 INDENTURE dated as of July 31, 2017 between Tidewater Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Issuer”), the Guarantors party hereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, a national banking association, as trustee and collateral agent (hereinafter sometimes called the “Trustee,” as more fully set forth
in Section 1.01). 
 WHEREAS, for its lawful corporate purposes, the Issuer has duly authorized the issuance of
its 8.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”), initially in an aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000, and in order to provide the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are to be authenticated, issued and delivered,
the Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture; and 
 WHEREAS, the Form of the Notes, the certificate of
authentication to be borne by each Note, the Form of Change of Control Purchase Notice, the Form of Notation of Guarantee and the Form of Supplemental Indenture to be borne by the Notes are to be substantially in the forms hereinafter provided; and

 WHEREAS, all acts and things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or a
duly authorized authenticating agent, as in this Indenture provided, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Issuer, and to constitute a valid agreement according to its terms, have been done and performed, and the execution of this
Indenture and the issue hereunder of the Notes have in all respects been duly authorized. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH: 

That in order to declare the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated, issued and delivered, and in
consideration of the premises and of the purchase and acceptance of the Notes by the Holders (as defined below) thereof, the Issuer covenants and agrees with the Trustee for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective Holders from time to
time of the Notes (except as otherwise provided below), as follows: 
 Article 1. 

DEFINITIONS; INTERPRETATIONS 

Section 1.01 Definitions. The terms defined in this Section 1.01 (except as herein otherwise expressly
provided or unless the context otherwise requires) for all purposes of this Indenture and of any indenture supplemental hereto shall have the respective meanings specified in this Section 1.01. All other terms used in this
Indenture that are defined in the Trust Indenture Act or that are by reference therein defined in the Securities Act (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires) shall have the meanings assigned to such
terms in said Trust Indenture Act and in said Securities Act as in force at the date of the execution of this Indenture. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer


  
 7 







 
to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision. The terms defined in this Article include the plural as well as the singular. Unless
otherwise noted, references to “U.S. dollars” or “$” shall mean the currency of the United States. 

“Acceptable Flag Jurisdiction” means each of Brazil, Canada, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, Mexico, the Kingdom of Norway, the
United States of America, the Republic of Vanuatu and such other jurisdictions as approved by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding). 

“Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any specified Person: 

(1) Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged with or into or became a Subsidiary of
such specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Subsidiary of, such specified Person; and 

(2) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person. 

“Additional Covenant” means any financial covenant which requires any Notes Party to achieve or maintain any financial ratio
or metric, including any minimum liquidity or net worth test, minimum EBITDA, net income or other earnings test and any leverage, interest coverage or debt service ratio tests (regardless of whether such provision is labeled or otherwise
characterized as a financial covenant) contained in any Financing Facility that is not set forth in Section 4.10 herein or, if it is set forth therein, is different from the corresponding covenant set forth therein (other
than in respect of differences that are de minimis in nature or differences that the Issuer in good faith has determined would not reasonably be expected to result in the relevant ratio or metric being calculated in a manner that is less
likely to be satisfied by the Issuer than the corresponding covenant set forth in Section 4.10 hereof). 

“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 purposes of this definition, “control,” as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the

writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any

the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent will have no further liability for the money. Upon any bankruptcy of the Issuer, the Trustee shall be the Paying Agent. 

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. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request

 (3) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between an Interest
Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (vi) 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 and interest on such Notes and for
all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (vii)
The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with Section 2.02. 

(viii) 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 facsimile. 

(ix) To the extent that any Notes are issued at a discount to their stated redemption price at maturity and bear the OID
Legend, each group of Notes bearing a given amount of original issue discount shall be treated as a separate series only for purposes of the transfer and exchange provisions of this Section 2.06 and may trade under a
separate CUSIP number. 
 (x) Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any actions
taken or not taken by the Depository. 
 (xi) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or
Indirect Participant or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the books or records, or the acts or omissions, of the Depository 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 or Indirect Participant or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) 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 shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Note).
The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the customary procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon information
furnished by the Depository with respect to its Participants or Indirect Participants. 

  
 48 







 (xii) The Trustee shall 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 Participants or Indirect Participants
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. 
 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes . If any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will
authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied 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 for its expenses in replacing a Note. 

Every replacement Note is an additional 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. 
 Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any
time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled 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, and those
described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 and Section 2.13, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an
Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note. 
 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. 
 If the
principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 5.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 

If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money
sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

  
 49 







 Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling the Issuer or directly or indirectly controlled by the
Issuer or any Subsidiary 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. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Issuer
to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept and rely upon such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all
Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any determination. 
 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. Until
certificates representing 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 certificated Notes but
may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 
 Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of 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 and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement
or cancellation and will destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the Trustee’s procedures and the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the cancellation of Notes will be delivered to the Issuer upon request. 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 . 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 5.01. 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. The Issuer will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted
interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) will send or cause to be sent to Holders a notice that states the special
record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

  
 50 







 Section 2.13 Purchases. The Issuer may also from time to time purchase the Notes in
open market purchases or negotiated transactions without prior notice to Noteholders. Any Notes purchased by the Issuer shall be deemed for all purposes to be no longer outstanding under this Indenture (except that, until surrendered to the Trustee,
such Notes shall remain outstanding solely for the purposes of payment of interest). 
 Section 2.14 Who Are Deemed Absolute
Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, and any Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note
(whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Issuer or any Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of
and accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for conversion or purchase of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such
payments so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall 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 Depository or impair, as between the Depository
and its agent members, the Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary practices of the Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. 

Article 3. 

REDEMPTION 

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption. The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or from time to time in part, subject to the
conditions and at the redemption prices set forth in Paragraph 5 of the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to,
but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 

Section 3.02 Mandatory Redemption. The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund or be subject to mandatory redemption.

 Section 3.03 Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, it
shall notify the Trustee, Registrar and each Paying Agent in writing of (a) the Section of this Indenture and the Notes pursuant to which the redemption shall occur (including the relevant provision of the Notes), (b) the redemption


  
 51 







 
date, (c) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (d) the redemption price. The Issuer shall give notice to the Trustee provided for in this paragraph at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before a redemption date. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Issuer and given to the Trustee. Any such notice pursuant to
Section 3.01 may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 

Section 3.04 Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time pursuant to
Section 3.01, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis (and in the case of global notes, subject to the procedures of DTC), unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange
requirements; provided, that no Notes of $1.00 or less shall be purchased or redeemed in part. 
 Notwithstanding anything else
contained in this Section 3.04, the parties acknowledge and agree that any partial redemption of a Global Note will be made by the Depository among the Beneficial Owners in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Depository and that the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with the selection of Beneficial Owners whose interest in the Global Note will be redeemed or any other actions taken by the Depository in connection therewith, and by accepting
the Notes, the Holders shall waive and release any and all such liability. 
 Section 3.05 Notice of Redemption. 

(a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date pursuant to Section 3.01 (except that
redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Article 12 hereof or a satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture pursuant to Article 11 hereof), the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail (or transmitted otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) a notice of redemption to each Holder
whose Notes are to be redeemed. Any such notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (i) the
redemption date; 
 (ii) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date; 

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

(iv) the provision of the Notes or this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption is occurring; 

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

  
 52 







 (vi) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate
numbers and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption; 

(vii) 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 portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

(viii) the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed; and

 (ix) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number or ISIN and/or “Common
Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 (b) At the Issuer’s request, the Registrar and each Paying
Agent shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Registrar and each Paying Agent with the information required by this
Section 3.05 at least five Business Days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Registrar and Paying Agent) prior to the date such notice is to be provided to Holders in the final form such notice is to
be delivered to Holders. 
 Section 3.06 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with
Section 3.05, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice, except as provided in the final sentence of Paragraph 5 of the form of Note set
forth in Exhibit A hereto. A notice of redemption may be conditioned upon the happening of an event, provided such event is described in the redemption notice, but otherwise shall be unconditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes
shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Interest Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to
the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant Interest Record Date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder. 

Section 3.07 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 12:00 noon New York City time on each redemption date, the Issuer shall
deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money, in immediately available funds, sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any amount so deposited that is
not required for that purpose, except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article 7. 

  
 53 







 Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue
on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. 

Section 3.08 Notes Redeemed In Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall issue and,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note being redeemed or purchased in part in the name of the
Holder thereof. 
 Article 4.

consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Subsidiary to: 
 (i) pay dividends or make any
other distributions on its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Issuer or any 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 shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock); 

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

  
 55 







 (iii) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Issuer or any
Subsidiary. 
 (b) The preceding provisions will not prohibit: 

(i) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to or by reason of an agreement in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date,
including, without limitation, any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in such agreements as in effect on the Issue Date or will not
materially adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to make payments on the Notes when due (as to which a determination in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall be conclusive); 

(ii) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Person pursuant to or by reason of an agreement relating to any Capital

to the Issuer or any Subsidiary; 
 (iv) with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary, any encumbrance or restriction contained in
the terms of any Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was incurred if either (1) the encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant in
such Indebtedness or agreement or (2) the Issuer determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Issuer’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes (as to which a determination in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall be conclusive); 

  
 56 







 (v) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Subsidiary pursuant to an

restrictions with respect to such Subsidiary contained in any such agreement taken as a whole are no less favorable in any material respect to the holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements governing the
Indebtedness being refunded, replaced or refinanced; 
 (vi) in the case of clause (iii) of Section 4.02(a), any
encumbrance or restriction: 
 (1) that restricts in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any

 57

agreements governing Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries permitted to be incurred pursuant to an agreement entered into subsequent to the Issue Date in accordance with this Indenture; provided that the provisions relating to
such encumbrance or restriction contained in such Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, when taken as a whole than the provisions contained in this Indenture or in the Troms Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date or will not
materially adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to make payments on the Notes when due (as to which a determination in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall be conclusive);

materially adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to make payments on the Notes when due (as to which a determination in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall be conclusive). 

  
 58 







 Section 4.03 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or
otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Issuer will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to issue any Disqualified Stock or shares of preferred stock.

incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 
 (i)
Indebtedness consisting of Investments permitted under clause (2) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”; provided that all such Indebtedness owed to any Notes Party by any Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor shall be
pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the Security Agreement and shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, evidenced by promissory notes which shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent
together with a corresponding instrument of transfer on the Issue Date or, if entered into after the Issue Date, within thirty (30) days after the date such Indebtedness is incurred; 

(ii) the incurrence by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in
clause (i)); 
 (iii) Guarantees by a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor of Indebtedness of another Subsidiary that is not a
Guarantor; 
 (iv) Indebtedness of a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor outstanding at the time of its acquisition by the
Issuer or a Guarantor or assumed by such Subsidiary in connection with the acquisition of assets, provided that (i) such Indebtedness was not incurred in contemplation of becoming a Subsidiary, and (ii) at the time of such
acquisition and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist; 
 (v) Indebtedness in
respect of purchase money obligations for fixed or capital assets, and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness thereof; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of all such Indebtedness at any one time outstanding shall not
exceed $100,000,000 and (ii) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result from the incurrence of such Indebtedness; 

(vi) to the extent constituting Indebtedness, obligations in respect of the Permitted Financing Arrangements; 

(vii) Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Sale-Leaseback Arrangements involving the States Tide and the Southern Tide

 59 







 (ix) secured Indebtedness not otherwise permitted by clauses
(i) through (viii) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000,000 at any one time outstanding; provided that (i) such Indebtedness has a maturity date after the Maturity Date, (ii) such Indebtedness shall be
secured by Liens on Collateral that rank junior in priority to those securing the Secured Obligations and such Liens shall be subject to an intercreditor agreement containing terms substantially consistent with the terms in the term sheet attached
as Exhibit F, (iii) the ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered in accordance with
Section 5.06(a)(i) or (ii), calculated after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence of Indebtedness, as if such incurrence had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, does not
exceed 3.25:1.00, and (iv) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result from the incurrence of such Indebtedness; 

(x) unsecured Indebtedness that is not otherwise permitted by clauses (i) through (viii) to the extent the
aggregate amount of such Indebtedness at any one time outstanding does not exceed $50,000,000; provided that no Default or Event of Default exists or would result from the incurrence of such Indebtedness; and 

(xi) Hedging Obligations that are incurred in the ordinary course of business (and not for speculative purposes): (1) for
the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding; (2) for the purpose of fixing or hedging currency exchange rate risk with respect to any
currency exchanges; or (3) for the purpose of fixing or hedging commodity price risk with respect to any commodity purchases. 
 (c)
The Issuer will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor unless such
Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis. 

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, in the event that an item of proposed
Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xi) of Section 4.03(b), the Issuer will be permitted to classify, in its sole discretion, such
item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03 (including splitting such item into multiple
exceptions). The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as


  
 60 







 
Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be
deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.03, the maximum amount of
Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. 

(e) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be: 

(i) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount; or 

(ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness. 

Section 4.04 Asset Sales. 

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale (it being understood that Dispositions of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (including by way of merger or consolidation), will be governed by Section 5.08 and/or Section 6.01, as
applicable, and not by this Section 4.04), unless: 
 (i) the Issuer (or the Subsidiary, as the
case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; provided that any Asset Sale consisting of (A) any Disposition
of a Vessel to any Person that is not the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer for scrapping or (B) Dispositions of any property or assets (other than Vessels) that, in the Issuer’s reasonable judgment, are or have become worn out,
defective, obsolete or not used or useful in the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries shall not be subject to this standard; and 

(ii) except for Dispositions described in Section 4.04(a)(iii), at least 75% of the aggregate
consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Issuer or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents, or any combination thereof. For purposes of this clause (ii), each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(1) any liabilities, as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Issuer or any Subsidiary
(other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and from which the Issuer or such Subsidiary has been released from
further liability; 

  
 61 







 (2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any
such Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 180 days, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Issuer or such Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and 

(3) except in connection with the Disposition of any Vessel, any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clause
(1) or (3) of Section 4.04(b)(iv); 
 (iii) In the case of a Disposition of a Mortgaged
Vessel to a Foreign Subsidiary that is not a Notes Party, (A) the Fair Market Value (referred to in Section 4.04(a)(i)) is supported by an appraisal of such Vessel provided by an Approved Firm within 12 months prior to
such Asset Sale, (B) the purchase price for such Vessel is paid in cash and/or by delivery of an intercompany promissory note (in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto) secured by a mortgage on such Vessel (substantially in the form of the
Vessel Mortgage to which such Vessel was subject immediately prior to such sale), (C) such intercompany note and mortgage are pledged to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in accordance with the Security Agreement, (D) at the time of such
Disposition, no Default or Event of Default exists or would result from such Disposition, (E) the net book value (determined in each case at the time of such Disposition) of all Mortgaged Vessels Disposed of in Asset Sales described in this
clause (a)(iii) shall not exceed $100,000,000 in the aggregate, and (F) if any such Vessel is Disposed of by such Foreign Subsidiary, the Issuer shall cause, and the intercompany note shall require, such Foreign Subsidiary to use the Net
Proceeds of such Disposition to prepay such intercompany note. 
 (b) Upon the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, or any
Extraordinary Receipts, the Issuer shall apply, or cause to be applied, the amount of such Net Proceeds or Extraordinary Receipts so received as follows: 

(i) to the extent such Net Proceeds are received with respect to the Disposition of a Vessel (including the receipt of Net
Proceeds as a prepayment on an intercompany note as described in Section 4.04(a)(iii)(F)), 65% of such Net Proceeds shall be treated as Excess Proceeds and shall be subject to the Asset Sale Offer procedure set forth in
Section 4.04(c); 
 (ii) to the extent such Net Proceeds are received with respect to the
Sale-Leaseback Arrangements, 100% of such Net Proceeds shall be treated as Excess Proceeds and shall be subject to the Asset Sale Offer procedure set forth in Section 4.04(c); 

(iii) to the extent such Net Proceeds constitute Extraordinary Receipts, 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts shall be treated
as Excess Proceeds and shall be subject to the Asset Sale Offer procedure set forth in Section 4.04(c); provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default has 

  
 62 







 
occurred and is continuing, Extraordinary Receipts related to insurance proceeds may be used by the Notes Parties to repair or replace the assets corresponding to such insurance proceeds;
provided further that any Extraordinary Receipts not so used within 270 days of receipt shall be treated as Excess Proceeds and shall be subject to the Asset Sale Offer procedure set forth in Section 4.04(c);
and 
 (iv) to the extent Net Proceeds are received with respect to an Asset Sale other than as described in clauses (b)(i),
(b)(ii) or (b)(iii) above, 65% of such Net Proceeds shall be either: 
  

	 	(A)	within 270 days after the receipt of such Net Proceeds, applied either: 

  

	 	(1)	to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a
Subsidiary of the Issuer and a Guarantor; 

  

	 	(2)	to make a Capital Expenditure; or 

  

	 	(3)	to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or 


 

	 	(B)	to the extent such Net Proceeds are not reinvested pursuant to clause (A) above, treated as Excess Proceeds and shall be subject to the Asset Sale Offer procedure set forth in
Section 4.04(c); 

 provided (x) that to the extent such assets (including Capital Stock)
are acquired with the Net Proceeds of a disposition of Collateral, the assets acquired (other than Excluded Assets) are pledged as Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens) securing the Secured Obligations under, and within the time period required
by, this Indenture and the Security Documents, and (y) that the Issuer and its Subsidiaries will be deemed to have complied with this clause (b)(iv) if and to the extent that, (I) within 270 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net
Proceeds, the Issuer or a Subsidiary has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to consummate any such investment described in this clause (b)(iv) with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to
satisfy such commitment within 90 days after the end of such 270-day period and (II) until such Net Proceeds are reinvested, they are deposited in a deposit account subject to a Control Agreement with
Collateral Agent. However, if such investment is not consummated within such 90 day period then the Net Proceeds will be treated as Excess Proceeds and shall be subject to the Asset Sale Offer Procedure set forth in
Section 4.04(c). 

  
 63 







 (c) Any Net Proceeds treated as Excess Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.04(b) shall be
subject to the Asset Sale Offer procedure set forth in this Section 4.04(c). Upon receipt, and so long as such Excess Proceeds remain Excess Proceeds hereunder, such Excess Proceeds shall be maintained on deposit in the Excess Proceeds Account. When
the aggregate amount of the Excess Proceeds in the Excess Proceeds Account exceeds $10.0 million, the Issuer will, as promptly as practicable and in any event within 60 days thereof (but, unless the Issuer in its sole discretion elects
otherwise, not earlier than the date that is six months after the last Asset Sale Offer was made), make an offer to the holders of the Notes to purchase Notes pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in this Indenture (each, an
“Asset Sale Offer”), up to the maximum amount of Notes that may be purchased out of such Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but
not including, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than such Excess Proceeds,
the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of such Excess Proceeds, the Notes will be
purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes tendered (subject to adjustment to maintain the authorized minimum denominations of Notes). Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of
any remaining Excess Proceeds may be withdrawn from the Excess Proceeds Account and shall no longer constitute Excess Proceeds hereunder. 

(d) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the Asset Sale Offer provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale Offer provisions of this Indenture by virtue of compliance with such applicable
securities laws and regulations. 
 Section 4.05 Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer
or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any arms-length transaction or series of related transactions, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or
guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 

(i) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Subsidiary (as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer) than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; 

  
 64 







 (ii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee: 

(1) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration
in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer resolving that the Board of Directors has determined such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.05 and that such Affiliate
Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer; and 

(2) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration
in excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial standpoint, to the Issuer or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing. 

(b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to
Section 4.05(a): 
 (i) transactions between or among the Issuer and/or its Subsidiaries; 

(ii) transactions between the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries and any Person, the sole affiliation to the Issuer or any of
its Subsidiaries of which is that a director of such Person is also a director of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Issuer or such
direct or indirect parent of the Issuer on any matter involving such other Person; 
 (iii) Restricted Payments permitted by
Section 4.01 hereof and Investments constituting Permitted Investments; or

 65 







 Section 4.08 Payments for Consent; Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. (a) 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 Noteholder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the
terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation
documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an offering of securities to Noteholders by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, an exchange offer) in which a
consent, waiver or amendment is sought, if such offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may offer and issue such securities only to Noteholders who are eligible to
receive such securities in accordance with such exemption from registration, and this Section 4.08(a) shall not apply to any consent or instruction given by Noteholders which was not solicited by or on behalf of the Issuer
or any of its Affiliates. 
 (b) Any consent or waiver pursuant to Article 10 by a Holder of Notes that has transferred or has agreed
to transfer its Notes to any Notes Party or any Affiliate of any Notes Party and has provided or has agreed to provide such consent or waiver as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such Holder,
and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of other Holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar
conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such Holder.

the Issuer nor any of its Subsidiaries will take or omit to take any action which would adversely affect or impair in any material respect the Note Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, except as otherwise permitted
or required by the Security Documents or this Indenture. The Issuer shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, at its sole cost and expense, execute and deliver all such agreements and instruments as may be necessary or as the Collateral Agent or the
Trustee shall reasonably request to more fully or accurately describe the property intended to be Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Security Documents. Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, the Issuer shall, and
shall cause each Guarantor to, at its sole cost and expense, file (or cause to be filed) any such notice filings or other agreements or instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable under applicable law to perfect the Note Liens created by
the Security Documents at such times and at such places as are necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Note Liens or as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee may reasonably request in accordance with the Security Documents and to the
extent permitted by applicable law.

Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds of the Notes for any purpose which would breach the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK Bribery Act 2010, or other similar anti-corruption legislation applicable in jurisdictions where the
Issuer or its Subsidiaries conduct material operations.

Financing Facility, whether or not in effect on the Issue Date, causing it to contain one or more Additional Covenants), (with any of the foregoing referred to as an “MFN Event”) the Issuer shall comply with the provisions in
paragraph (b) below. (b) If an MFN Event occurs, the Issuer shall within 20 Business Days after the MFN Event enter into a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, which supplemental indenture shall add to the Indenture an additional covenant
or covenants (collectively, such additional covenants, the “Corresponding Covenant”) corresponding in all material respects to such Underlying Covenant (with such amendments and variations as the Issuer shall determine in good faith
are necessary or appropriate to give effect to the intention of this Section 4.17). Any supplemental indenture entered into for the purpose of adding a Corresponding Covenant to the Indenture shall provide by its terms that (i) such
Corresponding Covenant is deemed to be included in Section 4.10 of the Indenture from and after the date that the relevant Underlying Covenant has become effective, (ii) without the consent of Noteholders (or further action of any party

 68

Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary, holds as of noon New York City time on the due date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately

 69 







 Section 5.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain an office or
agency where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or purchase and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. 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 shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with
the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office. 
 The Issuer
may also from time to time designate co-registrars in one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. 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 term “Paying Agent” includes any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable. 

The Issuer hereby initially designates the Trustee as the Paying Agent, Registrar, Custodian and the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as
an office or agency of the Issuer for each of the aforesaid purposes; provided that the Corporate Trust Office shall not be an office or agency of the Issuer for service of legal process against the Issuer or any Guarantor.

fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 8.12, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder. 

Section 5.04 Provisions as to Paying Agent. 

(a) If the Issuer shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, the Issuer will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to this Section 5.04: 

(i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal (or the Change of Control Payment, if
applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders; 
 (ii) that it will
give the Trustee prompt written notice of any failure by the Issuer to make any payment of the principal (or such Change of Control Payment, as the case may be) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and
payable; and 
 (iii) that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will
forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust. 

  
 70 







 The Issuer shall, on or before each due date of the principal (or the Change of Control Payment, if applicable)
of, accrued and unpaid interest on, or Applicable Premium, if any, on the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal (or such Change of Control Payment, as the case may be) or accrued and unpaid interest, and (unless
such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action; provided that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit must be received by the Paying Agent by 12:00
noon, New York City time, on such date. 
 (b) If the Issuer shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of
the principal (or the Change of Control Payment, as the case may be) of, accrued and unpaid interest on, and Applicable Premium, if any, on the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders a sum sufficient to pay such
principal (or such Change of Control Payment, as the case may be), accrued and unpaid interest, and Applicable Premium, if any, so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by
the Issuer to make any payment of the principal (or such Change of Control Payment, as the case may be) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall become due and payable. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent without
prior notice to the Noteholders. 
 (c) Anything in this Section 5.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer
may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this
Section 5.04, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment by the Issuer or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Issuer or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such sums. 
 (d) Subject to any applicable abandoned property laws, any money deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying Agent (pursuant to Section 8.07), or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal (or the Change of Control Payment, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, any Note and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal (or such Change of Control Payment, as the case may be) and interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on request of the Issuer contained in an Officer’s Certificate, or (if then
held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, 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, shall thereupon cease.

Subject to Article 6, the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect: 

(a) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective
organizational documents of the Issuer or any such Subsidiary; and 

  
 71 







 (b) the material (i) rights (charter and statutory), (ii) licenses and
(iii) franchises of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries; 
 provided, however, that with respect to clauses (a) and (b)
above, the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer), if the Notes Parties shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Issuer and its Subsidiaries,

(d) Delivery of the reports required by this Section 5.06 to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the
Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which

(the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101.000% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes
repurchased, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Noteholders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless
the Issuer has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, the Issuer will mail (or send electronically if the Depository is the recipient) such Change of Control
Offer by first class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Noteholder to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with the following information: 

(i) a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to Section 5.08 and that all Notes properly
tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment; 
 (ii) the purchase price and 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”); 

(iii) any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 

(iv) unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on, but not including, the Change of Control Payment Date; 

  
 74 







 (v) Holders electing to have any Notes in certificated form purchased pursuant
to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse side of the Notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address
specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(vi) Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such
Notes; provided, that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or electronic transmission or letter setting forth the name
of the Noteholder, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; 

(vii) if such notice is mailed prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating the Change of Control Offer is
conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; 
 (viii) Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will
be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, provided that the unpurchased portion of the Note must be equal to a minimum of $1.00 and integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof; and

 (ix) The procedures determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have
its Notes repurchased. 
 (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent permitted by law: 

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in a minimum principal of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in
excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and not properly withdrawn; 
 (ii) deposit with
the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and accepted for payment; and 

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so properly accepted, together with an
Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer. 
 The paying agent will
promptly mail to each Noteholder properly tendered and so accepted the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new


  
 75 







 
Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered by each such Holder, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of
$1.00 or an integral amount of $1.00 in excess thereof. Any Note so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date. 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 will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered to at the close of business on such record date, and no further interest will be payable to Holders who
tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. The Issuer will notify the Trustee and Noteholders in writing of the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date (which may be satisfied
by disclosing such information in a report filed with the SEC or made publicly available through a broadly disseminated press release). The provisions described above that require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of
Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. 
 While the Notes are in global form and
the Issuer makes an offer to purchase all or any portion of the Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, a Holder may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the Notes through the facilities of DTC, subject to its rules and
regulations. 
 (c) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 5.08, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under this Section 5.08 by virtue of such compliance. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 5.08, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following 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 5.08 applicable to the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption has
been given prior to the date that notice of the Change of Control Offer is required to be given to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.01, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

 Section 5.09 Additional Note Guarantees and Collateral. Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, if either
(a) the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries acquires or creates another wholly owned Domestic Subsidiary or another wholly owned Foreign Subsidiary (other than any (i) CFC, (ii) Subsidiary that is held directly or indirectly by a CFC or
(iii) other wholly owned Foreign Subsidiary the providing of a Note Guarantee by which would result in adverse tax consequences to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries), in each case after the Issue Date, or (b) any existing Notes Party


  
 76 







 
acquires any assets (including as the result of the reinvestment of Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(iv)) that are not subject to a Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to
an existing Security Document, then the Issuer will: 
 (1) in the case of an acquisition or creation of another Subsidiary as described in
clause (a), cause such newly acquired or created Subsidiary to execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to which it becomes a Guarantor, in the case of any acquired Subsidiary, to the extent not prohibited under the acquired Subsidiary’s
agreements existing at the time of the acquisition and not entered into in connection with or in anticipation of the acquisition and provided that if any such existing agreement exists the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
eliminate the restriction; and 
 (2) in the case of an acquisition or creation of another Subsidiary as described in clause (a) or the
acquisition of any assets by an existing Notes Party that are not subject to a Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to an existing Security Document, (A) cause such newly acquired or created Subsidiary or such existing Notes Party to
execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent amendments to the Security Documents or additional Security Documents, and to take such other actions as may be necessary or as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines to be advisable to
grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, a perfected Lien in the assets other than Excluded Assets of such new Subsidiary or the newly-acquired assets of such existing Notes Party, including the recording of a new Vessel
Mortgage or an amendment to an existing Vessel Mortgage to add a new vessel and/or the filing of UCC financing statements in such jurisdiction or such other actions as may be required by the Security Documents or by law, (B) cause such newly
acquired or created Subsidiary or such existing Notes Party to take such further actions and execute and deliver such other documents reasonably requested by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to effectuate the foregoing, and (C) deliver an
Opinion of Counsel with respect to the foregoing, in each case, within 30 Business Days after the date on which such Subsidiary was acquired or created or such additional assets were acquired, in each case, to the extent not prohibited under the
acquired Subsidiary’s agreements existing at the time of the acquisition and not entered into in connection with or in anticipation of the acquisition and provided that if any such existing agreement exists the Issuer shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to eliminate the restriction.

note will be payable upon demand and will be subordinated in right of payment to all existing Senior Debt of the Subsidiary to which the loan is made. “Senior Debt” of Subsidiaries for the purposes of the intercompany notes is
defined as all Indebtedness of the Subsidiaries permitted under this Indenture that is not specifically by its terms made pari passu with or junior to the intercompany notes. The Issuer will not permit any Subsidiary in respect of which the Issuer
is a creditor by virtue of an intercompany note to incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt of such Subsidiary and senior in any respect in right of payment to any intercompany note.

Documents, from time to time, the Issuer will reasonably promptly secure the obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests with respect to the
Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens).

Cash. The Issuer shall cause all cash held by TMII and Foreign Subsidiaries of the Issuer to be repatriated and become part of Collateral and subject to a Control Agreement; provided that (a) Subsidiaries that are not 

Guarantors may retain an amount not to exceed the sum of $100,000,000 plus cash in bank accounts of such Subsidiaries as a result of (1) legal,
regulatory, judicial, administrative or local financial institution constraints on the ability of any such Subsidiary to remit cash to bank accounts of a Notes Party including, but not limited to, currency controls or currency constraints (including
constraints on local currency conversion or repatriation) and the existence of tax disputes or inquiries and (2) disputes with or claims by third parties, including, but not limited to, co-venturers and
marketing agents, provided that such Subsidiary shall repatriate such amounts promptly when and to the extent circumstances change to permit such repatriation and (b) Domestic Subsidiaries may transfer cash to Foreign Subsidiaries for up to
ninety days in any twelve month period for planning purposes in regards to the current year state or local franchise or similar taxes provided that cash pursuant to this subclause (b) is deposited in a deposit account subject to a Control
Agreement with the Collateral Agent or otherwise pledged under applicable law to the Collateral Agent.

 Section 5.25 Dutch Tax Requirements. A fiscal unity (fiscale eenheid) for
Dutch corporate income tax purposes (if any) shall consist of Dutch Notes Parties only, unless with the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 

Article 6. 

MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS 

Section 6.01 Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. 

(a) The Issuer will not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate with or merge with or into or wind up into another Person (whether or
not the Issuer is the surviving corporation); or (2) sell, lease, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more
related transactions, to another Person, unless: 
 (i) either: (a) in the case of clause (a)(1) above, the Issuer is
the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made (in each case, the
“Successor Issuer”) is a corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; 

(ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or the Person to which such
sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents pursuant to a supplemental indenture and amendments or supplements to the
Security Documents; 
 (iii) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and 

(iv) the Trustee has received an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such transaction complies with the foregoing.

 (b) The restrictions of Section 6.01(a) do not apply to: 

(i) a merger of the Issuer with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction of
the United States; or 

  
 84 







 (ii) any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance,
lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Notes Parties. 
 Nothing in this Article 6 shall restrict in any way any
Disposition of any Vessel or Vessels described in clause (a) of the definition of Asset Sale. 
 Section 6.02 Successor Issuer
Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease in which the Issuer is not the surviving company and upon the assumption by the Successor Issuer, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to
the Trustee, of the obligations of the Issuer as required by Section 6.01, such Successor Issuer shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer, respectively, with the same
effect as if it had been named herein as the party of this first part, and (other than in the case of a lease) the Issuer shall be discharged from its obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (as applicable). Any such
Successor Issuer thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Issuer any or all of the Notes, issuable hereunder that theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee;
and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order of such Successor Issuer instead of the Issuer and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be
authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Issuer thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered
to the Trustee for that purpose. Except as specifically provided in this Indenture, all the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer, upon compliance with this
Article 6, the Person named as the “Issuer” in this Indenture or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 6 may be dissolved, wound up
and liquidated at any time thereafter and such Person shall be discharged from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture. 

Section 6.03 Opinion Of Counsel To Be Given Trustee. Prior to execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this
Article 6, the Trustee shall receive, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.05, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (each stating that such supplemental indenture
complies with this Indenture and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with) as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such
assumption complies with this Article 6.

 (2)
results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default

fault of the Issuer or the Guarantors, to maintain the perfection of their Liens in accordance with applicable law; or (3) the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, directly or indirectly, contests in any manner the effectiveness, validity, binding

 89 







 Section 7.02 Acceleration. In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause
(ix) or (x) of Section 7.01(a), with respect to any Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes (including principal thereof, interest, Applicable Premium or other premium, if any, thereon) will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all outstanding Notes (including principal thereof and interest, Applicable Premium and other premium, if any, thereon) to
be due and payable immediately. The Collateral Agent, acting at the instruction of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class, in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture and the Security Documents, may determine the time and method by which the security interests in the Collateral will be enforced and, if applicable, will transfer the proceeds (after payment of the costs of enforcement and Collateral
administration) of the Collateral received by it under the Security Documents to the Trustee for application in accordance with Section 7.10. 

If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity, in each case as a result of an Event of Default
(including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of an insolvency event, the entry of an order for relief against the Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken
together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in a case under title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), the commencement by or against the Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary
or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of a case under a similar law of any jurisdiction, or the acceleration of any portion of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes by operation
of law), the amount of principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium on the Notes that shall then be due and payable shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding plus the Applicable Premium in effect on the date of
such acceleration, as if such acceleration were an optional redemption of the Notes so accelerated. 
 Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of an
insolvency event, the entry of an order for relief against the Issuer in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, the commencement by or against the Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of the
Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of a case under a similar law of any jurisdiction, or the acceleration of any portion of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes by operation of law), the premium applicable with
respect to an optional redemption of the Notes (which, for all purposes of the paragraphs under Section 7.01, shall include the Applicable Premium) shall also be due and payable as though the Notes had been optionally redeemed and shall
constitute part of the Secured Obligations in view of the impracticability and difficulty of ascertaining actual damages 

  
 90 







 
and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be liquidated damages
sustained by each Holder as the result of the acceleration of the Notes and the Issuer agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The premium shall also be payable in the event the Notes or the Indenture are satisfied,
released or discharged through foreclosure, whether by judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE ISSUER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE
OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Issuer expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the premium is reasonable and is the
product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business entities ably represented by counsel; (B) the premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time acceleration occurs; (C) there
has been a course of conduct between Holders and the Issuer giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the premium; and (D) the Issuer shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in
this paragraph. The Issuer expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the premium to Holders as herein described is a material inducement to Holders to purchase the Notes. 

Section 7.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to
collect the payment of principal, Applicable Premium or other premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes Documents. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay
or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 7.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or
Event of Default in the payment of the principal, interest or premium (including any Applicable Premium) on the Notes; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration, other than an acceleration resulting from an Event of Default specified in clause (i) of
Section 7.01(a) (including the consequences thereof) which may be rescinded only by Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

  
 91 







 Section 7.05 Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Noteholders or that may subject the Trustee to personal liability or expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Trustee shall have the right to select and retain counsel of its choosing to represent it in any such proceedings. 
 Section 7.06
Limitation on Suits. A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: 
 (a) such Holder gives to
the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the
request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (e) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 
 A Holder of a
Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 

Section 7.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of
any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, Applicable Premium or other premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 7.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in
Section 7.01(a)(i) occurs and is continuing, without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding related thereto, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Issuer and Guarantors for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining 

  
 92 







 
unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and Collateral Agent (including without limitation any amounts due to the Trustee and Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.08 hereof), each
of their agents and counsel. 
 Section 7.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, and their 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), its or their creditors or its or their property and shall
be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee and Collateral any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee and Collateral Agent, as applicable, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and Collateral Agent under Section 8.08. 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 8.08 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason payment of the same shall
be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization
or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 7.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 7, it
shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 
 First: to the payment of amounts due to the Trustee and
Collateral Agent under Section 8.08; 
 Second: to the payment of any accrued interest due but unpaid under the
Notes; 
 Third: to the payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under the Notes; 

  
 93 







 Fourth: to the payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the
Notes Documents; and 
 Fifth: any surplus Collateral or proceeds then remaining will be returned to the Issuer, the
applicable Guarantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 The Trustee may
fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 7.10. 

Section 7.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 7.11
does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 7.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 

Article 8. 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 

Section 8.01 Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived)
and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this
Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered (and if requested, provided) an indemnity or security, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, against the loss, liability or expenses that might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

  
 94 







 No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its
own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (a) prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred: 
 (i) the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of bad
faith and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein); 

(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless
it shall be proved in a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision that the Trustee acted with willful misconduct or in bad faith or was grossly negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; 
 (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to the terms hereof; 
 (d) whether or not therein provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to this Section 8.01; 

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters
relating to payment) or notice effected by the Issuer or any Paying Agent or any records maintained by any co-registrar with respect to the Notes; 

(f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to
the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred, unless such Responsible Officer of the Trustee had actual knowledge of such event; 

(g) in the absence of written investment direction from the Issuer, all cash received by the Trustee shall be placed in a non-interest bearing trust account, and in no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for 

  
 95 







 
investment losses incurred thereon or for losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such investment prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investments
prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investment to provide timely written investment direction, and the Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of such written
investment direction from the Issuer; 
 (h) in the event that the Trustee is also acting as Custodian, Registrar, Paying Agent, Collateral

continuing and is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holders of the Notes notice of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, the Trustee may
withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in the Holders’ interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or
premium.

faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

of the names and addresses of the Noteholders as of a date not more than fifteen (15) days (or such other date as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to so provide any such notices) prior to the time such information is furnished,
except that no such list need be furnished so long as the Trustee is acting as Registrar.

 98 







 Section 8.07 Monies to Be Held in Trust. All monies received by the Trustee shall,
until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time by the Issuer and the Trustee. 

Section 8.08 Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee and Collateral Agent from
time to time, and each of the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to in writing between the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Issuer, and the Issuer will pay or reimburse each of the Trustee and Collateral Agent upon its request for all reasonable and documented
expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture in any capacity thereunder (including the reasonable compensation and
the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall have been proven in a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision to have been caused by its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and Collateral Agent in any capacity under this Indenture and
any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (including taxes other than taxes based on the
income of the Trustee or Collateral Agent) incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined in a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision on the
part of the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, its officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
trust or in any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim of liability in the premises and the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 8.08) and the other
Notes Documents. The Issuer will defend any such claim and the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as applicable, will cooperate in the defense. Each of the Trustee and Collateral Agent may have separate counsel, and the Issuer will pay the reasonable and
documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 8.08 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and Collateral Agent and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and Collateral Agent for
expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a lien to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except, subject to the effect of Section 7.10, funds
held in trust herewith for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes. The Trustee’s and Collateral Agent’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 8.08 shall not be subordinated even
though the Notes may be so subordinated. The obligation of the Issuer under this Section 8.08 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge or termination for any reason of 

  
 99 







 
this Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Debtor Relief Law, and the earlier resignation or removal or the Trustee. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made
without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification provided in this Section 8.08 shall extend to the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Trustee and Collateral Agent.

 Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee and its agents and any
authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(a)(ix) or (x) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws. 
 The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of
Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 
 Section 8.09 Officer’s Certificate as
Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be
conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Officer’s Certificate, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant
to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 
 Section 8.10
Conflicting Interests of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such
conflicting interest, or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act. 

Section 8.11 Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.11, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section 8.11, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article 8. 

  
 100 







 Section 8.12 Resignation or Removal of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and by giving notice thereof to the
Noteholders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of
Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within sixty (60) days after the
giving of such notice of resignation to the Noteholders, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Issuer and upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Issuer and the Noteholders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to Section 7.11, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. 

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: 

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 8.10 within a reasonable time after written
request therefor by the Issuer or by any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months; or 

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with Section 8.11 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Noteholder; or 
 (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, the Issuer may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to
Section 7.11, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. 

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and
nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within ten (10) days after notice to the Issuer of such nomination the Issuer objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Noteholder, upon
the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 8.12(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. 

  
 101 







 (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to
this Section 8.12 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.13. 

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any resignation or removal of the Trustee is not effective with respect to its rights and
obligations under the Parallel Debt in its capacity as Collateral Agent until such rights and obligations have been assigned to and assumed by the successor Trustee in its capacity as Collateral Agent. The Trustee will reasonably cooperate in
assigning its rights under the Parallel Debt to any such successor Trustee and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under any Dutch law governed Security Document to such successor Trustee all at the cost and expense of the Issuer.

 Section 8.13 Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in
Section 8.12 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall
become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to Section 8.08, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly
vesting in and conferring to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee
as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to Section 8.08. 

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.13 unless at the time of such acceptance
such successor trustee shall be qualified under Section 8.10 and be eligible under Section 8.11. 

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.13, each of the Issuer and the
successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Noteholders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. If the
Issuer fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Issuer. 

  
 102 







 Section 8.14 Succession by Merger, Etc. Any corporation or other entity into which
the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that in the case of any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such corporation or other entity shall be qualified
under Section 8.10 and eligible under Section 8.11. 
 In case at the time such
successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor
trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent
appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere
in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of
any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. 
 Section 8.15
Limitation on Rights of Trustee as Creditor. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the
collection of the claims against the Issuer (or any such other obligor). 
 Section 8.16 Reports by Trustee. The Trustee shall
transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. A copy of each such report shall, at the
time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which the Notes are listed and with the SEC, and copy thereof given to the Issuer and the Guarantors. The Issuer will notify the Trustee when any Notes are
listed on any stock exchange. 
 Section 8.17 Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Issuer. Any
application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Holders under this Indenture) may, at the option of
the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for
any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date 

  
 103 







 
specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date any officer that the Issuer has indicated to the Trustee should receive such
application is deemed to receive such application in accordance with Section 14.03, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date), unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any
omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in accordance with this Indenture in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. 

Article 9. 
 NOTE
GUARANTEES 
 Section 9.01 Guarantee. 

(a) Subject to this Article 9, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to
each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and Collateral Agent and each of their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the other Notes
Documents or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (i) the principal of, Applicable Premium and
any other premium, interest, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if
lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer and the other Notes Parties to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under the other Notes Documents will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof, and 
 (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally
obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 (b)
The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any
Noteholder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment 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 

  
 104 







 
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 covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 

(c) If any Holder, the Trustee or Collateral Agent 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 either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of
subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the
Trustee and Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 7 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 7, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. 

(e) All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable
manner, their obligations arising under this Indenture. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Guarantee of the Notes such that its Aggregate
Payments exceed its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal
its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such
Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors, multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors
under its Guarantee of the Notes in respect of the obligations guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the
obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or
any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 9.01, any
assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such
Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” 

  
 105 







 
means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by
such Contributing Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee of the Notes (including in respect of this Section 9.01), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing
Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 9.01. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is
made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. Each Guarantor that makes a payment for distribution under its Guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on adjusted net assets of each Guarantor. Each
Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 9.01. 

Section 9.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that
it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, or voidable preference, for purposes of applicable Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state or foreign law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee or to give rise to any liability for any director or member of any board of directors, supervisory board or analogous board
or body of any Guarantor. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after
giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on
behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 9, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, voidable preference,
or a transaction at an undervalue or unlawful financial assistance or otherwise cause the Guarantor to be insolvent or in breach of applicable capital preservation rules under relevant law or such Guarantee to be void, unenforceable or ultra vires
or cause the directors or members of the supervisory board or analogous board or body of such Guarantor to be in breach of, or liable under, applicable corporate or commercial law. 

Section 9.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in
Section 9.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers (but the failure to execute such notation shall not affect the validity of any Note Guarantee). 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 9.01 will remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. 

  
 106 







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

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will be deemed to constitute due delivery of the Note
Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 Section 9.04 Guarantors May Consolidate,
etc., on Certain Terms. A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the
Issuer or another Guarantor, unless: 
 (a) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

 (b) either: 

(i) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture and its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture and Security Documents, as applicable; or 

(ii) such transaction is not prohibited by Section 4.04(a). 

In case of any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture,
executed and delivered to the Trustee along with the documents required by Section 14.05, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note
Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit
under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution. 

Except as set forth in Article 4 and Article 6, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and
(b)(i) and (b)(ii) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of
the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor.

disposition (including by way of merger, consolidation or amalgamation or similar transactions) of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a
Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the sale, transfer or other disposition and the application of the proceeds thereof does not violate Section 4.04(a); provided, that such Liens will not be released if such sale or
disposition is to the Issuer or a Guarantor or is subject to Section 6.01; 
 (b) with respect to the assets of a
Guarantor that constitute Collateral, upon the release of such Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

Indenture;

In addition, without the consent of any Noteholder, the Trustee (or Collateral Agent, if applicable) and the Notes Parties will be authorized
to (and the Trustee and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall) amend or, if reasonably necessary, replace, the Security Documents, and to enter into one or more new intercreditor agreements, (1) to add additional secured parties holding,
and to secure any, other Indebtedness permitted by this Indenture to be incurred and secured by the Collateral, and having the relative Lien priorities, if any, to be set forth herein, (2) to enter into intercreditor arrangements with the
holders of any such Indebtedness described in clause (1) so long as the terms of such intercreditor arrangements are not less favorable to the Holders of Secured Obligations than the intercreditor provisions contained in the Security Documents
on the Issue Date and (3) to add parties (including collateral agents, administrative and other agents, trustees and lenders) to the Security Documents in respect of the incurrence of Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens described in clause
(20) of the definition thereof. 
 After an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Issuer is required to mail to the
Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment. 

Section 10.02 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. Except as provided in Section 10.01
and this Section 10.02, this Indenture, the Security Documents, or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the


  
 109 







 
Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing
Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then-outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes); provided, however, that without the consent of each
Noteholder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(a) reduce the amount of Notes the Holders of which must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, give notice or approval or take other
action, direct the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, accelerate the Notes or rescind acceleration of the Notes; 
 (b) reduce the principal
of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes; 
 (c) reduce the rate of
or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest or Applicable Premium, on any Note; 
 (d) waive a Default or Event
of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest, Applicable Premium or other premium on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding voting as a single class and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 
 (e) make any Note payable

 110 







 (k) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions. 

The consent of the Holders will not be necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement,
waiver or consent. It will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, waiver or consent. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Document that has the effect
of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes or subordinating Liens securing the Notes (except as permitted by the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents) will require the consent of the
Holders of 98% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 
 Section 10.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation
before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

Section 10.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or
waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 Section 10.05 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this
Article 10, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee,
the Issuer and the Noteholders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed
to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 
 Section 10.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments,
etc.. The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement to this Indenture and the other Notes Documents authorized pursuant to this Article 10 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or
immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign 

  
 111 







 
an amendment or supplement to this Indenture until the Board of Directors of the Issuer approves of such amendment or supplement. In executing any amendment or supplement to this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 8.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.05, an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the other Notes Documents. 

Section 10.07 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture or amendment executed pursuant to this Article
shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Article 11. 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Notes will be discharged (and all Liens on
the Collateral will be released) and this Indenture will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes and Note Guarantees issued hereunder, when: 

(a) Either: 

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

(ii) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the
mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year 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, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be
sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, interest and Applicable Premium or other premium and accrued
interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 
 (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the
deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material agreement or
instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound; 

  
 112 







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

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause
(a)(ii) of this Section 11.01, Sections 11.02 and 8.08 will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of
Section 8.08 that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 11.02
Application of Trust Money. Subject to Section 12.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and
premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law; provided that, if there is a tender offer by the
Issuer for outstanding Notes that is in progress at the time of such deposit, such money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof may be applied to pay any cash consideration for any Notes validly
tendered into such tender offer and not validly withdrawn. 
 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 and the Notes shall 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 principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or
Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 Article 12. 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 12.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may at any time, at the option of its Board of
Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 12.02 or 12.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in
this Article 12. 
 Section 12.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise
under Section 12.01 of the option applicable to this Section 12.02, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 12.04, be deemed to have been discharged from its/their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Notes Parties will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will
thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 12.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its/their
other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested and prepared by the Issuer acknowledging the same) and
all of the Liens on Collateral securing the Notes shall be released, except for the following provisions of this Indenture which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or Applicable Premium or other
premium, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 12.04; 
 (b) the
Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2, Article 3 and Section 5.02; 

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in
connection therewith; and 
 (d) this Article 12. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 12, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 12.02
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 12.03. 
 Section 12.03 Covenant
Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 12.01 of the option applicable to this Section 12.03, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 12.04, be released from each of their/its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.01 through 4.07, 4.09 through 4.11, 4.17 through
4.19, 5.05 (other than obligations as to the Issuer), 5.06, 5.07, 5.08, 5.09, 5.11 through 5.22, 5.24, and clauses (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) of Section 6.01
with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 12.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that,
all Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes 

  
 114 







 
will be released and with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Notes Parties 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 7.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby.
In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 12.01 of the option applicable to this Section 12.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 12.04, events set forth in Sections 7.01(a)(iv) through (viii) and 7.01(a)(xii) through (xvi) will not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 12.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
under either Section 12.02 or 12.03: 
 (a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust,
for the benefit of the Noteholders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government
Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and interest and Applicable Premium or other premium on, the
outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

 (b) in the case of an election under Section 12.02, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel confirming that: 
 (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a
ruling; or 
 (ii) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance
had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of an election under Section 12.03, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

  
 115 







 (d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit
(other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit or the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing); 

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material
agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents) to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; and 

(f) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 Section 12.05 Deposited Money and Government
Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 12.06, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 12.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 12.04 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 acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 12.04 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 of the outstanding Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 12 to the
contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in
Section 8.07 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the Opinion of Counsel delivered under
Section 12.04(b)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

  
 116 







 Section 12.06 Repayment to Issuer. Subject to applicable 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 of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has
become due and payable shall be paid to the 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 be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all
liability and other obligations 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. 

Section 12.07 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or
non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.02 or 12.03, 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 and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 12.02 or 12.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 12.02 or 12.03, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, 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 of such Notes to receive such
payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 Article 13. 

COLLATERAL

sufficiency, protection or enforcement of any Note Liens, or any other security interest in the Collateral, for the filing of financing statements, continuation statements or other agreements to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security
interest, or any defect or deficiency as to any such matters.

any other Secured Party.

or permitted hereunder and under the Security Documents and all instruments relating hereto and thereto and (ii) to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are, in each case, expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms
hereof and thereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any Notes Party to secure any of the Secured
Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In acting hereunder and under the Note Documents, the Collateral Agent shall have the benefit of the rights, protections and immunities granted to it
hereunder and under the other Note Documents, all of which are incorporated by reference into this Indenture, mutatis mutandis. In this connection, the Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents for purposes of holding or
enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under any of the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions under the Note Documents (as though
such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “Collateral Agent”
under the Security Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture or the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have (x) any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or therein or (y) any fiduciary relationship with any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture
or any Security Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and
protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under the Security Documents in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

(d) Subject to Sections 8.01 and 8.02 and the Security Documents, the Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to), in its sole
discretion and without the consent of the Holders, direct, on behalf of the Holders, the Collateral Agent to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to: 

(i) foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any or all of the Note Liens; 

(ii) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party; or 

(iii) collect and receive payment of any and all Secured Obligations. 

At the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered by each Holder of Notes (by its acceptance thereof) to institute
and maintain, or direct the Collateral Agent to institute and maintain, such suits and proceedings as it may deem 

  
 120 







 
reasonably expedient to protect or enforce the Note Liens or the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent or Trustee is a party or to prevent any impairment of Collateral by any acts that
may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem reasonably expedient, at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, to preserve or protect its interests and the
interests of the Holders of Notes in the Collateral, including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Note Liens or be prejudicial to the interests of Holders or the Trustee. 

Section 13.05 Release of Collateral. 

(a) The Liens securing the Secured Obligations and all security interests created by the Security Documents will be automatically released and
all rights in the Collateral secured thereby shall revert to the Issuer and Guarantors (as the case may be), all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time or from time to time in the following
circumstances: 
 (i) with respect to any property or assets upon consummation of asset sales and dispositions of such
property or assets permitted under Section 4.04(a); provided, that such Liens will not be released if such sale or disposition is to a Guarantor or is subject to Section 6.01; 

(ii) with respect to the assets of a Guarantor that constitute Collateral, upon the release of such Guarantor from its Note
Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture; 
 (iii) as described under Section 10.02. 

(b) The Liens on all Collateral that secure the Secured Obligations and all security interests created by the Security Documents will be
automatically released and all rights in the Collateral secured thereby shall revert to the Issuer and Guarantors (as the case may be), all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time or from time to time
in the following circumstances: 
 (i) if the Issuer exercises its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option
pursuant to Article 12; or 
 (ii) upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 11 or
payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes and all other Secured Obligations that are then due and payable. 

(c) Upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee (subject to its receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel) shall execute
such documents reasonably requested by and prepared by the Issuer evidencing the release, or shall instruct the Collateral Agent to execute, as applicable, the same at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense. 

  
 121 







 Section 13.06 Use of Collateral. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have commenced enforcement of remedies under the Security Documents, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Security Documents, or this Indenture or other documentation governing the Security
Documents or this Indenture, the Notes Parties shall be entitled to exercise any voting and other consensual rights pertaining to all Capital Stock pledged pursuant to the Security Documents and to remain in possession and retain exclusive control
over the Collateral (other than as set forth in the Security Documents), to operate the Collateral, to alter or repair the Collateral and to collect, invest and dispose of any income thereon. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and to the extent permitted by law, all of the rights of the Issuer and the applicable Guarantors to exercise voting or other consensual rights with respect to all Capital Stock included in the Collateral shall cease, and all such
rights shall become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights. 

Section 13.07 Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or
trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 13 and the Security Documents upon the Issuer or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or
trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or a Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by this Article 13; and if the Trustee
or the Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. 

Section 13.08 Voting. In connection with any matter under the Security Documents requiring a vote of the Noteholders, the
Noteholders shall be treated as a single class, and the Noteholders shall cast their votes in accordance with this Indenture. The amount of the Notes to be voted by the Holders will equal the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes.
Following and in accordance with the outcome of the applicable vote under this Indenture, the Trustee shall vote the total amount of the Notes as a block in respect of any vote under the Security Documents. 

Section 13.09 Recordings and Opinions. 

(a) The Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (if other than the Trustee), on or within one month of December 31
of each year, commencing with year ending December 31, 2017, an Opinion of Counsel either (1) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all action necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of the security interests created by the
Security Documents and reciting the details of such action or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given have been taken or (2) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to perfect or
continue the perfection of any security interest created under any of the Security Documents. 

  
 122 







 (b) To the extent applicable, the Issuer shall cause Trust Indenture Act § 313(b)(1),
relating to reports, and Trust Indenture Act § 314(d), relating to the release of property or securities subject to the Lien of the Security Documents, to be complied with. 

(c) Any release of Collateral permitted by Section 13.05 shall be deemed not to impair the Liens under this
Indenture and the Security Agreement and the other Security Documents in contravention thereof. Any certificate or opinion required under Trust Indenture Act § 314(d) may be made by an officer or legal counsel, as applicable, of the Issuer
except in cases where Trust Indenture Act § 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person shall be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected by the Issuer. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.09, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not be
required to comply with all or any portion of Trust Indenture Act § 314(d) if they reasonably determine that under the terms of Trust Indenture Act § 314(d) or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC and
its staff, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of Trust Indenture Act § 314(d) is inapplicable to any release or series of releases of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each of the Issuer and the Guarantors may, subject to the other provisions of this Indenture and the applicable Security Documents, among other things, without any release or consent by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders, conduct
ordinary course activities with respect to the Collateral, including, (i) selling or otherwise disposing of, in any transaction or series of related transactions, any property or assets that is or has become worn out, defective, obsolete or not
used or useful in the business of the Issuer and the Guarantors or otherwise in the ordinary course of business; (ii) abandoning, terminating, canceling, releasing or making alterations in or substitutions for any leases, contracts or other
agreements or instruments; (iii) surrendering or modifying any franchise, license or permit that it may hold or own or under which it may be operating; (iv) altering, repairing, replacing, changing the location or position of or adding to
its structures, machinery, systems, equipment, fixtures and appurtenances; (v) granting a license of any intellectual property; (vi) selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of inventory in the ordinary course of business;
(vii) collecting, selling or otherwise disposing of accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business; (viii) making cash payments (including for the repayment of Indebtedness or payment of interest) from cash that is at any time part
of the Collateral in the ordinary course of business; and (ix) abandoning any property (including intellectual property) that is no longer used or useful in the business of the Issuer and the Guarantors; provided, however, the
Notes Parties’ right to rely on the above will be conditioned upon the Issuer’s delivering to the Trustee, within 30 calendar days following the end of each of June 30 and December 30 of each year, an Officer’s Certificate
to the effect that all releases during such period in respect of which the Issuer did not comply with the Trust Indenture Act §314(d) in reliance on the above were made in the ordinary course of business.

 Section 14.08
Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent, any authenticating agent, any Registrar and their successors hereunder or the
Noteholders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 Section 14.09 Table of Contents,
Headings, Etc. The table of contents and the titles and headings of the articles and sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall in no way modify or restrict

that shall be authorized to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of Notes in connection with the original issuance thereof and transfers and exchanges of Notes hereunder, including under
Section 4.04, Section 5.08 and Section 10.04 as fully to all intents and purposes as though the authenticating agent had been expressly authorized by this Indenture and
those Sections to authenticate and deliver Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the authenticating agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the
Trustee” and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Notes for the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Such
authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as Trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 8.11. 

Any corporation or other entity into which any authenticating agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of any authenticating agent, shall
be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation or other entity is otherwise eligible under this Section 14.10, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the

 126 







 Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the
Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such

notice of such appointment to the Issuer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Noteholders as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Note Register.

agent.

Section 14.14 Consent to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 

(a) The Issuer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State court or federal court of the United States sitting in the State and City of New York, County and Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Indenture or the Notes, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such
state court sitting in the State and City of New York, County and Borough of Manhattan or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court sitting in the State and City of New York, County and Borough of Manhattan. The Issuer further
irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties thereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Issuer at Tidewater Inc., 6002 Rogerdale Road, Suite
600, Houston, Texas 77072, to the attention of General Counsel. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by law.

hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts that are consistent with accepted
practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
 Section 14.16 Currency
Indemnity. U.S. dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by us in cash under or in connection with the Notes, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. dollars (as a result
of, or through the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the Issuer’s winding-up or dissolution or otherwise) by any Holder of a Note or the Trustee in respect of any sum
expressed to be due to it from the Issuer 

  
 128 







 
will only constitute a discharge to the Issuer to the extent of the U.S. dollar amount that the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on
the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that U.S. dollar amount is less than the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the
recipient under any Note, the Issuer shall indemnify such Holder and the Trustee against any loss sustained by it as a result; and if the amount of U.S. dollars so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to such Holder, such Holder will, by
accepting a Note, be deemed to have agreed to repay such excess; and if the amount of U.S. dollars so purchased is greater than the sum due to the Trustee, the Trustee will repay such excess. In any event, the Issuer shall indemnify the recipient
against the cost of making any such purchase. 
 Section 14.17 U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in
accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee and Collateral Agent like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record
information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee or Collateral Agent. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with all such information as it
may request in order to satisfy the requirements or its obligations under such act. 
 Section 14.18 Conflict with Other
Documents. In the event of a conflict between (a) this Indenture and (b) the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the terms and provisions of this Indenture shall control. In the event of a conflict between (x) this Indenture and
(y) any Security Documents, the terms and provisions of this Indenture shall control. 
 Section 14.19 Communication by Holders
of Notes with Other Holders of Notes. Holders may communicate pursuant to § 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The Issuer, the Trustee, the Registrar and
anyone else shall have the protection of § 312(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 14.20 Rules by Trustee and
Agents. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The Registrar or Paying Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions. 

Section 14.21 No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture, loan
or debt agreement of the Issuer or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture. 

Section 14.22 Acts of Holders; Record Dates. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of the Notes may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed (either physically or by means of a facsimile or an
electronic transmission, provided that such 

  
 129 







 
electronic transmission is transmitted through the facilities of a depositary) by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer or the Guarantors. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose
of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer and, if applicable, the Guarantors, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. 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 which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 The ownership, principal amount
and serial numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of commencement of such Person’s holding of same, shall be proved by the security register. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder
of Notes and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer or, if applicable, the
Guarantors in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 The Issuer may set any day as a record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders of outstanding Notes entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or
taken by Holders of Notes, provided that the Issuer may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the
next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of outstanding Notes on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such
record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable expiration date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to prevent the Issuer from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically


  
 130 







 
and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
expiration date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 14.03. 

The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Notes entitled to join in the giving or making of
(i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 7.02, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 7.06(b) or (iv) any
direction referred to in Section 7.05. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of outstanding Notes on such record date, and no other Holders, shall 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 shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable expiration date by Holders of the requisite
principal amount of outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph
(whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite
principal amount of outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Issuer’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by
Holders and the applicable expiration date to be given to the Issuer in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 14.03. 

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the
expiration date and from time to time may change the expiration date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new expiration date is given to each other party hereto in
writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 14.03, 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, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th 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 paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no expiration date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to the Notes 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.

 Section 14.23 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits,
qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under the Trust Indenture Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes
any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 

Section 14.24 Expenses. Without limiting the Issuer’s obligations under Section 8.08, the Issuer will pay the reasonable
attorneys’ fees of one special counsel and reasonable costs and expenses of one financial advisor, each to be selected by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (after providing reasonably satisfactory
evidence to the Issuer thereof), incurred by the Holders in connection with the Notes Documents, including the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under the Notes
Documents, in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with the Notes Documents, or by reason of being a Holder of any Note, in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of any Notes
Party or any other Subsidiary or in connection with any workout or restructuring of the transactions contemplated by the Notes Documents.

 [Back of Note] 

8.00% Senior Secured Note Due 2022 

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 

1. TIDEWATER INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at
8.00% per annum from the date of issuance until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day
(each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date; provided that the first Interest Payment
Date for Notes issued prior to August 1, 2017 shall be November 1, 2017. The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law) on overdue principal and overdue interest upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(a)(iv)(2) of the Indenture) at a rate that is 2.00% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the Notes from
time to time on demand to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace periods), from
time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

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

  
 A-5 







 3. TRUSTEE; PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Wilmington Trust, National Association, the Trustee under
the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. None of the Issuer or any of its Affiliates may act in any such capacity. 

4. INDENTURE AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of July 31, 2017 (the
“Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to
all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling. Following the Issue Date, the Notes and the related Note Guarantees are secured obligations of the Issuer and the relevant Guarantors. The Notes and the related Note Guarantees are secured by a pledge of the Collateral pursuant to the
Security Documents referred to in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Security Documents, the provisions of the Security Documents shall govern and be controlling. The Indenture does
not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. 
 5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

The Notes are subject to redemption, at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than
30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by first class mail, postage prepaid (or transmitted otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC), with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder to such Holder’s address appearing in the
security register, at a redemption price equal to 100.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant regular Interest Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the redemption date). 

6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. 
 The
Notes will not be subject to mandatory redemption or have the benefit of any sinking fund, except as set forth below in Paragraph 7. 

7. OFFERS TO REPURCHASE. 
 (a)
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall be required to make a Change of Control Offer in accordance with Section 5.08 of the Indenture. 

(b) In accordance with Section 4.04 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon
the occurrence of certain events. 

  
 A-6 







 8. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in fully registered form only, without
coupons, in minimum denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any
Notes during a period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a redemption notice for any Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption. 

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

10. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in
Article 9 of the Indenture and Events of Default may be waived as provided in Article 7 of the Indenture. 

11. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency
or reorganization of the Issuer) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all outstanding Notes (including principal thereof and interest, Applicable
Premium and other premium, if any, thereon) to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or certain Subsidiaries occurs, all outstanding Notes
(including principal thereof and interest and premium, if any, thereon) will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice and without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain
circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. 

12. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 
 13. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES. 
 14. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation
promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.
No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

guarantee now exists, or is created after the date hereof, if that default (i) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such indebtedness after the expiration of the grace period provided in such
indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or (ii) results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such indebtedness, together with the

applicable law to be unable to pay its debts as they fall due; or

 Subject to Section 7, should any one or more Events of Default occur and be continuing under this
Subordinated Note as provided above, in addition to all other rights at law or in equity, Payee shall have the right, at Payee’s sole option, to declare formally this Subordinated Note to be in default and to accelerate the maturity and insist

 E-7 







 10. Attorney Fees. If this Subordinated Note is referred to any attorney-at-law to recover amounts due under this Subordinated Note, or to protect the interests of Payee, or to compromise or take other action with regard hereto, Payor
promises to pay the reasonable fees of such attorney-at-law. Payor further agrees to reimburse Payee for all court costs incurred by Payee to enforce this Subordinated
Note.

 14.
Payor’s Waivers. Payor hereby waives presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest and notice of nonpayment, and all pleas of division and discussion. Payor agrees that Payee’s acceptance of payment other than in accordance
with the terms of this Subordinated Note or Payee’s subsequent agreement to extend or modify such repayment terms, or Payee’s failure or delay in exercising any rights or remedies granted to Payee, shall not have the effect of releasing
Payor or any other party or parties from their respective obligations to Payee. In addition, any failure or delay on the part of Payee to exercise any of the rights and remedies granted to Payee shall not have the effect of waiving any of
Payee’s rights and remedies. Any partial exercise of any rights or remedies granted to Payee shall furthermore not be construed as a waiver of any other rights and remedies; it being Payor’s intent and agreement that Payee’s rights
and remedies shall be cumulative in nature. Payor further agrees that, should any default occur or exist under this Subordinated Note, any waiver or forbearance on the part of Payee to pursue the rights and remedies available to Payee shall be
binding upon Payee only to the extent that Payee specifically agrees to any such waiver or forbearance in writing. A waiver or forbearance on the part of Payee as to one default shall not be construed as a waiver or forbearance as to any other
default. 
 15. Indemnity. Payor agrees to indemnify Payee against and to hold Payee harmless from any and all losses, liabilities,
expenses, claims, or damages of whatever kind or nature, including Payee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (to be reimbursed as and when incurred) resulting from Payee’s loans to Payor or the exercise of its remedies under this
Subordinated Note.

Subordinated Note may only be amended or supplemented in writing with the consent of Payor and Payee and as set forth in Section 7(h). 

18. Caption Headings. Caption headings of the sections of this Subordinated Note are for convenience purposes only and are not to be
used to interpret or to define their provisions. In this Subordinated Note, whenever the context so requires, the singular includes the plural and the plural also includes the singular. 

19. Severability. If any term or provision of this Subordinated Note (including interest charged hereunder), or the application thereof
to any person or circumstance, shall at any time or to any extent be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect as written, the parties intend for any court or arbitrator construing this Subordinated Note to reform, modify or limit such
provision so as to render it valid and enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by law. Any such provision that is not susceptible of such reformation shall be ignored so as to not affect any other term or provision hereof, and the remainder of
this Subordinated Note, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term and provision of this
Subordinated Note shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

set-off) relating to the Collateral, as a bankruptcy distribution or otherwise in violation of the Intercreditor Agreement (or not in accordance with the waterfall) shall be segregated and held in trust and
shall be paid over to the First Lien Trustee for the benefit of the First Lien Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsement, and such amounts shall be applied pursuant to the waterfall.

 
 “Discharge of First Lien Obligations” means, notwithstanding any
bankruptcy discharge:
  
 (a)payment in full in cash of the principal of, reimbursement
obligations with respect to and interest (including interest, premium (including any make-whole) and other amounts accruing (or which would, absent the commencement of an insolvency proceeding, accrue) on or after the commencement of any insolvency
proceeding, whether or not such interest would be allowed or allowable in such insolvency proceeding), on all indebtedness outstanding under the First Lien Notes Documents whether or not such amounts are allowed or disallowed vis-a-vis the Borrower;
  



  
 F-2 








			
		  	 (b) payment in full in cash of all other First Lien Obligations that are due and payable or otherwise accrued at or prior to the time such
principal and interest are paid, including all Hedging Obligations (as defined in the Indenture) owing to the Secured Parties; and
  

(c) termination or expiration of all commitments, if any, to extend credit that would constitute First Lien Obligations.

		
	RELEASES:	  	Except in connection with the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, in the event that the First Lien Parties release their liens on all or any portion of the Collateral or any Obligor from its obligations under the First Lien Notes
Documents (i) in connection with the exercise of remedies in respect of Collateral or (ii) if not in connection with the exercise of remedies in respect of the Collateral, so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition of such
Collateral or release of the Obligor is not expressly prohibited by the Second Lien Notes Documents as in effect on the closing date of the Second Lien Agreement, the comparable lien or guaranty, if any, in respect of the Second Lien Obligations
shall be automatically released.
		
	AMENDMENT OF SECOND LIEN COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS:	  	 Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Trustee, no security documents relating to Second Lien Obligations (the “Second
Lien Collateral Documents”) may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent that any provisions therein as so amended, supplemented or modified, or the terms of any new Second Lien Collateral Document, would
be prohibited by, or would require any Obligor to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would violate, any of the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.
  

In the event that any relevant security document relating to the First Lien Obligations (the “First Lien Collateral Documents”) is amended for
the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of First Lien Parties or the Obligors thereunder, then such
amendment shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each comparable Second Lien Collateral Document in which the Obligors grant a Lien on the same collateral, without the consent of the Second Lien Parties; provided, that such
amendment does not materially adversely affect the rights of the Second Lien Parties or their interests in the Collateral to a greater extent than the First Lien Parties in a like or similar manner (other than by virtue of their relative priorities
and rights and obligations hereunder).    

		
	BANKRUPTCY:	  	 In connection with any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding of any Obligor:

 
 •    Filing of
Motions: The Second Lien Parties shall not file any motion, take any position in any proceeding, or take any other action in respect of the Collateral (except Permitted Enforcement Actions), including any motion seeking relief from the automatic
stay.
  
 •    DIP
Financing: If the First Lien Parties desire to permit the sale or use of any Collateral, or to permit any Obligor to obtain debtor-in-possession financing (a
“DIP Financing”) (including from one or more



  
 F-3 








			
		  	 First Lien Parties), then, so long as any Liens on the Collateral securing the DIP Financing are senior to or pari passu
with the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations (or such DIP Financing refinances the First Lien Obligations), the Second Lien Parties shall: (i) be deemed to accept, and will not object or support any objection to, such sale or use or any
such DIP Financing, (ii) not propose any competing DIP Financing, (iii) not request or accept any form of adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith except as set forth below and (iv) subordinate its liens to such
DIP Financing, any adequate protection provided to the First Lien Parties and any “carve-out” for fees agreed to by the First Lien Trustee to the same extent that the liens securing the Second Lien
Obligations are subordinated to the liens securing the First Lien Obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that any form of order submitted in connection with interim or final approval of such DIP Financing shall provide that
the Second Lien Parties shall receive adequate protection as and to the extent the Second Lien Parties are entitled to seek such adequate protection under the Intercreditor Agreement.

 
 •    Sales: None
of the Second Lien Parties shall oppose any sale conducted in accordance with Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code that is supported by the requisite First Lien Parties, and the Second Lien Parties will be deemed to have consented to any such
sale and to have released their Liens in such assets, which liens will attach to the proceeds of the sale in the same order of priority as that in existence immediately prior to such sale.

 
 •    Adequate
Protection, Etc.: No Second Lien Party shall contest (or support any other person contesting) (i) any request by the First Lien Parties for adequate protection, (ii) any objection by the First Lien Parties to any motion, relief, action
or proceeding. based on the First Lien Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection or (iii) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to or for the benefit of the First Lien Trustee or any other First Lien Party (including any
claim made under section 506(b) of the bankruptcy code). However, (a) if the First Lien Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral or replacement liens in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash
collateral, then the Second Lien Parties may seek adequate protection in the form of a lien on such additional collateral or replacement liens subordinated to the liens securing the First Lien Obligations and such DIP Financing on the same basis as
the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) in the event any First Lien Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority
claim, then the Second Lien Parties may seek adequate protection in the form of a junior superpriority claim, subordinated to the superpriority claim granted to the First Lien Parties. No Second Lien Party will assert or enforce any claim made under
section 506(c) of the bankruptcy code.



  
 F-4 








			
		  	 •    Avoidance Issues: If any First Lien Party is required to
disgorge or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of any Obligor for any reason (including on account of being deemed a fraudulent transfer or preference) (a “Recovery”), then the First Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the
extent of such Recovery and the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred. In the event that any Second Lien Party receives the proceeds of a Recovery prior to the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, such
proceeds shall be segregated and held in trust and shall be paid over to the First Lien Trustee for the benefit of the First Lien Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsement, and such Recovery shall be applied in accordance
with the waterfall.
  

•    Separate Grants of Security and Classifications: The grants of liens pursuant to
the First Lien Notes Documents and the Second Lien Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of liens. If it is held that the claims constitute only one secured claim, then all distributions shall be made as if there were separate
classes of secured claims. The First Lien Parties and the Second Lien Parties shall be entitled to vote as separate classes on any plan of reorganization.
  

•    Post-Petition Interest: No Second Lien Party shall oppose or seek to challenge
any claim of any First Lien Party for post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of any First Lien Party’s lien, without regard to the existence of the liens of the Second Lien Parties in respect of the Collateral.

 
 •    No Waiver by
First Lien Parties: No First Lien Party shall be prohibited from objecting to any action taken by the Second Lien Parties (or any agent on their behalf).
  

•    Plan of Reorganization. No Second Lien Party shall be prevented from
exercising its rights to vote to accept or reject a plan of reorganization; provided that no Second Lien Party shall propose or otherwise support (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, voting to accept) a plan of reorganization if:
(i) such plan does not provide for payment in full in cash of the First Lien Obligations on the effective date of such plan, or (ii) such plan violates (or is otherwise prohibited by) the Intercreditor Agreement. It is further agreed
that, solely during the period from the initial effectiveness of the Intercreditor Agreement (the “Effective Date”) until the first date that the Notes are refinanced in full, no Second Lien Party shall propose, vote to accept, or
otherwise support a plan of reorganization that (1) is subject to an objection by the First Lien Trustee or required holders of Notes under the Indenture with respect to the treatment of the First Lien Parties thereunder, (2) does
not provide for payment in full in cash of the First Lien Obligations on the effective date of such plan (unless consented to by the required holders of Notes under the Indenture),
(3) “crams-up” the First Lien Parties, or (4) violates (or is otherwise prohibited by) the Intercreditor Agreement. Any votes to accept a plan by any Second Lien Party that a court of
competent jurisdiction determines by final order were to accept a plan in violation of this provision shall be, and shall be deemed to be, designated under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 
 •    Rights of
Unsecured Creditors: The Second Lien Parties may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to unsecured creditors.



  
 F-5 








			
		
		  	 •    Permitted Enforcement Actions. As used herein,
“Permitted Enforcement Actions” means (i) filing proofs of claim with respect to the Second Lien Obligations (that are not inconsistent with the Intercreditor Agreement), (ii) taking actions to preserve or protect (but not
enforce) its rights in the Collateral (not adverse to the prior liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations or otherwise prohibited by the Intercreditor Agreement), (iii) exercising rights and remedies as unsecured creditors, but
solely to the extent such action would not violate the Intercreditor Agreement, (iv) exercising rights and remedies in respect of adequate protection (to the extent set forth herein), (v) filing any responsive or defensive pleadings in
opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading seeking disallowance of their claims that are not inconsistent with the Intercreditor Agreement, (vi) voting on any plan of reorganization or making filings, arguments or
motions that are not inconsistent with the Intercreditor Agreement and (vii) making a cash or credit bid (which, in the case of a credit bid, provides for the payment in full in cash of the First Lien Obligations); provided, that in no
event shall a Permitted Enforcement Action include, and no Second Lien Party, whether as a secured or unsecured creditor, shall (a) contest or challenge the amount or validity of the First Lien Obligations or any liens securing or purporting to
secure any First Lien Obligations, (b) take any action that a Second Lien Party is prohibited from taking in the “Bankruptcy” section hereof or (c) exercise any rights or remedies against Collateral.
