Subsidiary of the Company or at the time it merges or consolidates with or into the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person and in each
case whether or not incurred by such Person in connection with, or in anticipation or contemplation of, such Person becoming a Subsidiary of the Company or such merger, consolidation or acquisition. Acquired Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been
incurred on the date such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company or merges or consolidates with or into the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the date of the assumption of such Indebtedness by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as
applicable.

(6) words in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular; 

(7) provisions apply to successive events and transactions; 

(8) “herein,” “hereof” and other words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any

deemed to be subordinate or junior to secured Indebtedness merely by virtue of its nature as unsecured Indebtedness; and 

(10) “$” and “U.S. dollars” each refer to U.S. Legal Tender. 

(b) With respect to amounts denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars: 

(1) For purposes of any determination under this Indenture (other than for purposes of Section 4.08 and Section 4.09)
with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness (a “specified transaction”), in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the U.S. dollar equivalent amount of a specified transaction in a currency other than U.S. dollars shall be
determined by the Company in good faith; provided, that (A) if any Indebtedness is incurred (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) to refinance or replace other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, and
the relevant refinancing or replacement would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if the U.S. dollar equivalent thereof were determined on 

  
 -29- 












 
the date of such refinancing or replacement, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing or replacement
Indebtedness (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, except by an amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest, penalties
and premiums (including tender premiums) thereon plus reasonable and customary fees and expenses (including upfront fees and original issue discount) incurred in connection with such refinancing or replacement and the Indebtedness being refinanced
or replaced, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and (z) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 4.07 and (B) for the avoidance of doubt, no Default or Event of Default shall occur or be deemed to

declared as set forth above.
 (2) For purposes of Section 4.08 and Section 4.09 and the calculation of compliance

 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to this paragraph, all financial ratios and tests (including the Total
Debt to Total Assets Ratio, the Senior Debt to Total Assets Ratio, the Total Unencumbered Assets to Total Unsecured Indebtedness Ratio and the amount of Consolidated Total Assets and the component definitions of any of the foregoing) contained in
this Indenture shall be calculated with respect to any applicable Test Period to give effect to all Subject Transactions on a pro forma basis that occurred on or after the first day of such Test Period and on or prior to the date of any required
calculation of any financial ratio or test (which may be after the end of such Test Period); provided, that solely for purposes of Section 4.08 and Section 4.09, no Subject Transaction occurring after the last day of the Test Period shall

with any Limited Condition Transactions (or any actions and transactions in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction (including the incurrence of any Indebtedness (and related Liens)) and any actions or transactions related thereto,
determination of whether the relevant conditions or requirement described in subclauses (A) through (D) above (the “LCT Requirements”) are satisfied or complied with may be made, at the election of the Company, on the date (the
“LCT Test Date”) the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of irrevocable notice (which may be conditional or subject to deferral) with respect to
Indebtedness or declaration of a dividend or other distribution). 
 (2) If, after giving effect to the Limited Condition Transaction (any
related actions and transactions, including the incurrence of any Indebtedness (and related Liens) and the use of proceeds thereof and related Subject Transactions) and any related pro forma adjustments on a pro forma basis, the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such actions or consummate such Limited Condition Transaction (and all related actions and transactions) on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with any applicable LCT Requirements, all
applicable LCT Requirements shall be deemed to have been complied with (or satisfied) for all purposes and the Company and its Subsidiaries may consummate such Limited Condition Transaction and take or consummate all related actions and transactions
at any time subsequent to the LCT Test Date regardless of whether any LCT Requirement determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time subsequent to such LCT Test Date fail to be complied with or satisfied for any reason whatsoever
(including due to the occurrence or existence of any event, fact or circumstance), and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction and taking or consummation

contemplated in the foregoing clause (a), compliance with such ratios, tests or baskets (and any related requirements and conditions) shall not be determined or tested at any time after the applicable LCT Test Date.

date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement, the notice of redemption, purchase or repayment or the declaration for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires, passes or is
revoked, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test, basket, cap or threshold shall be determined or tested giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Transaction (and related actions and
transactions); 
 provided that solely for the purposes of Section 4.08 and Section 4.09, the provisions of this clause
(f) shall not apply.

calculation of any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Total Debt to Total Assets Ratio test, any Senior Debt to Total Assets Ratio test, any Total Unencumbered Assets to Total Unsecured Indebtedness Ratio and/or the amount
of Consolidated Total Assets), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject to clause (b) above), such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and
no Default or Event of Default shall occur or be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after such calculation.

entered into or consummated, in reliance on a Fixed Basket (including the Base Incremental Amount) in a concurrent transaction, a single transaction or a series of related transactions with the amount incurred, or transaction entered into or
consummated, under an applicable Non-Fixed Basket, in each case of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), shall be disregarded in the calculation of such Non-Fixed
Basket. For all purposes hereunder, (i) “Fixed Basket” shall mean any Basket that is subject to a fixed-dollar limit (including Baskets based on a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets), (ii) “Non-Fixed Basket” shall mean any Basket that is subject to compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any financial ratio) (any such ratio or test, a “Financial
Incurrence Test”) and (iii) “Basket” means any amount, threshold, exception or value (including by reference to the Senior Debt to Total Assets Ratio, the Total Debt to Total Assets Ratio, the Total Unencumbered Assets to

used therein): 

  
 -32-

(including, without limitation, sub-clauses, sub-categories or sub-items) permitted pursuant to Section 4.07 or in any
defined term used therein, in each case, the Company, in its sole discretion, may, at any time and from time to time, divide, classify or reclassify such transaction or item (or portion thereof) under one or more Baskets (and/or applicable defined
terms) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction (or portion thereof) in any one applicable Basket thereof; provided that, (i) upon delivery of any financial statements under this Indenture following
the initial incurrence of any portion of any Indebtedness (such portion of Indebtedness, the “Subject Indebtedness”) following the Issue Date, if any such Subject Indebtedness could have been incurred under the Ratio Basket, such
Subject Indebtedness shall, unless otherwise elected by the Company, automatically be reclassified as incurred under the Ratio Basket and (ii) all term loans outstanding on the Issue Date under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, to the extent
outstanding, shall be deemed to have been incurred on the Issue Date under clause (s) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” and may not be reclassified to another Basket. 

(2) It is understood and agreed that (A) any Indebtedness and any related transactions need not be permitted solely by reference to one
category (or subcategory) or item (or sub-item) under Section 4.07 (including any applicable defined terms used therein), but may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof within such
covenant and/or applicable defined terms and of any other available Basket and (B) the Company (x) shall in its sole discretion determine under which Baskets (including sub-categories and sub-items) such Indebtedness and any related transactions (or, in each case, any portion thereof), as applicable, are permitted and (y) shall be permitted from time to time, in its sole discretion, to make any
redetermination and/or to divide, re-divide, classify or reclassify under which Baskets (including sub-categories and sub-items)
such Indebtedness and any related transaction are permitted, including reclassifying any utilization of Fixed Baskets as incurred under any available Non-Fixed Baskets, in each case, within such covenant
and/or applicable defined terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Indebtedness shall be allocated to each such Basket shall be determined by the Company at the time of such division, classification,
re-division or re-classification, as applicable. 
 (k) With
respect to Designated Revolving Commitments (to the extent loans funded under such Designated Revolving Commitments would constitute Indebtedness) (i) except for purposes of determining actual compliance with Section 4.08 and
Section 4.09, such Designated Revolving Commitments will be deemed an incurrence of Indebtedness on the date of the establishment thereof and will be deemed outstanding for purposes of calculating the Senior Debt to Total Assets Ratio, the
Total Debt to Total Assets Ratio and the availability of any baskets hereunder and (ii) commencing on the date such Designated Revolving Commitments are established after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of the entire committed amount
of the Indebtedness thereunder (but without netting any cash proceeds thereof), and so long as such incurrence is permitted hereunder on such date of establishment, such committed amount under such Designated Revolving Commitments may thereafter be
borrowed (and reborrowed, if applicable), in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with any basket or financial ratio or test under this Indenture. 

(l) Interest on a Finance Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by an Officer of the Company to

 SECTION 2.01
Amount of Notes Unlimited. 
 The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture
is unlimited and the Company may issue an unlimited principal amount of Additional Notes under this Indenture having identical terms as the Notes initially issued under this Indenture on the Issue Date (other than issue date, and, if applicable,
issue price, the first Interest Payment Date and the date from which interest will accrue, and except that any such Additional Notes may, but need not, be subject to or include transfer restrictions); provided that if any Additional Notes are
not fungible with the Notes initially issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have separate CUSIP and ISIN numbers from the Notes initially issued on the Issue Date. The Company may issue Additional
Notes in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, including the provisions of Section 4.07 and 4.08. The Notes initially issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under this Indenture will be treated as a single
class for all purposes under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.02 Form and Dating; Denominations. 

The Notes (including Global Notes) and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes shall bear such legends as may be required by Appendix A hereto (which is incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture)
and may have such other notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage. The Company shall approve the forms of the Notes and any notation, legend or endorsement
on them. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

Unless otherwise provided in an Officers’ Certificate, Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes in
registered form without coupons, which shall be deposited with the Note Custodian, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, and shall bear the applicable legends required by Appendix A. The aggregate
principal amount of a Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar and the Note Custodian, and on the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Note” attached to such
Global Note. 
 Notes may be issued in the form of Certificated Notes in registered form without coupons and that do not bear a Global Note
Legend, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, in exchange for interests in Global Notes only in the circumstances and manner set forth in Section 2.15 and in compliance with the provisions, if
applicable, of Appendix A. 
 SECTION 2.03 Execution and Authentication. 

An Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual, facsimile or electronic image scan (e.g., pdf) signature. 

If an 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 nevertheless be valid. 

  
 -34- 












 The Trustee shall authenticate Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate
principal amount of $400,000,000 (the “Initial Notes”) upon receipt by the Trustee of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. In addition, the Trustee shall from time to time thereafter authenticate
Additional Notes in unlimited amount (so long as not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.07) for original issue upon receipt by the Trustee of a written order of the Company in the form
of an Officers’ Certificate. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may
deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with
such written order of the Company shall authenticate and deliver such Notes. 
 A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of
the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the Note by manual, facsimile or electronic signature, provided that any electronic signature is a true representation of the signer’s actual signature. The signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable
to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes
authentication by such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company and Affiliates of the Company. 

SECTION 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company shall maintain an office or agency in the United States of America where (a) Notes may be presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), (b) Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes
and this Indenture may be served. The Company may also from time to time designate (without notice to Holders) one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and where such notices
and demands may be served and may from time to time rescind or change such designations; provided, however, that no such designation, rescission or change shall relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in
the United States of America for such purposes. The Company may change or remove any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to any Holder so long as there is a Paying Agent and Registrar in
United States of America. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation, rescission, removal or change referred to in the two immediately preceding sentences. The Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries may
act as Registrar, co-Registrar or Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company, upon notice to the Trustee but without notice to Holders, may
appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and may rescind the appointment of and change any such
co-Registrars or additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. 

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall implement the
provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. 

The Company hereby appoints the Trustee, acting through its Corporate Trust Office in the United States of America, as initial Paying Agent
and Registrar for the Notes.

 SECTION 2.05 Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. 

On or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Company
shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in
trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If
the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee
and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, the 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 Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request in writing, a list in
such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders. 
 SECTION 2.07 Transfer and
Exchange. 
 Subject to Section 2.15 and, if applicable, the provisions of Appendix A, 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 register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements and any applicable requirements under Appendix A 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 Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the
Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. The Company, the Registrar, any co-Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder to furnish such endorsements and transfer documents as any of
them may reasonably request in connection with the registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, in addition to any documents that otherwise are required or may be required as provided in this Indenture (including Exhibit A hereto). A Note may not
be transferred or exchanged unless such Note shall have been surrendered at an office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee or any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-Registrar for any registration of transfer or exchange (other than pursuant to Section 2.08), but the Company, the Registrar or any co-Registrar may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 All Notes issued upon any
registration of transfer or exchange of other Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange. 
 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, prior to the due presentment of any Note for registration of transfer or
exchange, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and (subject to the Record
Date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 -36- 












 The Registrar or any co-Registrar shall not be
required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing (or, if not mailed, other transmittal) of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of
business on the day of such mailing (or other transmittal), (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (iii) tendered for repurchase pursuant to a
Change of Control Offer and not validly 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 Notes may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Depositary for such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in
the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system. 
 SECTION 2.08 Replacement Notes. 

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or stolen, and if
the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met
and subject to satisfaction of any additional requirements, if applicable, as may be set forth in Appendix A hereto. Such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both the Company and the Trustee to
protect the Company, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for the reasonable expenses of the Company, the Trustee and any Agent in replacing a Note pursuant to
this Section 2.08, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Company, the Trustee or any Agent, as well as any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company. 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the provisions of this Section 2.08 shall be exclusive and shall preclude all other
rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
 SECTION 2.09 Outstanding
Notes. 
 Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it,
those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions and increases in the interests in Global Notes effected by the Trustee, the Registrar or the Note Custodian in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not
outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company 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 a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in the State of New York. 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 any Redemption Date, maturity date, Change of Control Payment Date or any other date on which a payment of principal of a Note is due, the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the
Company or an Affiliate thereof) holds U.S. Legal Tender in an amount sufficient to pay all of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on such Note payable on that date, then on and after that date such Note ceases to be outstanding and
interest on it ceases to accrue. 

  
 -37- 












 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 Company or any of its Affiliates shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in conclusively 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 Company 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 Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in
exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Holders of definitive Notes. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Notes may be in
typewritten form. 
 SECTION 2.12 Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, any
co-Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, and no one
else, shall cancel and dispose of all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures and deliver evidence of such disposal to the Company upon its written request
therefor. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company or any Affiliate 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. 

SECTION 2.13 Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent lawful, any
interest payable on the defaulted interest at the rate provided in the last paragraph of Section 4.01, in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The
Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and the related payment date and shall promptly mail or cause the Trustee (at the request and expense of the Company) to mail (or, in the case of Global Notes, otherwise transmit in
accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee (if mailed or transmitted by the Company), a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to
be paid. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the defaulted interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of defaulted interest owed, or with respect to the
method employed in such calculation of the defaulted interest. 

  
 -38- 












 SECTION 2.14 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers in notices
of redemption, repurchase, Change of Control Offers or exchanges and on checks or advice of payment as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect
in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers that appear on any Note or any such notice, check or advice of payment, and any such notice or advice of payment may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP or ISIN numbers
and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and no such redemption, repurchase, Change of Control Offer, exchange, advice or payment shall be affected by any defect in or omission of any such
numbers. 
 SECTION 2.15 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. 

(a) Unless otherwise specified in an Officers’ Certificate or as provided in 2.15(b) below, the Global Notes shall (i) be registered
in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Note Custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear such legends as may be required by Appendix A hereto. 

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any
Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or the Note Custodian, or under the Global Notes, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any Agent as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company 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
Participants, the operation of Depositary’s customary procedures governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder or beneficial owner of any Note. 

(b) Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers 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 exchanged for Certificated Notes only as follows and subject, if applicable, to the further requirements set forth in this Indenture, including Appendix A hereto. Certificated Notes
shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Notes if (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or
ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act (if such registration is required by applicable law) and the Company does not appoint a successor Depositary for the Notes within 90 days after the Company receives such notification
or becomes aware that the Depositary has ceased to be so registered, as the case may be, (2) the Company, at its option and subject to the Depositary’s procedures, notifies the Trustee in writing that the Company elects to cause the
issuance of Certificated Notes or (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default. The Trustee and the Registrar shall have no obligation to effect an exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes pursuant to clause
(3) of the immediately preceding sentence until receipt of a written request from the Company. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and
issued in any authorized denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and, if applicable, will bear the applicable restrictive legends referred to in Appendix A hereto unless the Company
determines otherwise or such legend shall have been removed as provided in Appendix A hereto, and in any event subject, if applicable, to the requirements set forth in Appendix A hereto.

 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION 
 SECTION 3.01
Notices to Trustee. 
 If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 5 of the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and whether the redemption is being made pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of Section 5 of the Notes. 

The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.01 at least five days before notice of redemption is
required to be mailed (or otherwise transmitted) to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee in writing); provided that such notice may be revoked by the Company by written notice to the
Trustee at any time prior to the time on the date specified by the Company for the Trustee to forward notice of such redemption to Holders as provided in Section 3.03 or, if the Company does not request the Trustee to forward notice of such
redemption to Holders, at any time prior to the Company’s giving of the notice of such redemption to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03. 

SECTION 3.02 Selection of Notes To Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Notes for redemption will be selected pro rata or by lot; provided that,
in the case of Notes represented by one or more Global Notes, interests in such Global Notes will be selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance with its applicable procedures therefor. Notes shall be redeemed in a minimum principal
amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note redeemed in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture
that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed. 

SECTION 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.05, notice of any redemption of the Notes will be mailed by the Company by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, or, if the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes and if the Depositary’s applicable procedures so provide, transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures therefor, at least 15 but not
more than 60 days before the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address (or at such other address or in such other manner as may be provided by the Depositary’s applicable procedures). Each
notice for redemption shall identify the Notes (including the CUSIP number) to be redeemed and include statements to substantially the following effect (with such changes therein or additions thereto as the Company in its sole discretion may deem
appropriate): 
 (1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the redemption price (or, if not then ascertainable at the time, a general statement regarding how the redemption price
will be calculated) and that accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed shall be paid to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive
interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date); 
 (3) the name and address of the
Paying Agent; 

  
 -40- 












 (4) that the Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
Agent to collect the redemption price plus accrued interest, if any; 
 (5) if less than all the outstanding Notes are to be
redeemed, the identification and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed and stating that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of that Note, the Holder will receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized
denominations for the principal amount of the Note remaining unredeemed (or, in the case of Global Notes, appropriate adjustments of the principal amount of a Global Note will be made, as applicable); 

(6) that, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption as long as the Company has deposited with a Paying Agent, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, funds in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on such Redemption
Date and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, such Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such
Redemption Date), and the only remaining right of the Holders of the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption will be to receive payment of the redemption price and such accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon surrender of the Notes to be
redeemed to the Paying Agent; and 
 (1) any conditions to such redemption as determined by the Company in its sole
discretion, and, if such redemption is subject to conditions, the Company may at its option also include a statement to the effect that the Redemption Date may be delayed, on one or more occasions and in the Company’s sole discretion, either
(at the Company’s option) to a date specified by the Company in such notice or in a subsequent notice to Holders (subject, if the Company shall so elect, to the satisfaction of any or all such conditions or the Company’s written waiver of
any such conditions that are not satisfied) or until such time as any or all such conditions have been satisfied or waived by the Company in writing, and that, if any such condition shall not have been satisfied as and when required (as determined
by the Company in its sole discretion and taking into account any election by the Company to delay such Redemption Date), then (unless the Company shall have waived in writing any such conditions that are not satisfied), the Company shall have no
obligation to redeem the Notes called for redemption on such Redemption Date (as the same may have been delayed by the Company as aforesaid) and may cancel such proposed redemption and rescind such notice of redemption, or any other statement that
the Company in its sole discretion may deem necessary or advisable concerning matters described in Section 3.05 or to implement any provision of Section 3.05. 

At the Company’s written request (which shall specify the date and, at the option of the Company, the time at which the notice of
redemption shall be given), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense unless the Company shall have revoked such notice of redemption as provided in Section 3.01. In such event,
the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.03 at least five Business Days prior to the Trustee giving the notice of redemption, unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. 

The notice, if mailed (or otherwise transmitted) in a manner herein provided, 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 to transmit such notice in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures) 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. 

  
 -41- 












 SECTION 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed (or otherwise transmitted) in accordance with Section 3.03 and all conditions (if any) to such
redemption are satisfied as and when required (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion and taking into account any election by the Company to delay the applicable Redemption Date as provided in Section 3.05) or the Company waives in
writing any such conditions that are not satisfied, (i) Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date (or, if the Company has delayed such Redemption Date, the applicable delayed Redemption Date (as defined in
Section 3.05), as the case may be) and at the applicable redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable) (subject to the right of Holders
of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date), (ii) upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes or portions thereof called for redemption shall be paid at
the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (or, if the Company has delayed such Redemption Date, to, but excluding, the applicable delayed Redemption Date, as the case may
be), except that the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be) shall be paid to the Persons who were the Holders of record at the close of business on
the applicable Record Date, and (iii) on and after the applicable Redemption Date (or, if the Company has delayed such Redemption Date, the applicable delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be) interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption. 
 SECTION 3.05 Conditions to Redemption. 

(a) Any redemption of the Notes may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, which shall be
described in the related notice of redemption to Holders of Notes, which conditions may include, without limitation, completion of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings or other securities offerings or other financings, transactions or events. If
such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice to Holders of Notes may (at the option of the Company) include a statement to the effect that the Redemption Date may be delayed, on one or more occasions
and in the Company’s sole discretion, either (at the Company’s option) to a date specified by the Company in such notice or in a subsequent notice to such Holders (subject, if the Company shall so elect, to satisfaction of any or all such
conditions or the Company’s written waiver of any such conditions that are not satisfied) or until such time as any or all of such conditions have been satisfied or waived by the Company in writing, and that, if any such conditions shall not
have been satisfied as and when required (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion and taking into account any election by the Company to delay such Redemption Date), then (unless the Company shall have waived in writing any such
conditions that are not satisfied), the Company shall have no obligation to redeem the Notes called for redemption on such Redemption Date (as the same may have been delayed by the Company as aforesaid) and may cancel such proposed redemption and
rescind any notice of such redemption. In order to delay any Redemption Date (or to further delay any delayed Redemption Date (as defined below)), the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee at least two Business Days before such
Redemption Date (or such delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be), to the effect that the Company has elected to delay such Redemption Date (or such delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be) and specifying the new Redemption Date (a
“delayed Redemption Date”) (which may, at the Company’s option, be specified as the date on which any or all conditions to such redemption are satisfied (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) or waived by the Company),
and the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes that were to be redeemed in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. The Company may delay any Redemption Date on one or more occasions. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether or not a condition set forth in such notice of redemption is satisfied, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Company’s determination regarding the
satisfaction or waiver thereof. 

  
 -42- 












 (b) If all conditions precedent (if any) to any redemption of the Notes shall not have been
satisfied as and when required (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion and taking into account any election by the Company to delay such Redemption Date) or waived by the Company in writing and the Company has not elected to delay (or
further delay) the applicable Redemption Date (or the applicable delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be), the Company shall provide written notice to the effect that the Company has elected to cancel such redemption to the Trustee prior to
close of business two Business Days prior to such Redemption Date (or such delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be). Upon the Trustee’s receipt of such notice, the notice of such redemption shall be automatically rescinded and such
redemption shall be automatically cancelled and the Company shall have no obligation to redeem the Notes called for redemption. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes that were to
have been redeemed in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. 
 SECTION 3.06 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

Prior to or on the Redemption Date, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions specified in the applicable notice of redemption pursuant to
Section 3.05, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable)), on all Notes and portions of Notes to
be redeemed on the Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable), other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

state: 
 (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Indenture and that all Notes that are validly

extension (in the case where such notice is mailed or otherwise delivered prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control) in the event that the occurrence of the Change of Control is delayed; 

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

(4) that any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the

 (5) that Holders electing to have a portion of a Note purchased pursuant to
a Change of Control Offer may only elect to have such Note purchased in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that the remaining principal amount of any such Note surrendered for repurchase in
part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 
 (6) that if a Holder elects to have a Note
purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer it will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of or attached to the Note duly completed, to the Person and at the
address specified in the notice (or, in the case of Global Notes, to surrender the Note and provide the information required by such form in accordance with the applicable procedures, if any, of the Depositary) prior to the close of business on the
third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their
tendered Notes and their election to require the Company to purchase such Notes; provided, that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the expiration date of the Change of Control
Offer, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;
and 
 (8) that if any Note is purchased only in part a new Note will be issued in principal amount equal to the unpurchased
portion of the Note surrendered. 
 (c) On or before the Change of Control Payment Date for the Notes, the Company will, to the extent
lawful: 
 (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof) validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; provided that if, following repurchase of a portion of a Note, the remaining principal amount thereof would be less than $2,000, then the portion
of such Note so repurchased shall be reduced so that the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase is $2,000; 

(2) deposit with a Paying Agent an amount equal to the payment due in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and
not withdrawn; 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted for payment; and

tendering Holder an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price of the Notes validly tendered by such Holder and not withdrawn and accepted by the Company for purchase. Further, the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee,
upon written request from the Company, shall authenticate and mail or deliver (including by book-entry transfer) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note accepted for payment (it being
understood 

  
 -46- 












 
that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to authenticate and mail or deliver any such
new Note). Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered (including by book-entry transfer) by the Company or the Trustee to the Holder thereof. 

(e) Interest on Notes (or portions thereof) validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue on
and after the applicable Change of Control Payment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price of the Notes).

(g) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer for the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third
party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture that are applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control or a Change of Control Triggering Event conditioned
upon the occurrence of such a Change of Control or Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement regarding such Change of Control is in effect at the time of making the Change of Control Offer. 

(h) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that any securities laws or regulations conflict with
the provisions of this Indenture relating to a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions of this Indenture by
virtue thereof. 
 (i) The provisions of this Indenture relating to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes
as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event (including the definitions relating thereto) and the terms of any such offer may, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.02, be waived or modified with the written consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 
 SECTION 4.07 Limitation on Incurrence of Additional
Indebtedness. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become liable for payment or repayment of (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness) other than Permitted Indebtedness; provided, that, without
limitation (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in addition to any Permitted Indebtedness), the Company and the Guarantors will be permitted to incur Indebtedness (this proviso, the “Ratio Basket”) consisting of (x) prior to the
Collateral Fall-Away Event, Unsecured Indebtedness, First Lien Obligations and Junior Priority Obligations and (y) after the Collateral Fall-Away Event, Unsecured Indebtedness and Secured Indebtedness, in an unlimited amount so long as, after
giving effect to the incurrence of the relevant Indebtedness, 

  
 -47- 












 (a) with respect to any such Indebtedness being incurred under the Ratio Basket prior to the
occurrence of the Collateral Fall-Away Event, (i) if such Indebtedness is First Lien Obligations, the Senior Debt to Total Assets Ratio does not exceed the greater of (A) 80% or (B) if such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with any
Acquisition or other investment not prohibited by this Indenture, the Senior Debt to Total Assets Ratio immediately prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, or (ii) if such Indebtedness constitutes Unsecured Indebtedness or Junior Priority
Obligations, the Total Debt to Total Assets Ratio does not exceed the greater of (A) 82% or (B) if such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with any Acquisition or other investment not prohibited by this Indenture, the Total Debt to Total
Assets Ratio immediately prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, and 
 (b) with respect to any such Indebtedness being incurred under
the Ratio Basket on or after the occurrence of the Collateral Fall-Away Event, (i) if such Indebtedness is Secured Indebtedness, the Secured Debt to Total Assets Ratio does not exceed the greater of (A) 80% or (B) if such Indebtedness is
incurred in connection with any Acquisition or other investment not prohibited by this Indenture, the Secured Debt to Total Assets Ratio immediately prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, or (ii) if such Indebtedness is Unsecured
Indebtedness, the Total Debt to Total Assets Ratio does not exceed the greater of (A) 82% or (B) if such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with any Acquisition or other investment not prohibited by this Indenture, the Total Debt to Total
Assets Ratio immediately prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, in each case of the foregoing, calculated on a pro forma basis including all pro forma adjustments in accordance with this Indenture, including the application of the proceeds
thereof. 
 SECTION 4.08 Maintenance of Total Debt to Total Assets Ratio. 

As of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, the Company shall not permit the
Total Debt to Total Assets Ratio to be greater than 83.333% (the “Total Debt to Total Assets Financial Covenant”); provided that the Total Debt to Total Assets Financial Covenant shall not be tested at the end of any fiscal
quarter ending after the occurrence of a Collateral Fall-Away Event. 
 SECTION 4.09 Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets to
Unsecured Indebtedness Ratio. 
 As of the last day of each fiscal quarter ending after the Collateral Fall-Away Event, commencing, if
applicable, with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, the Company shall not permit the Total Unencumbered Assets to Total Unsecured Indebtedness Ratio to be less than 1.20 to 1.00 (the “Total Unencumbered Assets to Total
Unsecured Indebtedness Ratio Financial Covenant” and, together with the Total Debt to Total Assets Financial Covenant, the “Financial Covenants”). 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, any breach of a Financial Covenant will be deemed to be cured if the
applicable financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.10, for a subsequent fiscal quarter demonstrating compliance with the Financial Covenant applicable at such time for such subsequent fiscal quarter are delivered to the Holders of
the outstanding Notes, unless as at such date the Trustee or the requisite Holders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.01 on account of such Event of Default occurring as a result of such breach of
Section 4.08 or this Section 4.09, as applicable. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Total Debt to
Total Assets Financial Covenant shall not be deemed to apply from and after the occurrence of a Collateral Fall-Away Event and no breach with respect to the Total Debt to Total Assets Financial Covenant (whether or not continuing) prior to the
Collateral Fall-Away Event shall be deemed to apply from and after the Collateral Fall-Away Event. 

  
 -48- 












 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with any Financial Covenant for any fiscal quarter, the Company shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) (at any time during such fiscal quarter or thereafter until the
date that is 15 Business Days after the date on which financial statements for such fiscal quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.10, as applicable) to issue Qualified Capital Stock for cash or otherwise receive cash
contributions in respect of its Qualified Capital Stock (the “Cure Amount”), and thereupon the Company’s compliance with any Financial Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to a pro forma increase in the amount of
Consolidated Total Assets by an amount equal to the Cure Amount solely for the purpose of determining compliance with any Financial Covenant as of the end of such fiscal quarter and for applicable subsequent fiscal quarters. If, after giving effect
to the foregoing recalculation (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account any repayment of Indebtedness in connection with determining compliance with such Financial Covenant for the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Cure
Right is exercised), the requirements of such Financial Covenant would be satisfied, then such requirements shall be deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply
therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such Financial Covenant that had occurred (or would have occurred) shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (I) in
each four consecutive fiscal quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters (which may, but are not required to be, consecutive) in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (II) during the term of this Indenture, the Cure Right shall
not be exercised more than five times, (III) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for the purpose of complying with the Financial Covenants, (IV) upon the Trustee’s receipt of a written notice from the Company
that the Company intends to exercise the Cure Right until the 15th Business Day following the date on which financial statements for the fiscal quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.10, as applicable, neither the Trustee
nor any Holder shall exercise any right to accelerate the Notes, and none of the Trustee nor any Holder or Notes Secured Party shall exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of the Collateral or any other right or remedy under this
Indenture, the Notes, or the Security Documents solely on the basis of the relevant Event of Default under the Financial Covenants, (V) there shall be no pro forma reduction of the amount of Indebtedness by the amount of any Cure Amount for
purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant for the fiscal quarter in respect of which the Cure Right was exercised and (VI) for the fiscal quarter with respect to which any Cure Amount is included in the calculation of
Consolidated Total Assets as of the last day thereof as a result of any exercise of the Cure Right, such increase to Consolidated Total Assets as a result of applying such Cure Amount shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether any
financial ratio or test or Basket set forth in this Indenture has been satisfied (other than any direct or indirect condition or requirement under any applicable Basket to be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the Financial Covenants).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, a Cure Amount in respect of the Total Unencumbered Assets to Total Unsecured Indebtedness Ratio Financial Covenant shall not be permitted to be used to cure such Financial Covenant if the
Cure Amount is or would be “collateral” or otherwise subject to a lien in respect of any Indebtedness of the Company or Subsidiary. 

SECTION 4.10 Reports to Holders. 

(a) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC and so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will mail or
otherwise transmit to the Holders of the outstanding Notes: 
 (1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would
be required to be contained in Items 6, 7, 7A and 8 of Part II of a filing with the SEC on Form 10-K and Items 1, 2, and 3 of Part I of a filing with the SEC on Form
10-Q, as applicable, if the Company were required to file such forms pursuant to the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and, with respect to the annual information
only, a report on the Company’s annual financial statements by the Company’s independent public accounting firm, in each case within 15 days after the last day of the applicable time period for filing with the SEC (plus any applicable
extensions of such time period) specified in the relevant form or in the rules and regulations of the SEC or any other applicable laws, rules or regulations; and 

  
 -49- 












 (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on
Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports pursuant to the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, in each case within three Business Days after the last
day of the applicable time period for filing with the SEC (plus any applicable extensions of such time period) specified in Form 8-K or in the rules and regulations of the SEC or any other applicable laws,
rules or regulations; provided, however, that no such report will be required to be furnished to the extent such report would be required by Items 1.04, 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 5.02(e), 5.03, 5.04, 5.05, 5.06, 5.07 or 5.08 of Form 8-K; 
 provided, however, that, in the event that the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements
of Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, (i) the time periods for filing of the foregoing information and reports (collectively, the “Financial Reports”) specified in the relevant forms or rules and regulations of the SEC or
any other applicable laws, rules or regulations as described in clauses (1) and (2) above shall be those applicable to a non-accelerated filer or shall otherwise be the longest available time period under
such forms, rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable laws, rules or regulations, as the case may be, (plus any applicable extensions of such time period) and (ii) the Financial Reports (A) will not be required to comply with
Section 302 or Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, or Item 10(e) of Regulation
S-K or Regulation G (with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein) promulgated by the SEC, (B) will not be required to include information
required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, (C) will not be required to include financial statements for any acquired entity, businesses or assets (whether acquired by merger,
consolidation, acquisition of assets or Capital Stock or otherwise) unless such acquisition has occurred and such financial statements would be required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC to be included in an annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly report on Form 10-Q or current report on Form 8-K of the Company, as the case may be; provided that, notwithstanding that such Rule 3-05 or any other law, rule or regulation would require that some or all of such
financial statements be audited, the Company may nonetheless deliver unaudited financial statements unless the Company shall have obtained such audited financial statements in connection with such acquisition, and provided, further,
that the Company shall in no event be required to provide any financial statements as of dates or for periods earlier or other than the dates or periods that would otherwise be required by such Rule 3-05 for
any such acquisition, and (D) will not be required to include the schedules identified in Rule 5-04 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC. For purposes of
clarity, it is understood and agreed that (x) the Company may, in its sole discretion, include in any of the Financial Reports information in addition to that specified in clauses (1) and (2) above and any information that it would
otherwise be entitled to omit pursuant to the provisions described above, and (y) no financial statements shall be required for the acquisition or disposition of any entity, business or assets (whether acquired or disposed of by merger,
consolidation, acquisition or disposition of assets or Capital Stock or otherwise) unless such acquisition or disposition, as the case may be, shall have occurred. 

(b) The Company agrees to make available to Holders of any outstanding Notes and to prospective purchasers designated by such Holders, upon
request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as such Notes (other than Notes held by the Company or an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the
Company) are not freely transferable under the Securities Act. 

  
 -50- 












 (c) If the Company is a Subsidiary of any direct or indirect parent entity, the Financial
Reports required pursuant to Section 4.10(a) above may be those of such parent entity instead of the Company; provided that, if there are material differences (as determined in good faith by the Company) between the consolidated results
of operations and financial condition of such parent entity and its consolidated Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, on the other hand, the quarterly and annual Financial Reports required by
Section 4.10(a) will include a presentation (which may be unaudited), either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes thereto, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries (it being
understood and agreed that such presentation may take the form of a condensed consolidating statement of operations and a condensed consolidating balance sheet (in each case without notes thereto) or a presentation similar to that required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC (whether or not such rule is applicable) for the applicable periods). 

(d) Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to mail, transmit
or otherwise furnish any Financial Report or other information pursuant to Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(c) above by (a) filing or furnishing such Financial Report or other information (or another document containing the information
that would otherwise have been included in such Financial Report or containing such other information, as applicable) with the SEC for public availability or (b) posting such Financial Report or other information (or another document containing
the information that would otherwise have been included in such Financial Report or containing such other information) on a website (which may be a password protected website) hosted by the Company or by a third party, in each case within the
applicable time period specified above. 
 (e) If any Financial Report or other information required by this Section 4.10 (or any other
document referred to in Section 4.10(d) above) is not filed, mailed, posted, transmitted or otherwise furnished within the applicable time period specified above and such Financial Report or other information (or other document) is subsequently
mailed, filed, posted, transmitted or otherwise furnished, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 4.10 with respect to such Financial Report or other information (or other document), as the case may be,
and any Default or Event of Default with respect thereto or resulting therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and any acceleration of the Notes resulting therefrom shall be deemed to have been rescinded so long as such rescission would not
conflict with any applicable judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 If delivered to the Trustee, such delivery of any
such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the same shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information
contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder. 
 SECTION 4.11 Future Subsidiary
Guarantors. 
 The Company will cause each Wholly Owned Subsidiary (x) that is a Domestic Subsidiary and not an Excluded Subsidiary
or (y) that guarantees or becomes a borrower under any First Lien Obligations or (z) after the Collateral Fall-Away Event, that guarantees or becomes a borrower under any Indebtedness (I) incurred under the Ratio Basket (or any
Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof), (II) incurred pursuant to paragraph (r) or (s) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) or (III) any Capital Markets

liens created thereunder. Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Subsidiary without rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee, as it relates to such Subsidiary, voidable under
applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Each Subsidiary Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Section 10.05.

 SECTION 4.12 After-acquired Collateral. 

(a) Subject to the limitations and exceptions in clause (b) below, if property that is of a type that constitutes Collateral is acquired
by the Company or a Guarantor (including property of a Person that becomes a new Guarantor) that is not automatically subject to a perfected security interest under the Security Documents, then the Company or such Guarantor will provide a Lien
over such property (or, in the case of a new Guarantor, such of its property) in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent to the extent the corresponding action is taken for the benefit of the holders of any other First Lien Obligations. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) no Obligor will be required to (i) take any action outside of the
United States to grant or perfect a security interest in any asset located outside of the United States or (ii) execute any security agreement, pledge agreement, mortgage, deed, charge or other collateral document governed by the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United States, and (b) no Obligor will be required to (i) seek any landlord lien waiver, estoppel, warehouseman waiver or other collateral access or similar letter or agreement and/or (ii) perfect (other

CONSOLIDATION 
 SECTION 5.01 Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets. 

(a) The Company will not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell,
assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets determined on a consolidated basis (other than sales, assignments, transfers, leases, conveyances or other dispositions of
Securitization Assets, investments or other securities or assets, in each case in the ordinary course of business) to any Person, unless: 

(1) either 

(A) the Company shall be the surviving or continuing Person; or 

(B) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which
acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets (the “Surviving Entity”): 

(i) shall be an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District
of Columbia; and 
 (ii) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, the due
and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Notes and the performance of every covenant in the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;

 (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and, if applicable, the assumption contemplated by
Section 5.01(a)(1)(B)(ii) above (including giving pro forma effect to any Indebtedness incurred or assumed and any repayment, repurchase, defeasance, redemption or other discharge of Indebtedness by the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the
case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with such transaction), the Company or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be: (a) shall be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Ratio
Basket or (b) would have a Total Debt to Total Assets Ratio immediately following such transaction that is no less than its Total Debt to Total Assets Ratio immediately prior to such transaction (the computations required by clauses
(a) and (b) above shall be computed on a pro forma basis giving effect to such transaction as if it had occurred on the last day of the most recent Test Period ended on or prior to the date of such transaction for which financial
statements of the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, are available and the other pro forma adjustments set forth in the definition of pro forma basis) (provided that if the transaction involves a Surviving Entity and the Company
and the Surviving Entity have different fiscal quarters, then the relevant Test Period and, for purposes of clauses (a) and (b) of this paragraph (2), the relevant fiscal quarter, may, at the election of the Company, be based on either the
Company’s or the Surviving Entity’s fiscal quarters); 

  
 -53- 












 (3) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction (and
treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case
may be, or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, and any Indebtedness to be repaid, repurchased, defeased, redeemed or otherwise discharged by the Company or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with
such transaction as having been repaid, repurchased, defeased, redeemed or otherwise discharged at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(4) if the Surviving Entity is not the Company, each Guarantor (unless it is the Surviving Entity, in which case
Section 5.01(a)(1)(B) above shall apply) shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee of the Notes shall apply to such Surviving Entity’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; and 

(5) the Company or the Surviving Entity shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions), each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture
is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with the applicable provisions of this Indenture. 

(6) to the extent such merger, consolidation or amalgamation occurs prior to the occurrence of a Collateral Fall-Away Event and
any assets of the Person which is merged, consolidated or amalgamated with or into the Surviving Entity are assets of the type which would constitute Collateral under the Security Documents, the Surviving Entity will take such action as may be
reasonably necessary to cause such property and assets to be made subject to the Lien of the Security Documents in the manner and to the extent required in this Indenture or any of the Security Documents and shall take all reasonably necessary
action so that such Lien is perfected to the extent required by the Security Documents; and 
 (7) to the extent such merger,
consolidation or amalgamation occurs prior to the occurrence of a Collateral Fall-Away Event, the Collateral owned by or transferred to the Surviving Entity shall: (a) continue to constitute Collateral under this Indenture and the Security
Documents and (b) be subject to the Lien in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. 

(b) [Reserved] 
 (c) For
purposes of the foregoing, the sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the
Company (other than sales, assignments, transfers, leases, conveyances or other dispositions of Securitization Assets, investments or other securities or assets, in each case in the ordinary course of business), the Capital Stock of which
constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.

 (d) For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed that references in this
Section 5.01 to sales, assignments, transfers, leases, conveyances or other dispositions of Securitization Assets, investments or other securities or assets in the ordinary course of business shall include, without limitation, any sales,
assignments, transfers, leases, conveyances or other dispositions of Securitization Assets, investments or other securities or assets (1) that are made (x) to any Securitization Subsidiary for the purpose of enabling such Securitization
Subsidiary to securitize the assets so sold, assigned, transferred, leased, conveyed or disposed of or enabling such Securitization Subsidiary to issue Non-Recourse Indebtedness secured by such assets or to
enter into any Repurchase Facility with respect to such assets or (y) to any Person pursuant to an Asset Financing Facility or a Repurchase Facility that is otherwise permitted (or not prohibited) by this Indenture, under which such Person is a
buyer of investments, and (2) that the Company in good faith determines to be consistent with past practice of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to reflect customary or accepted practice in the businesses, industries or markets in which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries operates or reasonably expects to operate or that reflect reasonable extensions, evolutions or developments of any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, by way of new transactions or structures), and
as a result, none of the foregoing shall constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, on a consolidated basis or otherwise, for purposes of
the other paragraphs of this Section 5.01. 
 (e) Upon any consolidation or merger or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company in accordance with the foregoing in which the Company is not the surviving or continuing entity, as the case may be, the Surviving Entity shall succeed to,
and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as the “Company” herein and therein, and the Company shall be
released from all of its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; provided that, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, the Company will not be released from its obligation to
pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes. 
 ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

SECTION 6.01 Events of Default. 

Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default”: 

(1) the failure to pay interest on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30
days; 
 (2) the failure to pay the principal of and premium, if any, on any Notes when such principal becomes due and
payable, at maturity or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to a Change of Control Offer); 

(3) failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with any of its other covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture
(other than covenants or agreements a default in whose performance would constitute an Event of Default under clause (1) or (2) above) and such default continues for a period of 60 days after the Company receives written notice (with a copy to
the Trustee if given by Holders) specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes; provided that in the case of a failure to
comply with the provisions described under Section 4.10, such period of continuance of such default or breach shall be 90 days after written notice described in this clause (3) has been given; 

  
 -55- 












 (4) the failure to pay the principal amount of any Indebtedness for borrowed
money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company at its final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) and such
payment shall not have been made, waived or extended within 30 days after such final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) (a “Payment Default”), or the acceleration of the final
stated maturity of any Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded, annulled,
waived or otherwise cured within 30 days after receipt by the Company or such Subsidiary of the Company of written notice of any such acceleration (an “Acceleration”), if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together
with the aggregate principal amount of any other Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company as to which a Payment Default or an
Acceleration shall have occurred and shall be continuing, aggregates the greater of (x) $55,000,000 and (y) 0.36% of Consolidated Total Assets as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period or more, in each case, at any time;

 (5) (a) the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences a voluntary case or proceeding; 

(ii) consents to the entry of judgment, decree or order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding; 

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

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

(v) consents to or acquiesces in the institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it; or 

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

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

(i) is for relief in an involuntary case against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of
any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (ii) appoints a Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or a Significant

 and in the case of each of (i), (ii) and
(iii) of this paragraph (b), such order, decree or relief remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; 

  
 -56- 












 (6) any Guarantee of the Notes by a Guarantor that is a Significant
Subsidiary of the Company ceases (or the Guarantees of the Notes by a group of Guarantors that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company cease) to be in full force and effect for a period of 30 days, or a Guarantor of the
Notes that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (or a group of Guarantors of the Notes that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee (or their obligations under
their Guarantees, as the case may be) of the Notes unless such denial or disaffirmation, as applicable, is rescinded, canceled or terminated within 30 days, in each case other than by reason of the release, termination or discharge of any such
Guarantees or Guarantors in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or as a result of the discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.01 or as a result of Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Section 8.02; or 

(7) unless such Liens have been released (a) in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture or Security Documents,
(b) due to the satisfaction in full of all Obligations under the Indenture and the Notes, or (c) as a result of the failure of the Term Loan Collateral Agent to maintain possession or control of any Collateral under the Security Documents,
Liens securing the Notes Obligations with respect to a material portion of the Collateral cease to be valid, perfected or enforceable, or the Company shall assert or any Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction,
that any such Lien is invalid, unperfected or unenforceable; provided that no Event of Default shall occur under this clause (7) if the Company and the Guarantors replace or perfect any Lien that may require it, such Lien is promptly
replaced or perfected (as needed) and the rights, powers and privileges of the Holders are not materially adversely affected by such replacement or perfection. 

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

SECTION 6.02 Acceleration. 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) of the first paragraph of
Section 6.01 with respect to the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the
principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and (if the notice is given by Holders) to the Trustee specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice
of acceleration,” and, upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable, subject, in the case of clauses (1), (3) and (4) above, for the avoidance of doubt, to the additional
time or grace periods set forth in such clause. If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all principal of, 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 the Trustee or any Holder. 

A notice of Default may not be given by the Trustee with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders more than two years
prior to such notice of Default. Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any
one or more Holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a separate written representation from each such Holder delivered to the Company and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is DTC or
its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners of the Notes that are 

  
 -57- 












 
not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of a notice of Default shall be deemed a
continuing representation until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide
the Company with such other information as the Company may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Directing Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a
“Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its
nominee and DTC shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no duty whatsoever to provide this information to the Company or to
obtain this information for the Company. 
 If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes,
the Company determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the
Company has initiated litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from
the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company provides to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate stating that a court determination has been made that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with
respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation (as
confirmed by a court determination) shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that
provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred,
acceleration voided and the Trustee shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default; provided, however, this shall not invalidate any indemnity or security provided by the Directing
Holders to the Trustee which obligations shall continue to survive. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two paragraphs to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default described in
clause (5) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 shall not require compliance with the preceding two paragraphs. 
 For the
avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction, Position Representation, Verification Covenant, Officers’ Certificate or other document delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture and
pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs, and shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officers’ Certificate
delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise and shall have no liability for ceasing to
take any action or staying any remedy. The Trustee shall have no liability to the Company, any holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction that is accompanied by the required Position Representations to determine
whether any holder has delivered a Position Representation. With their acquisition of the Notes, each Holder and subsequent purchaser of the Notes consents to the delivery of its Position Representation by the Trustee to the Company in accordance
with 

  
 -58- 












 
the terms of this Section. Each Holder and subsequent purchaser of the Notes waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee and agrees not to commence any legal
proceeding against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee will not be liable for any action that the Trustee takes in accordance with this Section, or arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in
accordance with a Noteholder Direction. 
 At any time after any such acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee and the Company may rescind and cancel any such acceleration and its consequences if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction,
(ii) all existing Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Notes that have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived, (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is
lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, in each case which have become due otherwise than by such acceleration, at the per annum rate specified in the last paragraph of Section 4.01, has been paid; and
(iv) the Company has paid each of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances in connection with such acceleration and rescission.

 In the event of an Event of Default described in clause (4) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01, 

such Event of Default and any declaration of acceleration of the Notes occurring on account thereof (and any related default occurring under
clause (1) or (2) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 as a result of the acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if (A) (I) the event
of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (4) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 shall be remedied or cured, (II) the holders of the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of Default
pursuant to clause (4) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 have either waived the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (4) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01or rescinded
or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (4) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01, (III) the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of Default pursuant to
clause (4) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 shall have been discharged in full or (IV) the aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of Default pursuant to clause (4) of the first paragraph
of Section 6.01 shall be less than the great of (x) $55,000,000 and (y) 0.36% of Consolidated Total Assets as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period, in each case under this clause (A), not later than 60 days after the
declaration of acceleration (if any) of the Notes with respect thereto, (B) so long as the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (C) so long as
all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal of, and premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. 

No rescission of acceleration of the Notes pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right
consequent thereto. 
 SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the
payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture and, subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent may pursue any
available remedy under the Security Documents. 

  
 -59- 












 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. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a delay or omission by the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not
impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default, no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy and all available remedies are cumulative. 

SECTION 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive, by their consent (including, without limitation, consents
obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), any Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a continuing default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes
held by any non-consenting Holder (excluding a default in payment resulting from an acceleration that has been or is being waived or rescinded or that has been cured). Upon any such waiver, such Default or
Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 6.05 Control by Majority. 

Subject to Section 7.02(g), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under this Indenture. Subject to Section 7.01, however,
the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided,
however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. 

SECTION 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to Section 6.07, a Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or any Guarantees, unless: 

(1) such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made a written request,
and such Holder or Holders shall have offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to pursue a remedy; and 

(3) the Trustee has failed to comply with such request and has not received from the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request within 60 days after such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity. 

SECTION 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on, the Notes held by such Holder on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder. 

  
 -60- 












 SECTION 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid (together with interest on any overdue interest (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) at the rate per annum specified in the last paragraph of Section 4.01) and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee. 
 SECTION 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company, its creditors or its property and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders (it being understood it shall be under no obligation to do so), to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 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.

 SECTION 6.10 Priorities. 

Subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out
the money or property in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent for amounts due under
this Indenture; 
 SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal. premium, if any, and interest,
ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest; and 

THIRD: to the Company. 

The Trustee, upon prior notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.10. Promptly after any record date or payment date is set pursuant to this Section 6.10, the Trustee shall cause notice of such record date or payment date or both, as the case may be, to be given to the Company and each Holder
in the manner set forth in Section 11.02. 
 SECTION 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 

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

 ARTICLE 7 

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

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

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; 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 or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture. However, in the case of certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof to be furnished to it, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations stated therein). 
 (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 paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01. 

(2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved
that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 
 (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) Every
provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01. 

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. 

(f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 -62- 












 (g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur any 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. 
 (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or an Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee has received written notice thereof from the Company or any Holder and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 

SECTION 7.02 Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to Section 7.01: 

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or
refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

 (c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent
appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that
it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that, subject to paragraph (b) of Section 7.01, the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters
relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such
counsel. 
 (f) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a
duty unless so specified herein. 
 (g) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of the Notes, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security and/or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (h) The Trustee shall not be bound
to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate (including any Officers’ 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 to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such
inquiry or investigation. 

  
 -63- 












 (i) 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 (including, without limitation, in its capacity as Collateral Agent), and each
agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
 (j) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable
for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of

 (k) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of
individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 
 SECTION 7.03
Individual Rights of Trustee. 
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may
otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee
must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
 SECTION 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity, priority or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes,
it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or any
statement in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 
 SECTION 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such Default or
Event of Default, the Trustee shall mail or otherwise transmit to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of an Event of Default in payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. 

SECTION 7.06 [Reserved]. 

SECTION 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the
Trustee shall from time to time mutually agree in writing for the Trustee’s services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company and the Guarantors,
jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in
addition to the compensation for its services, except any such expenses as shall have been caused by the Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall 

  
 -64- 












 
include the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s agents, counsel and accountants. The
Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) incurred by it in connection with
the acceptance or administration of this trust, the enforcement of this Indenture (including this Section 7.07) and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim of which a Responsible
Officer has received written notice or of which a Responsible Officer has otherwise become aware for which the Trustee or any Trustee Party (as defined below) may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate and
shall cause all Trustee Parties to cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and all Trustee Parties may have one firm of separate counsel selected by the Trustee in connection with the defense of such claim and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees
and out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Company 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 Company, on the one hand, and the Trustee and any Trustee Parties subject to the
claim, on the other hand, in connection with such defense as reasonably determined by the Trustee. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, damage, claim, liability or expense caused by or resulting from the willful
misconduct or negligence of the Trustee or a Trustee Party as determined in a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company need not pay for any settlement made by the Trustee or any Trustee Party without the
Company’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees, agents and successors (collectively,
“Trustee Parties”). 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, or other amounts payable to Holders
under, the Notes or the Guarantees. 
 The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge or termination of this Indenture. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default
specified in clause (5) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under applicable Insolvency Law. 

SECTION 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 

The Trustee may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior written notice of such resignation to the Company. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, upon 30 days prior written notice to the Company and the Trustee, remove the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee; provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right to consent to the successor Trustee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 

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

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

  
 -65- 












 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Company 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 Notes may appoint a successor
Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the retiring Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all money and property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07, whereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall cause to be delivered a notice of its succession to all Holders. 
 Anything in
this Section 7.08 to the contrary notwithstanding but subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, no resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08 shall become effective
until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take
office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the expense of the Company), the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee fails to
comply with Section 7.10, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger. 

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business to, another
corporation or bank, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or bank, without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation or bank shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7.

 In case at the time such successor or successors (by merger, conversion, transfer of all or substantially all of its corporate trust
business or consolidation) to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any such successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder
or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the same full force and effect as if they had been authenticated by the predecessor Trustee. 

  
 -66- 












 SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee
hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, shall be subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authority and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

SECTION 7.11 Security Documents; Intercreditor Agreements. 

By its acceptance of the Notes, each Holder is deemed to have consented to the terms of the Security Documents and to have authorized and
directed the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute, deliver and perform each of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement, and any other Security Documents to which the Trustee
or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, is a party, including any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any other Security Documents executed after the Issue Date, binding the Holders to the terms thereof.
It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent are (a) expressly authorized to make the representations attributed to Holders in any such agreements and (b) not responsible for
the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under, any
First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any other Security Documents, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it
under this Indenture and the Security Documents(in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements). 

ARTICLE 8

INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

Security Documents) as to all outstanding Notes, and all of the Guarantees, if any, of the Notes shall be discharged, terminated and released, when:

(b) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by giving of a notice of
redemption, upon stated maturity or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year (upon stated maturity or otherwise), or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee cash in such amount as will be sufficient, U.S.


  
 -67- 












 
Government Obligations the scheduled payments of principal of and interest on which will be sufficient (without any reinvestment of such interest), or a combination thereof in such amounts as

case may be, together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption;

 Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the provisions of Sections 8.04, 8.05, 8.06, 8.07 and 11.08 and, if the outstanding Notes

After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the discharge of this
Indenture and the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture and, if applicable, the obligations of all Guarantors under the Guarantees and this Indenture, except for those surviving obligations specified above. 

SECTION 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

amounts due in connection with a Change of Control Offer), clause (3) (solely insofar as it relates to the covenants and agreements as to which Covenant Defeasance has occurred), clause (4), clause (5) (except with respect to Company) and clause
(6) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 will no longer constitute Events of Default or otherwise apply and (y) the Guarantors, if any, of the Notes shall be automatically released from all of their obligations under their

 SECTION 8.03 Conditions to Legal Defeasance and Covenant
Defeasance. 
 The following shall be the conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 

(1) the Company shall have irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes cash

Redemption Date; 

  
 -69- 












 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions, exceptions and limitations) confirming that: 

(a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 

(b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law; 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize
income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal
Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel in the United States (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions, exceptions and limitations) confirming that the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit pursuant to clause
(1) of this Section 8.03 (other than a Default and Event of Default resulting from borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar or substantially contemporaneous transactions and, in each case, the granting of any
Liens in connection therewith); 
 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument that, in the judgment of the Company, is material with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (excluding this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (6) the Company shall have delivered
to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions, exceptions and limitations), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Section 8.03

 (7) the Company shall

the Officers’ Certificate referred to in clause (6) of this Section 8.03). 

  
 -70- 












 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (2) of this
Section 8.03 with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable on their maturity date or
any earlier Redemption Date within one year and, in the case of any such redemption, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company. 

SECTION 8.04 Application of Trust Money. 

The Trustee shall hold in trust the U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8 and any

 Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the Company’s request any U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations or proceeds therefrom held by it as provided in Section 8.01 or 8.03 which are in excess of the amount
thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.01 or an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Section 8.02, as evidenced by a written
confirmation, certification or attestation by an Independent Financial Advisor delivered to the Trustee. 
 SECTION 8.05 Repayment to the
Company. 
 The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to the Company upon request any excess U.S. Legal Tender and U.S.

Government Obligations or proceeds therefrom deposited with or received by the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note,
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) shall be discharged from such
trust and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company as a general creditor for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money, U.S. Government Obligations and proceeds, and
all liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
 SECTION 8.06 Reinstatement.

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations (or proceeds therefrom) deposited
pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.03 in accordance with Section 8.04 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.03, as applicable, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.04; provided that if the Company or any Guarantor has made any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any
Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations
held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

  
 -71- 












 SECTION 8.07 Indemnity for Government Obligations. 

The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed

refinancing, restructuring, replacement, supplementing or other modification from time to time of the Term Loan Credit Facility or any other agreement that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 

In addition, the Company, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may amend (or enter into, as applicable) the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, any Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents to provide for the addition of any creditors to such agreements to the extent a pari passu or junior lien for the benefit of such creditor is permitted by the

 SECTION 9.02 With Consent of Holders. 

(a) Without limitation to the provisions of Section 9.01, modifications, amendments and supplements of the Notes, the Security Documents,
any Guarantees or other guarantees thereof or this Indenture may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a
tender offer or 

  
 -73- 












 
exchange offer for, the Notes), and compliance with any provision of the Notes, the Security Documents, any Guarantees or other guarantees thereof or this Indenture may be waived with the consent
of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), except that, without the consent of each
Holder of Notes, no amendment, supplement or waiver may: 
 (1) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (2) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of
interest, including defaulted interest, on any Notes, except pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(6); 
 (3) reduce the principal

(4) make any Notes payable in currency other than that stated in the Notes; 

(5) make any change in provisions of this Indenture providing that the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on or after the due dates thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes to waive
Defaults or Events of Default; or 
 (6) amend, supplement, waive or modify the Company’s obligation to make an offer to
repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 4.06, or reduce the premium payable upon any such repurchase or change the time at which any Notes may be repurchased pursuant to Section 4.06, whether through an amendment, supplement, waiver or
modification of provisions in such covenant or any definitions or other provisions in this Indenture or otherwise, unless such amendment, supplement waiver or modification shall be in effect prior to the occurrence of the applicable Change of
Control Triggering Event. 
 In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without the consent of Holders of at least 66-2/3% 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), no amendment, supplement
or waiver may modify any Security Documents or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with Collateral or the Security Documents to the extent that such amendment, supplement or waiver would have the effect of releasing Liens on all or
substantially all of the Collateral securing the Notes (except as permitted by the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents) including amendments, supplements or waivers of the Section 4.14 or change or alter the priority of the
security interests in the Collateral. 
 A consent to any modification, amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder
of Notes given in connection with a tender or exchange of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, any Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee to which it is a party) and the Trustee and the Notes
Collateral Agent may, without the consent of any Holder, (a) enter into any additional Security Document (or joinder or supplement documents with respect thereto) to add additional assets as Collateral or perfect any liens with respect thereto
the perfection as to which is required or permitted under this Indenture and (b) enter into any Intercreditor Agreement (or amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, modification, joinder, replacement or supplement)


  
 -74- 












 
(and, upon request by the Company in writing to the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent, shall enter into any such applicable Intercreditor Agreement (or amendment, restatement, amendment and
restatement, modification, joinder, replacement or supplement)) that either (x) has substantially similar terms (or other terms not materially less favorable to the Holders) with respect to the Holders as the applicable terms set forth in the
applicable Intercreditor Agreements in effect on the Issue Date (or, with respect to any Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement, any “form” of junior priority intercreditor agreement attached as an exhibit to the Credit Agreement on the
Issue Date), taken as a whole (as determined by the Company, as certified by the Company to the Notes Collateral Agent in an Officers’ Certificate), (y) is a Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement or (z) otherwise reflects customary terms
and conditions (taken as a whole) for intercreditor agreements of such type at the time of initially entering into such Intercreditor Agreement (as determined by the Company in good faith is reasonably customary at such time of determination, as
certified by the Company to the Notes Collateral Agent in an Officers’ Certificate). In addition, it is hereby agreed that the Term Loan Collateral Agent may act as the designated Applicable Collateral Agent for the Notes Collateral Agent, the
Notes, the Guarantees and the Holders thereunder to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreements. 
 (b) It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed modification, amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed modification,
amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 (c) After a modification, amendment, supplement, or waiver under Section 9.02(a) becomes effective,
the Company shall mail (or otherwise transmit) to the Holders affected thereby at their registered addresses a notice briefly describing the modification, amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail (or transmit) such notice,
or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such modification, amendment, supplement or waiver. 

SECTION 9.03 [Reserved]. 

SECTION 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. 

Until an amendment, waiver, modification 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 amendment, waiver, modification or supplement is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or
subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or any portion of its Note by notice to the Trustee and the Company received before the date on which such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver becomes effective. An amendment,
supplement, modification or waiver becomes effective in accordance with the terms thereof. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated
to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described in this Article 9 or required or otherwise permitted to be given or taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date
is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at the close of business on such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give any consent or to
revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent or action shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 

After an amendment, supplement, modification or waiver becomes effective, it shall be conclusive and binding on every Holder. 

  
 -75- 












 SECTION 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

If an amendment, supplement, modification or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Company may require each Holder of a Note to deliver it
to the Trustee. The Company shall provide the Trustee with an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and cause the Trustee to return it to the Holder at the Company’s expense. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the
Company 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 of such amendment, supplement,
modification or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.06 Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent To Sign Amendments. 

Each of the Trustee and, as applicable, the Notes Collateral Agent shall execute any modification, amendment, supplement or waiver authorized
pursuant to this Article 9; provided that each of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such modification, amendment, supplement or waiver which adversely affects the Trustee’s or the
Notes Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or any of the Security Documents. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized or permitted pursuant to this Article 9 and, if applicable, constitutes the valid and binding obligation
of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions). Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

applicable to any Guarantor or Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee and this

contribution from, or payments made by or on behalf of, any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article 10

Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments made to Holders of Notes under this Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with the Trustee’s obligations under Applicable Tax Law. Each Holder of Notes by

 ARTICLE 12 

COLLATERAL 
 SECTION 12.01
Security Documents  
 (a) The performance and full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, of the Notes Obligations, whether for payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents, which define the terms of the Liens that secure the
Notes Obligations, subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The Trustee and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the Notes Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties
and pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions
providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture and the First
Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and authorizes and directs the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. Subject to the Applicable Collateral
Limitations, the Company shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be filed pursuant to the Security Documents to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and
things as may be reasonably required to provide to the Notes Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby and/or by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time constituted, so far as to render the same
available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. Subject to the Applicable Collateral Limitations, the Company shall, and shall cause the Subsidiaries of
the Company to, take any and all actions and make all filings (including, without limitation, the filing of UCC financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto (or analogous procedures under the applicable laws in the relevant
jurisdiction)) required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Notes Obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to the Notes Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien and security interest in and
on all of the Collateral (subject to the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents), in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens). Nothing hereunder
shall require the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent to file any financing or continuation statements or record any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any lien or security
interest in the Collateral. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the provisions of this Article 12 are qualified in
their entirety by the Applicable Collateral Limitations and neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document to take any action limited by the Applicable Collateral Limitations. 

SECTION 12.02 Release of Collateral. The Liens securing the Notes will be automatically released, all without delivery of any
instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time and from time to time as provided by this Section 12.02. Upon such release, all rights in the released Collateral securing Notes Obligations shall revert to the Company and the
Guarantors, as applicable. The Collateral shall be automatically released from 

  
 -86- 












 
the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents and the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent (subject to its receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as
provided below) shall execute documents evidencing such release, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, under one or more of the following circumstances: 

(i) with respect to Liens granted by any Guarantor, in whole upon (x) a Collateral Fall-Away Event and (y) the
release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (ii) in whole upon: 

(A) payment in full of principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, on, the Notes issued under this
Indenture and all other Notes Obligations payable at such time, 
 (B) satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to the Notes as set forth under Section 8.01; or 
 (C) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of this
Indenture with respect to the Notes as set forth under Section 8.02; 
 (iii) in whole or in part, with the consent of
the requisite Holders in accordance with Article 9 of this Indenture, including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, Notes; 

(iv) in whole or in part, as applicable, as to any asset: 

(A) constituting Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Company or any Guarantors to any Person
that is not the Company or a Guarantor in a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture (to the extent of the interest sold, transferred or disposed of), 

(B) constituting Shared Collateral, in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, 

(C) that is or becomes an Excluded Asset; 

(D) as expressly provided for by the terms of, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Security
Document; 
 (E) with respect to any asset, at the time such asset does not and is not required to secure any First Lien
Obligations; or 
 (F) upon a Collateral Fall-Away Event, 

provided that, in the case of clause (iv)(B), the proceeds of such Shared Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the First Lien
Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (b) With respect to any release of Collateral, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture and the Security Documents, as applicable, to such release have been met and that it is permitted for the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the
documents requested by the Company in connection with such release, and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction, discharge or release prepared by the Company, the Trustee and/or Notes Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver
or 

  
 -87- 












 
acknowledge (at the Company’s expense) such instruments or releases (whether electronically or in writing) to evidence, and shall do or cause to be done all other acts reasonably necessary
to effect or evidence, as applicable, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable, the release and discharge of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes
Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Security Document to the contrary, but without limiting any
automatic release provided hereunder or under any Security Document, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release,
satisfaction, discharge or termination, unless and until it receives such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel. 
 SECTION
12.03 Suits to Protect the Collateral. Subject to the provisions of Article 7 hereof and the Security Documents, the Trustee, at the direction of a majority of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, following the occurrence of an Event of
Default that is continuing, may or may instruct the Notes Collateral Agent in writing to take all actions it reasonably determines are necessary in order to: 

(i) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and 

(ii) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder. 

Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain
such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings to preserve
or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent. 

SECTION 12.04 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Security Documents. Subject to the provisions of the First
Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this
Indenture. 
 SECTION 12.05 Purchaser Protected. In no event shall any purchaser or other transferee in good faith of any property or
asset purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the
exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property, asset or rights permitted by this Article 12 to be sold be under
any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Company or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer. 

SECTION 12.06 Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee,
lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 12 upon the Company or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property or asset may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by
such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Company or a Guarantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 12; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession of the
Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee. 

  
 -88- 












 SECTION 12.07 Notes Collateral Agent. 

(a) The Company and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note, hereby designate and
appoint the Notes Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Security Documents and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Notes Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Notes Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and consents and agrees to
the terms of each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms or the terms of this Indenture. The Notes Collateral Agent
agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.07. The provisions of this Section 12.07 are solely for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and none of the Holders nor any of the Obligors shall have any
rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture and/or the applicable Security Documents, and
the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Security
Documents, the duties of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Notes, Guarantees
or Security Documents to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Obligor, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of
the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is
used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

(b) The Notes Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture or the Security Documents by or through receivers, agents,
employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors
and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates (a “Related Person”) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
willful misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith. 

(c) Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the transactions contemplated thereby
(except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any other
Obligor or Affiliate of any Obligor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for
in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture or the Security Documents, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture or the Security Documents, or for any
failure of any Obligor or any other party to this Indenture or the Security Documents to perform its obligations 

  
 -89- 












 
hereunder or thereunder. Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture or the Security Documents or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Obligor or any Obligor’s Affiliates. 

(d) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, (in each case in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct) upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by
telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to the Company or any other Obligor), independent accountants and/or other experts and advisors selected by the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. Unless otherwise expressly required hereunder or pursuant to any Security
Document, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture or the Security Documents, and shall incur no liability by reason of such failure or refusal to take action, unless it shall
first receive such written advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against
any and all liability, fees and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected from claims by any Holders in acting, or in refraining
from acting, under this Indenture or the Security Documents in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders. 
 (e) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company referring to this Indenture,
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Notes Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in
accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.07). 

(f) The Notes Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and the Company, such resignation to be effective upon the
acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Notes Collateral Agent. If the Notes Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Company shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to
the intended effective date of the resignation of the Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Notes Collateral Agent or 25% of Holders in aggregate principal amount of Notes may appoint, after consulting with the
Trustee, subject to the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented
to by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent
jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, to appoint a successor at the sole expense of the Company. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights,
powers and duties of the retiring Notes Collateral Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Notes
Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, such Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully and 

  
 -90- 












 
immediately discharged of all responsibilities under this Indenture and the Security Documents to which it is party, provided that the provisions of this Section 12.07 (and
Section 7.07) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the
Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture. 
 (g) [Reserved]. 

(h) The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Security Documents to which it is party, whether executed
on or after the Issue Date, (ii) enter into the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security
Documents and (v) perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents. Any execution of a Security Document by the Notes Collateral Agent shall be at the direction and expense of the Company, upon delivery to the Notes Collateral
Agent of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution is authorized or permitted pursuant to this Indenture and applicable Security Documents. 

(i) If applicable, the Notes Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in
assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Company, the Trustee shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and
promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent. 
 (j) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation
whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company or any Obligor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens have been
properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or such Obligor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the
Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any
particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document other
than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Notes
Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as to any of the foregoing. 
 (k) If
the Company or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Lien Obligations at any time when no First Lien Intercreditor Agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations entitled to
the benefit of an existing First Priority Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, or incurs any other obligations permitted hereunder and required to be subject to an intercreditor agreement, and (ii) delivers to the Notes Collateral
Agent an Officers’ Certificate so stating and requesting the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or
representative for the holders of the First Lien Obligations so incurred, or on reasonable and customary terms with respect to any other such intercreditor agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee (as applicable) shall (and are hereby
authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Company, including fees (including legal fees) and expenses of the Notes Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and
perform and observe its obligations thereunder. 

  
 -91- 












 (l) No provision of this Indenture or any Security Document shall require the Notes
Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless it shall have first received
reasonable indemnity against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent relating thereto, or if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or reasonable indemnity against such risk of
liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Notes Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents
or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its gross
negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Notes Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Company (and money held in trust by the Notes Collateral Agent shall
(a) be held uninvested without liability for interest, unless otherwise agreed in writing, (b) be held in a non-interest bearing trust account and (c) not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action
taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act. 

(m) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this
Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including, without limitation, (i) any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, (ii) any act of
God, (iii) natural disaster, (iv) war, (v) terrorism, (vi) civil unrest, (vii) accidents, (viii) labor dispute, (ix) disease, (x) epidemic or pandemic, (xi) quarantine, (xii) national emergency, (xiii) loss or
malfunction of utility or computer software or hardware, (xiv) communications system failure, (xv) malware or ransomware or (xvi) unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex system or other wire or other funds transfer
systems, or (xvii) unavailability of any securities clearing system.; 
 (n) The Notes Collateral Agent does not assume any
responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Company or any other Obligor under this Indenture and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any
recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received
by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Security Documents of any
other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the
validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its
Obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or
performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Term Loan Credit Facility or the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture or any Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent
shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. Without limiting its obligations as expressly set forth
herein, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents. 

  
 -92- 












 (o) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Notes
Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and
unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property
damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and
acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture and the Security Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent may, but shall in no event be required to, hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of
the Notes Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. However, if the Notes Collateral
Agent is required to acquire title to an asset pursuant to this Indenture which in the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable discretion may cause the Notes Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et. seq., or otherwise cause the Notes Collateral Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any equivalent federal, state or
local law, the Notes Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Notes Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. 

(p) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Notes Collateral
Agent shall execute and deliver the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto (including any releases permitted hereunder), and act in
accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise discretion under this Indenture or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination,
consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable, except as otherwise expressly provided for herein or in any
Security Document. For purposes of clarity, phrases such as “satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent”, “approved by the Notes Collateral Agent”, “acceptable to the Notes Collateral Agent”, “in the Notes
Collateral Agent’s discretion”, “selected by the Notes Collateral Agent”, “requested by the Notes Collateral Agent” and phrases of similar import authorize and permit the Notes Collateral Agent to approve, disapprove,
determine, act or decline to act in its discretion. 
 (q) After the occurrence of an Event of Default (at the direction of a majority of
Holders), the Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders) may direct the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Security Documents. 

(r) The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the
Security Documents and to the extent not prohibited under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.10 hereof and the other provisions of this Indenture. 

  
 -93- 












 (s) Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, in each case that the Notes Collateral
Agent may or is required hereunder or under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers
or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent may seek written direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes. Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, if the Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders) or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Trustee (acting at the written
direction of the Holders) or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. 

(t) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents, in no event shall the
Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the preparation, recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be
created by this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments (or analogous procedures
under the applicable laws in the relevant jurisdiction)), nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness
or priority of any of the Security Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby. 
 (u) The Company and the
Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay compensation to, reimburse expenses of and indemnify the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.07. Accordingly, the references to the “Trustee” in Section 7.07 shall be
deemed to include the reference to the Notes Collateral Agent. 
 (v) Anything in this Indenture or any Security Document notwithstanding,
in no event shall the Notes Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the
Notes Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

THE NOTES 
 Section 2.1
Forms of Notes 
 (a) Offering and Sale of Initial Notes and Additional Notes. The Initial Notes will be offered and sold by
the Company to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Company may offer and sell Additional Notes from time to time, including, without limitation, offers and sales pursuant to one or more purchase agreements or underwriting
agreements between the Company and one or more initial purchasers or underwriters. The Initial Notes will be resold, and Additional Notes (other than Registered Additional Notes) may be resold, initially only (i) to QIBs in reliance on Rule
144A (Notes so resold in reliance on Rule 144A, the “Rule 144A Notes”) and (ii) to Persons other than U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S (Notes so resold in reliance on Regulation S, the “Regulation S
Notes”). Initial Notes or any such Additional Notes (other than Registered Additional Notes) may thereafter be transferred only to, among others, QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A and non-U.S. persons in
reliance on Regulation S, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein and the other applicable requirements of the Indenture. 

(b) Global Notes. Unless otherwise provided in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Initial Notes and Additional
Notes that are initially resold pursuant to Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes (each a “Rule 144A Global Note”), and Initial Notes and Additional Notes that are initially resold pursuant to
Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes (each a “Regulation S Global Note”), in each case bearing the Global Notes Legend and the applicable Restricted Notes Legend. Each Global Note shall
represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified in the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Note” (or a 

  
 -2- 












 
similar schedule) attached thereto (the “Schedule”). The aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented by a Global Note may be increased or decreased, as
applicable, from time to time to reflect transfers, exchanges, redemptions, repurchases and cancellation of Notes represented thereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Registrar, in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Appendix A and any applicable provisions of the Indenture. 

(c) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(c) shall apply only to a Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

 Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to a Regulation S Global Note, beneficial interests in such
Regulation S Global Note may be held only through Clearstream and Euroclear, as Participants in the Depositary, provided, that if DTC is not the Depositary for such Regulation S Global Note during such Distribution Compliance Period,
beneficial interests in such Regulation S Global Note shall be held in accordance with the customary procedures of whomsoever shall be the Depositary. After the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to a Regulation S Global
Note, holders of beneficial interests in such Regulation S Global Note may also hold interests in such Regulation S Global Note through Participants in the Depositary other than Clearstream and Euroclear, provided, that if DTC is not the
Depositary for such Regulation S Global Note after such Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be held in accordance with the customary procedures of whomsoever shall be the Depositary. 

(d) Certificated Notes. Except as provided in Section 2.15 of the Indenture, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will
not be entitled to receive Certificated Notes in exchange for their interests in such Global Notes. 
 Section 2.2 Transfer and
Exchange. 
 (a) Transfer Restrictions. So long as they are Transfer Restricted Notes, the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes
(other than Registered Additional Notes) may not be offered, sold or disposed of except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the securities laws of any other
applicable jurisdiction. 
 Neither a Rule 144A Note nor any interest or participation therein may be offered, sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise disposed of at any time prior to (x) the date which is six months (assuming the Company satisfies the current public reporting requirements of Rule 144) or one year (if the Company does not) after the later of the date of
original issue of such Rule 144A Note (or any predecessor thereto) and the last date on which the Company or any “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company was the owner of such Rule 144A Note (or any predecessor thereto) or any
interest or participation in such Rule 144A Note or (y) such later date, if any, as may be required by any subsequent change in applicable law (the “U.S. Resale Restriction Termination Date”), except (a) to the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, (b) pursuant to a registration statement which is effective under the Securities Act, (c) for so long as such Rule 144A Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a Person the transferor reasonably
believes is a QIB acquiring such Rule 144A Note or such interest or participation for its own account or for the account of another QIB to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the
requirements of Rule 144A, (d) to a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction within the meaning of, and in compliance with, Regulation S or (e) pursuant to any other available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject to, in each of the foregoing cases, any requirement of law that the disposition of such Rule 144A Note or such interest or participation be at all times within the transferor’s control,
and to compliance with the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction and with the procedures specified in the Indenture (including this Appendix A). 

  
 -3- 












 Until the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to a Regulation S
Note, such Regulation S Note or any interest or participation therein (i) may not be offered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed within the United States (within the meaning of Regulation S) or to, or for the account or
benefit of, a U.S. person, except to a Person that the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB acquiring such Regulation S Note or such interest or participation for its own account or for the account of another QIB to whom notice is given that
the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and (ii) except as provided in clause (i) above, may not be offered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or disposed of except to a
non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction within the meaning of, and in compliance with, Regulation S, and in each case such offer, sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or disposition must comply with the
securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction and with the procedures specified in the Indenture (including this Appendix A). In addition, during such Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may only
be held through Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective direct or indirect participants. 
 The remaining provisions of this
Section 2.2 are intended to implement the forgoing restrictions. To the extent that any transfer or exchange of Transfer Restricted Notes (including, without limitation, beneficial interests in Restricted Global Notes) is not covered by a
specific procedure in the remaining provisions of this Section 2.2, the Company may implement such procedures and impose such conditions to such exchange or transfer (including, without limitation, the delivery of certificates, legal opinions
and other documents) as the Company in its sole discretion may deem necessary or appropriate to implement the foregoing restrictions. 
 (b)
Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes. If Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes pursuant to Section 2.15(b) of the Indenture, such Certificated Notes will be registered in the names, and
issued in any authorized denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and, if any such Global Notes are Transfer Restricted Notes, the Certificated Notes issued in exchange for interests
therein will bear the Certificated Note Restricted Legend and either the Rule 144A Legend or the Regulation S Legend, as applicable, unless otherwise determined by the Company. If Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in
Global Notes, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the applicable Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interests being exchanged for Certificated Notes and
the Registrar shall instruct the Note Custodian to decrease or reflect on its records a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note (and to record such decrease by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note) in a principal
amount equal to the principal amount of such interests being exchanged. If Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note, then, unless the Company shall otherwise advise the Trustee and the Registrar
in writing, such interests may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.2 (including the certification and other requirements set forth in this Section 2.2
intended to ensure that such exchanges comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or another applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

 When Certificated Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request: 

(x) to register the transfer of such Certificated Notes; or 

  
 -4- 












 (y) to exchange such Certificated Notes for an equal principal amount of
Certificated Notes of other authorized denominations, 
 the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer
or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met and if the requirements for such registration of transfer or exchange set forth in this Appendix A and Section 2.07 of the Indenture shall have been
satisfied; provided, however, that if a Certificated Note surrendered for transfer or exchange bears a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall not register the transfer or
exchange of such Certificated Note (including any such transfer or exchange to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) unless (A) such transferor shall have delivered to the Registrar or co-Registrar
a certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit F to the Indenture, appropriately completed and signed by such transferor, (B) in the case of any transfer or exchange pursuant to any transaction that is exempt from registration under
the Securities Act (other than a transfer to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S), such transferor shall have also delivered to the Registrar or
co-Registrar (i) if such transfer or exchange is being made pursuant to Rule 144, a legal opinion addressed to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer or exchange is being made in reliance on Rule 144, that the Holder may transfer such Certificated Note without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule
144 and that, accordingly, the Restricted Note Legend on such Certificated Note may be removed or (ii) if such transfer or exchange is not being made pursuant to Rule 144, a legal opinion addressed to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer or exchange may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and (C) such transferor shall have
also delivered to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, as the case may be, any additional certifications, legal opinions and other information as may be required by the Company to determine that the
proposed transfer or exchange is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state or other securities laws. In the case of any such proposed transfer or exchange that requires the delivery of a legal opinion as provided for
above, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall notify the Company of such proposed transfer or exchange in order to provide the Company with an opportunity to review such legal opinion and request such additional
certifications, legal opinions and other information the Company may require. The transferor shall also provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting
obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of
such information. 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. (i) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in Global
Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture (including this Appendix A) and the procedures of the Depositary and, if applicable, Clearstream and Euroclear. In the case of any exchange of a beneficial interest in
a Rule 144A Global Note for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, and any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a
Regulation S Global Note, in each case being made prior to expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to such Regulation S Global Note, the beneficial interests in such Regulation S Global Note must be held through an account with
a participant in either Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be. 
 (ii) Subject to compliance with the other applicable
requirements of this Section 2.2(c), if the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, (A) the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and
an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and


  
 -5- 












 
records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred; and (B) the Registrar shall instruct the Note
Custodian to increase or reflect on its records an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred (and to record such increase by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note) in an amount
equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall instruct the Note Custodian, concurrently with such increase, to decrease or reflect on its records a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note
from which such interest is being transferred by a corresponding amount (and to record such decrease by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note). 

(iii) If the proposed transfer is an exchange of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S
Global Note or the transfer of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, the transferor of such beneficial interest shall
deliver to the Registrar prior to any such exchange or transfer (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Indenture if such exchange or transfer is to occur prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period
with respect to such Regulation S Global Note or (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Indenture if such exchange or transfer is to occur after the expiration of such Distribution Compliance Period, in each case
appropriately completed and signed by the transferor. 
 (iv) If the proposed transfer is an exchange of a beneficial interest in a
Regulation S Global Note for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or the transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A
Global Note and such exchange or transfer is to occur prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to such Regulation S Global Note, the transferor of such beneficial interest shall deliver to the Registrar prior to any
such exchange or transfer a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Indenture, appropriately completed and signed by such transferor. 

(v) 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 will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such original Global Note and will become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures
applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for so long as it remains such an interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Appendix A, a Global Note may not be transferred except as provided in the first sentence of Section 2.15(b) of the Indenture. 

(d) Legend. 
 (i) Each
Global Note shall bear the following or a similar legend (or, if DTC is not the Depositary for such Global Note, any other legend that may be required by whosoever shall be the Depositary) (the “Global Notes Legend”) on the face
thereof: 
 “UNLESS THIS NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION
(“DTC”), TO THE COMPANY (AS DEFINED BELOW) OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT AND ANY NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY

 (REVERSE OF NOTE) 

3.750% Senior Secured Note due 2027 

Section 1. Interest 
 Blackstone
Mortgage Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company,” which term includes its successors under the Indenture referred to below), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate of 3.750% per annum
until January 15, 2027 or such earlier date on which the principal of this Note shall have been paid or duly provided for. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year (each an
“Interest Payment Date”) or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, commencing July 15, 2022. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including October 5, 2021; provided that if this Note is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, interest on this Note shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 Section 2. Method of Payment 

Interest on the Notes payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Persons who are the Holders of record of the Notes at the close
of business on the Record Date (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying
Agent to receive payments of principal and premium, if any. The Company will pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in U.S. Legal Tender. The Company will pay the principal and premium, if any, on, and may pay interest
on, any Certificated Notes at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose in the United States of America, upon surrender of such Certificated Notes by the Holders thereof at such office or agency. Interest on any Certificated
Notes may also be paid, at the Company’s option, by check mailed to the registered addresses of the Holders entitled thereto or by wire transfer to accounts in the United States of America specified by such Holders. The Company will pay the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on Global Notes registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as Holder of such Global Notes. 

Section 3. Paying Agent and Registrar 

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The
Company may replace or change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co Registrar so long as there is a Paying Agent and Registrar in the United States of America, and may appoint additional Paying Agents and
co-Registrars, in each case without notice to Holders. The Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, co Registrar or Paying Agent. 

Section 4. Indenture 
 The Company
issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of October 5, 2021 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”) between the Company, the guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., as trustee (together with its successors in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and notes collateral agent (together with its successors in such capacity, the “Notes Collateral Agent”). The terms of the Notes
include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined in this Note have the meanings ascribed thereto
in the Indenture. 

  
 A-5 












 Section 5. Optional Redemption 

(a) At any time and from time to time prior to October 15, 2026, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus the relevant Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record
on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date). 

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any Note on any Redemption Date for such Note, the greater of (A) 1.0% of the
principal amount of such Note and (B) on any Redemption Date, the excess (to the extent positive) of: 
 (a) the present value at such
Redemption Date of (i) the redemption price of such Note at October 15, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes) (such redemption price (expressed in percentage of principal amount) being set forth under
Section 5(b) below (excluding accrued but unpaid interest)), plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such Note to and including such date set forth in clause (i) (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the
redemption date), computed upon the Redemption Date using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate at such Redemption Date plus 50 basis points; over 

(b) the outstanding principal amount of such Note; 

in each case, as calculated by the Company. The Trustee shall have no duty to calculate or verify the Company’s calculation of the Applicable Premium.

 “Treasury Rate” means, as obtained by the Company, as of any Redemption Date, the weekly average rounded to the nearest
1/100th of a percentage point (for the most recently completed week for which such information is available as of the date that is two business days prior to the Redemption Date) of the yield to maturity as of such Redemption Date of United States
Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 with respect to each applicable day during such week (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 15, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes); provided, however, that if the period
from such Redemption Date to October 15, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes) is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury Security for which such yield is given, the Treasury Rate
shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury Securities for which such yields are given, except that if
the period from the Redemption Date to such date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used. 

(b) At any time and from time to time on or after October 15, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the
Notes), the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the Notes redeemed, if any, to but not including the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such
Redemption Date). 

  
 A-6 












 (c) Prior to October 15, 2023, the Company will be entitled at its option on one or
more occasions to redeem the Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 40 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including any Additional Notes) originally issued prior to the applicable Redemption Date at a
redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) of 103.750% of the aggregate principal amount thereof being redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the
applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date), with the Net Cash Proceeds from one or more
Qualified Equity Offerings; provided, however, that: 
 (1) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes (including any Additional Notes) originally issued prior to the applicable Redemption Date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Notes held, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any
of its Affiliates); and 
 (2) each such redemption occurs within 180 days after the date the Company received the net cash
proceeds of the Qualified Equity Offering. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, in connection with any
tender offer or Change of Control Offer for the Notes, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes in such offer and the Company, or any third
party making such offer in lieu of the Company, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’
prior notice, given not more than 60 days following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to the price offered to each other Holder of the Notes in such offer (which may be
less than par) plus, to the extent not included in the offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on
the relevant Interest Payment Date). 
 (e) Any redemption of the Notes pursuant to this Section 5 may, in the Company’s sole
discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent and, in such case, if any such condition is not satisfied as and when required or waived by the Company, the applicable Redemption Date may be delayed by the Company in its sole discretion
and the Company in its sole discretion may cancel such redemption and rescind any notice of redemption, all as further provided in the Indenture. 

Section 6. Sinking Fund 
 Except as
described in Section 8 below, the Company is not required to make any mandatory redemption, mandatory repurchase or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. The Company may at any time and from time to time acquire Notes by means other
than a redemption or a repurchase pursuant to Section 8 below, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise. 

Section 7. Selection of Notes for Redemption; Notice of Redemption 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time,such Notes for redemption will be selected by the Trustee pro rata or by lot;
provided that, in the case of Notes represented by one or more Global Notes, interests in such Global Notes will be selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance with its applicable procedures therefor. 

  
 A-7 












 Notes shall be redeemed in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof; provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note redeemed in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notice of any redemption will be given as provided in the Indenture at
least 15 but not more than 60 days before the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. 
 On and after a
Redemption Date (or, if the Company has delayed such Redemption Date as provided in the Indenture, on and after the applicable delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be), interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption as long as the Company has deposited with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary has segregated and holds in trust), on or before such Redemption Date (or
delayed Redemption Date, as applicable), funds in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on such Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable), other than Notes or
portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, such Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable)
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable)), and the only remaining right of the
Holders of the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption will be to receive payment of the redemption price and such accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon surrender of the Notes to be redeemed to the Paying Agent. 

Section 8. Repurchase of Notes at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control Triggering Event 

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder of Notes will have the right (unless the Company has exercised its
right to redeem all of the Notes then outstanding pursuant to Section 5 above by sending (or causing the Trustee to send) a notice of redemption as provided in Article 3 of the Indenture) to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of
such Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable Change of Control Payment Date (subject to
the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date). 

Interest on Notes (or portions thereof) validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue on and
after the applicable Change of Control Payment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price of the Notes). 

Section 9. Guarantees; Collateral 

The Company’s obligations under the Notes are fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an
unsubordinated basis and secured by Liens on the Collateral, in each case to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Security Documents, by each of the Guarantors. 

Section 10. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

The Notes are issued in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The
transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations as requested by the 

  
 A-8 












 
Holder if the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s requirements and the requirements under the Indenture (including, if applicable, Appendix A of the
Indenture) for such transaction are met. The Company, the Registrar, any co-Registrar and the Trustee may also require a Holder to furnish endorsements and transfer documents as any of them may reasonably
request in connection with the registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in addition to any documents that are required or may be required as provided in the Indenture (including, without limitation, Appendix A thereto), and the Company, the
Registrar, any co-Registrar and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Registrar or any co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing (or, if not mailed, other transmittal) of
a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing (or other transmittal), (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3 of the Indenture, except the unredeemed portion of any Note
being redeemed in part, (iii) between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (iv) tendered for repurchase pursuant to a Change of Control Offer and not validly withdrawn. 

Section 11. Persons Deemed Owners 

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Holder of a Note may be treated as the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes. 
 Section 12. Unclaimed Money 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, if money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for
two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company as a general creditor and not to the Trustee or Paying Agent for
payment. 
 Section 13. Discharge, Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance; Covenant Termination 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the
Company deposits with the Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. Subject to certain conditions, certain of the
Company’s covenants and obligations under the Indenture may be permanently terminated. Upon any such termination, any Guarantees of the Notes, and the obligations of any Guarantors under the Indenture and their Guarantees, will also be
terminated. 
 Section 14. Amendment, Waiver, Deemed Consents, Releases 

The Indenture, the Notes, any Guarantees or any other guarantees thereof, or the Security Documents may be modified, amended or supplemented
as provided in the Indenture, and compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees or any other guarantees thereof, or the Security Documents may be waived, as provided in the Indenture. Any modification, amendment,
supplement or waiver shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders of Notes, whether or not notation of such modification, amendment, supplement or waiver is made upon the Notes. 

Section 15. Defaults and Remedies 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Company)
shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the request of 

  
 A-9 












 
such Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company as provided in the
Indenture. If an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all principal of, 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 the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and cancel any such acceleration
and its consequences on the terms and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture, and an acceleration of the Notes may, under certain limited circumstances provided for in the Indenture, also be automatically rescinded and cancelled. 

Section 16. Individual Rights of Trustee 

The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11
of the Indenture. 
 Section 17. No Recourse Against Others 

A director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, partner or member of, or owner of an equity interest in, the Company or any
Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of
Notes by accepting a Note shall be deemed to have waived and released all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 

Section 18. Successors 
 Subject to
certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, when a successor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those obligations.

 Section 19. Authentication 

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) signs the certificate of authentication
on the face of this Note by manual, facsimile or electronic signature, provided that any electronic signature is a true representation of the signer’s actual signature.
