

 (c) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward
the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be; and 
 (d) the Issuer has delivered an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion of counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

 Subject to the next sentence and notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.06,
2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.09. After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and
8.06 shall survive. 
 After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the
discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above. 

  
 100









 SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. 

(a) The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either paragraph (b) or (c) below applied to all outstanding
Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8.03. 
 (b) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph
(a) above of the option applicable to this paragraph (b), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect
to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.04 and the other Sections of this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) referred to in
(i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied all of their obligations under the Subsidiary
Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: 
 (1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of,
or interest or premium and Special Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below; 
 (2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency
for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Article
Eight. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02(b)
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.02(c). 
 (c) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under
paragraph (a) above of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, be released from their obligations under the covenants
contained in Sections 4.03 (with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries only), 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07 and 4.09 through 4.20 and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 8.03 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or
act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for
accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall
not constitute an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) above of
the option applicable to this paragraph (c), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03, clauses (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) of Section 6.01 shall not constitute Events of Default. 

  
 101









 SECTION 8.03. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance described in Section 8.02
to the outstanding Notes: 
 (1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit
of the Holders, cash in U.S. Legal Tender, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. Legal Tender and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify
whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to
the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium
Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of
such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption; 
 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,
(a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the
effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the holders of the respective outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be
subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

  
 102









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

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound (other than a Default or Event of
Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 

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

(7) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion of
counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

SECTION 8.04. Application of Trust Money. 
 All U.S. Legal Tender and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Article Eight shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes; but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Legal Tender and Government Securities, deposited pursuant to Section 8.03 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or
other charge which by law is for the account of the holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Anything in this Article Eight to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the Issuer’s request any U.S. Legal Tender and Government Securities, held by it as provided in Section 8.03 which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

  
 103









 SECTION 8.05. Repayment to the Issuer. 

The Trustee shall pay to the Issuer upon an Issuer request any excess U.S. Legal Tender and Government Securities held by it for the
payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another
Person and all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon cease. 
 SECTION 8.06.
Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender or Government Securities in
accordance with this Article Eight, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Issuer and each of the Guarantors, if any,
under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Eight, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender and
Government Securities in accordance with this Article Eight; provided, however, that if the Issuer or any Guarantor make any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Issuer or Guarantors, if any, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender and Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE NINE 

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 
 SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders.

being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer the Notes; or 

(10) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment of a successor trustee so long as the successor trustee is
otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture. 
 provided that the Issuer has
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate, each stating that such amendment or supplement complies with the provisions of this Section 9.01. 

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. 
 (a) Except as provided for in Section 9.01 and 9.02(b), the Notes or any Guarantee may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or any
Guarantee may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for,
Notes). 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 9.02(a), without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver of this
Indenture, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

  
 105

Significant Subsidiaries in any manner adverse to the Holders; or 
 (7) make any change in the preceding

 (d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or
waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

SECTION 9.03. Reserved. 
 SECTION 9.04. Compliance with TIA. 
 From the date on which this Indenture
is qualified under the TIA, if it is so qualified, every amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 

  
 106









 SECTION 9.05. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

(a) Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and
every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent holder of a Note may revoke the
consent as to his Note or portion of his Note by notice to the Trustee or the Issuer received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have
consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 (b) The Issuer may, but shall
not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph,
those Persons who were Noteholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.
No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. The Issuer shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if applicable. 

(c) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of
Section 9.02(b)(1) through (7), in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s
Note; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 9.06.
Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 
 If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee shall
(if required by the Issuer and in accordance with the specific direction of the Issuer) request the holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee shall (if required by the Issuer and in accordance with the specific direction of the
Issuer) place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a
new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

SECTION 9.07. Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc. 
 The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine; provided that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment,
supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s
Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer
enforceable in accordance with its terms. Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Issuer. 

  
 107









 ARTICLE TEN 
 GUARANTEES 
 SECTION 10.01. Unconditional Guarantee. 

Subject to the provisions of this Article Ten, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the
obligations of the Issuer or any other Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder: (a) (x) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall become
due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise, (y) the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if any, on the Notes and
(z) the due and punctual payment and performance of all other obligations of the Issuer and all other obligations of the other Guarantors (including under the Guarantees), in each case, to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder
(including amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07), all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”); and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any
Notes or any of such other obligations, the due and punctual payment and performance of Guarantee Obligations in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Issuer to the Holders under this Indenture or under the Notes, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform
or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default under the Guarantees, and shall entitle the Holders to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors
thereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Issuer. 
 Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any
provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any particular Note, or any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of
the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes,
this Indenture and the Guarantee. The Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or to any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or
other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and
effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article Ten, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in
Article Six for the purposes of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations
as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Guarantee.

 SECTION 10.02. Reserved. 

SECTION 10.03. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 
 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee,
the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article Ten shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Ten, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

SECTION 10.04. Reserved. 
 SECTION 10.05. Release of a Guarantor. 
 The Guarantee of a Guarantor will
be released in the event that: 
 (a) the sale, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or
consolidation) of all of the Capital Stock (or any sale, disposition or other transfer of Capital Stock or other transaction following which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary), or all or substantially all the assets, of
the applicable Guarantor if such sale, disposition or other transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (b) the Issuer designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.11 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;


  
 109









 (c) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary
of Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Existing Secured Notes and the New Secured Notes (and any refinancings of the Existing Secured Notes or the New Secured Notes), or the guarantee that resulted in the obligation of such
Restricted Subsidiary to guarantee the Notes; 
 (d) the exercise of the Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
by the Issuer pursuant to Section 8.02 or the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with Section 8.01; or 
 (e) during the Suspension Period, upon the merger or consolidation of any Guarantor with and into another Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor with such other Subsidiary being the surviving Person in such
merger or consolidation, or upon liquidation of such Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor. 
 The Trustee shall execute an appropriate instrument prepared by the Issuer evidencing the release of a Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee upon receipt of a request by the Issuer or such
Guarantor accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 10.05; provided, however, that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to
matters of fact on one or more Officer’s Certificates of the Issuer. 
 Except as set forth in Articles Four and Five and
this Section 10.05, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor or shall prevent any Guarantor from consolidating with or
merging into or selling its assets to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary without limitation, or with other Persons. 

SECTION 10.06. Waiver of Subrogation. 
 Until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full, each Guarantor, if any, hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights that it may now or hereafter acquire
against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture or such Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or
under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other assets or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or
other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust
for the benefit of, the Holders, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this 

  
 110









 Section 10.06 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

SECTION 10.07. Immediate Payment. 
 Each Guarantor agrees to make immediate payment to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all Guarantee Obligations owing or payable to the respective Holders upon receipt of a demand for payment
therefor by the Trustee to such Guarantor in writing. 
 SECTION 10.08. No Setoff. 

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor hereunder in respect of the Guarantee Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies
in which such Guarantee Obligations are denominated, and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 SECTION 10.09. Guarantee Obligations Absolute. 
 Subject to the provisions
of Section 10.02, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts expressed to be owing or payable by each Guarantor hereunder which may not be recoverable from such Guarantor on
the basis of a Guarantee shall be recoverable from such Guarantor as a primary obligor and principal debtor in respect thereof. 

SECTION 10.10. Guarantee Obligations Continuing. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. Each Guarantor agrees with the
Trustee that it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability hereunder and under any other instrument or instruments in such form as counsel to the Trustee may advise and as will prevent any
action brought against it in respect of any default hereunder being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the failure of a Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and
agent of such Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from time to time become necessary or advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully
maintain and keep in force the liability of such Guarantor hereunder. 
 SECTION 10.11. Guarantee Obligations Not
Reduced. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged solely by the payment
of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees and other monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article Eight be or become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the
Notes or this Indenture. 

  
 111









 SECTION 10.12. Guarantee Obligations Reinstated. 

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

 SECTION 10.13. Guarantee Obligations Not Affected. 

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

(b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Issuer or any
other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other document or instrument; 
 (c) any failure of the Issuer or any other
Guarantor, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any Guarantee, or to give notice thereof to a Guarantor; 

(d) the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against
the Issuer or any other Person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy; 
 (e) the
granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Issuer or any other Person; 
 (f) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Notes, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure
from, any of the Notes or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes; 

  
 112









 (g) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital
structure or constitution of the Issuer or a Guarantor; 
 (h) any merger or amalgamation of the Issuer or a Guarantor with any
Person or Persons; 
 (i) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction by any
present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Guarantee Obligations or the obligations of a Guarantor under
its Guarantee; and 
 (j) any other circumstance, including release of the Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.05 (other than
by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes or of a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee hereunder. 

SECTION 10.14. Waiver. 
 Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of any Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance
by the Holders upon the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Issuer, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Guarantee Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the
Issuer or any Guarantor of any kind whatsoever. 
 SECTION 10.15. No Obligation To Take Action Against the Issuer.

 Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies against the
Issuer or any other Person or any property of the Issuer or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their Guarantees or under this
Indenture. 
 SECTION 10.16. Dealing with the Issuer and Others. 

The Holders, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any
Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to any Guarantor, may 
 (a) grant time, renewals, extensions,
compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Issuer or any other Person; 
 (b) release,
discharge, compromise, realize, enforce or otherwise deal with or do any act or thing in respect of (with or without consideration) any and all collateral, mortgages or other security given by the Issuer or any third party with respect to the
obligations or matters contemplated by this Indenture or the Notes; 

  
 113









 (c) accept compromises or arrangements from the Issuer; 

(d) apply all monies at any time received from the Issuer or from any security upon such part of the Guarantee Obligations as the Holders
may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Holders may see fit; and 
 (e)
otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Issuer and all other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee may see fit. 
 SECTION 10.17. Default and Enforcement. 
 If any Guarantor fails to pay in
accordance with Section 10.07, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the Guarantee of any such Guarantor and such Guarantor’s obligations thereunder and hereunder by any remedy provided by law,
whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from such Guarantor the obligations. 
 SECTION 10.18. Amendment,
Etc. 
 No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture relating to any Guarantor or consent to any
departure by any Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective unless it is signed by such Guarantor and the Trustee. 
 SECTION 10.19. Acknowledgment. 
 Each Guarantor, if any, hereby
acknowledges communication of the terms of this Indenture and the Notes and consents to and approves of the same. 
 SECTION
10.20. Costs and Expenses. 
 Each Guarantor shall pay on demand by the Trustee any and all costs, fees and expenses
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights under any Guarantee. 

SECTION 10.21. No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. 
 No Guarantee shall operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of a Guarantor under any other agreement, including, without limitation, this Indenture. No failure to exercise and no delay in
exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Guarantee and under this
Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a Guarantor and/or the Issuer and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privilege provided by law. 

  
 114









 SECTION 10.22. Survival of Guarantee Obligations. 

Without prejudice to the survival of any of the other obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, the obligations of each Guarantor under
Section 10.01 shall survive the payment in full of the Guarantee Obligations and shall be enforceable against such Guarantor without regard to and without giving effect to any defense, right of offset or counterclaim available to or which may
be asserted by the Issuer or any Guarantor. 
 SECTION 10.23. Guarantee in Addition to Other Guarantee Obligations.

 The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Indenture are in addition to and not in substitution for any
other obligations to the Trustee or to any of the Holders in relation to this Indenture or the Notes and any guarantees or security at any time held by or for the benefit of any of them. 

SECTION 10.24. Severability. 
 Any provision of this Article Ten which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction unless its removal would substantially defeat the basic intent, spirit and purpose of this Indenture and this Article Ten. 

SECTION 10.25. Successors and Assigns. 
 Each Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Guarantor and the Trustee and the other Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Guarantor may

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

SECTION 1. Interest. WM Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” which term includes any successor
corporation), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 11.50% per annum from July 20, 2011 until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, or if any such
day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the
date of original issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date,
interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be October 1, 2011. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand to the extent lawful at the interest rate applicable to the Notes; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30 day months.

 SECTION 2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons
who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 15 or September 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,
except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any and interest on the
Notes in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”). Principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest,
if any, on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the
register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Company prior to the Record Date will be required to be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Until otherwise designated by the Company, the Company’s office or agency in New York will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose.


  
 124









 SECTION 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any Affiliate may act in any such capacity. 

SECTION 4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of July 20, 2011
(“Indenture”) among the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and, subject to Section 1.03 of the Indenture and the Indenture being qualified under the TIA, those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). The Notes are subject to all such terms (except as aforementioned), and Holders are referred to the
Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

SECTION 5. Optional Redemption. (a) The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 1,
2014, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to, the applicable 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). 
 For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the following terms will have the following definitions: 
 “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any Note on any applicable redemption date, the greater of: 

(1) 1.0% of the then outstanding principal amount of such Note; and 

(2) the excess of: 
 (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the Note at October 1, 2014, as applicable (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing under
paragraph (b) of this Section 5) plus (ii) all required interest payments due on the Note through October 1, 2014, as applicable (excluding accrued but unpaid interest), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate
as of such redemption date plus 75.0 basis points; over 
 (b) the then outstanding principal amount of the Note.

 Calculation of the Applicable Premium will be made by the Issuer or on behalf of the Issuer by such Person as the Issuer
shall designate; provided that such calculation or the correctness thereof shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee. 

  
 125









 “Treasury Rate” means, as of the applicable Redemption Date, the yield to
maturity as of such Redemption Date of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two
business days prior to such Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from such Redemption Date to October 1, 2014;
provided, however, that if the period from such Redemption Date to October 1, 2014 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be
used. 
 (b) On or after October 1, 2014, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes, at its option, at the
redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period
beginning on October 1 of the years indicated below: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2014
	  	 	108.625	% 
	 2015

	  	 	102.875	% 
	 2017 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

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

SECTION 6. Optional Redemption upon Equity Offering. At any time prior to October 1, 2014, the Issuer may on any one or more
occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (including the aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes) issued under the Indenture, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 111.500% of the principal amount of
the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date),
with funds in an aggregate amount not exceeding the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Issuer or any contribution to the Issuer’s common equity capital made with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the
Issuer’s direct or indirect parent; provided that:

Notes originally issued under the Indenture (including the aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 

(b) Any redemption or notice of any redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent,
