W I T N E S S E T H 

WHEREAS, the Issuer has duly authorized the creation and issuance of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.250% Senior Notes due
2022 (the “Initial Notes”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors have duly authorized the execution
and delivery of this Indenture; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee agree as follows for the benefit of each other
and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes. 
 ARTICLE 1 

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 

Section 1.01. Definitions. 

“Acquired Indebtedness” means, with respect to any specified Person, (1) Indebtedness of any other Person or any of its
Subsidiaries existing at the time such other Person is merged with or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of such specified Person or (2) assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such other Person, in each case whether or not
Incurred by such Person in connection with, or in anticipation or contemplation of, such other Person being merged with or becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of such specified Person or such acquisition, and Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering
any asset acquired by such specified Person, but excluding Indebtedness extinguished, retired or repaid in connection with such Person merging with or becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of such specified Person. 

Acquired Indebtedness will be deemed to have been Incurred, with respect to clause (1) of the preceding sentence, on the date such Person
becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and, with respect to clause (2) of the preceding sentence, on the date of consummation of such acquisition of assets. 

“Additional Assets” means: 

(1) any property, plant, equipment or other asset (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding working capital or current assets but including store
locations (including leases with respect thereto)), and improvements and additions thereto, and other capital expenditures with respect thereto, to be used by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in a Similar Business; 

(2) the Capital Stock of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by the Issuer or a
Restricted Subsidiary; or 
 (3) Capital Stock constituting a minority interest in any Person that at such time is a Restricted Subsidiary;







 provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (2) and (3), such Restricted Subsidiary is
primarily engaged in a Similar Business. 
 “Additional Interest” means the additional interest payable as a
consequence of the failure to effectuate, within the prescribed time periods, the exchange offer and/or shelf registration procedures set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. 

“Additional Notes” means additional Notes (other than the Initial Notes and Exchange Notes for such Initial Notes) issued
from time to time under this Indenture in accordance with Sections 2.01 and 4.09. 
 “Affiliate” of any specified
Person means any other Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative
meanings, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) when used with respect to any Person means possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the
management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to
the foregoing; provided that exclusively for purposes of Section 4.10 and Section 4.11, beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Voting Stock of a Person will be deemed to be control. 

“Agent” means any Registrar or Paying Agent. 

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Note on any date of redemption, the greater of: 

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

(2) the excess, if any, of (a) the present value as of such date of redemption of (i) the redemption price of such Note on
July 15, 2017 (such redemption price being set forth in the table in Section 3.07(d) plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such Note through July 15, 2017 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption),
computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such date of redemption plus 50 basis points, over (b) the then-outstanding principal of such Note. 

“Asset Disposition” means any sale, lease (other than an operating lease entered into in the ordinary course of
business), transfer, issuance or other disposition (other than an operating lease entered into in the ordinary course of business) of (1) shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than shares required by applicable law to be
owned by another Person, including directors’ qualifying shares), (2) property or (3) other assets (each referred to for the purposes of this definition as a “disposition”) by the Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, including any disposition by means of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, “Asset Disposition” does not mean the issuance or sale by the Issuer of Capital Stock, debt security or any
other security of the Issuer. 

  
 2

clauses (1), (2) or (3) above if made by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if
such transaction occurred on the first day of such period. 
 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to
be given to any calculation under this definition, the pro forma calculations will be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer (including pro forma


  
 8 







 
expense and cost reductions calculated on a basis consistent with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act). If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro
forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to
such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect bears an interest rate at the option of the Issuer, the interest rate will be calculated

disposition of an asset of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries that is disposed of other than in the ordinary course of business); 

(2) decreased (without duplication) by 

(a) non-cash items increasing Consolidated Net Income of such Person for such period other than the accrual of revenue in the

disposition of an asset of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries that is disposed of other than in the ordinary course of business); and

interest income or expense attributable to the movement in the mark to market valuation of Hedging Obligations or other derivative instruments pursuant to GAAP will be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense;

 Section 1.04. Incorporation by
Reference of Trust Indenture Act. 
 Whenever this Indenture refers to a provision of the Trust Indenture Act as applicable to this
Indenture, the provision is incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Indenture.

Section 1.05. Acts of Holders. 

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing (or, with respect to Global Notes, in accordance with the applicable
procedures of the Depositary). Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action will become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Issuer and the Guarantors. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or the holding by any Person of a Note, will be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in
favor of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantors, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.05. 
 (b) The fact and date of the

certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof or (2) in any other manner deemed reasonably sufficient by the Trustee. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity
other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit will also constitute proof of the authority of the Person executing the same. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 (c) The ownership of Notes will be proved by the Note
Register. 
 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note will bind
every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee, the Issuer or the
Guarantors in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 

  
 36 







 (e) The Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled
to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, or to vote on any action authorized or permitted to be taken by Holders; provided that the
Issuer may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph will not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in clause (f) below. Unless otherwise specified, if not set
by the Issuer prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, any such record date will be the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of
such consent or vote or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation or vote. If any record date is set pursuant to this clause (e), the Holders on such record date, and only such Holders, will be
entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action (including revocation of any action), whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no
such action will be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes, or each affected Holder, as applicable, on such record date. Promptly after any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer, at its own expense, will cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder in the
manner set forth in Section 12.02. 
 (f) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled
to join in the giving or making of (1) any notice of default under Section 6.01(a), (2) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 6.02, (3) any direction referred to in Section 6.05 or (4) any request to pursue a
remedy referred to in Section 6.06(2). If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders on such record date, and no other Holders, will be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such
Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action will be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes or each
affected Holder, as applicable, on such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Issuer’s expense, will cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the
applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Issuer and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.02. 
 (g) Without limiting
the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant
to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph will have the same effect as
if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part. 

  
 37 







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

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

(j) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.05, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as
the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change will be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other
party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 12.02, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.05,
the party hereto which set such record date will be deemed to have initially designated the 90th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this clause
(j). 
 ARTICLE 2 

THE NOTES 

Section 2.01. Form and Dating; Terms. 

(a) Provisions relating to the Initial Notes, Additional Notes, Exchange Notes and any other Notes issued are set forth in Appendix A hereto,
which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly
made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules or agreements with national securities exchanges to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any
such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes will be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

(b) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited, subject to the
restrictions in Section 4.09. 

  
 38 







 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a
part of this Indenture and the Issuer, 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 will govern and be controlling. 
 Additional
Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Issuer without notice to or consent of the Holders and will be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and will have
the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise (other than issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first interest payment date and the initial interest accrual date) as the Initial Notes; provided that the Issuer’s ability
to issue Additional Notes will be subject to the Issuer’s compliance with Section 4.09; provided, further, that if any such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional
Notes will be issued as a separate series under this Indenture and will have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN from the Notes. 

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. 

(a) At least one Officer will execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile or other electronically transmitted signature.
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. 

(b) A Note will not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 

(c) On the Issue Date, the Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer (an “Authentication
Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time and from time to time, the Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes and Exchange Notes in an aggregate
principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes or Exchange Notes issued hereunder. 
 (d) The Trustee may
appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer 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 an Affiliate of the Issuer. 

  
 39 







 Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

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

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

Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Issuer will, no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on each due date for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and
interest on, any of the Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the Holders entitled to the same, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act. The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent
for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer 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 Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, a Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability
for the money. If the Issuer 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 Issuer, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 Section 2.05. Holder Lists. 

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders and will otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the 

  
 40 







 
Registrar, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form
and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, and the Issuer will otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). 

Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. 

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

(c) No service charge will be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any
registration of transfer or exchange (other than pursuant to Section 2.07), but the Holders will be required to pay any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.05). 
 (d) All Global Notes
and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (e) Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar
will be required (1) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close
of business on the day of selection, (2) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (3) to register the transfer
of or to exchange any Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (f) Prior to due presentment for the
registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, or premium, if
any, and (subject to the Record Date provisions of the Notes) interest on, such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer will be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(g) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.02,
the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 

  
 41 







 (h) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized
denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer will execute, and the
Trustee will authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02. 

(i) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to
effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by facsimile or electronic transmission. 
 Section 2.07.
Replacement Notes. 
 If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer or if a Holder claims that its Note has been
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate
a replacement Note if the Issuer’s and the Trustee’s requirements are otherwise met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the
Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Issuer and the Trustee in replacing a Note.
If, after the delivery of such replacement Note, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment or registration such original Note, the Trustee will be entitled to recover such
replacement Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and will be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or
expense incurred by the Issuer, the Trustee and any Agent in connection therewith. Subject to the preceding sentence, every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture
equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07 in case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable,
the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
 Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. 

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

  
 42 







 (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a “protected purchaser,” as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York. 

(c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue
from and after the date of such payment. 
 (d) If a Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof)
holds, on the maturity date, any redemption date or any date of purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date, then on and after that date such Notes 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 requisite principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned
by the Issuer, or by any Affiliate of the Issuer, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will 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. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith will not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to
deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor. 

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. 

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

The Issuer 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 or, at the direction of the 

  
 43 







 
Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of
cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposal of all cancelled Notes will, upon the written request of the Issuer, be delivered to the
Issuer. The Issuer 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. 

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

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

Section 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

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

  
 44 







 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION 

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee. 

If the Issuer elects to redeem less than all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, it will furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business
Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice period is agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (1) the paragraph or
subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption will occur, (2) the redemption date, (3) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (4) the redemption price, if then ascertainable.

 Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 

(a) If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.07, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed (1) if
the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed or (2) if the Notes are not so listed, by lottery or in accordance with
DTC’s applicable procedures, which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount on the Notes. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected, unless otherwise
provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the then outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 

(b) If the Notes are in certificated form, the Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in
the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of $2,000 or less will
be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be redeemed. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. 

(c) After the redemption date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed in part only, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate book entries will be made to reflect
such partial redemption). 
 Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 

(a) The Issuer will mail, or otherwise cause to be delivered in accordance with the applicable DTC procedures at least 30 days but not more
than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Article 

  
 45 







 
at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption
date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance pursuant to Article 8 or a satisfaction and discharge pursuant to Article 11. 

(b) The notice will identify the Notes (including the CUSIP/ISIN number) to be redeemed and will state: 

(1) the redemption date; 

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

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

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

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

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

(7) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for
redemption are being redeemed; 
 (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN
number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 
 (9) if applicable, any condition to such redemption.

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

  
 46 







 Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the
redemption date at the redemption price, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to such redemption. The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, will be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such
notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to
Section 3.05, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption. 

(a) No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the redemption of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or
prior to the redemption. The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed the applicable redemption thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer
any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 

(b) If the Issuer complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), then on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the
Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date will be paid on the relevant
Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date and no Additional Interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes are subject to redemption by the Issuer. If any Note called for
redemption are not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with Section 3.05(a), interest will be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful
on any interest accrued to the redemption date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. 

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail to the Holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered representing the same Indebtedness to the
extent not redeemed; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this indenture to the contrary, only an
Authentication Order and an Officers’ Certificate will be required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. 

  
 47 







 Section 3.07. Optional Redemption. 

(a) At any time prior to July 15, 2017, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or, from time to time, in part, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record at the close of business on the
relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such redemption date. Promptly after the determination thereof, the Issuer will give the Trustee notice of the redemption price provided for in this
Section 3.07(a), and the Trustee will not be responsible for such calculation. 
 (b) In addition, prior to July 15, 2017, the Issuer
may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) at a redemption price equal to 107.250% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling
on or prior to such redemption date, in an amount not to exceed the Net Cash Proceeds (less the amount of such proceeds used to repurchase or repay other debt or securities (other than a temporary reduction in revolving credit borrowings) or to
acquire securities of any Person or acquire any business) of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that (1) at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of
Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (unless all of such Notes are redeemed); and (2) such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of any such Equity Offering. 

(c) Except pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (e) of this Section 3.07, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to
July 15, 2017. 
 (d) On and after July 15, 2017, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or, from time to time, in part, upon
notice pursuant to Section 3.03 at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption date, subject to
the right of Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on July 15 of
the years indicated below: 
  

					
	 Year

	 2017
	  	 	105.438	% 
	 2018
	  	 	103.625	% 
	 2019
	  	 	101.813	% 
	 2020 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	%

 (e) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer pursuant to Section 4.14 and the Issuer, or any other Person making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all
of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment or Alternate Offer price, as applicable, plus, to the extent not
included in the Change of Control Payment or Alternate Offer price, as applicable, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an
interest payment date falling on or prior to such redemption date). 
 (f) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 will be made
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06. 
 (g) Any redemption or notice in connection with this Section 3.07 may, at the
Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate transaction. 

(h) The Issuer or its Affiliates may acquire Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases,
negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws. 
 Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption. 

The Issuer will not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

Section 3.09. Offers to Repurchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. 

(a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10, the Issuer is required to commence an Asset Disposition Offer, the Issuer will follow the
procedures specified below. 
 (b) The Asset Disposition Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement,
except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Asset Disposition Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “Asset
Disposition Purchase Date”), the Issuer will apply all Excess Proceeds to the purchase of the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) required to be
purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”), or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes (and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness) has been so validly tendered, all Notes and Pari
Passu Indebtedness validly tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer. 

  
 49 







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

(d) Upon the commencement of an Asset Disposition Offer, the Issuer will mail a notice (or, in the case of Global Notes, otherwise communicate
in accordance with the procedures of DTC) to 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 Disposition Offer. The Asset
Disposition Offer will be made to all Holders and, if required, all holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Disposition Offer, will state: 

(1) that the Asset Disposition Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 and the length of time the
Asset Disposition Offer will remain open; 
 (2) the Asset Disposition Offer Amount, the purchase price, including the
portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest, and the Asset Disposition Purchase Date; 
 (3) that any Note
not properly tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; 
 (4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in
making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Asset Disposition Purchase Date; 

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in
denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof only; 
 (6) that Holders electing to have a Note
purchased pursuant to any Asset Disposition Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, the
Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Asset Disposition Purchase Date; 

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may
be, receives at the address specified in the notice, not later than the expiration of the Asset Disposition Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder tendered
for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Note purchased; 

  
 50 







 (8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness
surrendered by the holders thereof exceeds the Asset Disposition Offer Amount, then the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate accreted value or principal amount, as applicable, of the
Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered and the selection of the Notes for purchase will be made by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee in its sole discretion will deem to be fair and appropriate, although no Note having a principal
amount of $2,000 will be purchased in part; 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) representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not repurchased. 

(e) On or before the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the
extent necessary, the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer, or if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has
been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so tendered, in the case of the Notes, in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that if, following repurchase of
a portion of a Note, the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase would be less than $2,000, then the portion of such Note so repurchased will be reduced so that the remaining principal amount of such
Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase is $2,000. The Issuer will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee the Notes so accepted and an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions
thereof so accepted and that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. 

(f) The Paying Agent or the Issuer, as the case may be, will promptly, but in no event later than five Business Days after termination of the
Asset Disposition Offer Period, mail or deliver to each tendering Holder or holder or lender of Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and
not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case may be, and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate and mail or
deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) such new Note to such Holder (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel is required for the Trustee to authenticate and mail or
deliver such new Note) in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note not so
accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Asset Disposition Offer on or promptly following the Asset Disposition Purchase Date. 

  
 51 







 (g) The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of
this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue thereof. 

ARTICLE 4 

COVENANTS 

Section 4.01. Payment of Notes. 

(a) The Issuer will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner
provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than one of the Issuer or a Subsidiary, holds as of noon, New York City time, on the due date money deposited by
the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day,
and no interest will accrue on such payment for the intervening period. 
 (b) The Issuer will pay all Additional Interest, if any, in the
same manner as interest on each Interest Payment Date in the amounts set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 (c) The Issuer will
pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, at the rate equal to 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 Issuer will maintain an office or agency in the United States of America (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. The Issuer 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 Issuer will fail to maintain any such required office or agency or will fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

The Issuer may also from time to time designate additional offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may 

  
 52 







 
from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer 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 Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in
accordance with Section 2.03. 
 Section 4.03. Reports and Other Information. 

(a) Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the
Issuer will make available to the Trustee and the Holders, without cost to any Holder, the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations
prescribe) that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to U.S. issuers within the time periods specified therein (including any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) or in the relevant forms.
The foregoing requirements may be satisfied by posting such reports, documents and information on the Issuer’s website within the time periods specified in this Section 4.03. 

(b) If the Issuer has designated any of its Subsidiaries as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such Unrestricted Subsidiary, either individually
or collectively, would otherwise have been a Significant Subsidiary (based upon the most recently delivered financial statements), then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.03(a) will include a reasonably detailed
presentation, as determined in good faith by Senior Management of the Issuer, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes to the financial statements and in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” section, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

 (c) In addition, the Issuer and the Guarantors will make available to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon the request of such
Holders, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act. For purposes of this clause (c), the Issuer and the Guarantors will be
deemed to have furnished the reports to the Trustee and the Holders as required by this Section 4.03 if the Issuer has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available; provided that the
Trustee will have no obligation to monitor whether such reports are filed. 
 (d) In the event that any direct or indirect parent company of
the Issuer becomes a guarantor of the Notes, the Issuer may satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section 4.03 with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to such parent company;
provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. 

  
 53 







 (e) At any time that the Issuer is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will within five Business Days after providing the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.03(a), hold and participate in a quarterly conference call to discuss operating results and
related matters for the relevant reporting period, which conference call will be open to all Holders, any prospective investor that is a QIB or a non-U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), any securities analyst or any
market maker in the notes, in each case that have certified to the Issuer their status as a Permitted Party. Such conference call may be part of or separate from any earnings or similar conference call relating to the financial results of the
Issuer, so long as such call otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 4.03(e). 
 (f) Delivery of such reports and
information to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate. 

(a) The Issuer and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the Trust Indenture Act) will deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the Issue Date, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been
made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuer and each Guarantor have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officers signing
such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge, the Issuer and each Guarantor have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every condition and covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or
observance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default will have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer and each Guarantor are taking
or propose to take with respect thereto). 
 (b) When any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, or if the Trustee or
the holder of any other evidence of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default, the Issuer will promptly (which will be no more than 30 days following the date on which
the Issuer becomes aware of such Default, receives such notice or becomes aware of such action, as applicable and so long as such Default is continuing) send to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying such event, its status and what
action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

  
 54 







 Section 4.05. Taxes. 

The Issuer will pay, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments and
governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Issuer and each Guarantor 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 Issuer and each
Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant 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.
Limitation on Restricted Payments. 
 (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or
indirectly, to:

(A) dividends or distributions payable solely in Capital Stock of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock); and

 (2) purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value, including in connection with any merger or consolidation, any

consolidated balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than debt held by a Subsidiary of the Issuer) subsequent to the Issue Date of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries convertible or exchangeable for Capital
Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer (less the amount of any cash, or the fair market value of any other property, distributed by the Issuer upon such conversion or exchange); plus

which amount in each case under this clause (iv) was included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; provided,
however, that no amount will be included under this clause (iv) to the extent it is already included in Consolidated Net Income. 

  
 57 







 (b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) will not prohibit: 

(1) any Restricted Payment made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent issuance or sale of,

parent companies, that occurs after the Issue Date, to the extent the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of such Capital Stock have not otherwise been applied to the payment of Restricted Payments (provided that the Net Cash Proceeds from such
sales or contributions will be excluded from Section 4.07(a)(4)(C)(ii); plus 
 (B) the cash proceeds of key man
life insurance policies received by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date; less

clauses (1) through (11) above, Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount, which when taken together with all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (12) (as reduced by the amount of capital returned from any such Restricted
Payments that constituted Restricted Investments in the form of cash and Cash Equivalents (exclusive of items reflected in Consolidated Net Income)) not to exceed $75.0 million; and 

(13) any Restricted Payment; provided that, immediately after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the
application of the proceeds thereof), the Issuer would have had a Leverage Ratio of less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.0; 
 provided, however,
that at the time of and immediately after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (6), (7), (12), and (13), no Default will have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 

In determining whether any Restricted Payment is permitted by the foregoing covenant, the Issuer may allocate or reallocate, at any time and
from time to time, all or any portion of such Restricted Payment among all clauses of Section 4.07(b) or among such clauses and Section 4.07(a), provided that at the time of such allocation or reallocation, all such Restricted Payments,
or allocated portions thereof, would be permitted under this Section 4.07.

Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments in an amount determined as set
forth in the definition of “Investment.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted 

  
 60 







 
Payment or Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will
not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Indenture. 
 Section 4.08. Limitation on Restrictions on
Distribution From Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 

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

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

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that
such transfers will not include any type of transfer described in clauses (1) or (2) above).

asset of, a Person acquired (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which is in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or
restriction is not applicable to any 

  
 61 







 
Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired (including after-acquired
property); 
 (4) any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an
agreement, instrument or document referred to in clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 4.08(b) or this clause (4); provided, however, that the encumbrances or restrictions effected by such amendments, restatements, modifications,
renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, no more restrictive (taken as a whole with all other encumbrances and restrictions contained in such agreement, instrument or document)
than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements referred to in clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this paragraph on the Issue Date or the date such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged into a Restricted
Subsidiary, whichever is applicable; 
 (5) in the case of Section 4.08(a)(3), Liens permitted to be Incurred under Section
4.12 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; 
 (6) (A) purchase money
obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and (B) Capitalized Lease Obligations permitted under this Indenture, in each case, that impose encumbrances or restrictions of the nature described in Section 4.08(a)(3) on

 (7) contracts for the sale of assets (including Sale/Leaseback Transactions) or Capital Stock,
including customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary of the Issuer pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or a portion of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary;

to the terms of a Permitted Receivables Financing; or 
 (13) other Indebtedness Incurred by the Issuer or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries or Preferred Stock issued by a Guarantor, in each case in accordance with Section 4.09, that, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, (i) contains encumbrances or restrictions that are not more restrictive, taken as a
whole, than those applicable to the Issuer in either this Indenture or the Credit Agreement on the Issue Date (which results in encumbrances or restrictions comparable to those applicable to the Issuer at a Restricted Subsidiary level) or
(ii) will not materially affect the Issuer’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes. 
 Section 4.09.
Limitation on Indebtedness.

creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with undrawn trade letters of credit and reimbursement obligations relating to trade letters of credit satisfied within 30 days being excluded, and bankers’ acceptances
being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof) in an aggregate outstanding amount Incurred under this clause (1) not to exceed an amount equal to the greater of (i) $1,150.0 million and (ii) the Borrowing
Base (determined at the time of Incurrence);

Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however,

beneficially held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; and (2) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, will be
deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Issuer or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. 

(6) Indebtedness of Persons Incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was
acquired by, or merged into, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness Incurred (a) to provide all or any portion of the funds utilized to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which

of Indebtedness described in Section 4.09(a) and (b)(or any combination thereof), the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to classify and divide such item of Indebtedness (or any one or more portions thereof) on the date of Incurrence
and may later reclassify or divide such item of Indebtedness (or any one or more portions thereof) in any manner that complies with Section 4.09(a) and (b) (or any combination thereof) and only be required to include the amount and type of such
Indebtedness in one of such clauses; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the Credit Agreement (after giving effect to the issuance of the Initial Notes and the use of proceeds therefrom as described in the
Offering Memorandum) will be deemed Incurred under Section 4.09(b)(1) and not Section 4.09(a) or Section 4.09(b)(3) and may not later be reclassified or divided; 

(2) Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the
determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness will not be included; 
 (3) if obligations in respect of letters of
credit are Incurred pursuant to a Debt Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(1) and the letters of credit relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness will not be included; 

  
 66 







 (4) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or a Restricted
Subsidiary, or Preferred Stock of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference
thereof; 
 (5) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.09 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision
permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.09 permitting such Indebtedness; and 

(6) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of
the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted
value, or the amortization of debt discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence
of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount or the aggregate principal
amount outstanding in the case of Indebtedness issued with interest payable in kind and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof in the case of any other Indebtedness. 

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

  
 67 







 Section 4.10. Asset Sales. 

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Disposition unless: 

(1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at least equal to the Fair Market
Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) of the shares, property and assets subject to such Asset Disposition; and 

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset
Disposition and all other Asset Dispositions since the Issue Date, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. 
 For the purposes of
clauses (1) and (2) above, no Asset Disposition pursuant to condemnation, confiscation, appropriation or other similar taking, including by deed in lieu of condemnation, resulting from damage, destruction, or total loss, or pursuant to foreclosure
or other enforcement of a Lien Incurred not in breach of this Indenture or exercise by the related lienholder of rights with respect thereto, including by deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure will, in any such case, be required to satisfy the
conditions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above. 
 For the purposes of clause (2) above, and for no other purpose, the following will be
deemed to be cash: 
 (1) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent
balance sheet) of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantees) that are assumed by the transferee of any such shares, property
or other assets and from which the Issuer and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing; 

(2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are
converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition; and 

(3) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset
Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (3) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $35.0 million and
(y) 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received without giving effect to subsequent
changes in value). 

  
 68 







 (b) Within 365 days from the later of the date an Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net
Available Cash, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Available Cash, at the option of the Issuer and in the sequence it elects, as follows: 

(1) to repay, retire or redeem any Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Obligations)
or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Disqualified Stock or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations), in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer; or 

(2) to invest in Additional Assets; 

provided that the Issuer will be deemed to have complied with the provisions described in clause (2) of this paragraph if and to the extent that,
within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Dispositions that generated the Net Available Cash or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding
agreement to acquire the assets or Capital Stock of a Similar Business, make an Investment in Additional Assets or make a capital expenditure in compliance with the provision described in clause (2), and that acquisition, purchase, investment or
capital expenditure is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period. Pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (1) or (2) above, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may
temporarily reduce Indebtedness (including under a revolving Debt Facility) or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 

(c) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) will be deemed to
constitute “Excess Proceeds” which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any Net Available Cash that is the subject of an Asset Disposition Offer to the extent not accepted by the Holders on or before the applicable Asset
Disposition Purchase Date pursuant to the terms described below. On the 366th day after an Asset Disposition, or, in the case of Section 4.10(b)(2) above, upon abandonment of any such project (or, in either case, earlier at the Issuer’s
option), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Issuer will promptly thereafter make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of any outstanding Pari
Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in
an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, (subject to the right of Holders of record at the close of business on the Relevant Record
Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, in each case in denominations of $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will commence an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds by mailing (or otherwise communicating in accordance with the procedures of DTC) the notice required by


  
 69 







 
Section 3.09, with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset
Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Pari Passu
Indebtedness surrendered by such holders or lenders thereof, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate accreted
value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates . 

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any material
transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or asset or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Issuer (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration to or from the
Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $1.0 million unless: 
 (1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not
materially less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arms-length
dealings with a Person that is not an Affiliate; 
 (2) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate
consideration to or from the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $5.0 million but less than or equal to $10.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in Section
4.11(a)(1) above; 
 (3) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration to or from the Issuer or
such Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $10.0 million, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and by a majority of the members of such Board of Directors having no
personal stake in such transaction, if any (and such majority or majorities, as the case may be, determines that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in 4.11(a)(1) above); and 

(4) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration to or from the Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary in excess of $25.0 million, the Issuer has received a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor that such Affiliate Transaction satisfied the criteria in clause (1) above or that such Affiliate Transaction is fair to the
Issuer from a financial point of view. 

  
 70 







 (b) Section 4.11(a) will not apply to: 

(1) any transaction (i) between or among the Issuer and one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) between or
among Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (2) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.07 or Permitted
Investments (other than pursuant to clause (2) of the definition thereof); 
 (3) any issuance of securities or other
payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or as the funding of, employment agreements and other compensation arrangements, options to purchase Capital Stock of the Issuer, restricted stock plans, long -term incentive
plans, stock appreciation rights plans, participation plans or similar employee benefits plans and/or indemnity provided on behalf of Officers, employees and directors; 

(4) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and benefit arrangements and indemnity provided for or on behalf of,
employees, officers, directors of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (5) loans or advances to employees (excluding
financed receivables from the sale of products to employees in the ordinary course of business), Officers or directors of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, in an aggregate
amount not in excess of $1.0 million (without giving effect to the forgiveness of any such loan) at any time outstanding, or any financed receivables from the sale of products to employees in the ordinary course of business; 

(6) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, as these agreements may be amended, restated, modified, supplemented,
extended, replaced or renewed from time to time, so long as any such amendment, restatement, modification, supplement, extension, replacement or renewal does not, in any material respect, adversely affect the rights of the Holders as compared to,
when taken as a whole, the terms of the agreements on the Issue Date, as determined in good faith by the Issuer; 
 (7) any
agreement between any Person and an Affiliate of such Person existing at the time such Person is acquired by or merged into the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such agreement was not entered into in contemplation of such
acquisition or merger, and any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment does not, in any material respect, adversely affect the rights of the Holders as compared to, when taken as a whole, the applicable agreement as in effect on the date of
such acquisition or merger), as determined in good faith by the Issuer; 
 (8) transactions with customers, clients,
suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and otherwise 

  
 71 







 
not in breach of the terms of this Indenture; provided that in the reasonable determination of the members of the Board of Directors or Senior Management of the Issuer, such transactions
are on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of such transactions in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with
an unrelated Person; 
 (9) any issuance or sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Issuer
and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith; 
 (10) transactions with a Person that
is an Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer owns Capital Stock in, or controls, such Person; 
 (11) any
transaction between the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Person, a director of which is also a director of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such director abstains from voting as a director in connection with the
approval of the transaction; 
 (12) transactions entered into as part of a Permitted Receivables Financing; and 

(13) transactions in which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent
Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained by the
Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in a comparable transaction at such time on an arms-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate. 

Section 4.12. Limitation on Liens. 

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur, assume or permit to
exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries), whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after that date, which Lien is securing any Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously
with the Incurrence of such Liens: 
 (a) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations, the
Notes and related Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or 

(b) in all other cases, the Notes and related Note Guarantees are equally and ratably secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds
or are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens. 

  
 72 







 Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders pursuant to this Section 4.12 will be automatically
and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (a) and (b) above. 

Section 4.13. Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article 5, the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect
(1) its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to
time) of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (2) licenses and franchises of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries which are necessary to operate its and their business, taken as a whole; provided that the Issuer will
not be required to take any such actions to preserve any such licenses or franchises, or the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Issuer in good faith determines that the
preservation thereof is not desirable or necessary in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

Section 4.14. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has given a notice of redemption with respect to all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to
Article 3, the Issuer will make an offer to purchase all of the Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”) (subject to the right of Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Change
of Control Payment Date). No later than 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Issuer has given notice of redemption with respect to all of the Notes pursuant to Article 3, the Issuer will mail a notice or otherwise deliver notice
in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC of such Change of Control Offer to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, stating: 

(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer
will be accepted for purchase by the Issuer at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record at the close of
business day on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on an Interest Payment Date); 
 (2) the purchase date (which
will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); and 

(3) the procedures determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its
Notes repurchased. 

  
 73 







 (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful: 

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) 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 so tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.14. 

(c) The Paying Agent will promptly mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) to each Holder of Notes so
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new
Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

(d) If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an Interest Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any
accrued and unpaid interest to the Change of Control Payment Date will be paid on the Change of Control Payment Date 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 pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. 
 (e) The Change of Control provisions described above will be
applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable, except as set forth in Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 11.01. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, this Indenture does not contain provisions that
permit the Holders to require that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. 

(f) The Issuer 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
Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under
such Change of Control Offer or (2) in connection with or contemplation of any publicly announced Change of Control, the Issuer has made any offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash
price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Alternate 

  
 74 







 
Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control conditional upon the occurrence of such Change
of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control contemporaneously with the making of the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer. 

(g) The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws
or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of the conflict. 

Section 4.15. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. 

If any Domestic Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) becomes a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement after the Issue Date, then that
Domestic Subsidiary will become a Guarantor and execute a Supplemental Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit B and deliver an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee within 15 Business Days of such date. Each Note Guarantee of such
Guarantor will be subject to the terms and limitations of, including the release provisions set forth in Article 10. 
 Section 4.16.
Payment for Consent. 
 The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to
be paid any consideration, to or for the benefit of, any Holder for, or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to all Holders and is
paid to all Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or amendment; provided that if such consents, waivers or amendments are sought in connection
with an exchange offer where participation in such exchange offer is limited to Holders who are “qualified institutional buyers,” within the meaning of Rule 144A, or non-U.S. persons, within the meaning of Regulation S, then such
consideration need only be offered to all Holders to whom the exchange offer is made and to be paid to all such Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in such time frame. 

Section 4.17. Changes in Covenants Upon Notes Being Rated Investment Grade. 

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

(1) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from either of the Rating Agencies; 

(2) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture; and 

(3) an Officer’s Certificate is delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee to the foregoing effect, 

  
 75 







 the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereafter no longer will be subject to the provisions of Sections
4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.15 (but only with respect to any Person that is required to become a Guarantor after the date of the commencement of the applicable Suspension Date) and 5.01(a)(3) or 5.01(a)(4) (collectively, the “Suspended
Covenants”). 
 (b) If at any time the credit rating of the Notes is downgraded such that they cease to have an Investment Grade
Rating from either Rating Agency, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment
Grade Rating from either of the Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants will no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating from either of
the Rating Agencies); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind will be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the
Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries will bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below) that were permitted at such time, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been
permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” 

(c) On the Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to
Section 4.09(a) or one of the clauses set forth in Section 4.09(b) (in each case to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reinstatement Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred prior to the
Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reinstatement Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or one of the clauses set forth in Section 4.09(b), such Indebtedness will be deemed
to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified under Section 4.09(b)(3). Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 will be made as though Section
4.07 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a). 

(d) During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, the Board of Directors of the Issuer may not designate any of the
Issuer’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture. 
 (e) Promptly following the occurrence of any
Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date, the Issuer will provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee regarding such occurrence, and in the absence of such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee


  
 76 







 
will be entitled to presume that no Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date has occurred. The Trustee will have no obligation to independently determine or verify if a Suspension Date or
Reinstatement Date has occurred or notify the Holders of any Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officers’ Certificate to any Holder upon request. 

ARTICLE 5 

SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.01. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets. 

(a) The Issuer will not consolidate with or merge with or into or wind up into any Person (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving
corporation), or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless: 

(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if other than the Issuer, the “Successor Company”) is a
corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state or territory thereof, or the District of Columbia, and if such entity is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a
corporation organized or existing under such laws; 
 (2) the Successor Company (if other than the Issuer) expressly assumes
all of the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and, unless the Issuer and Guarantors have theretofore
fulfilled their registration obligations thereunder, assumes by written agreement all of the obligations of the Issuer under the Registration Rights Agreement; 

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing;

 (4) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions, as if
such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, 
 (A) the Issuer or the Successor
Company would be able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(a), or 
 (B) the
Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Issuer or the Successor Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be no less than such ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; and 

(5) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
such consolidation, merger, winding up or disposition, and such supplemental indenture, if any, comply with this Indenture. 

  
 77 







 (b) Notwithstanding Sections 5.01(a)(3) and (4): 

(1) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge with or into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to
the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary so long as no Capital Stock of the Restricted Subsidiary is distributed to any Person other than Issuer or such other Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that
merges into the Issuer, the Issuer will not be required to comply with Section 5.01(a)(5); and 
 (2) the Issuer may merge
with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another state or territory of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted
Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. 
 (c) In addition, the Issuer will not permit any Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into or
wind up into any Person (whether or not any such Guarantor is the surviving corporation (other than to the Issuer or another Guarantor)), unless: 

(1) the resulting or surviving Person, if other than the Guarantor (the “Successor Guarantor”), expressly
assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Notes, this Indenture and its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or 

(2) the transaction does not violate Section 4.10. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may (i) merge with or into a Guarantor or the Issuer or (ii) merge with a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Guarantor in a state or territory of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, as long as the amount of Indebtedness of such Guarantor and its
Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. 
 (e) For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer,
lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Issuer, which properties and assets, if held by the Issuer instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all
of the properties and assets of the Issuer on a consolidated basis, will be deemed to be the disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer. 

Section 5.02. Successor Entity Substituted. 

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Issuer or a 

  
 78 







 
merger or consolidation of a Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01, the successor Person, formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Issuer or a Guarantor, as applicable, is
merged or wound up or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made will succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, winding up, sale, lease,
conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, will refer instead to the successor entity and not to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable), and may exercise every
right and power of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, herein; and the predecessor Issuer or Guarantor will
be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets).

 Section 6.02. Acceleration. 

(a) If any Event of Default (other an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(8) or (9) with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuer, specifying the Event of Default, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the
request of such Holders will, declare the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. The Trustee will have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers, in good faith, determines acceleration is not in the best interest of the
Holders. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case an Event of Default under clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.01(a) occurs with respect to
the Issuer and is continuing, the principal of, and premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest on all the then outstanding Notes will become immediately due and payable without further action or notice. 

(c) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all Holders
rescind an acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of
the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes that have become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 

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 the principal of, 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. 

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all Holders
waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note held by a non-consenting Holder; provided that, subject to Section 6.02, the
Holders of a majority in 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 will cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

  
 82 







 Section 6.05. Control by Majority. 

The Holders of a majority in 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 of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good
faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of the Notes or the Note Guarantees or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which the Trustee has not received an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

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

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

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the
remedy; 
 (3) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any
loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof
and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 
 A Holder
may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

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

  
 83 







 Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. 

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

Section 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

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

Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

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

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 6.12. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(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 Issuer (or any other obligor upon the
Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and is entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and


  
 84 







 
distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 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 out of the estate in any such proceeding, are denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a Lien on, and will 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 will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.13. Priorities. 

If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it will pay out the money in the following order: 

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

(2) to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for the principal of, and 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 

(3) to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct, including a Guarantor, if applicable.

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.13. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this Section 6.13, the Trustee will cause notice of such record date and payment date to be given to the Issuer and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.02. 

Section 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, 

  
 85 







 
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to
Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 
 ARTICLE 7 

TRUSTEE 

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee. 

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

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

(1) the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need
perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph does not limit
the effect of Section 7.01(b); 
 (2) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer, unless it is proved in a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

(3) the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.01(a), (b) and (c). 

  
 86 







 (e) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this
Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 

(f) The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money
held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 7.02. Rights
of Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee
will determine in good faith to make such further inquiry or investigation, it will be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and will incur no liability
or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it
may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both subject to the other provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 
 (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and
will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee will not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

 (f) None of the provisions of this Indenture will require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it has reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. 

  
 87 







 (g) The Trustee will not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default
unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or an Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the existence of a Default or
Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (h) In no event will the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive
or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

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

obligation to pay Additional Interest no later than 15 days prior to the next Interest Payment Date, which notice will set forth the amount of the Additional Interest to be paid by the Issuer. The Trustee will not at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any Holders to determine whether the Additional Interest is payable and the amount thereof. 
 (k) The Trustee may request
that the Issuer deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by
any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(m) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein will not be construed as duties. 

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee or any Agent in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or such Agent. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest within the meaning of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b) it
must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is
also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

  
 88

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it will not
be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other
than its certificate of authentication on the Notes. 
 Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if, in accordance with Section 7.02(g), it is known to the Trustee, the
Trustee will mail to each Holder a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs unless such Default or Event of Default will have been cured or waived. Except in the case of an Event of Default specified in clauses (1) or (2) of Section
6.01(a), the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if and so long as a committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. 

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 

(a) Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with the May 15 following the Issue Date, and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) (but if no event described in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) has
occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by Trust
Indenture Act Section 313(c). 
 (b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders will be mailed to the Issuer and
filed with the SEC and each national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing in the event the Notes are listed or delisted
on any national securities exchange or delisted therefrom. 
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of
this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties will agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the Trustee
promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Trustee will provide the Issuer reasonable notice of any expenditure not in the ordinary course of business. 

  
 89 







 (b) The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee for, and
hold each of the Trustee and any predecessor harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and
the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer or any Guarantor (including this Section 7.07)) or defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the
acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Trustee to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer will defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. In
addition, the Issuer and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 

(c) The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or
the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 (d) To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Section
7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture. 
 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(8) or (9)
occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice of such resignation to the Issuer and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so
notifying the Issuer. Following an Event of Default, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the
Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

  
 90 







 (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is
entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee
or its property; or 
 (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

(b) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the successor Trustee to replace it with another successor Trustee
appointed by the Issuer. 
 (c) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 (d) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with
Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders.
The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and such transfer will be subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

(f) As used in this Section 7.08, the term “Trustee” will also include each Agent. 

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation or national banking association, the successor corporation or national banking association without any further act will be the successor Trustee, subject to Section 7.10. 

  
 91 







 Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 

(a) There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 (b) This Indenture will always
have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). 

Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. 

The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act
Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed will be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 

ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01. Option to Effect
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03
applied to this Indenture and all outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

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

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

  
 92 







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

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

(b) Following the Issuer’s exercise of its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default. 
 (c) Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the
prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. 
 Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors will, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Article 3 and Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, and clauses (3)
and (4) of Section 5.01(a) with respect to the outstanding Notes, and the Guarantors will be deemed to have been automatically released from their obligations with respect to all Note Guarantees, on and after the date the conditions set
forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (“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 this Indenture and the outstanding Notes, the Issuer 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, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(a)(3) (that resulted solely from the failure of the Issuer to comply with Sections 5.01(a)(3), 5.01(a)(4), 6.01(a)(4), 6.01(a)(5)
(only with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(6), 6.01(a)(7), 6.01(a)(8) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries
that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited financial statements 

  
 93 







 
of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.01(a)(9) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries or a group
of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and 6.01(a)(10), in each case, will not
constitute an Event of Default. 
 Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

(a) The following will be the conditions to the exercise of either the Legal Defeasance option under Section 8.02 or the Covenant Defeasance
option under Section 8.03 with respect to the Notes: 
 (1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust,
for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, as confirmed, certified or attested by an Independent Financial Advisor in writing to the Trustee, without
consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on, the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the
Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 
 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer
will have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, 
 (A) the
Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 
 (B) since the
Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon
such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

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

  
 94 







 (4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of
such deposit (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in
connection therewith) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or material instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any
Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound; 
 (5) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer, any Guarantor or others; 

(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of
Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; and 

(7) the Issuer shall have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of
the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be (which instructions may be contained in the Officers’ Certificate referred to in clause (6) above). 

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

(a) Subject to Section 8.06, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes 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 (including the Issuer
or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law. 
 (b) The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on
or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders. 

(c) Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the
request of the Issuer any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written


  
 95 







 
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06. Repayment to the Issuer. 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in
trust for the payment of the principal, 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 will be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if
then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of the Issuer 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 expense of the Issuer cause to be published once,
in The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which 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 Issuer. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement.

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as
the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, the Notes
and the Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the
case may be; provided that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such
payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. 

(a) Notwithstanding Section 9.02, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee (or, with respect to a
supplemental indenture executed for the purpose of adding a Guarantor, the Issuer, the new Guarantor and the Trustee) may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees to:

Indenture, Additional Notes, and in each case, the related Guarantees; provided, however, that (A) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being issued or transferred in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable securities law and (B) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes. 

(b) Upon the request of the Issuer, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 12.04, the Trustee will join with
the Issuer 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion


  
 97

Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit B, and delivery of an Officers’ Certificate, except as provided in Section 5.01(c). 

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders.

9.02. 
 (b) Upon the request of the Issuer, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of
the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 and Section 12.04, the Trustee will join with the Issuer 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. 
 (c) It will not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (d) After an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice,
or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Without the consent of each affected Holder, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not: 
 (1)
reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

stated rate of interest or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any Note; 

  
 98 







 (3) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

(5) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed as
described in Section 3.07 (it being understood that this does include the provisions relating to minimum notice requirements required for redemptions of Notes); 

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

(7) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on

this Indenture, except in compliance with the terms hereof. 
 (f) A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the
Notes or any Note Guarantee by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. 

Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

If this Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth
in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04. Revocation
and Effect of Consents. 
 (a) Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a
continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such
Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

  
 99 







 (b) The Issuer may, but will not be obligated to, fix a record date pursuant to Section 1.05 for
the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record
date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, will be entitled to consent to such amendment or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. 

Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

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

(b) Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01. Guarantee. 

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis,
to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (1) the principal of, and premium, if
any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other
Obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal
of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same 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 by the
Issuer 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 will be unconditional, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment


  
 100 







 
against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and
covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 10.06. 

(c) Each of the Guarantors also agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 
 (d) If any Holder or the
Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such
Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (e) Each Guarantor agrees
that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) 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 Guarantees. 
 (f) Each Note Guarantee will remain in full
force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation or reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or
trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes
are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or
otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed
reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 (g) In case any provision of any Note Guarantee
will be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

(h) Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee will be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or
diminution of any kind or nature. 

  
 101 







 Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

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

(ii) the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, exchange or other disposition (other than by lease) of all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor to a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (whether or not such
Guarantor is the Surviving Person of such transaction); provided that such disposition does not violate Section 4.10; or 

(B) the proper designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or 

(C) the Issuer exercising its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 or the

 ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. 

(a) This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes (except as provided below), when either: 

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

(2) (A) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the giving
of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or may be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and
at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer 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, Government Securities, or a
combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for the principal
of, and premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (B) the Issuer
has paid or caused to be paid or otherwise made to the satisfaction of the Trustee, provision for the payment of, all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 

(C) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the
Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. 
 (b) In addition, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge under this Section 11.01 have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (A) of clause (2) of Section 11.01(a), the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06
will survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 Section 11.02. Application of Trust Money. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.05, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 will be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance 

  
 104 







 
with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, 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. 
 (b) If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 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 Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the
Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will 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, as the case may be.

Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions will be deemed controlling. The
Trustee will not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent
written instruction. The Issuer agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized
instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties, provided that the Trustee has taken and maintains commercially reasonable efforts and controls to safeguard the use and access of information and materials so transmitted

(a) The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof will be (i) offered and sold by the Issuer to the Initial Purchasers and
(ii) resold, initially only to (1) QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A (“Rule 144A Notes”) and (2) Persons other than U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S (“Regulation S Notes”). Such Initial Notes

represented thereby with the Custodian, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in this Indenture. Beneficial ownership interests in the

the Regulation S Global Note and any Unrestricted Global Note are each referred to herein as a “Global Note” and are collectively referred to herein as “Global Notes.” Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes
as will be specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto and each will provide that it will represent up to the aggregate principal amount of 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 applicable, 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 of this Indenture and Section 2(c) of this Appendix A. 

  
 Appendix A-2 







 (c) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2(c) will apply only to a Global Note deposited
with or on behalf of the Depositary. 
 The Issuer will execute and the Trustee will, in accordance with this Section 2(c) and Section 2(b)
of this Appendix A and pursuant to an order of the Issuer signed by one Officer of the Issuer, authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Notes that (i) will be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or Global
Notes or the nominee of such Depositary and (ii) will be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions or held by the Trustee as Custodian. 

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

(d) Definitive Notes. Except as provided in Section 5 of this Appendix A, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not
be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes. 
 Section 3. Authentication. 

The Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer of the Issuer
(a) Initial Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000, (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes, (c) the Exchange Notes for issue only in an Exchange Offer and
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and for a like principal amount of Initial Notes exchanged pursuant thereto and (d) any other Unrestricted Global Notes issued in exchange for any of the foregoing in accordance with this Indenture.
Such order will specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Additional Notes or Exchange Notes or other Unrestricted Global
Notes. 
 Section 4. Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Registrar with a
request: 
 (i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or 

  
 Appendix A-3 







 (ii) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of
Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar will register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes
surrendered for transfer or exchange: 
 (1) will be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and 

(2) in the case of Transfer Restricted Notes, are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as
applicable: 
 (A) if such Definitive Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of
such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Note); or 

(B) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred to the Issuer, a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the
reverse side of the Initial Note); or 
 (C) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from
registration in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (x) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side
of the Initial Note) and (y) if the Issuer so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the applicable legends set forth in Section 4(e)(i) of
this Appendix A. 
 (b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive
Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, together with: 
 (i) (A) certification (in the form set
forth on the reverse side of the Initial Note) that such Definitive Note is being transferred (1) to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, or (2) outside the United States of America in an offshore transaction within the meaning of
Regulation S and in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act or (B) such other certification and opinion of counsel as the Issuer will require; and 

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and
records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such
increase, 

  
 Appendix A-4 







 the Trustee will cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the
standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged
and will credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Global Notes are then outstanding
and the Global Note has not been previously exchanged for certificated securities pursuant to Section 5 of this Appendix A, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee will authenticate, upon written order of the Issuer in the form of an
Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount. 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global
Notes. The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the
procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the
Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note or another Global Note and such account will be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person
making the transfer will be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred. Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such
interest through the Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, will be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification in the form provided on the reverse side of the Initial
Notes from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S, Rule 144 (if available), or another applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and that, if such transfer is being made
prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the interest transferred will be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream. 

(i) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another
Global Note, the Registrar will reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so
transferred, and the Registrar will reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred. 

  
 Appendix A-5 







 (ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the
provisions set forth in Section 5 of this Appendix A), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the
Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

(iii) In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 5 of this Appendix A prior to the
consummation of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Notes, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this
Section 4 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities
Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Issuer. 
 (d) Restrictions on
Transfer of Regulation S Global Note. (i) Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, (1) the Regulation S Global Note will be a temporary global security for purposes of Rules 903 and 904 under the Securities Act,
whether or not designated as such on the face of such Note and (2) interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream. During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the
Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (1) to the Issuer, (2) so long as such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule
144A, to a person whom the selling holder reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (3) in
an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S, (4) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if applicable) or another available exemption and (5) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States of America. Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Rule 144A Global Note will be made only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written
certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse side of the Initial Notes to the effect that such transfer is being made to a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the
requirements of Rule 144A. Such written certification will no longer be required after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period. 

(ii) Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note
will be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of this Indenture. 

  
 Appendix A-6 







 (iii) Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial
interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in a permanent Regulation S Global Note that is an Unrestricted Global Note upon certification in the form provided on the reverse side of the Initial Notes to the
effect that such beneficial interests are owned either by non-U.S. persons or by U.S. persons who purchased those interests pursuant to an exemption from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. If no
such Regulation S Global Note that is an Unrestricted Global Note is then outstanding, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee will authenticate, upon written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Note in the
appropriate principal amount.

all Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) will bear a legend in substantially the following form (each defined term in the legend being defined as such for purposes of the legend only) (“Restricted Notes

 (f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note will be returned by the Depositary to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee.
At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes
represented by such Global Note will be reduced and an adjustment will be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, to reflect
such reduction.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate, Definitive
Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request.

similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.05 of this Indenture). 

(iii) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar will be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(iv) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture will evidence the same debt and
will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 (h) No Obligation

 (i) The Trustee will have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a
member of, or a participant in the Depositary or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary 

  
 Appendix A-10 







 
or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other
Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be
made to Holders under the Notes will be given or made only to the registered Holders (which will be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note will be exercised only through the
Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and will be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial
owners. 
 (ii) The Trustee will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global
Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial
compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 of this Indenture, the Trustee will authenticate (i) one or more Global Notes without the
Restricted Notes Legend in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amounts of the beneficial interests in the Global Notes tendered for acceptance by Persons that provide in the applicable letters of transmittal such certifications as
are required by the Registration Rights Agreement and applicable law, and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer and (ii) Definitive Notes without the Restricted Notes Legend in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of the Definitive Notes tendered for acceptance by Persons that provide in the applicable letters of transmittal such certification as are required by the Registration Rights Agreement and applicable law, and accepted for exchange in the Exchange
Offer. Concurrently with the issuance of such Notes, the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Notes with the Restricted Notes Legend to be reduced accordingly, and the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will
authenticate and mail to the Persons designated by the Holders of the Definitive Notes so accepted Definitive Notes without the Restricted Notes Legend in the applicable principal amount. Any Notes that remain outstanding after the consummation of
the Exchange Offer, and Exchange Notes issued in connection with the Exchange Offer, will be treated as a single class of securities under this Indenture. 

(j) Automatic Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note for Beneficial Interests in an
Unrestricted Global Note. Upon the Issuer’s satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend will no longer be required in 

  
 Appendix A-11 







 
order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, beneficial interests in a Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note may at the Issuer’s option be automatically exchanged into
beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note without any action required by or on behalf of the Holder (the “Automatic Exchange”) at any time on or after the date that is the 366th calendar day after (1) with respect to
any Note issued on the Issue Date, the later of (x) the Issue Date and (y) the last date on which the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Note or (2) with respect to any Additional Note, if any, the later of
(x) the issue date of such Additional Note and (y) the last date on which the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Note, or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the
“Automatic Exchange Date”). Upon the Issuer’s satisfaction that the Restricted Notes Legend will no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, the Issuer may (A) provide written notice to
the Trustee at least ten calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange, instructing the Trustee to direct the Depositary to exchange all of the outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note to the
Unrestricted Global Note, which the Issuer will have previously otherwise made eligible for exchange with the DTC, (B) provide prior written notice (the “Automatic Exchange Notice”) to each Holder at such Holder’s address
appearing in the Note Register at least ten calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange (the “Automatic Exchange Notice Date”), which notice must include (I) the Automatic Exchange Date, (II) the section of the Indenture
pursuant to which the Automatic Exchange will occur, (III) the “CUSIP” number of the Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note from which such Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred and (IV) the “CUSIP”
number of the Unrestricted Global Note into which such Holder’s beneficial interests will be transferred, and (C) on or prior to the date of the Automatic Exchange, deliver to the Trustee for authentication one or more Unrestricted Global
Notes, duly executed by the Issuer, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Global Notes that are Transfer Restricted Notes to be exchanged. At the Issuer’s request on no less than five calendar days’
notice, the Trustee will deliver, in the Issuer’s name and at its expense, the Automatic Exchange Notice (which will be prepared by the Issuer) to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4, during the ten-day period between the Automatic Exchange Notice Date and the Automatic Exchange Date, no transfers or exchanges other than pursuant to this Section 4(j) will be permitted without the prior
written consent of the Issuer. As a condition to any Automatic Exchange, the Issuer will provide, and the Trustee will be entitled to rely upon, an Officers’ Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the
Automatic Exchange will be effected in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Restricted Notes Legend will no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act
and that the aggregate principal amount of the particular Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note is to be transferred to the particular Unrestricted Global Note by adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the
Depositary to reflect the Automatic Exchange. The Issuer may request from Holders such information it reasonably determines is required in order to be able to deliver such Officers’ Certificate. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests
pursuant to this Section 4(j), the aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes will be increased or 

  
 Appendix A-12 







 
decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, to reflect the relevant increase or decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note resulting
from the applicable exchange. Any Global Note that is a Transfer Restricted Note from which beneficial interests are transferred pursuant to an Automatic Exchange will be canceled following the Automatic Exchange. 

Section 5. Definitive Notes. 

(a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as Custodian pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Appendix A or issued in
connection with an Exchange Offer will be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such
transfer complies with Section 4 of this Appendix A and (i) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing
agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or after the Issuer becomes aware of such cessation, or (ii) the Issuer, in its sole
discretion and subject to the procedures of the Depository, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of certificated Notes under this Indenture. In addition, any Affiliate of the Issuer or any Guarantor that is a
beneficial owner of all or part of a Global Note may have such Affiliate’s beneficial interest transferred to such Affiliate in the form of a Definitive Note, by providing a written request to the Issuer and the Trustee and such Opinions of
Counsel, certificates or other information as may be required by this Indenture or the Issuer or Trustee. 
 (b) Any Global Note that is
transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 5 will be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee will authenticate and
deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section will be executed, authenticated
and delivered only in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depositary will direct. Any certificated Initial Note or Additional Note in the form of a Definitive Note delivered
in exchange for an interest in the Global Note will, except as otherwise provided by Section 4(e) of this Appendix A, bear the Restricted Notes Legend. 

(c) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Sections 5(a) of this Appendix A, the Issuer will promptly make available
to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes in fully registered form without interest coupons.
