depletion and amortization, in each case determined and consolidated for each such Person in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, in the event of an acquisition or disposition of a Subsidiary or material line of business or a material division
during the period of determination and solely for the purposes of determining the Net Leverage Ratio, as the case may be, such calculation shall (a) in the case of such a disposition, exclude for the period of determination, depreciation,

represent the recognition of deferred revenue, the reversal of any accrual of, or reserve for, anticipated cash charges that reduced Consolidated EBITDA in any prior period, and any such items for which cash was received in a prior period that did
not increase Consolidated EBITDA in any prior period) and if Consolidated Income Taxes is a benefit, by the amount of such benefit; and 

(3) increased or decreased (without duplication) to eliminate the following items to the extent reflected in such Consolidated
Net Income: 

  
 7 








 (a) any unrealized net gain or loss resulting in such period from Hedging
Obligations and the application of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging; 
 (b) any

(c) effects of adjustments (including the effects of such adjustments pushed down to the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries) in any line item in such Person’s consolidated financial statements in such period pursuant to GAAP resulting from the application of purchase accounting in relation to any completed acquisition. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (1)(b) through (e) relating to amounts of a Restricted Subsidiary of a Person will be added to
Consolidated Net Income to compute Consolidated EBITDA of such Person only to the extent (and in the same proportion) that the net income (loss) of such Restricted Subsidiary was included in calculating the Consolidated Net Income of such Person
and, to the extent the amounts set forth in clauses (1)(b) through (e) are in excess of those necessary to offset a net loss of such Restricted Subsidiary or if such Restricted Subsidiary has net income for such period included in Consolidated
Net Income, only if a corresponding amount would be permitted at the date of determination to be dividended to the Company by such Restricted Subsidiary without prior approval, pursuant to the terms of its charter and all agreements, instruments,
judgments, decrees, orders, statutes, rules and governmental regulations applicable to that Restricted Subsidiary or its stockholders. 

“Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, with respect to any Person, the ratio of (x) the aggregate amount of
Consolidated EBITDA of such Person for the four full fiscal quarters, treated as one period, for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of the transaction (the “Transaction Date”) (such four
full fiscal quarter period being referred to herein as the “Four Quarter Period”) giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to (y) the aggregate amount of Consolidated Fixed Charges of
such Person for such Four Quarter Period. In addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, for purposes of this definition, “Consolidated EBITDA” and “Consolidated Fixed Charges” shall be calculated after giving effect on
a pro forma basis for the period of such calculation, to any Asset Sales or other dispositions or Asset Acquisitions, investments, mergers, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) occurring during
the Four Quarter Period or any time subsequent to the last day of the Four Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such Asset Sale or other disposition or Asset Acquisition (including the Incurrence or assumption of any such
Acquired Debt and the accrual of any Consolidated EBITDA attributable to the assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale or other disposition or Asset Acquisition), investment, merger, consolidation or disposed operation occurred on the first day
of such Four Quarter Period. For purposes of this definition, pro forma calculations shall be made in the good faith determination of a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company, and any such pro forma calculation may
include, without limitation, adjustments calculated in accordance with Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission; provided that any cost savings and synergies shall be calculated on a basis
consistent with Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission. 

  
 8 








 Furthermore, in calculating this “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”: 

(1) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred any Debt since the beginning of the applicable Four Quarter Period
that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio includes an Incurrence of Debt, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for
such Four Quarter Period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Debt as if such Debt had been Incurred on the first day of such Four Quarter Period and the discharge of any other Debt repaid, repurchased,
redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged with the proceeds of such new Debt as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such Four Quarter Period; 

(2) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged
any Debt since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period that is no longer outstanding on such Transaction Date or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio includes a discharge of Debt (in
each case, other than Debt Incurred under any revolving Debt Facility unless such Debt has been permanently repaid and the related commitment terminated and not replaced), Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving
effect on a pro forma basis to such discharge of Debt, including with the proceeds of such new Debt, as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such Four Quarter Period; 

(3) subject to clause (2) above, the amount of Debt under any revolving Debt Facility outstanding on the Transaction Date
(other than any Debt Incurred under such facility in connection with the transaction giving rise to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) will be deemed to be: (A) the average daily balance of such Debt during such Four
Quarter Period or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding or (B) if such facility was created after the end of such Four Quarter Period, the average daily balance of such Debt during the period from the date of creation of
such facility to the date of such determination; 
 (4) interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at
an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP; 

(5) if any Debt to which pro forma effect is being given bears a floating rate of interest, the interest expense on such
Debt will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Transaction Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligation applicable to such Debt if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term as at the
Transaction Date in excess of 12 months); and 

  
 9 








 (6) if interest on any Debt actually Incurred on the Transaction Date may
optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four Quarter Period. 

If such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly or indirectly Guarantees Debt of a third Person and such Guarantee or the Debt
subject thereto is not otherwise included in the calculation of Consolidated Fixed Charges, the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall give effect to the Incurrence of such Guaranteed Debt as if such Person or such
Subsidiary had directly Incurred or otherwise assumed such Guaranteed Debt and as if such Guarantee occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period. 

“Consolidated Fixed Charges” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum of, without duplication, the amounts
for such period of: 
 (1) Consolidated Interest Expense; and 

(2) all cash dividends and other distributions paid (excluding items eliminated in consolidation) in respect of Redeemable

state, franchise and similar taxes and foreign withholding taxes regardless of whether such taxes or payments are required to be remitted to any governmental authority. 

“Consolidated Interest Expense” means, with respect to any Person for any period, without duplication, the sum of the total
interest expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, including, without limitation or duplication:

premium will be credited to reduce Consolidated Interest Expense unless, pursuant to GAAP, such amortization of bond premium has otherwise reduced Consolidated Interest Expense; 

(2) the net cost under any Hedging Obligation or Swap Contract in respect of interest rate protection (including any
amortization of discounts); 
 (3) the interest portion of any deferred payment obligation;

giving rise thereto, determined as if such lease were a capitalized lease in accordance with GAAP; and

 provided, however, that Consolidated Interest Expense will
exclude (a) the amortization of deferred financing fees, and (b) any expensing of interim loan commitment and other interim financing fees (provided, however, that any such fees will increase Consolidated Interest Expense in future
periods to the extent that such fees become permanent as a result of the contemplated financing transaction not being consummated or otherwise). 

“Consolidated Net Income” means, for any period, the net income (loss) of the Company and its consolidated Restricted
Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that there will not be included in such Consolidated Net Income on an after-tax basis:

the Holders on such record date, and only such Holders, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action (including revocation of any action), whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes, or
each affected Holder, as applicable, on such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.01. 
 (f) The Trustee
may (but shall not be obligated to) set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to join in the giving or making of (1) any notice of default under Section 6.01, (2) any declaration of acceleration
referred to in Section 6.02, (3) any direction referred to in Section 6.05 or (4) any request to pursue a remedy as permitted in Section 6.06. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders on such record
date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, 

  
 43 








 
request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior
to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes or each affected Holder, as applicable, on such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the
Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.01. 

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to
all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder
or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part. 

(h) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including a Depositary that is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or
take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depositary that is the Holder of a
Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such Depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices. 

(i) The Company may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note held
by a Depositary entitled under the procedures of such Depositary, if any, to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this
Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders; provided that the Company may not fix a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or
direction referred to in clause (f) above; provided further that if such a record date is fixed, only the beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies shall be entitled
to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such beneficial owners remain beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note after such record date. No such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date. 

(j) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day
as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 12.01, on or prior to both the existing and the new Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set
pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 90th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the
Expiration Date as provided in this clause (j).

 ARTICLE 2 

THE NOTES 
 Section 2.01. Form and Dating;
Terms. 
 (a) Provisions relating to the Initial Notes, Additional Notes and any other Notes issued under this Indenture are set forth in
Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby
incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules or agreements with national securities exchanges to which the Company or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or
usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company and shall not affect the rights, duties, powers or immunities of the Trustee without the consent of the Trustee). Each Note shall be dated
the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (b) The
aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. 
 The terms and provisions
contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture, and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to
be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Company pursuant to an Offer to Purchase as provided in Section 4.15 or
Section 4.16, and otherwise as not prohibited by this Indenture. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3. 

Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Company without notice to
or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise (other than issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first Interest
Payment Date and the first date from which interest will accrue) as the Initial Notes; provided that the Company’s ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 4.09; provided,
further that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will be issued as a separate series under this Indenture and will have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN from
the Initial Notes. Any Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture supplemental to this Indenture. 

  
 45 








 Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. 

(a) At least one Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on
a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 (b) A Note shall not be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 
 (c) On the Issue Date, the
Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), together with an enforceability opinion for such Initial Notes and the documents to which the Trustee is entitled under
Section 12.03 hereof, authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time and from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, together with an enforceability opinion for such Additional Notes and
the documents to which the Trustee is entitled under Section 12.03 hereof, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder. 

(d) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders, the Company or an Affiliate
of the Company. 
 (e) The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon receipt of an Authentication Order of the Company
signed by one Officer of the Company (i) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000, (ii) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes and (iii) any other Notes
issued in accordance with this Indenture. Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes,
Additional Notes, Unrestricted Global Notes or other Notes. 
 Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

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

  
 46 








 (b) The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The
Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 

Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Company shall, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
on any of the Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the Holders entitled to the same, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of
its action or failure so to act. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held
by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall
serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05. Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such
date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders. 
 Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and
in compliance with Appendix A. 
 (b) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request. 

(c) No service charge shall be imposed on any Holder by the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee or the Registrar for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental taxes and fees required by law or permitted by this Indenture in connection therewith. 

  
 47 








 (d) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange. 
 (e) Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any
Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) to register the transfer of or to
exchange any Note so selected for redemption, or tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in connection with an Offer to Purchase under Section 4.15 or Section 4.16, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of
any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part or (3) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

(f) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the
Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, 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 Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (g) Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.01, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 (h) At the option of
the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive
Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions
of Appendix A. 
 (i) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by facsimile or electronic transmission. 

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes. 
 If
a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the
Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order and such security or indemnity as may be 

  
 48 








 
provided to it, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are otherwise met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be provided by the
Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge the Holder
for the expenses of the Company and the Trustee in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes
duly issued hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, in case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead
of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
 Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. 

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

 (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless 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 in effect in the State of New York. 

(c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to
accrue from and after the date of such payment. 
 (d) If a Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or an Affiliate of
any thereof) holds, on the maturity date, any redemption date or any date of purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall
be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09. Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Notes beneficially owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver
or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and 

  
 49 








 
that the pledgee is not the Company or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the
Company or by any Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes passes to such entity; provided, however, the Trustee
shall not be charged with such knowledge until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee is so informed in writing. 
 Section 2.10. Temporary Notes.

 Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits
accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11. Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and, upon written order of the Company, shall dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of
the cancellation of any Notes shall, upon the written request of the Company, be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (other than
as set forth in this Indenture). 
 Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. 

(a) If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent
lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted
interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than ten days prior to the related payment date
for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company,


  
 50 








 
the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed
or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

(b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon
registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue interest, which were carried by such other Note. 

Section 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers
in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers. 

ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION 

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee. 

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice
of redemption is required to be delivered or caused to be delivered to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’
Certificate setting forth (1) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (2) the redemption date, (3) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed and (4) the redemption price, if then ascertainable. 
 Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

(a) In the case of any partial redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 or if less than all of the Notes are purchased in an Offer, selection
of the Notes for redemption or purchase, as applicable, shall be made in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC (in the case of Global Notes). 

(b) Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that
no Notes of $2,000 in principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for
redemption or purchase. 

  
 51 








 (c) After the redemption date or purchase date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed or
purchased in part only, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the original Note, representing the same Debt to the extent not redeemed or not purchased, shall be issued in the name of the Holder of
the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate book entries shall be made to reflect such partial redemption). 
 Section 3.03.
Notice of Redemption. 
 (a) The Company shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures
of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) notices of redemption of Notes not less than 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption
date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Article at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than
60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or 11. 
 (b) Any notice of redemption, whether
in connection with a Qualified Equity Offering or otherwise, may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s option and discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including,
but not limited to, completion of the related Qualified Equity Offering or other transaction. The Company shall notify the Trustee once the conditions to any such conditional notice of redemption have been satisfied. 

(c) The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP and ISIN number, if applicable) and shall state: 

(1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest; provided that the
Company shall calculate the redemption price; provided, further, that in connection with a redemption under Section 3.07(b), the notice need not set forth the redemption price but only the manner of calculation thereof; 

(3) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed; 

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

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

  
 52 








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

(7) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption
are being redeemed; 
 (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if
any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; 
 (9) if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more
conditions precedent, that, in the Company’s discretion, such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date; and 

(10) if applicable, that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such
redemption may be performed by another Person (it being understood that any such provision for payment by another Person will not relieve the Company and the Guarantors from their obligations with respect to such redemption). 

(d) At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s
expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice
shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03(c). 

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the
redemption date at the redemption price (except as provided for in Section 3.03(a)). The notice, if mailed or delivered by electronic transmission 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 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. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

(a) No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or pay through the applicable procedures of DTC to
each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed or 

  
 53 








 
repurchased the applicable redemption or purchase price thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited
with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

(b) If the Company complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to
accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with
Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid
principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. 
 Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the
Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to the Holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing
the same Debt to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption. 

(a) Except pursuant to clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 3.07, the Notes shall not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior
to December 1, 2020. 
 (b) On and after December 1, 2020, the Company may redeem any Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice mailed or otherwise delivered to each Holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set
forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 1 of each of the years indicated below:

by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

 Section 4.06.
Reports and Other Information. 
 (a) The Company will file with the Commission within the time periods specified in the

applicable to a filer that is not an “accelerated filer” as defined in such rules and regulations): 
 (1) all
quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q (or any successor or comparable form) and 10-K (or any successor or comparable form) if the Company were required to file

 (b) Notwithstanding Section 4.06(a), the Company will not be obligated to

reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section, of the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company. 

(f) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of
such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 4.07. Compliance Certificate.

his or her knowledge, the Company and each Guarantor have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every condition and covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company and each Guarantor are taking or propose to take with
respect thereto). 

  
 58 








 (b) When any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, or
if the Trustee or the holder of any other evidence of Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default or Event of Default, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days
after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate specifying any event which would constitute an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. 

Section 4.08. Limitation on Restricted Payments. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment

 (2) after giving effect to such Restricted
Payment on a pro forma basis, the Company would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to Section 4.09(a); and 

(3) after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis, the aggregate amount expended or declared for
all Restricted Payments made on or after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by any one or more of clauses (2) and (3) and clauses (5) through (7) of Section 4.08(b)) shall not exceed the sum (without
duplication) of (such sum, the “Available Restricted Payments Amount”): 
 (i) 50% of the Consolidated Net

the Issue Date and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of such proposed Restricted Payment; plus 

(ii) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds (including the Fair Market Value of property other than cash) received by the Company

such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination); plus 

  
 59 








 (iii) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company designated as
such on and after the Issue Date is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the
time of such redesignation (other than to the extent the designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary was made pursuant to Section 4.08(b)(10) or constituted a Permitted Investment); plus 

(iv) the amount equal to the net reduction in Restricted Investments made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
in any Person resulting from repurchases or redemptions of Restricted Investments in any Person by such Person, proceeds realized from the sale of such Restricted Investments to an unaffiliated purchaser, repayments of loans or advances or other
transfers of assets (including by way of dividend or distribution) by such Person to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than for reimbursement of tax payments), in each case to the extent such Restricted Investment was previously
included in the calculation of Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (3); plus 
 (v) 100% of any dividends or
interest payments received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary on and after the Issue Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, to the extent such dividends or interest payments were not otherwise included in the calculation of Consolidated Net

 (b) Notwithstanding whether Section 4.08(a) would prohibit the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries from making a Restricted Payment, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may make the following Restricted Payments: 

(1) the payment of any dividend or distribution on Capital Interests in the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or the
consummation of any irrevocable redemption of Subordinated Obligations, within 60 days after declaration thereof or the delivery of any irrevocable notice of redemption, as the case may be, if at the declaration date or date of the notice of

net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will not be considered to be net proceeds of Qualified Capital Interests for purposes of clause (3)(ii) of
Section 4.08(a) and will not be considered to be net cash proceeds from a Qualified Equity Offering for purposes of Section 3.07; 

(3) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated
Obligations of the Company or any Guarantor made by conversion into, or in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue and sale of, Subordinated Obligations of the Company or any redemption, defeasance,
repurchase or acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Obligations of any Guarantor made by conversion into or in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue and sale of Subordinated Obligations of a
Guarantor, so long as such refinancing Subordinated Obligations are permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09 and constitute Refinancing Debt; 

(4) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition for value of Capital Interests in the Company held by
any current or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (or their estates or beneficiaries under their estates) upon death, disability, retirement or termination of employment or alteration of employment

(6) cash payment, in lieu of issuance of fractional shares, in connection with the exercise of warrants, options or other
securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Capital Interests of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; 

  
 61 








 (7) the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of
Redeemable Capital Interests of the Company issued or Incurred in compliance with Section 4.09 to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charges”; 

(8) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of any Subordinated Obligations (a) at a Purchase Price

 (10) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount, when taken together with all other Restricted Payments made

 (12) the distribution, by
dividend or otherwise, of shares of Capital Interests of, or Debt owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company by, Unrestricted Subsidiaries (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries, the primary assets of which are cash and/or cash
equivalents); 
 provided, however, that at the time of and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (4), (7),
(8), (9), (10), (11) and (12) of this Section 4.08(b), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 

Section 4.09. Limitation on Incurrence of Debt. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Debt (including Acquired
Debt); provided, however, that the Company and any of the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Debt (including Acquired Debt) if: 

  
 62 








 (1) immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt and the
receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, determined on a pro forma basis as if any such Debt (including any other Debt being Incurred
contemporaneously), and any other Debt Incurred since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, had been Incurred and the proceeds thereof had been applied at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, and any other Debt repaid (other than Debt
Incurred under the revolving portion of a Debt Facility) since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period had been repaid at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, would be at least 2.00 to 1.00; and 

(2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time or as a consequence of the Incurrence of
such Debt. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.09(a), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Permitted
Debt. 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more
than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is permitted to be Incurred under Section 4.09(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify or divide, and from time to time may reclassify or redivide, all or any portion of such item
of Debt in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09, including the definition of “Permitted Debt”; provided that all Debt outstanding on the Issue Date under the Senior Credit Facility shall be deemed Incurred under
clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt and not Section 4.09(a) or clause (4) of the definition of Permitted Debt and may not later be reclassified. If obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Debt
Facility and relate to other Debt, then such letters of credit shall be treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt and such other Debt shall not be included. In addition, except as provided in the preceding
sentence of this Section 4.09(c), Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Debt that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Debt shall not be included. 

(d) For purposes of determining compliance of any non-U.S. dollar-denominated Debt with this
Section 4.09, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall at all times be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Debt was Incurred, in the case of term
Debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Debt; provided, however, that if such Debt is Incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in the same or different currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable
U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the
principal amount of such Refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Debt that the Company may Incur pursuant to this
Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Debt Incurred to refinance other Debt, if Incurred in a different currency from the Debt being
refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Debt is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 

  
 63 








 (e) The accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the
amortization of debt discount and the payment of interest on Debt in the form of additional Debt and the payment of dividends on Capital Interests in the form of additional shares of Capital Interests with the same terms will not be deemed to be an
Incurrence of Debt for purposes of this Section 4.09. 
 (f) The following shall not be deemed a separate Incurrence of Debt:
(1) the obligation to pay a premium in respect of Debt arising in connection with the issuance of a notice of redemption or making a mandatory offer to purchase such Debt and (2) unrealized losses or charges in respect of Hedging
Obligations. 
 (g) The Company will not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Debt or issue any Redeemable Capital
Interests (in each case, other than any Non-Recourse Debt), except as permitted by Section 4.13. If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Debt of such Subsidiary
shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date. 
 Section 4.10. Limitation on Liens. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, create, Incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Liens of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) on or with respect to any of its property or assets (including Capital Interests of Subsidiaries), or income or profits therefrom, now owned or hereafter acquired or any of its
interest therein or any income or profits therefrom, which Liens secure Debt, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Liens: 

(1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations, the Notes and related Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such
property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or 
 (2) in all other cases, the Notes and related
Note Guarantees are equally and ratably secured or are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens. 

Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the related Liens described in clauses (1) and (2) above. 
 Section 4.11. Future
Guarantors. 
 (a) On the Issue Date or thereafter, if any Restricted Subsidiary, including any newly-acquired or newly-created
Restricted Subsidiary, becomes a borrower under the Senior Credit Facility or Guarantees the Obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, then that Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor by execution of a supplemental indenture within 30
days of the date of such event, pursuant to which such Subsidiary will irrevocably and unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes
and all other Obligations under this Indenture on a senior basis. 

  
 64 








 (b) Each Note Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be
guaranteed by that Guarantor without rendering the guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, abuse of corporate assets or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally or otherwise to reflect applicable laws, including laws relating to the liability of directors and managers. 
 (c) Each
Note Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06. In the event that any released Guarantor thereafter borrows money or guarantees Debt under the Senior Credit Facility, such former Guarantor shall again
provide a Note Guarantee. 
 Section 4.12. Limitation on Dividend and other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or
permit to exist or become effective or enter into any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of such Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Interests owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary,
or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Debt or other obligations owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Interests in
receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common Interests shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions in Capital Interests); 

(2) make loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or
advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Debt Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or 

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

(b) Section 4.12(a) will not apply to the following encumbrances or restrictions (including those existing under or by reason of): 

(1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions pursuant to any Debt Facilities and related documentation and other agreements or
instruments in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date; 
 (2) any encumbrance or restriction under this Indenture, the
Notes and the Note Guarantees; 

  
 65 








 (3) any encumbrance or restriction existing at the time of the acquisition of
property, so long as the encumbrances or restrictions relate solely to the property so acquired (and are not or were not created in anticipation of or in connection with the acquisition thereof); 

(4) any encumbrance or restriction which exists with respect to a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges with or
into a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on or after the Issue Date, which is in existence at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges with or into a Restricted Subsidiary, but not created in connection with or in
anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary or merging with or into a Restricted Subsidiary, and which is not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such Person or the property or assets of such
Person; 
 (5) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a permitted renewal, refunding, replacement,
refinancing or extension of Debt issued pursuant to an agreement containing any encumbrance or restriction referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) through (4), so long as such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement are
not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those contained in the agreements governing the Debt being renewed, refunded, replaced, refinanced or extended in the good faith judgment of
the Company; 
 (6) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease, sublease, contract, or license of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or provisions in agreements that restrict the assignment of such agreement or any rights thereunder; 

(7) any encumbrance or restriction by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation, order, approval, license, permit or similar
restriction; 
 (8) any encumbrance or restriction in connection with the sale of assets or Capital Interests, including,
without limitation, any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; 

(9) restrictions on cash and other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or suppliers under contracts entered into the
ordinary course of business; 
 (10) encumbrances and restrictions under any instrument governing Debt or Capital Interests
of a Person acquired by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Debt or Capital Interests were Incurred or issued in connection with or in contemplation of such
acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Debt, such
Debt was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be Incurred; 

  
 66 








 (11) encumbrances or restrictions that are customary provisions in joint venture
agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements, sale leaseback agreements and other similar agreements; 
 (12)
encumbrances and restrictions arising in respect of purchase money obligations (including Capital Lease Obligations) for property acquired in the ordinary course of business permitted under this Indenture, in each case, to the extent such
restrictions and encumbrances limit the right of the debtor to dispose of assets subject to such Liens and apply to the property so acquired (and proceeds thereof); 

(13) Liens securing Debt or other obligations otherwise permitted to be Incurred under this Indenture, including pursuant to
the provisions of Section 4.10 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of assets subject to such Liens; 
 (14)
encumbrances or restrictions relating to any Non-Recourse Receivable Subsidiary Debt or any other contractual requirements of a Receivable Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with a
Qualified Receivables Transaction; provided that such restrictions apply only to such Receivable Subsidiary or the accounts receivable and related assets described in the definition of Qualified Receivables Transaction which are subject to
such Qualified Receivables Transaction; 
 (15) any other agreement governing Debt entered into after the Issue Date in
compliance with Section 4.09 that contains encumbrances and restrictions that are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Issue Date with respect to that
Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to any agreements in effect on the Issue Date or that do not materially affect the Company’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes; 

(16) restrictions on the sale, lease or transfer of property or assets arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business,
not relating to any Debt, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a
whole; and 
 (17) encumbrances or restrictions arising under deferred compensation arrangements or any “rabbi
trust” formed in connection with any such arrangement. 
 Section 4.13. Limitation on Creation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Company may designate any Subsidiary of the Company (including any newly-acquired or newly-formed Subsidiary) as an “Unrestricted
Subsidiary” under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if: 
 (1) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing after giving effect to such Designation; 

  
 67 








 (2) the Subsidiary to be so designated and its Subsidiaries do not at the time of
Designation own any Capital Interests or Debt of, or own or hold any Lien with respect to, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 

(3) all the Debt of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries shall, at the date of designation, and will at all times thereafter,
consist of Non-Recourse Debt; 
 (4) such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to
which neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation to: 
 (A) subscribe
for additional Capital Interests of such Subsidiary; or 
 (B) maintain or preserve such Subsidiary’s financial
condition or to cause such Subsidiary to achieve any specified levels of operating results; 
 (5) on the date such
Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary is not a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with terms substantially less favorable to the Company than
those that might have been obtained from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company; and 
 (6) either (a) the
Subsidiary to be so designated has total consolidated assets of $1,000 or less or (b) the Company could at the time of Designation make (i) a Restricted Payment in an amount equal to the greater of the Fair Market Value or book value of
such Subsidiary pursuant to Section 4.08 and such amount is thereafter treated as a Restricted Payment for the purpose of calculating the amount available for Restricted Payments thereunder or (ii) a Permitted Investment. 

(b) The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Revocation”) only if, immediately
after giving effect to such Revocation: 
 (1) all the Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be Incurred pursuant to
Section 4.09; 
 (2) all the Liens on the property and assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be incurred pursuant
to Section 4.10; and 
 (3) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing after giving effect to such
Revocation. 
 (c) Any such Designation or Revocation shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such Designation or Revocation, as the case may be, and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Designation or Revocation complied with the foregoing conditions. 

  
 68 








 (d) A Revocation will be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt by a Restricted Subsidiary of any
outstanding Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the foregoing requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of
this Indenture, and any Debt of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred as of such date. 
 Section 4.14. Transactions with Affiliates.

 (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell,
lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of related transactions, contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee
with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving with respect to each such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions aggregate
consideration in excess of $15.0 million, unless: 
 (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not
materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction by the Company or such
Subsidiary with a Person that is not an Affiliate; and 
 (2) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related
Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $35.0 million, the Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company and by a majority of the members
of such Board of Directors having no personal stake in such transaction, if any, approving such Affiliate Transaction together with an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this
Section 4.14(a). 
 (b) Section 4.12(a) will not limit, and shall not apply to: 

(1) Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of this Indenture described under Section 4.08 and Permitted
Investments (other than Permitted Investments made pursuant to clause (2) or (17) of the definition thereof); 

(2) the provision of customary compensation (including bonus and equity compensation) and other benefits (including vacation,
retirement, stock compensation, health, option, severance, deferred compensation, retirement, savings and other benefit plans), indemnities, contribution and insurance to directors, officers and employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
in the ordinary course of business to the extent permitted by law; 
 (3) transactions between or among the Company and/or
its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Receivable Subsidiary), including any such transactions with any third Person that is not an Affiliate; 

  
 69 








 (4) any agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendment
or modification thereto so long as such amendment or modification is not more disadvantageous, taken as a whole, in any material respect to the Holders than the agreement or arrangement in existence on the Issue Date; 

(5) any contribution of capital to the Company; 

(6) any transaction with a joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than an Unrestricted
Subsidiary) that constitutes an Affiliate solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in such joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity; provided that no other Affiliate of the
Company, other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, shall have any beneficial interest or otherwise participate in such joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity; 

(7) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or lessors or lessees of
property, in each case in the ordinary course of business that are, in the aggregate (taking into account all of the costs and benefits associated with such transactions), on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as determined in good faith by the Company, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of
the Company; 
 (8) transactions effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Transaction; 

(9) any employment, severance or consulting agreement or other compensation agreement, arrangement or plan, or any amendment
thereto, entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; 
 (10) sales
of Capital Interests (other than Redeemable Capital Interests) to Affiliates of the Company; 
 (11) any transaction in which
the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, deliver to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or
that such transaction complies with clause (1) of Section 4.14(a); 
 (12) transactions between the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person that constitutes an Affiliate solely because a director thereof is also a director of the Company; provided that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company on any matter
involving such other Person; 
 (13) any transaction on arm’s-length terms with non-Affiliates that become Affiliates as a result of such transaction; and 

  
 70 








 (14) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business consistent
with the past practices of the Company or Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not in excess of $10.0 million outstanding at any one time with respect to all loans or advances (without giving effect to the forgiveness of any such
loan). 
 Section 4.15. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a) Within 30 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make an Offer to Purchase all of the outstanding
Notes at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Purchase Date (the “Change of Control Payment”). 

(b) On the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in integral multiples of $1,000) properly tendered pursuant to the Offer
to Purchase; provided that if, following repurchase of a portion of a Note, the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase 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 the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Purchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes so
tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an
Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.15. 

(c) The Paying Agent will promptly mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) to each Holder of
Notes so tendered the Purchase Price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate upon receipt of an Authentication Order and mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) (or cause to be
transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (d) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes validly tender
and do not withdraw such Notes in an Offer to Purchase the Notes upon a Change of Control and the Company, or any third party making an offer to purchase the Notes upon a Change of Control in lieu of the Company purchases all of the Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, given not more than 30 days following the Purchase Date, to redeem all Notes that remain
outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. 

  
 71 








 (e) If a Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment
Date, any accrued and unpaid interest to the Purchase Date will be paid on the Purchase Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. 

(f) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with any repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.15. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 

(g) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.15, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall be made pursuant to
the provisions of Section 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06. 
 (h) The Company will not be required to make an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of
Control if (1) a third party makes such Offer to Purchase in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Indenture and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Offer to Purchase
(it being understood that such third party may make a Change of Control Offer that is conditioned on and prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control) or (2) the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to
Sections 3.03 and 3.07, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. 
 (i) An Offer to Purchase
may be made in advance of a Change of Control conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Offer to Purchase is made. 

Section 4.16. Limitation on Asset Sales. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless: 

(1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at
least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Capital Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be, is in the form of cash or Eligible Cash Equivalents. 
 For purposes of clause (2) of this Section 4.16(a) and for no other purpose, each of
the following will be deemed to be cash: 

  
 72 








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

(ii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee
that are repaid, converted or sold or otherwise disposed of by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Eligible Cash Equivalents within 180 days of their receipt to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and 

(iii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that
time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $125.0 million and (y) 5.0% of the Total Assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries at the time of the receipt of such Designated
Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to
subsequent changes in value. 
 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale, or, if with respect to
clauses (3), (4) and (5) of this Section 4.16(b), within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Available Cash from any Asset Sale the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary entered into a contractual commitment pursuant to a binding
agreement with the good faith expectation to apply any such Net Available Cash within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”), then, within the later of 365 days after the receipt of such Net Available Cash and 180
days from the date of the Acceptable Commitment, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Available Cash at its option to any combination of the following: 

(1) to permanently reduce: (A) Secured Debt under the Senior Credit Facility, (B) Secured Debt of the Company (other
than any Redeemable Capital Interests or Subordinated Obligations) or Secured Debt of a Guarantor (other than any Redeemable Capital Interests or Subordinated Obligations) or (C) Debt of a Non-Guarantor
Subsidiary, in each case, other than Debt owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; 
 (2) to repay or reduce other
Debt that ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Notes (“Pari Passu Debt”), other than Redeemable Capital Interests and Debt owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; provided that if the Company shall
so reduce any such Pari Passu Debt, the Company shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided either, at the Company’s option, under Section 3.07, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are
at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.16 for an Offer to Purchase) to all Holders of Notes to purchase some or all of their Notes at a purchase
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be paid; 

  
 73 








 (3) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets or a line of business of,
or any Capital Interests of, another Person engaged in a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Interests, such Person is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 

(4) to make capital expenditures in or that are used or useful in a Permitted Business or to make expenditures for maintenance,
repair or improvement of existing properties and assets in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (5) to
acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or 

(6) any combination of the foregoing; 

provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) or
(6) of this Section 4.16(b), the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings under any Debt Facility or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this
Indenture. 
 (c) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.16(b) will
constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $75.0 million, the Company will, within 30 days thereof, make an Offer to Purchase to all Holders of Notes (on a pro rata basis among the
Notes), and to all holders of other Pari Passu Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt that may be
purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Offer to Purchase will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase and will be payable in cash, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the definition of Offer to Purchase or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Debt, as applicable, in the case of the Notes in integral multiples of $1,000; provided that if, following repurchase
of a portion of a Note, the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase 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. The Company shall commence an Offer to Purchase with respect to Excess Proceeds by mailing (or otherwise delivering in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) the
notice required pursuant to the definition of Offer to Purchase to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. 
 If any Excess Proceeds remain
after consummation of an Offer to Purchase, the Company may use those funds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and they will no longer constitute Excess Proceeds. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari
Passu Debt tendered in such Offer to Purchase exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company will select the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by
the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof will be purchased). Upon completion of each Offer to Purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

  
 74 








 (d) If the Purchase Date is on or after an applicable Record Date and on or before the related
Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest to the Purchase Date will be paid on the Purchase Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date. 

(e) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
applicable securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this
Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 Section 4.17. Effectiveness of Covenants. 

(a) Following the first day (a “Suspension Date”): 

(1) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies; and 

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described
in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), 
 the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.08, 4.09, 4.11 (but only with respect to any Person that is required to become a Guarantor after such Covenant Suspension Event), 4.12, 4.14, 4.16 and 5.01(a)(3)
(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 
 (b) In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not
subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to the Notes following any Suspension Date and, subsequently, either one or both Rating Agencies withdraws its rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes below the required Investment Grade
Rating, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with
performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default is in
existence; provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants
remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” 

  
 75 








 (c) On the Reinstatement Date, all Debt (including any Acquired Debt) Incurred during the
Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or, at the Company’s option, pursuant to one of the clauses set forth in the definition of “Permitted Debt” (in each case, to the
extent such Debt would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reinstatement Date and after giving effect to Debt Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reinstatement Date). To the extent such Debt would not be so
permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09, such Debt will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified or permitted under clause (4) of the definition of “Permitted Debt.” Calculations
made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.08 will be made as though such covenant had been in effect from the Issue Date and prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period.
Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.08(a). 

(d) During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, the Board of Directors of the Company may not designate any of the
Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture. 
 (e) Promptly following the occurrence of any Covenant
Suspension Event or Reinstatement Date, the Company will provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee regarding such occurrence. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently determine or verify if a Covenant Suspension Event or
Reinstatement Date has occurred or notify the Holders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reinstatement Date. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officers’ Certificate to any Holder of the Notes upon written request. 

Section 4.18. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless: 

(1) the consideration received in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the
property sold, as confirmed by an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee; 
 (2) prior to and after giving effect to the
Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the Company and such Restricted Subsidiary comply with Section 4.09 (if Section 4.09 is not then a Suspended Covenant); and 

(3) at or after such time the Company and such Restricted Subsidiary also comply with Section 4.16 (if Section 4.16
is not then a Suspended Covenant). 

  
 76 








 ARTICLE 5 

SUCCESSORS 
 Section 5.01. Consolidation,
Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease. 
 (a) The Company will not in any transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or
merge with or into or wind up into any other Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation), or directly or indirectly sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or
assets of the Company, taken as a whole, to any other Person, unless: 
 (1) (i) the Company is the surviving Person
or (ii) the resulting or surviving Person (if not the Company) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition has been made (such Person, the “Successor Company”) (A) shall
be a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States, any political subdivision thereof or any state thereof or the District of Columbia (and, if such entity is
not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation organized under any such laws) and (B) the Successor Company shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture or other documents or
instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture; 

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including,
without limitation, any Debt Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(3) immediately after giving effect to any such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including,
without limitation, any Debt Incurred or anticipated to be Incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of transactions) as if such transaction or series of transactions had occurred on the first day of the determination
period, (A) the Successor Company could Incur $1.00 of additional Debt under Section 4.09(a) or (B) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recent Four
Quarter Period shall be equal to or greater than such Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such transaction (or the first such transaction if there are a series of transactions); 

(4) each Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, in which case clause (1) of
Section 5.01(c) shall apply) shall have by a supplemental indenture confirmed that its Note Guarantee shall apply to such Successor Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; and 

(5) the Company delivers, or causes to be delivered, to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, lease or other disposition complies with the requirements of this Indenture. 

  
 77 








 (b) Subject to certain limitations set forth in this Indenture, the Successor Company will
succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to satisfy the requirements of clauses (2) and (3) of Section 5.01(a) will not prohibit:

 (1) a merger between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary that is a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or the sale,
assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a Restricted Subsidiary that is a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company; or 

(2) a merger between the Company and an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating or forming the
Company in another state or territory of the United States or the District of Columbia, so long as, in each case, the amount of Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. 

(c) The Company will not permit any Guarantor in any transaction or series of related transactions, to consolidate or merge with or into or

 Section 6.02. Acceleration. 

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (9) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company)
occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued interest on the Notes to be due and
payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration, if (1) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decrees and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of, premium on, of any, or interest, if any, on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, as provided in this Indenture. 

(b) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an Event of Default specified in clause (7) of
Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (7) of
Section 6.01 shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 20 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the
rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Notes. 

(c) If an Event of Default specified in clause (9) of Section 6.01 occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of and any
accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 

(d) The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest) if
the Trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders to do so. 
 Section 6.03. Other Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if
any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a
proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

  
 82 








 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents
obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any past Default under this Indenture and rescind its consequences if such a waiver and rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdictions, except a default: 
 (1) in any payment in
respect of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Notes (including any Note which is required to have been purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase which has been made by the Company); or 

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent
of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. 

Subject to Section 7.01(e), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, and the Trustee may take any action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee, or that is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder, or that would involve the Trustee in
personal liability. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

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

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

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested in writing to the
Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holders have offered the Trustee security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days
after the receipt of the request and the offer of security and indemnity; and 
 (5) the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request within such 60-day period. 

  
 83 








 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or
priority over another Holder. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
on its Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note (including in connection with an Offer to Purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. 

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

Section 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders
shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted. 

Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no
right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

  
 84 








 Section 6.12. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee

the Notes, including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and is entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Any custodian, receiver, trustee or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 7.06. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 out of the
estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled
to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.13. Priorities. 
 If the
Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order, on the date or dates fixed by the Trustee: 

(1) First, to the Trustee and its agents and attorneys for all amounts due under Section 7.06, including payment of all
reasonable compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

applicable. 

  
 85 








 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.13. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this Section 6.13, the Trustee shall cause notice of such record date and payment date to be given to the Company and to each Holder in the manner set forth in
Section 12.01. 
 Section 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to
Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in

specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) 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:

withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 Section 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of
this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. 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 promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 (b) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and
severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold each of the Trustee and any predecessor harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it arising out
of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any Guarantor (including this
Section 7.06)) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or any Guarantor of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall
defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred
by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith (as determined in a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction). 

  
 89

the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 (d) To secure the payment
obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except funds held in trust to pay
principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (e) When the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(9) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Section 7.07. Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice of such resignation to the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee upon 30 days’ written notice if:

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

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

(a) Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to this Indenture, all outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees on the date the conditions set
forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of Holders of such Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of and any premium, if any, and
interest on such Notes when payments are due, solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04; 

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes,
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Company’s obligations in connection
therewith; and 
 (4) this Section 8.02. 

(b) Following the Company’s exercise of its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default. 
 (c) Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02

this Indenture and the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under

 Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 (a) The following shall be the conditions to the exercise of either the Legal Defeasance option
under Section 8.02 or the Covenant Defeasance option under Section 8.03 with respect to the outstanding Notes:

scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient without
reinvestment, in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, the entire indebtedness in

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that: 

  
 93 








 (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 
 (ii) since the Issue Date, 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 and
beneficial owners of such Notes will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the
same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge were not to occur; 

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the Holders and beneficial owners of such Notes will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to U.S.

(4) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the outstanding Notes shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of
such deposit after giving effect thereto (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien to secure such borrowing); 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
any material agreement or material instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Debt being defeased, discharge or replaced) to which the Company or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Company or any of
the Guarantors is bound; 
 (6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion

 94 








 Section 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions. 
 (a) Subject to Section 8.06, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Company or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, but such money need not
be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (b) The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax,
fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for
the account of the Holders. 
 (c) Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the
Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Section 8.06. Repayment to the Company. 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year 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) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published
once, in The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or government obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or
Section 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under
this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 

  
 95 








 
Section 8.03, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall not be responsible for making any determination as to whether or not the consent of Holders

Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case
the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 (c) It shall not be
necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 (d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall give to the Holders
a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure of the Company to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 

  
 97

Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees. 

  
 98 








 (g) A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note
Guarantees by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. 
 Section 9.03.
Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
 (a) Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a
Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any
such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix
a record date pursuant to Section 1.04 for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

waiver. 
 Section 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent are satisfied with respect to the execution and delivery of any such
amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver, that such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company and each Guarantor party thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and that such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver complies with the provisions hereof. 

Section 9.06. Payment for Consent. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid


  
 99 








 
to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or amendment; provided that if
such consents, waivers or amendments are sought in connection with an exchange offer where participation in such exchange offer is limited to Holders who are “qualified institutional buyers,” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, or non-U.S. persons, within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, then such consideration need only be offered to all Holders to whom the exchange offer is made and to be paid
to all such Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in such time frame. 
 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01. Guarantee.

 (a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on
a senior unsecured basis, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (1) the
principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful,
and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise
(collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Failing payment by the Company when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay
the same immediately. Each of the Note Guarantees shall be a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 (b) The Guarantors
hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with
respect to any provisions hereof or thereof (other than any waiver or consent expressly releasing such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder), the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of
the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the
Notes and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 10.06. 

  
 100 








 (c) Each of the Guarantors also agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) Incurred by the Trustee in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 

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

 (e) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of
the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the
purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the
Note Guarantees. 
 (f) Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed
by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s
assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must
otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the
event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned. 
 (g) In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 (h) Each payment to be made by a
Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 

  
 101 








 Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or abuse of
corporate assets or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, including laws relating to the liability of directors and managers, in each case to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this
Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee will be entitled
upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all
the Guarantors at the time of such payment, determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery. 

(a) To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on
behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer or person holding an equivalent title.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.3 of this
Appendix A), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part if the transfer is by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by
the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested

beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the
Distribution Compliance Period. Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of this Indenture.


  
 Appendix A-5 








 (iii) Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial
interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note upon certification in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for an
exchange from a Regulation S Global Note to an Unrestricted Global Note. 
 (iv) Beneficial interests in a Transfer
Restricted Note that is a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such exchange is in respect of a
transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A) and/or upon delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as the Company or
the Trustee may reasonably request. 
 (v) If no Unrestricted Global Note is outstanding at the time of a transfer
contemplated by the preceding clauses (iii) and (iv), the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon an Authentication Order, a new Unrestricted Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

1. INTEREST. Matthews International Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at 5.250% per annum until but excluding maturity. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next

provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be June 1, 2018. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time
on demand at the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace
periods) from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business
on the May 15 or November 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,
except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at the option
of the Company, payment of interest and premium, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the Note Register; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be
required with respect to principal, premium, if any, and interest on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent at least five Business Days prior to the
applicable payment date. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

5. REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE. The Notes are subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of an Offer to Purchase, as further
described in the Indenture. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

$1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents, and Holders shall be required to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption or tendered for
repurchase in connection with an Offer to Purchase, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part. 

7. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This certificate is
delivered to request a transfer of $[                ] principal amount of the 5.250% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) of Matthews International
Corporation (the “Company”). 
 Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as
follows: 

Name:

Taxpayer ID Number:                     
                 
 The undersigned represents and warrants to
you that: 
 1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are
acquiring the Notes, for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the
economic risk of our or its investment. 
 2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so
registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is
one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only
in accordance with the Restricted Notes Legend (as such term is defined in the indenture under which the Notes were issued) on the Notes and any 
  

  
 Exhibit B-1 








 
applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other
transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and
the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such
Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction
Termination Date of the Notes with respect to applicable transfers described in the Restricted Notes Legend to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
