subdivision or taxing authority thereof having one of the two highest ratings obtainable from either Moody’s or S&P (or, if at any time neither Moody’s nor S&P is rating such obligations, reasonably equivalent ratings of another
internationally recognized ratings agency) with maturities of 24 months or less from the date of acquisition; 
 (8) (a)

 (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company; 
 (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or

than number of shares; or 
 (4) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person

 Section 2.01.
Form and Dating. 
 (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 thereof. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will 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. 
 (b) Global Notes.
Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form
will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the
outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented
thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes
represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated under this
Indenture is unlimited. The Company may, subject to Article 4 of this Indenture and applicable law, issue Additional Notes 

  
 -22- 








 
under this Indenture. The Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture. Furthermore, in the
case of Additional Notes having the same “CUSIP” number as the Notes issued on the date hereof, such Additional notes shall be fungible with all other Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. At any time and from time to time after the
execution of this Indenture, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by at least one Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”) and an Opinion of Counsel, authenticate Notes for
(i) original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order and (ii) Additional Notes in such amounts as may be specified from time to time without limit, so long as such issuance is permitted under Article 4
of this Indenture and applicable law. The Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably 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 or the Company
or an Affiliate of the Company. 
 Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. 

The 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 notice to any Holder.
The Company will promptly 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 Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee, and
the Trustee hereby agrees, to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. The Company has entered into a letter of representations with DTC in the form provided by DTC and the Trustee and each
Agent are hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and Applicable Procedures. 
 The Company will be responsible for making
calculations called for under the Notes, including but not limited to determination of redemption price, premium, if any, and any additional amounts or other amounts payable on the Notes. The Company will make the calculations in good faith and
provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. 

Section 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. 

The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit
of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will promptly 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, the Paying Agent
(if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will 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 will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary
to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes
shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes if: 
 (1) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it
is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such
notice from the Depositary; 
 (2) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in
part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or 
 (3) there
has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. 
 Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding
events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee, and upon the occurrence of the preceding events in (3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in exchange for
beneficial interests in a Global Note upon request therefor by the Depositary acting upon instruction of the holder of such beneficial interest in such Global Note. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in

in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in
Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof. 
 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and
exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be subject to

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or either the Company or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an

paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the
Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease
to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09. Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by
the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will 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 knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. 

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

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of canceled Notes in
its customary manner. Certification of the disposition of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company upon its written request therefor. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation.

 Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. 

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 hereof. 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. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be
less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company)
shall send to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

Section 2.13. CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case if then generally
in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided 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 a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Notes. 

ARTICLE III

(1) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; 

(2) the redemption date; 

(3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and 

(4) the redemption price. 

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes To Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, Notes for redemption or purchase shall be
selected on a pro rata basis or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate (or, in the case of Global Notes, beneficial interests in such Notes may be selected for redemption by the applicable clearing system in accordance with
customary procedures), in whole multiples of $1,000. 
 In the event of partial redemption or purchase of certificated Notes, the particular
Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption
or purchase. 

  
 -34- 








 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the certificated Notes selected for
redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000
thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not in the amount of $2,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000 thereof, shall be redeemed or
purchased. 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. 

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will
send a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of
the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles VIII or XI hereof. 
 The notice will identify the Notes to
be redeemed and will state: 
 (1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price; 

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the
redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name of the Holder of Notes upon cancellation of the original Note; 

(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; 

(6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to
accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which
the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give
the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee
give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
 Section 3.04.
Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
 Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for
redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. 
 Notices of any redemption of the Notes may
be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent established by the Company, in its sole discretion. If applicable, such notice shall state that, at the discretion of the Company, the redemption date may be delayed until such time
as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived). In addition, the Company may provide in any such notice that payment of the redemption price and the performance of its obligations with respect to such redemption may not be performed by
another Person.

 Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

One Business Day prior to 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, as applicable, of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. 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. 

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, 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 a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall
be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company
to comply with the preceding paragraph, 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 not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at
the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
 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 authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. 

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption.

redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of Equity Offering. 
 (b) Any redemption or notice of any redemption with the
proceeds of an Equity Offering pursuant to Section 3.07(a) hereof may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of such Equity Offering and may be given prior to
the completion thereof. 
 (c) At any time prior to January 15, 2021, the Company may redeem all or a part of the notes upon notice as
described in Section 3.03 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the date of redemption, subject to the
rights of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

	  	 	102.500	% 
	 2022
	  	 	101.250	% 
	 2023 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes
or portions thereof called for redemption on and after the applicable redemption date. 
 (f) Any redemption pursuant to this
Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 
 Section 3.08. Mandatory
Redemption. 
 The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes, other than as
set forth in Section 3.10 hereof. 
 Section 3.09. Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. 

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an
“Asset Sale Offer”), it will follow the procedures specified below. 
 The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all
Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. The Asset
Sale Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer
Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase
of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any
Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 
 If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record
date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable
to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 
 Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will deliver a
notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the
terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state: 
 (1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09
and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open; 
 (2) the Offer Amount, the
purchase price and the Purchase Date; 
 (3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue
interest; 
 (4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the
Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Purchase Date; 

  
 -37- 








 (5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale
Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in whole multiples of $1,000 only; 
 (6) that Holders electing to have Notes
purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a
Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case
may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
 (8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other
pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company will select the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and
such other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or whole multiples of $1,000 thereof, will be purchased); and 

(9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
 On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent
lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been properly
tendered and not withdrawn, all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof
were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after the Purchase
Date) deliver to each Holder of the Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and
the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order from the Company, will authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date. 

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 
 Section 3.10. Special Mandatory Redemption. The Escrow Agreement (as
defined below in Section 4.21 hereof) shall provide that if (i) the Escrow Agent has not received the Officer’s Certificate described in Section 4(a) of the Escrow Agreement on or prior to the Outside Date or the Extended Outside
Date, as applicable, or (ii) the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that the SSNI Acquisition will not be consummated or otherwise announces that the Acquisition Agreement has been terminated, then the Escrow Proceeds (including
investment earnings thereon and proceeds thereof) shall be released, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, to the Trustee on the first Business Day following the Outside Date, the Extended Outside Date or the date of such notification or
announcement, as applicable (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”). In no event will the Special Mandatory Redemption Date be later than September 30, 2018. On the Special Mandatory Redemption Date or as otherwise
required by the applicable procedures of DTC, the Company shall redeem all of the Notes (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Amount”) equal to
101% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest


  
 -38- 








 
due on the relevant interest payment date falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee and DTC, no later than the date that is one
Business Day prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, a redemption notice setting forth the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. On the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Trustee shall pay to the Company any Escrow Proceeds in excess of the
amount necessary to effect the Special Mandatory Redemption. 
 ARTICLE IV 

COVENANTS 
 Section 4.01.
Payment of Notes. 
 The Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes
on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern
Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. 

The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate
equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without
regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

 The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or
an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes
and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency
or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any
or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with
Section 2.03 hereof. 
 Section 4.03. Reports. 

(a) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the
Trustee and, upon request, the Holders of Notes, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations: 

(1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms
10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such reports; and 

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if
the Company were required to file such reports. 
 All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the
rules and regulations applicable to such reports based on the Company’s status as an “accelerated filer” or “large accelerated 

  
 -39- 








 
filer” (each as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) or as a “non-accelerated filer” (as
used in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act), as the case may be, under the SEC’s rules and regulations. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements by the Company’s certified independent accountants. In addition, the Company will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public
availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and will post the reports on its website as soon as practicable thereafter. 

If, at any time, the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will
nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in this Section 4.03(a) with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Company will not take any action for the purpose of causing the
SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company will post the reports referred to in this Section 4.03(a) on its website within the time
periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC.

Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.03(a) will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes
thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and
results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company. 
 (c) For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time
they are not required to file with the SEC the reports required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.03, the Company and the Guarantors will furnish to the Holders of Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon
their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any direct or indirect parent of the Company is or becomes a Guarantor of the Notes, the Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.03 with respect to financial information relating to the Company by
furnishing financial information relating to such direct or indirect parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such direct or
indirect parent and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company, the Guarantors and the other Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company on a standalone
basis, on the other hand. 
 (e) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the
Trustee’s receipt of such reports or other documents, as applicable, 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 Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s or
any other Person’s compliance with the covenants described above or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under this Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve the Trustee of any obligations to monitor the
Company’s timely delivery of all reports described in the first paragraph of this Section 4.03. 
 Section 4.04.
Compliance Certificate. 
 (a) The Company and each Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each
fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether
the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed
and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a 

  
 -40- 








 
Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a
description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) So long as any of the Notes
are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what
action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 4.05. Taxes. 

The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental
levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or
in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and
each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 

Section 4.07. Restricted Payments. 

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

(1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the
Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such except dividends or distributions payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company; 

(2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or
consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company held by Persons other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(3) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any
Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the Notes or to any Note Guarantee (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except any purchase,
redemption or other acquisition thereof or a payment of interest or principal, in each case, at the Stated Maturity thereof or in anticipation of the Stated Maturity thereof when due within one year of such redemption, repurchase, defeasance or
other acquisition or retirement; or 
 (4) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in
these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), 

  
 -41- 








 unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment: 

(1) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment; 

(2) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted
Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof; and 

(3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of this Indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2) through (13) of paragraph (b) of this Section 4.07), is less than the sum, without duplication (the
“Cumulative Credit”), of:

dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 
 (10) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or

hereof; provided that the Company determines in good faith that such encumbrances and restrictions (x) will not cause the Company to not have the funds necessary to pay the principal of or interest on the Notes and (y) are not

Restricted Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries (immediately prior to such redesignation) and their respective properties and assets; 

(15) restrictions in effect on the Issue Date that are contained in charter documents or shareholder agreements relating to any

 Section 4.09. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock
and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock and the Guarantors may
incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately
preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma
application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period. 

(b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness

of Indebtedness and letters of credit and bank guarantees under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit and bank guarantees being deemed to have a principal amount
equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed (a) the greater of (x) $1.450 billion and (y) an amount such that, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to
the incurrence of such Indebtedness (and the application of the net proceeds therefrom), the Secured Leverage Ratio would be less than 3.25 to 1.00, less (b) the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of this Indenture to repay permanently any term Indebtedness under a Credit Facility or to repay permanently any revolving credit Indebtedness under a Credit Facility and effect a
corresponding permanent commitment reduction thereunder pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof; 
 (2) the incurrence by the
Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness; 
 (3) the incurrence by the Company and any of

price or cost of design, development, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment or other asset used or useful in the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (whether through the direct purchase
of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets and whether such Indebtedness is owed to the seller or Person carrying out such construction or improvement or to any third party) in an aggregate principal amount, including all
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (3), not to exceed the greater of (x) $75.0 million and (y) 3.0% of Total Assets at any
time outstanding; 
 (4) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under
Section 4.09(a) hereof or clauses (2), (5), (14) or (17) of this Section 4.09(b); 
 (5) the incurrence by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that: 

(A) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, such
Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and 

  
 -46- 








 (B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results
in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (5); 

(6) the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and 

(B) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (6); 

(7) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of
business and entered into for bona fide hedging purposes (and not for speculative purposes) as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company;

Company that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee shall be subordinated or
pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed; 
 (9) Indebtedness incurred by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued or incurred in the ordinary course of business, including without limitation letters of credit or bank guarantees in
respect of workers’ compensation claims or self-insurance, or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims or self-insurance; provided, however, that either upon the
drawing of such letters of credit or bank guarantees or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing or incurrence or self-insurance; 

(10) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’
compensation claims, health and other types of social security benefits, unemployment and other self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, performance, surety and bid bonds, cash management obligations and netting, overdraft protection

 (11) the

 (12) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries providing for indemnification, guarantees, adjustment of purchase price, earn-outs or similar obligations, in each case, incurred in connection
with the acquisition or disposition of any Restricted Subsidiary, business, property or asset; 

  
 -47- 








 (13) the incurrence by Foreign Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (13), not to exceed the greater of (x)
$50.0 million (or the equivalent thereof, measured at the time of each incurrence, in applicable foreign currency) and (y) an amount equal to the Foreign Borrowing Base as of the date of such occurrence; 

(14) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness to the extent the net proceeds thereof
are promptly deposited in trust to defease the Notes or to satisfy and discharge this Indenture, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 

(15) Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor incurred to finance an acquisition, merger, consolidation or amalgamation,
including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (15); provided that on the date of such acquisition, merger, consolidation
or amalgamation after giving pro forma effect thereto as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, the Company would either (A) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) or (B) have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition, merger,
consolidation or amalgamation; 
 (16) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries owed on a
short-term basis of not longer than 30 days to banks and other financial institutions incurred in the ordinary course of business with such banks or financial institutions in connection with ordinary banking arrangements to manage cash balances of
the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (17) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness
represented by the Notes (not including any Additional Notes) issued on the Issue Date and the related Notes Guarantees; and

preferred stock in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness
incurred pursuant to this clause (18), not to exceed $100.0 million. 
 The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor
to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment
to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by
virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (18) above, or is entitled to
be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or any portion of such item of
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indebtedness under Credit Facilities that is outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and
authenticated under this Indenture will at all times be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of
original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of
dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09;
provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges 

  
 -48- 








 
of the Company as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to
this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. 

Section 4.10. Asset Sales. 

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 of the assets or Equity 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 is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(A) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s 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 and for which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary has
been released in writing; 
 (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted
Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of the receipt thereof, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; 

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or 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 (C) that is at that time outstanding,
not to exceed $150.0 million 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; and 
 (D) any
stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.10. 
 Within
365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds: 

(1) to prepay, repay or purchase (x) Indebtedness and other Obligations under the Credit Agreement or (y) any other
Indebtedness that is secured; provided that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (1), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related
commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased; 

(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business,
if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 

(3) to make a capital expenditure or purchase construction or industrial equipment; 

(4) to acquire or license other assets (other than Capital Stock) and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; 

(5) to acquire Replacement Assets; or 

  
 -49- 








 (6) to repay Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor,
other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary. 
 Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the
Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as described above will constitute “Excess
Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, within 30 days thereof, unless waived or modified with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers
to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets in accordance with Section 3.09 hereof to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds.
The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale
Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount
of Excess Proceeds, the Company will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 hereof or
this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance. 
 Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the
Company (each an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 
 (1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that,
when taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person;
and 
 (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee: 

(A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $25.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 4.11(a) and that such
Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company; and 

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $50.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

 (b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not
be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof: 
 (1) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan,
indemnification agreement or arrangement for directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants, stock option, stock repurchase agreement, consulting agreement, severance agreement, insurance plan or any similar agreement, plan or arrangement,
in each case entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto; 

(2) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company
solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person; 

(4) payment of reasonable directors’ fees; provided that the aggregate fees paid or payable in any calendar year to
any director who is an Affiliate of the Company in a capacity other than as a director of the Company shall not be greater than the aggregate fees paid or payable in such year to any other director who is not otherwise an Affiliate of the Company;

 (5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to Affiliates, directors, officers or
employees of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries or to holders of Equity Interests in the Company; 
 (6) Restricted
Payments and Permitted Investments that do not violate Section 4.07 hereof; 
 (7) loans and advances paid to officers,
directors or employees of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; 

(8) transactions entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to a contract, agreement, loan, advance or guaranty with, or
for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company entered into during the Suspension Period, or as the same may be amended, modified or replaced from time to time so long as any such amendment, modification or replacement is not materially less
favorable to the Company or the Holders of Notes than the applicable contract, agreement, loan, advance or guaranty entered into during the Suspension Period; 

(9) transactions with Affiliates that are customers, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of
goods or services, in each case which are in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, and which are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, in the reasonable
determination of the Board of Directors, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, or are on terms that, taken as a whole, are materially not less favorable to the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained, at the time of such transaction or, if such transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate; 
 (10) transactions
permitted under Section 5.01 hereof; 
 (11) transactions between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and
any Person that is an Affiliate of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries solely because a director of such Person is also a director of the Company; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director on any
matter involving such other Person; and 
 (12) transactions with any Person solely in its capacity as a holder of
Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries if such transaction provides for equal treatment of such Person and all other holders, in their capacity as holders, of the same series of such Indebtedness or of the
same class of such Capital Stock.

 Section 4.12. Liens. 

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist or become effective any Lien of any kind upon any of their property or assets securing Indebtedness, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the
obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien. Any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide that such Lien shall be automatically and
unconditionally released upon the release of the other Lien referred to in the preceding sentence. The foregoing shall not apply to: 

(1) Liens to secure Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09; provided that, in the case of this
clause (1), at the time of incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the Secured Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 3.25 to 1.00; and 

(2) Permitted Liens. 

Section 4.13. Business Activities. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than the Permitted Business,
except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 Section 4.14.
Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Article V hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect: 
 (1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of
its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; and 

(2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 4.15. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each
Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will send a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of
Control and stating: 
 (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all
Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn will be accepted for payment; 
 (2) the purchase price and the Change of Control
Payment Date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent; 
 (3) that
any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

  
 -52- 








 (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control
Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the
Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if
the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered
for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and 
 (7) that
Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral
multiple of $1,000 thereof. 
 The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of
any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.09 or 4.15 hereof, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under
Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance. 
 (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company
will, to the extent lawful: 
 (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change
of Control Offer; 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all
Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly
accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee
will promptly authenticate and deliver (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 new note will be in a
principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any notes so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date. The Company will publicly announce the results of the
Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 4.15, the Company may make a Change of Control Offer prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, and conditioned on the occurrence of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for such Change
of Control at the time the Company makes such Change of Control Offer. In such case, the notice described in Section 4.15(a) shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to
the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Company will not be
required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of 

  
 -53- 








 
Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.15 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under
the Change of Control Offer, (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, or (3) the requirements set forth in this
Section 4.15 are waived or modified with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding. 

Section 4.16. 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; provided
that the Company or any Guarantor may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if: 
 (1) the Company or that
Guarantor, as applicable, could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof and
(b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof; 
 (2) the gross
cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the property that is the subject of that sale and leaseback transaction; and 

(3) the transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of such
transaction in compliance with, Section 4.10 hereof. 
 Section 4.17. Payments 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 and is paid 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 agreement. 

Section 4.18. Additional Note Guarantees. 

The Company shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary that guarantees borrowings of the Company under any Credit Facility to become a Guarantor
and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel within 30 days of the date on which it became a guarantor of borrowings of the Company under any Credit Facility. The form of such supplemental indenture is attached as Exhibit E
hereto. 
 Section 4.19. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that: 

(a) such designation would not cause a Default or Event of Default; 

(b) the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary
designated as unrestricted will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or under one or more clauses of the definition of
Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company; provided, further, that such designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time; and 

(c) such designation otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a
certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. If,
at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet 

  
 -54- 








 
the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be
deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the Company will be in Default of such covenant. The Board of
Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary by delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate setting forth such designation; provided that such designation will be
deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will only be permitted if: (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under
Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. 

Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as a Restricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a
certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the Indenture. 

Section 4.20. Covenant Suspension. 

If, on any date, (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is
continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”) then, beginning on that day and continuing at
all times thereafter until the Reversion Date (as defined below), the restrictions described in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 5.01(4) shall no longer be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended
Covenants”). 
 In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under
this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned
to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period of time between the Covenant
Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.” 
 On
each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock issued, during the preceding Suspension Period will be classified as having been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(2). Calculations made after
the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments in Section 4.07 will be made as though the covenant described in Section 4.07 had been in effect prior to, and during, the Suspension Period. As described above,
no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period. On and after each Reversion Date, the Company and its
Subsidiaries shall be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any contract entered into during the Suspension Period so long as such contract and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period. 

For purposes of Section 4.08, on the Reversion Date, any consensual encumbrances or restrictions of the type specified in
Section 4.08(a)(1), (2) or (3) entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect on the date of this Indenture, so that they are permitted under Section 4.08(b)(1). 

For purposes of Section 4.10, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero. 

During a Suspension Period, the Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

The Company shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee notifying the Trustee of the commencement of any Suspension Period or
the occurrence of any Reversion Date promptly after such commencement or occurrence, as the case may be, and the Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor or determine whether a Suspension Period or a Reversion Date has occurred or exists.

 Section 4.21. Escrow of Proceeds. 

Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes on the Issue Date, the Company shall enter into an escrow agreement (as amended, supplemented or
modified from time to time, the “Escrow Agreement”) with the Trustee and U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent (in such capacity, together with its successors, the “Escrow Agent”). Pursuant
to the Escrow Agreement, the Initial Purchasers of the Notes shall deliver and deposit into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with the Escrow Agent an amount in cash that is equal to the net proceeds from the sale of
the Notes, and (ii) the Company shall deliver and deposit (or cause to be delivered and deposited) into the Escrow Account with the Escrow Agent an amount in cash that, when taken together with the amount deposited pursuant to the foregoing
clause (i), is equal to 101.0% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus interest that will accrue on the Notes to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, assuming for purposes of the interest calculation in this clause
(ii) that the Company notifies the Escrow Agent on the Outside Date that the SSNI Acquisition will not be consummated. The amount of cash in the Escrow Account, together with any other property from time to time held by the Escrow Agent in the
Escrow Account, is collectively referred to as the “Escrow Proceeds”. In the event the parties to the Acquisition Agreement agree to extend the Termination Date (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement to a date that is later than the Outside Date and unless the Company has directed the Escrow Agent to release the Escrow Proceeds in accordance with Section 4(a) of the Escrow Agreement or delivers
notice to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 4(b) of the Escrow Agreement, on the date such parties agree to such extension of the Termination Date (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) the Company shall deposit (or cause to be
deposited) into the Escrow Account an amount of cash equal to the amount of interest that would accrue on the Notes from the first Business Day following the Outside Date to, but not including, the first Business Day following the Extended Outside
Date, as calculated by the Company in accordance with the Indenture. 
 Prior to the consummation of the SSNI Acquisition, periodic interest
payments due under this Indenture shall be paid from the Escrow Proceeds. Amounts not paid as periodic interest shall be held in the Escrow Account until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company delivers to the Escrow Agent the
Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Escrow Agreement and (ii) the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. The Company shall grant the Trustee, for its benefit and the benefit of the Holders, subject to certain liens of
the Escrow Agent, a first-priority security interest in the Escrow Account and all deposits and investment property therein to secure the payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Amount; provided, however, that such lien and security interest
shall automatically be released and terminate at such time as the Escrow Proceeds are released from escrow on the Escrow Release Date. Prior to the Escrow Release Date, the Notes shall be secured only by a pledge of the Escrow Account and the Escrow
Proceeds.

 Section 5.01.
Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. 
 The Company shall not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into

a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless: 
 (1) either: (a) the Company is the surviving
corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made (the “Surviving
Entity”) is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; 

(2) the Surviving Entity expressly assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes, this Indenture and Escrow
Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture or one or more agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and (solely with respect to the Escrow Agreement) the Escrow Agent; 

  
 -56- 








 (3) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing; and 
 (4) the Company or the Surviving Entity would, on the date of such transaction after
giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, either (A) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to
the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof or (B) have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to such merger, sale, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition; and 
 (5) the Company or the Surviving Entity has delivered to the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition and such supplemental indenture, if any, comply with the Indenture; the Trustee
will accept such certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this covenant, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders. 

In addition, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person. 
 This Section 5.01 will not apply
to: 
 (1) a merger of the Company with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another
jurisdiction; or 
 (2) any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other
disposition of assets between or among the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 5.02. Successor Corporation
Substituted. 
 Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company
is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease,
conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture
with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the
case of a sale of all of the Company’s assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof. 

ARTICLE VI 
 DEFAULTS AND
REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01. Events of Default. 

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

(1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; 

(2) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on,
the Notes; 
 (3) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of

 -57- 








 (4) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with
the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof; 
 (5) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days
after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements in this Indenture; 

(6) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or
evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if that default: 

(A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness at final maturity
thereof, the principal amount of which exceeds $10.0 million in the aggregate, prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or 

(B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which
there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $50.0 million or more (or its foreign currency equivalent);

tribunal or assembly that ignores recognized standards of law or justice (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company) shall not give rise to an Event of Default so long as it could not be reasonably
likely to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of the
Company to service the Notes; 
 (8) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial
proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee; 

(9) the failure by the Company to pay or cause to be paid the Special Mandatory Redemption on the Special Mandatory Redemption
Date, if any, as described in Section 3.10 hereof; 
 (10) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a

Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in a proceeding in which the Company, any such Restricted Subsidiary
that is a Significant Subsidiary or any such group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, is to be
adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; 
 (B) appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
official of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company),
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the
date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or 

(C) orders the liquidation of the Company, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect
for 60 consecutive days. 
 Section 6.02. Acceleration. 

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (10) or (11) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company, any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable
immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately. If an Event of Default arises pursuant to clause (6) of Section 6.01 hereof, such Event of Default shall cease to exist if, at any time prior to the acceleration of the Notes, (x) the Company cures the underlying
Payment Default or the holders of the applicable Indebtedness waive the underlying Payment Default or rescind the acceleration of such Indebtedness, in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indebtedness and (y) the cure,
waiver or rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 Upon any such declaration, the
Notes shall become due and payable immediately. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default (except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or
the principal of, the Notes) and its consequences under this Indenture, if: 
 (1) such rescission or waiver would not
conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; 
 (2) all existing Events of Default, except
nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived; 

  
 -59- 








 (3) all interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which
has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful; and 

(4) the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses
(including the fees and expenses of its counsel), disbursements and advances. 
 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 and 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 of a Note 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. 

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in
connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that
resulted from such acceleration. 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. 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines in its sole
discretion may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: 

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

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee
to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the
request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security and/or indemnity; and 
 (5) Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 

  
 -60- 








 A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note
or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes To Receive
Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the 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) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and 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, its agents and counsel. 

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial

reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. 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 7.07 hereof 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 6.10. Priorities.

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all
compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

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

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

 Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. 

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

Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 

  
 -63-

The Trustee will notify the Company in writing promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to
so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and
the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(8) or (9) hereof 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.

acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

 ARTICLE VIII 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01. Option To Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate
delivered to the Trustee, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII. 

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the
Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness
represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses
(1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if
any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 
 (2) the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article II and Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (3) the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 

(4) this Article VIII. 

  
 -66- 








 Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 Section 8.03. Covenant
Defeasance. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the
Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12,
4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.19 hereof and clause (4) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will 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 will not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise
under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(6) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

 Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof: 

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable
redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the
applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on
the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of
funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;


  
 -67- 








 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 

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

(7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

Section 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities To Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

(a) Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including
the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will 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 (other than the Company) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes
of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, 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 non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), 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
Company. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company)
will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to 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, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the direction and expense of the Company cause to be published once,
in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement.

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government
Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, 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 and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as


  
 -68- 








 
the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee
or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE IX 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee and (solely with respect to the Escrow
Agreement) the Escrow Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Escrow Agreement, the Notes or the Note Guarantees without the consent of any Holder of Notes: 

(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; 

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes and Note
Guarantees by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to Article V or Article X hereof; 
 (4) to make any
change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes (including the addition of collateral to secure the Notes and/or additional guarantees) or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any such
Holder; 
 (5) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Escrow Agreement, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision
of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision of the Indenture, the Escrow Agreement, the Note Guarantees or the Notes was intended to conform to the text of the “Description of
Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate; 
 (6) to provide for the
issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the date hereof; 
 (7) to
allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes; or 
 (8) to
evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements of this Indenture. 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own
rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee and (solely with respect to the Escrow Agreement) the Escrow
Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof), the Escrow Agreement or the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, 

  
 -69- 








 
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default
(other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this
Indenture, the Escrow Agreement or the Notes and the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any)
voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be
“outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board
of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee
of the documents described in Section 7.02(b) hereof, the Trustee will join with the 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 will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or
waiver under this Section 9.02 or under Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to
deliver such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each
Holder of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or change the date on which any Note may be subject to
redemption or reduce the redemption price thereof as described in Section 3.07 (except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof); 

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; 

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes (except a
rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 

(6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes
to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes; 
 (7) amend, change or modify the
obligation of the Company to make and consummate an Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Asset Sale in accordance with Section 3.09 hereof after the obligation to make such Asset Sale Offer has arisen, or the obligation of the Company to make
and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with Section 4.15 after such Change of Control has occurred, including, in each case, amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto;


  
 -70- 








 (8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or
this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (9) make any material change in the provisions of
Sections 3.10 or 4.21; 
 (10) make any material change in the provisions of the Escrow Agreement that would adversely affect
the Holders; or 
 (11) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions. 

Section 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

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 amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms
and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in
exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 Section 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture,
the Trustee will be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating
that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE X 

NOTE GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01. Guarantee. 

(a) Subject to this Article X, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: 

(1) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in
full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 

  
 -71- 








 (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of
such other obligations, that same will 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. 

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and
severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are 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 of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, 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. Subject to Section 6.06, 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 covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c) 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 either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note
Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will 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 VI hereof 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 VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due
and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will 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 Guarantee. 
 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 transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent
applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that 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 X, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. 

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a supplemental indenture shall be
executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in
Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. 

  
 -72- 








 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. 

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set
forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or
acquires any Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.18 hereof, the Company will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.18 hereof and this Article X, to the extent
applicable. 
 Section 10.04. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets
to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless: 

(1) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and 

(2) either: 

(a) subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person
formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture and its Note Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture; or 

(b) such sale or other disposition is permitted under this Indenture and the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are
applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof. 
 The foregoing
requirements of this paragraph shall not apply to a reincorporation of a Guarantor if, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Guarantor, whose determination shall be evidenced by a board resolution delivered to the Trustee,
the principal purpose of such transaction is to change the state of incorporation of such Guarantor and any such transaction shall not have as one of its purposes the evasion of the foregoing limitations. 

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture
executed and delivered to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted
for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter
issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 

Except as set forth in Articles IV and V hereof, and notwithstanding clauses 2(a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or
in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company or another Guarantor. 
 Section 10.05. Releases. 

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be released upon: 

(1) (a) any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation)
to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such sale or other disposition does not violate Section 3.09 hereof or
Section 4.10 hereof; 

  
 -73- 








 (b) any sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, after
which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such sale or other disposition does
not violate Section 3.09 hereof or Section 4.10 hereof; 
 (c) the designation of such Restricted Subsidiary that
is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (including Section 4.19 hereof); or 

(d) Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article VIII hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with
Article XI hereof; and 
 (2) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. Upon request, the Trustee shall execute an instrument evidencing the release of such Guarantor (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee). 
 Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided
in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article X. 

ARTICLE XI 
 SATISFACTION
AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when: 

(1) either: 

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

(b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the
delivery of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of
the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as
will be sufficient (in the case that non-callable Government Securities have been deposited, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public
accountants), without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity
or redemption; 
 (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur
as a result of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, any other instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; 

  
 -74- 








 (3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable
by it under this Indenture; and 
 (4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture
to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the
Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause
(b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by
their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 11.02. Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held
in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of
any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the
Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 [Back of Note] 

5.000% Senior Notes due 2026 

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise
indicated. 
 (1) Interest. Itron, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay
interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.000% per annum from December 22, 20178, until maturity. The Company will pay interest, if any, semiannually in arrears on January 15
and July 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be July 15,
20189. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then
applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the
same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

(2) Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons
who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the
Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire
transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the
Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

(3) Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

(4) Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of December 22, 2017 (the
“Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors from time to time party thereto and the Trustee. The Notes are subject to all the terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of
such terms and provisions. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company (other
than with respect to a security interest in the Escrow Account and the Escrow Proceeds prior to the Escrow Release). The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. 

 
  

	8 	With respect to Notes issued on the Issue Date.

 (5) Optional Redemption. 

(a) Except as set forth in subparagraphs (b) and (d) of this Paragraph 5, the Notes will not be redeemable at the
Company’s option prior to January 15, 2021. On or after January 15, 2021, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages
of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on January 15 of the years indicated below, subject to
the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date: 
  

					
	Year	  	Percentage	 
	 2021
	  	 	102.500	% 
	 2022
	  	 	101.250	% 
	 2023 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to
accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on and after the applicable redemption date. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to January 15, 2021, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the
Indenture at a redemption price of 105.000% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings of the Company; provided that (1) at least
65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption, and (2) the redemption
occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 
 (c) Any redemption or notice of any redemption
with the proceeds of an Equity Offering pursuant to the prior paragraph may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of such Equity Offering and may be given prior
to the completion thereof. 
 (d) At any time prior to January 15, 2021, the Company may redeem all or a part of the
notes upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the
redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 

(6) Mandatory Redemption and Special Mandatory Redemption. 

(a) Except as set forth in Section 6(b) hereof, the Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund
payments with respect to the Notes. 
 (b) If (i) the Escrow Agent has not received the Officer’s Certificate
described in Section 4(a) of the Escrow Agreement on or prior to the Outside Date or the Extended Outside Date, as applicable, or (ii) the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that the SSNI Acquisition will not be consummated or
otherwise announces that the Acquisition Agreement has been terminated, then the Escrow Agent shall, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, release the Escrow Proceeds (including investment earnings thereon and proceeds thereof) to the Trustee on
the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. In no event will the Special Mandatory Redemption Date be later than September 30, 2018. On the Special Mandatory Redemption Date or as otherwise required by the applicable procedures of DTC, the Company
shall redeem all of the Notes at the Special Mandatory Redemption Amount, which is equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, subject to the
rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date 

  
 A-5 








 
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee and DTC, no later than the
date that is one Business Day prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, a redemption notice setting forth the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. On the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Trustee shall pay to the Company any Escrow Proceeds
in excess of the amount necessary to effect the Special Mandatory Redemption. 
 (7) Repurchase at the Option of
Holder. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make an offer (a “Change of Control
Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the
“Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will send a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture. 

(b) If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company consummates any Asset Sales, within thirty days of each date on
which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, unless waived or modified with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the Company will commence an
offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of
assets (an “Asset Sale Offer”) in accordance with Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds.
The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. If
any Excess Proceeds remain after the consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the
subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase”
attached to the Notes. 
 (8) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be sent at least 30 days but not more
than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a
defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 thereof, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.

 (9) Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 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 the Company may require a Holder 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,
except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record
date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 

  
 A-6 








 (10) Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated
as its owner for all purposes. 
 (11) Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture,
the Escrow Agreement or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional
Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and any existing Default or Event or Default (other than a Default or
Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Escrow Agreement
or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Escrow Agreement or the Notes or the Note
Guarantees may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s
obligations to Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to Article V or Article X of the Indenture; to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of
the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder; to conform the text of the Indenture, the Escrow Agreement, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of
Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum dated December 5, 2017, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision of the Indenture, the Escrow Agreement, the Note Guarantees or the Notes was
intended to conform to the text of the “Description of Notes” as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate; to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture; to allow any
Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes; or to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements
of the Indenture. 
 (12) Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in the
payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes; (iii) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 of the Indenture; (v) failure by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of
the other agreements in the Indenture; (vi) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is
created after the date of the Indenture, if that default: (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness at final maturity thereof, the principal amount of which exceeds $10.0 million
in the aggregate, prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express
maturity; and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates
$50.0 million or more (or its foreign currency equivalent); (vii) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of
$50.0 million (or its foreign currency equivalent), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; notwithstanding the foregoing, a judgment rendered by a tribunal or assembly that ignores recognized
standards of law or justice (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company) shall not give rise to an Event of Default so 

  
 A-7 








 
long as it could not be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of the Company to services the Notes; (viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary is held in any judicial
proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee; (ix) the failure
by the Company to pay or cause to be paid the Special Mandatory Redemption on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, if any, as described in Section 3.10 of the Indenture; and (x) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the
Indenture with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary. If any Event of Default occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default
arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject
to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust
or power conferred on it. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice of Default or Event of Default if and so long as a committee of
its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. If certain conditions are satisfied, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Indenture requires the Company to deliver to the Trustee annually within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year a statement regarding compliance with
the Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Company is required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 

(13) Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee or its affiliates, in its individual or any other capacity, may make
loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

(14) No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any of the
Guarantors, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. 

(15) Authentication. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an
authenticating agent. 
 (16) Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an
assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 

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

U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H

 WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of
December 22, 2017 providing for the issuance of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, the Indenture
provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s
Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note Guarantee”); and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,
the Company, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows: 

1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

2. Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby becomes a party to the Indenture as a Guarantor and as such shall have
all of the rights and be subject to all of the obligations and agreements of a Guarantor under the Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees, on a joint and several basis with all the existing Guarantors, to provide an unconditional
Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Note Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article X thereof. 

3. Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indentures Part of Indenture. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture is in all
respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes heretofore or
hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.

Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy. 

5. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 

6. Severability Clause. In case any provision in this Supplemental Indenture 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 and such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability.

 7. Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture.
Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. 
 8. Effect of Headings. The Section
headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 9. The Trustee. The Trustee shall not be
responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the
Company. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the
