 ARTICLE TWO 
 THE SECURITIES 
 SECTION 2.01 Title of the Securities. There shall be a
Series of Securities designated the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Securities”). 
 SECTION 2.02 Limitation on
Aggregate Principal Amount. The Securities will be initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000; provided that the Company may from time to time, without giving notice to or seeking the consent of the Holders of the
Securities, issue securities having the same terms (other than the issue price, interest accrual date and, in some cases, the first interest payment date) and any additional securities (the “Additional Securities”) having such similar
terms, together with the applicable Securities, will constitute a single Series of Securities under the Indenture; provided, however, that no Additional Securities shall be issued that are not fungible for U.S. Federal income tax purposes with any
other securities issued under the Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.03 Form and Dating. The Securities will be offered and sold by
the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Securities will be initially resold only to (i) QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and (ii) Persons other than U.S. Persons (as
defined in Regulation S) in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). Securities initially resold pursuant to Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global
Securities in definitive, fully registered form (collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Security”) and Securities initially resold pursuant to Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more temporary global
securities in fully registered form (collectively, the “Temporary Regulation S Global Security”), in each case without interest coupons and with the global securities legend and the applicable restricted securities legend set forth in
Exhibit A hereto, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with the Securities Custodian and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company
and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture. Except as set forth in this Section 2.03, beneficial ownership interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Security will not be exchangeable for interests in the
Rule 144A Global Security, a permanent global security (the “Permanent Regulation S Global Security”, and together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Security, the “Regulation S Global Security”) or any
other Security prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period and then, after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, may be exchanged for interests in a Rule 144A Global Security or the Permanent Regulation S
Global Security only upon certification in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that beneficial ownership interests in such Temporary Regulation S Global Security are owned either by non-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who purchased
such interests in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act. 

  
 5 








 Beneficial interests in Temporary Regulation S Global Securities may be exchanged for
interests in Rule 144A Global Securities if (1) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of Securities in compliance with Rule 144A and (2) the transferor of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S
Global Security first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in a form satisfactory to the Trustee) to the effect that the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Security is being transferred to a Person (a) who
the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB, (b) purchasing for its own account or the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and (c) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the States
of the United States and other jurisdictions. 
 Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Security may be transferred to
a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Security, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate
(in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Security) to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if applicable). 

The Rule 144A Global Security, the Temporary Regulation S Global Security and the Permanent Regulation S Global Security
are collectively referred to herein as “Global Securities”. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its
nominee as hereinafter provided. 
 SECTION 2.04 Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.04 shall apply only to a
Global Security deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. 
 The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance
with this Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Securities that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Global Securities or the nominee of such Depositary and
(b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions or held by the Trustee as Securities Custodian. 
 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary
or by the Trustee as Securities Custodian or under such Global Security, and the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depositary as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all
purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its 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 Security. 

  
 6 








 SECTION 2.05 Definitive Securities. Except as provided in this Section 2.05,
Section 2.06 or Section 2.07, owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Securities. 
 SECTION 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of
Definitive Securities. When Definitive Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request: 
 (x) to
register the transfer of such Definitive Securities; or 
 (y) to exchange such Definitive Securities for an
equal principal amount of Definitive Securities of other authorized denominations, 
 the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the
exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange: 

(i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Securityholder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and 
 (ii) if such Definitive Securities are required to bear a restricted securities legend, they are being transferred in accordance with Section 2.06(b) or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or
(C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable: 
 (A)
if such Definitive Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Securityholder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Securityholder to that effect; or 

(B) if such Definitive Securities are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect; or 

(C) if such Definitive Securities are being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in
accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act: (i) a certification to that effect (in the
form set forth on the reverse of the Security) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in
Section 2.06(e)(i). 
 (b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Security for a Beneficial Interest in a Global
Security. A Definitive Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Security or a Permanent Regulation S Global Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee
of a Definitive Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with: 

  
 7 








 (i) certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Security, that such
Definitive Security is either (A) being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) being transferred after expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period by a Person who initially purchased such Security in reliance on
Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Security in the form of a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Security; and 
 (ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Securities Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Security (in the
case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(A)) or Permanent Regulation S Global Security (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(B)) to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Rule
144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, 
 then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Security and cause, or direct the Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary
and the Securities Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by the Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive
Security to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, equal to
the principal amount of the Definitive Security so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Securities or Permanent Regulation S Global Securities, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written
order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of the Company, a new Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount. 

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. 

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the
Depositary, in accordance with this Supplemental 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 Security shall
deliver to the Registrar 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 the Global Security. The
Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security and to debit the account of the Person making the
transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred. 

  
 8 








 (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one
Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an
amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security from which such interest is
being transferred. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Supplemental Indenture (other than the
provisions set forth in Section 2.07), a Global Security 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. 
 (d) Restrictions

the Applicable Procedures and only (i) to the Company or (ii) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S (other than a transaction resulting in an exchange for an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global

 IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO
THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH TRANSFER AGENT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS. 

  
 10 









 (ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security (including
any Transfer Restricted Security represented by a Global Security) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall permit the transferee thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a Definitive Security that
does not bear the legend set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security, if the transferor thereof certifies in writing to the Registrar that such sale or transfer was made in reliance on
Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Security). 
 (f) Cancellation or
Adjustment of Global Security. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Security have either been exchanged for Definitive Securities, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Security shall be returned by the Depositary to the

any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 8.5 or 12.3 of the Indenture). 
 (iii) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Security is
registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Company, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed. 
 (v) All

a participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities 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 Securities. All notices

fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 
 (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with

 ARTICLE THREE 
 SECTION 3.01 Guaranties. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis to each Securityholder and to the Trustee
and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under
this Supplemental Indenture and the Securities and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Supplemental Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being
hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Subsidiary
Guarantor and that such Subsidiary Guarantor will remain bound under this Article Three notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the failure of any Securityholder or the Trustee to assert any claim
or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under this Supplemental Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any
thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any Securityholder or the
Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Securityholder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (6) except as set forth in
Section 3.06, any change in the ownership of such Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that
its Subsidiary Guaranty herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Securityholder or the Trustee to any security
held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 Except as expressly set forth in Sections 3.02 and 3.06, the obligations
of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense
of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Securityholder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Supplemental Indenture, the Securities or any
other agreement, by any waiver 

  
 14 









 
or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other
act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guaranty herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Securityholder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or
otherwise. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Securityholder or the Trustee
has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the
Securityholders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and
(C) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Securityholders and the Trustee. 
 Each Subsidiary
Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Securityholders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 5.1 of the Indenture for the
purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guaranty herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of
any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Section 5.1 of the Indenture, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the
purposes of this Section. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Securityholder in enforcing any rights under this Section 3.01. 
 SECTION 3.02 Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed
hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other
Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of its Guaranteed Obligations, can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Supplemental Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or
fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

 SECTION 3.03 Successors and Assigns. Except as provided in Section 3.06 hereof,
this Article Three shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Securityholders and, in the event of any transfer
or assignment of rights by any Securityholder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Supplemental Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all
subject to the terms and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture. 
 SECTION 3.04 No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a
delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Securityholders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article Three shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Securityholders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under
this Article Three at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 
 SECTION 3.05 Modification. No modification, amendment
or waiver of any provision of this Article Three, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the
same, similar or other circumstances. 
 SECTION 3.06 Release of Subsidiary Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor will be
released from its obligations under this Section 3.06 (other than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 3.07) (a) upon the sale or disposition of (whether by merger, consolidation, the sale of its capital stock or the sale
of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by lease)) and whether or not the Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving entity in such transaction to a Person that is not the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that all of the
obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, under the USG Credit Agreement (or any successor facility) and related documentation terminate upon consummation of such transaction or (b) following the defeasance of the Securities in
accordance with Section 10.1(b) of the Indenture to the extent that the obligations of the Company have been discharged thereby. 
 At the
written request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release. 

SECTION 3.07 Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guaranty shall be entitled, upon
payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Supplemental Indenture, to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based
on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America. 

  
 16 









 SECTION 3.08 Merger or Consolidation of Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) Subject to
Sections 3.06 and 3.08(b) hereof, no Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person unless: (i) the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and (ii) immediately after such
transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. 
 (b) The restrictions in Section 3.08(a) hereof shall not prohibit a
consolidation or merger between Subsidiary Guarantors or between the Company and a Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 SECTION 3.09
Future Guarantors. The Company shall cause (i) each Domestic Subsidiary that becomes one of the Company’s “significant subsidiaries” (as such term is defined in Regulation S-X under the Securities Act) after the issue date
of the Securities, to become a Subsidiary Guarantor promptly following the time that it is determined to be a “significant subsidiary” in accordance with the periodic and current reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, as well as Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (it being understood that the determination as to whether any Subsidiary is a “significant subsidiary” will be made at least annually in connection with the preparation
of the Company’s annual financial statements) and (ii) each Domestic Subsidiary that incurs or guarantees any Capital Markets Indebtedness to become a Subsidiary Guarantor promptly following such incurrence or guarantee, as the case may
be, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), by executing and delivering to the Trustee a Guaranty Agreement.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY] 

7.875% Senior Note due 2020 
 Section 1. Indenture 
 The Company issued the Securities under an
Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2006, between the Company and the Trustee, and Supplemental Indenture No. 4 thereto, dated as of April 12, 2012 (collectively, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Securities include those
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act as in effect on the date of the Indenture. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Indenture. The Securities are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms and provisions. 

The Securities are senior unsecured obligations of the Company initially limited to $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount at any one
time outstanding. 
 Section 2. Redemption 
 Except as set forth below and subject to compliance with Article Twelve of the Indenture, the Company shall not be entitled to redeem the Securities at its option. 

The Company may redeem the Securities at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after March 30,
2016, at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption date), plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on March 30 of the years set forth below: 
  

					
	 Period
	  	Redemption Price	 
	 2016
	  	 	103.938	% 
	 2017
	  	 	101.969	% 
	 2018 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 The Company may redeem the Securities at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time prior to March 30, 2016, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus the Applicable Premium as of, and any accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
installments of interest on Securities that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date.
The redemption price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

  
 A-9









 “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any Security on any redemption date,
the greater of: 
 (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Security; and 

(2) the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of such Security at
March 30, 2016 (such redemption price being described in Section 2.08(b)), plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such Security through March 30, 2016 (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date),
computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (b) the principal amount of such Security. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, as of any redemption date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published
statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to
constant maturity under the heading “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after March 30, 2016, yields for the two published
maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such
release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield-to-maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated
using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the
redemption date. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment
Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities from the redemption date to March 30, 2016, that would be utilized at the time of selection in accordance with customary financial practice in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of a maturity most nearly equal to March 30, 2016. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means
(1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker is unable to obtain five such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations obtained by the Independent Investment Banker. 

  
 A-10









 “Independent Investment Banker” means either Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P.
Morgan Securities LLC or Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and their respective successors, or, if all of the foregoing firms are unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment
banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee after approval by the Company. 
 “Reference Treasury
Dealer” means (1) each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall
cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any three other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the
Independent Investment Banker after consultation with the Company. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means,
with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 
 Section 3. Repurchase Upon Change of Control  
 If a Change of Control
occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities as provided in Section 2 above, the Company shall make an offer to each Securityholder to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000) of that
Securityholder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities repurchased to the date of purchase. Within 30 days
following any Change of Control or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Securityholder, with a copy to the Trustee,
describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Securities on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than
60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control occurring on or prior to the payment
date specified in the notice. 
 The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the
extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 3, or the Indenture by virtue of such conflict. 

  
 A-11









 The Company shall, to the extent lawful: 

 

	 	•	 	 on the Change of Control payment date, accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered pursuant to the aforementioned
offer; 


  

	 	•	 	 at any time on or prior to the Change of Control payment date, deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect
of all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered; and 


  

	 	•	 	 on the Change of Control payment date or the Business Day immediately following such date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the
Securities properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities being purchased by the Company. 



The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Securityholder of Securities properly tendered the purchase price for the Securities, and the
Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Securityholder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities surrendered; provided, that each new Security will be
in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount. 
 The Company shall not be required to
make an offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases
all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any
of the following: 
 (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or
consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets and those of its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” or “group” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries; 
 (2) the adoption of a plan
relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution; 
 (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board
of Directors are not Continuing Directors of the Company; or 

  
 A-12









 (4) the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions (including,
without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares. 

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Board of Directors of the Company who
(1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Securities or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members
of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director). 

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any Person, Capital Stock of any class or kind the holders of which are ordinarily, in
the absence of contingencies, entitled to vote for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such Person, even if the right so to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency. 

Section 4. Sinking Fund 
 The Securities are not subject to any sinking fund. 
 Section 5.
Guaranty 
 The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Securities is fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Supplemental Indenture. 
 Section 6. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 
 The Securities are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Securityholder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and
the Trustee may require a Securityholder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange
any Securities selected for redemption or to transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed. 

Section 7. Persons Deemed Owners 
 The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

  
 A-13









 Section 8. Unclaimed Money 

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back
to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment. 

Section 9. Discharge and Defeasance 
 Subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the
Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 
 Section 10. Trustee Dealings with the Company 
 Subject to certain
limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or
its affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
 Section 11. No Recourse Against Others 
 A director, officer, employee
or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a
Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
 Section 12. Authentication 
 This Security shall not be valid until an
authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security. 
 Section 13. Governing Law 
 THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 

  
 A-14









 Section 14. CUSIP Numbers 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP
numbers to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities
or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

Section 15. Indenture 
 The Company will furnish to any Securityholder upon written request and without charge to the Securityholder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the text of this Security. 

Section 16. Reports 
 To the extent required to permit Securityholders (other than the Company’s affiliates and affiliates of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors) to sell their Securities without registration under the
Securities Act, the Company will make publicly available the information concerning the Company specified in Rule 144(c)(2) under the Securities Act.
