APPEARING ON THIS NOTE IS COMPLETED AND DELIVERED BY THE TRANSFEROR TO THE TRUSTEE. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF A HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.” 
 Each Global Note, whether or not an Exchange Note, shall also bear the following legend on the face thereof: 
 “UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION
OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY OR SUCH OTHER REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS 

  

 -32- 








 
IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY
PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. 
 TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE
LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF CEDE & CO. OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.08 OF THE INDENTURE.” 
 Section 2.03 Execution, Authentication and Denominations.
Subject to Article Four and applicable law, the aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Notes shall be executed by an Officer of the Company. The signature of the
Officer on the Notes may be by facsimile or manual signature in the name and on behalf of the Company. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on
a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee or authenticating agent authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or authenticating agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

 At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Indenture, the Trustee or an authenticating agent shall upon receipt of a
Company Order authenticate for original issue Global Notes in the aggregate principal amount specified in such Company Order; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of
the Company in connection with such authentication of Notes. Such Company Order shall specify the amount of Global Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and, in case of an issuance of
Notes pursuant to Section 2.15, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Article Four. 
 The Trustee may
appoint an authenticating agent to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such authenticating
agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. 
 The Notes shall be
issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple thereof. 
 Section 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where
Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect 

  

 -33- 








 
of the Notes and this Indenture may be served, which shall be in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The Company shall cause the Registrar to
keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Security Register”). The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The
Company may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents. 
 The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency
agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent
and any change in the address of such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and/or agent for service of notices and demands, the Trustee shall act as such Registrar, Paying Agent and/or agent for service of notices and
demands. The Company may remove any Agent upon written notice to such Agent and the Trustee; provided that no such removal shall become effective until (i) the acceptance of an appointment by a successor Agent to such Agent as evidenced
by an appropriate agency agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Agent and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as such Agent until the appointment of a successor Agent in
accordance with clause (i) of this proviso. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar, and/or agent for service of notice and demands. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent, and agent for service of notice and demands. The Trustee shall preserve in as
current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee
as of each Regular Record Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request the names and addresses of Holders as they appear in the Security Register, including the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each Holder. At the
option of the Company, payment of principal and interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Holders as such address appears in the Security Register. 
 Section 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Notes, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent
shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other
obligor on the Notes), and such Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by
it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to
account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of
any principal of, premium, if any, or interest 

  

 -34- 








 
on the Notes, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such principal of, premium, if any,
or interest so becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act. 
 Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. A Holder may transfer a Note only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the
proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such registration of transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the
transfer by the Registrar in the Security Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as provided herein, the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company shall treat the person in whose name the Note is registered as the
owner thereof for all purposes whether or not the Note shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such
Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall
be required to be reflected in a book entry. When Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations (including
an exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes), the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including that such Notes are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder); provided that no exchanges of Notes for Exchange
Notes shall occur until a Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC and that any Notes that are exchanged for Exchange Notes shall be cancelled by the Trustee. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.08 or
9.04). 
 The Registrar shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption under Section 3.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 Section 2.07 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. (a) The U.S. Global Note and Offshore Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Notes or the
nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.02. 
  

 -35- 








 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights
under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. 
 (b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their
respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.08. In addition, U.S. Physical Notes and Offshore
Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the U.S. Global Note or the Offshore Global Note, respectively, (i)(A) if the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for the U.S. Global Note or the Offshore Global Note, as the case may be, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, or (B) the Depositary has ceased to be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of U.S. Physical Notes and Offshore Physical Notes, (iii) if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request therefor from the Depositary or (iv) in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.08. 
 (c) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the other Global
Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial
interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 
 (d) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the
beneficial interests in the U.S. Global Note or Offshore Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.07, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the
principal amount of the U.S. Global Note or Offshore Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the U.S. Global Note or Offshore Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, one or more U.S. Physical Notes or Offshore Physical Notes, as the case may be, of like tenor and amount. 
 (e) In connection with the transfer of the entire U.S. Global Note or Offshore Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.07, the U.S. Global Note or Offshore Global Note, as the
case may be, shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for
its beneficial interest in the U.S. Global Note or Offshore Global Note, as the case may be, an equal aggregate principal amount of U.S. Physical Notes or Offshore Physical Notes, as the case may be, of authorized denominations. 
  

 -36- 








 (f) Any U.S. Physical Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the U.S. Global Note pursuant to
paragraph (b), (d) or (e) of this Section 2.07 shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (e) of Section 2.08, bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the
U.S. Physical Note set forth in Section 2.02. 
 (g) Any Offshore Physical Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the
Offshore Global Note pursuant to paragraph (b), (d) or (e) of this Section 2.07 shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (e) of Section 2.08, bear the legend regarding
transfer restrictions set forth in Section 2.02. 
 (h) The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise
authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 
 Section 2.08 Special Transfer Provisions. Unless and until a Note is exchanged for an Exchange Note or sold in connection with an effective
Registration Statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a)
Transfers to Non-QIB Institutional Accredited Investors. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Note to any Institutional Accredited Investor which is not a QIB (excluding

Private Placement Legend, if (x) the requested transfer is after the time period referred to in Rule 144(k) (taking into account the provisions of Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act, if applicable) under the Securities Act or (y) the
proposed transferee has delivered to the Registrar (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto and (B) if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time of transfer is less than $250,000, an Opinion of
Counsel acceptable to the Company that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act. 
 (ii) If the proposed
transferor is an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in the U.S. Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the documents, if any, required by clause (i) and (y) instructions given in accordance with the
Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the U.S. Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
interest in the U.S. Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more U.S. Physical Certificates of like tenor and amount. 
  

 -37- 








 (b) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the
registration of any proposed transfer of a U.S. Physical Note or an interest in the U.S. Global Note to a QIB (excluding Non-U.S. Persons): 
 (i) If the Note to be transferred consists of (x) U.S. Physical Notes, the Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the
form of Note stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the Registrar in writing, that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has signed the certification provided for on the form of Note
stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB
within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Company as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to
request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A or (y) an interest in the U.S. Global Note, the transfer of
such interest may be effected only through the book entry system maintained by the Depositary. 
 (ii) If the proposed
transferee is an Agent Member, and the Note to be transferred consists of U.S. Physical Notes, upon receipt by the Registrar of the documents referred to in clause (i) and instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and
the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the U.S. Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the U.S. Physical Notes to be
transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the U.S. Physical Note so transferred. 
 (c) Transfers of Interests in the
Offshore Global Note or Unlegended Offshore Physical Notes. The following provisions shall apply with respect to any transfer of interests in the Offshore Global Note or unlegended Offshore Physical Notes. The Registrar shall register the

 38 








 (iii)(a) If the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in
the U.S. Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the documents, if any, required by clause (ii) and (y) instructions in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall
reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the U.S. Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the U.S. Global Note to be transferred, and (b) if the
proposed transferee is an Agent Member, upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase
in the principal amount of the Offshore Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the U.S. Physical Notes or the U.S. Global Note, as the case may be, to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Note, if any, so
transferred or decrease the amount of the U.S. Global Note. 
 (e) Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of
transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the
Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private Placement Legend unless either (i) the circumstances contemplated by paragraph (a)(i)(x) or (d)(ii) of this Section 2.08 exist or
(ii) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related transfer restrictions are required in order to maintain compliance with
the provisions of the Securities Act. 
 (f) General. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement
Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. The Registrar
shall not register a transfer of any Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture. In connection with any transfer of Notes, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of the Notes to
furnish the Registrar or the Company such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Registrar shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Company with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions
or other information. 
 The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to
Section 2.07 or this Section 2.08. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice
to the Registrar. 
  

 -39- 








 Section 2.09 Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the
Holder claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided that the requirements of this Section 2.09 are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an
indemnity bond must be furnished that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge such
Holder for its expenses and the expenses of the Trustee in replacing a Note. In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Note
instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.09 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies against the Company and the Trustee with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Notes. 
 Section 2.10 Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those
cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. 
 If a Note
is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09, it ceases to be outstanding unless and until the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on a maturity date or Redemption Date money sufficient to pay Notes
payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue. 
 A Note
does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds such Note, provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes which the Trustee has actual knowledge to be so owned shall be
so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is
not the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor. 
  

 -40- 








 Section 2.11 Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may
prepare and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the
Officers executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged,
the temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes. 
 Section 2.12
Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee (and no one else) shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of them in accordance with its normal procedure. 
 Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use a “CUSIP” number (if then generally in use), and the Company
and the Trustee shall use such “CUSIP” number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such CUSIP number either as
printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes; and provided further that failure to use CUSIP numbers in any
notice of redemption or exchange shall not affect the validity or sufficiency of such notice. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in “CUSIP” number for the Notes. 
 Section 2.14 Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay, or shall deposit with the
Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay, the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. A special
record date, as used in this Section 2.14 with respect to the payment of any defaulted interest, shall mean the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a
Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be
paid. 
 Section 2.15 Issuance of Additional Notes. The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture
which shall have identical terms as the Notes issued on the Closing Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price (including 

  

 -41- 








 
amount of interest deemed to have accrued since the last Interest Payment Date), and amount of interest payable upon a registration default as provided under
a Registration Rights Agreement related thereto; provided that each such issuance must be made in compliance with Section 4.03. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Exchange Notes issued in exchange
for the Notes issue on the Closing Date, any Exchange Notes issued in exchange for any Additional Notes issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any Additional Notes issued pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act have the same CUSIP numbers. 
 With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set
forth in a resolution of its Board of Directors (or a duly appointed committee thereof) and in an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
 (1) the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes; 
 (2) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (3) the issue price and the issue date of such Additional Notes (including the amount of interest deemed to have accrued since the last
Interest Payment Date); and 
 (4) whether such Additional Notes shall be restricted securities and bear the Private Placement
Legend or shall be registered securities and bear no such legend.

 Section 3.02 Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to
redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which redemption shall occur. 

The Company shall give each notice provided for in this Section 3.02 in an Officers’ Certificate at least 45 days before the
Redemption Date (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). 
 Section 3.03 Selection of Notes to Be
Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements, as certified to it by the Company, of the principal national securities exchange, if
any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate; provided
that no Note of $1,000 in principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. 
 The Trustee shall make the selection from the Notes
outstanding and not previously called for redemption. Notes in denominations of $1,000 in principal amount may only be redeemed in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple
thereof) of Notes that have denominations larger than $1,000 in principal amount. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company and
the Registrar promptly in writing of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption. 
 Section 3.04 Notice of
Redemption. With respect to any redemption of Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose

 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (i) the Redemption Date; 
 (ii) the Redemption Price; 
 (iii) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (iv) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent in order to collect the Redemption Price; 
 (v) that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the Redemption Date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date upon surrender of the Notes to the Paying Agent; 

(vi) that, if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount (equal to $1,000 in principal amount or any
integral multiple thereof) of such Note to be redeemed and that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued upon cancellation of the
original Note; and 
 (vii) that, if any Note contains a CUSIP number as provided in Section 2.13, no
representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

 At the Company’s request (which request may be revoked by the Company at any time prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have
given such notice to the Holders), made in writing to the Trustee at least 45 days (or such shorter period as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) before a Redemption Date, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the name and at the
expense of the Company. If, however, the Company gives such notice to the Holders, the Company shall concurrently deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such notice has been given. 
 Section 3.05 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the
Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender of any Notes to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 Notice of redemption shall be deemed to be given when mailed, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. In any event, failure to give such notice,
or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Notes held by Holders to whom such notice was properly given. 
  

 -44- 








 Section 3.06 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company
shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.05) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all
Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 3.07 Payment of Notes Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given in the manner provided above, the Notes or
portion of Notes specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price stated therein, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such Redemption Date, and on and after
such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption
Date at the rate prescribed in the Notes), such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Note shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the Redemption Price,
together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders registered as such
at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date. 
 Section 3.08 Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of any Note
that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder without service charge, a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of such surrendered Note.

 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City

Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Indebtedness (other than the Notes issued on the Closing Date, and any Exchange Notes exchanged therefor or for Additional Notes, and any other Existing Indebtedness); provided, however, that the
Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness if, after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company would be greater
than zero and less than 5.5:1.0. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary (except as specified below)
may Incur each and all of the following: 
 (1) Indebtedness incurred under Credit Agreements outstanding at any time in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $775 million, less the aggregate amount of all Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales applied to permanently repay any such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.10; 
 (2) Indebtedness owed: 
 (A) to the Company; or 
 (B) to any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however,
that any such Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor owing to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be;
provided, further, that any event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (other than to the Company, another Restricted Subsidiary or the
holder of a Lien permitted by this Indenture) will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (2); 
  

 -46- 








 (3) Indebtedness issued in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to
refinance or refund, then outstanding Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness Incurred under clause (1), (2), (4) or (10) of this Section 4.03(b)) and any refinancings thereof in an amount not to
exceed the amount so refinanced or refunded (plus premiums, accrued interest, fees and expenses); provided, however, that Indebtedness the proceeds of which are used to refinance or refund the Notes or Indebtedness that is pari
passu in right of payment with, or subordinated in right of payment to, the Notes shall only be permitted under this clause (3) if: 
 (A) in case the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantees are refinanced in part or the Indebtedness to be refinanced is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantees, such new
Indebtedness, by its terms or by the terms of any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such new Indebtedness is outstanding, is expressly made pari passu in right of payment with, or subordinate in right of payment to, the
remaining Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable; 
 (B) in case the Indebtedness to be refinanced is subordinated
in right of payment to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, such new Indebtedness, by its terms or by the terms of any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such new Indebtedness is issued or remains outstanding, is expressly made subordinate
in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, at least to the extent that the Indebtedness to be refinanced is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable; and 

(C) such new Indebtedness, determined as of the date of Incurrence of such new Indebtedness, does not mature prior to the Stated
Maturity of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or funded, and the Average Life of such new Indebtedness is at least equal to the remaining Average Life of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or refunded; and provided, further, that in no
event may the Company’s Indebtedness be refinanced by means of any Indebtedness of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (3); 
 (4) Indebtedness: 
 (A) under Currency Agreements and Interest Rate Agreements; provided, however, that such agreements are: 
 (i) designed to protect the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries against fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates and not for speculative purposes; and 
 (ii) do not increase the Indebtedness of the obligor outstanding at any time other than as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates or interest rates or by reason of fees, indemnities and compensation payable thereunder; or 
  

 -47- 








 (B) arising from agreements providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price
or similar obligations, or from Guarantees or letters of credit, surety bonds or performance bonds securing any of the Company’s obligations or those of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to such agreements, in any case Incurred in
connection with the purchase or disposition of any business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary (other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose
of financing such acquisition), in a principal amount not to exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, in connection with such purchase or disposition; 
 (5) Indebtedness of the Company and Guarantees thereof, to the extent the net proceeds thereof are promptly: 
 (A) used to purchase Notes tendered in an Offer to Purchase made as a result of a Change of Control; or 
 (B) deposited to defease the Notes pursuant to Article Eight; 
 (6) Guarantees of the Notes and Guarantees by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Company or another
Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be Incurred by another provision of this covenant; provided that if the Indebtedness being Guaranteed is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Subsidiary Guarantee, then such Guarantee
shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee to the same extent as the Indebtedness Guaranteed; and provided, further, that only the Company and Subsidiary Guarantors may Guarantee Indebtedness
Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a); 
 (7) Indebtedness Incurred to finance or refinance the cost (including the
cost of design, development, acquisition, construction, installation, improvement, transportation or integration and all transaction costs related to the foregoing) to acquire equipment, inventory or network assets (including acquisitions by way of
Capitalized Lease Obligations and acquisitions of the Capital Stock of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent of the fair market value of the equipment, inventory or network assets so acquired, plus goodwill associated
therewith) by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness outstanding at any time may not exceed the greater of $35 million and 3.5% of

 -48- 








 (9) Acquired Indebtedness; provided, however, that after giving effect to
the Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (9) and the related acquisition transaction, either (a) the Company would have been able to Incur $1.00 of Indebtedness under Section 4.03(a) or (b) the
Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio would not be greater than the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such acquisition transaction; 
 (10) Indebtedness under Shareholder Subordinated Notes; and 
 (11) Indebtedness (in addition to Indebtedness permitted under clauses (1) through (10) above) in an aggregate
principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $25 million. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 4.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness due solely
to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. 
 (d) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness
under this Section 4.03: 
 (1) Guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting
Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included; and 
 (2) any Liens granted pursuant to the equal and ratable provisions referred to in clause (24) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” shall not be treated as Indebtedness. 
 (e) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than
one of the types of Indebtedness described in the above clauses, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify, and from time to time may reclassify, such item of Indebtedness and only be required to include the amount and type of such
Indebtedness in one of such clauses; provided, however, that the Company need not classify such item of Indebtedness solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness, but instead may classify such item of Indebtedness
in part by reference to one such provision and in part by reference to one or more other provisions of this covenant; provided, further, that Indebtedness under Credit Agreements outstanding on the Closing Date will be deemed to have
been Incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of Section 4.03(b). 
 (f) Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor will Incur any Indebtedness that pursuant to its terms is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the relevant
Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, to the same extent; provided that Indebtedness will not be considered subordinated or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured to a greater or
lesser extent or with greater or lower priority.

Indebtedness, if applicable, on the relevant Payment Date, plus, in each case, accrued interest (if any) to, but excluding, the Payment Date. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Offer to Purchase, the Company may use such Excess
Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in response to such Offer to Purchase exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the

license or franchise, or the existence of any Restricted Subsidiary, if the maintenance or preservation thereof, in the judgment of the Company, is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
taken as a whole. 
 Section 4.13 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company agrees that it shall pay or discharge and shall

all times; provided that nothing in this Section 4.14 shall prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties or disposing of any of them, if such
discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary having managerial responsibility for any such property, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary.

against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by corporations similarly situated and owning like properties with reputable insurers or with the government of the United States of America, or an agency or instrumentality thereof, in
such amounts, with such deductibles and by such methods as the Company in good faith shall determine to be reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances.

delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.17, for so long as the Company files the foregoing reports and other information with the SEC, the Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports and other information to the Trustee if the Company has filed such reports
and other information with the SEC via the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) filing system or any successor electronic filing system of the SEC and such reports are publicly available. 
 (e) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports,
information and documents shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 4.18 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.
The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that

acceleration and/or (B) the failure to make a principal payment at the final (but not any interim) fixed maturity and such defaulted payment shall not have been made, waived or extended within 30 days of such payment default; 
 (6) any final judgment or order (not covered by insurance) for the payment of money in excess of $20 million in the aggregate for all such
final judgments or orders against all such Persons (treating any deductibles, self-insurance or retention as not so covered) shall be rendered against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and shall not be paid or discharged, and there shall be

which a stay of enforcement of such final judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; 
 (7) a court having jurisdiction in the premises enters a decree or order for

 Section 6.02 Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or
(8) of Section 6.01 that occurs with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written
notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes to be immediately due
and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal amount, premium, if any, and accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in clause
(5) of Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (5) of
Section 6.01 shall be remedied or cured by the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto. If an Event of
Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 occurs with respect to the Company, the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding shall ipso
facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 (b)
The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all past Defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if
(1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived and (2) the rescission
would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
elected by the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 4.17 and for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act will for the
first 120 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Notes. The Additional Interest will be paid
semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date following the date on which the Additional Interest begins to accrue on any Notes. The Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Notes from
and including the date on which such Event of Default first occurs to, 

  

 -66- 








 
but excluding, the 120th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived). On such 120th day (or earlier,
if such Event of Default is cured or waived prior to such 120th day), such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and, if such Event of Default has not been cured or waived prior to such 120th day, the Notes will be subject to acceleration as
provided above. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest upon an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.02(c), the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided above. If the Company elects to
pay such Additional Interest, it will notify the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs. 
 Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the
Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. 
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections
6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by notice to the Trustee, may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default in
the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note as specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 Section 6.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture; provided, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in
personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction; and provided, further, that the Trustee may take any other action
it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes. 
 Section 6.06 Limitation on
Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder unless: 
 (1) the Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 
  

 -67- 








 (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes shall
have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue such remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity
satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request
within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request; 
 For purposes of Section 6.05 and this Section 6.06, the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 316(a) in making any determination of whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Notes have concurred in any request or direction of the Trustee to pursue any remedy available to the Trustee or the Holders with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or otherwise under the law. 
 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder. 

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a
Note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent
of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest
specified in clause (1), (2) or (3) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor of
the Notes for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue
installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07. 
 Section 6.09 Trustee May
File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor of the Notes),
their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such claims and to distribute the same,
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar 
  

 -68- 








 
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower 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 thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee for all amounts due under Section 7.07; 
 Second: to Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Company or any other obligors of the Notes, as their interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This
Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 
 Section 6.12 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then, and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted. 
 Section 6.13 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Notes in Section 2.09, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to 

  

 -69- 








 
the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.14 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 ARTICLE SEVEN 
 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01 General. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the TIA and as set forth herein. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not herein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture

direction; 
  

 -70- 








 (v) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute gross negligence or bad faith; 
 (vi) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 
 (vii) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company personally or by agent or attorney;

Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to the Corporate Trust Department of the Trustee (or any successor division or department of the Trustee) shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such
Default or Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes or by any Holder of the Notes;

right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and 
  

 -71- 








 (xiii) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Company or their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or
the Notes, (ii) shall not be accountable for the Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the Notes and (iii) shall not be responsible for any statement in the Notes other than its certificate of authentication. 

Section 7.05 Notice of Default. If any Default or any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if such Default or Event of Default is
known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c) notice of the Default or Event of Default within 45 days after it occurs, unless such Default or Event of Default has
been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as
the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders. 
 Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with May 15, 2008, the Trustee shall mail
to each Holder as provided in TIA Section 313(c) a brief report dated as of such May 15, if required by TIA Section 313(a). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The
Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or of any delisting thereof. 
 Section 7.07
Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing for its services hereunder. The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of
an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by the Trustee without negligence or bad faith on its part. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense incurred by it without gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the 

  

 -72- 








 
Notes, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its
officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture and the Notes. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for
which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder, unless the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is materially prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the
claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. Unless otherwise set forth herein, the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be required to pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to reimburse any expense or indemnity against loss
or liability determined to have been caused by the Trustee through its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 To secure the
Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to
pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. 
 If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the
occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01, the expenses and the compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable federal or state law for the relief of debtors. 
 The provisions of this
Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall
comply with the provisions of TIA Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 
 Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. A
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 
 The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee if: (i) the Trustee is
no longer eligible under Section 7.10; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of
acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by 

  

 -73- 








 
the Company. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.08
within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after the delivery of such written acceptance, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07, (i) the retiring Trustee shall, upon transfer of its charges hereunder, transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and (iii) the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder. No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

 If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10 or shall fail to comply with TIA Section 310(b), any Holder who
satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 7.08, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section 7.08. 
 The Company shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s
obligation under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.09 Successor Trustee
by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified
and eligible under this Article. 
 Section 7.10 Eligibility. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition that is subject to the requirements of applicable federal
or state supervising or examining authority. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article.

 Section 7.11 Money Held in Trust. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust under Article Eight.

 (B) the Company has delivered to the Trustee (1) either (x) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders will not recognize

times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised, which Opinion of Counsel shall be based upon (and accompanied by a copy of) a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service to the same effect unless there has been a change in

 -76- 








 
States Bankruptcy Code, after one year following the deposit), the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or Section 15 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law; 
 (C) immediately after giving effect to such
deposit, on a pro forma basis, no Event of Default, or event that after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than any Default or
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit referred to in clause (A) above and the granting of Liens in connection therewith), and such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, this Indenture (other than any Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit referred to in clause (A) above and the granting of Liens in connection
therewith) or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

to be an “insider” for purposes of the United States Bankruptcy Code, after one year following the deposit), the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or Section 15 of
the New York Debtor and Creditor Law, (C) the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance of certain covenants and Events of Default and will be subject to federal

the granting of Liens in connection therewith), and such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture (other than any Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be
applied to make the deposit referred to in clause (i) above and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) or any other

with. 
 Section 8.04 Application of Trust Money. Subject to Sections 8.05 and 8.06, the Trustee or Paying Agent
shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, and shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations
in accordance with the Notes and this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request set forth in an Officers’ Certificate any excess money held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years; provided that the Trustee or Paying Agent before being required to make any payment
may cause to be published at the expense of the Company once in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled to such money at such Holder’s address (as set forth in the Security Register) notice
that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein (which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing) any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment

otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case
may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided that, if the
Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the
money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 ARTICLE NINE 
 AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 
 Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders. The
Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Boards of Directors (as evidenced by Board Resolutions), and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without notice to or the consent of any Holder: 
 (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this Indenture; provided that such amendments or supplements shall not, in
the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company as evidenced by a Board Resolution, adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect; 
 (2) to comply with Article Five; 
 (3) to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 
 (4) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee;

 (6) to add one or more
additional Guarantees on the terms required by this Indenture; 
 (7) to grant Liens securing the Notes; 
 (8) to conform the terms of this Indenture to the terms set forth under “Description of the Notes” in the Final Offering
Memorandum; 
 (9) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes; or 
 (10) to make any change that, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company as evidenced by a Board Resolution, does
not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder. 
 Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders. Subject to Sections
6.04 and 6.07 and without prior notice to the Holders, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, when authorized by their Board of Directors (as evidenced by a Board Resolution), and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Notes
with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the
Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes; provided, however, that no such modification, amendment or waiver may, without the consent of each
affected Holder (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (i) change the Stated Maturity of the
principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note; 
  

 -80- 








 (ii) reduce the principal amount of, or interest or premium, if any, on any Note;

 (iii) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on any Note; 
 (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity (or, in the case of a
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) on any Note or any Subsidiary Guarantee; 
 (v) reduce the percentage of
outstanding Notes, the consent of whose Holders is necessary to modify or amend this Indenture or the Notes, waive future compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or waive past Defaults; 
 (vi) waive a default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes; or 
 (vii) release any Subsidiary Guarantee other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver
under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company will mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consent. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing
consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent
Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of its Note. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment,
supplement or waiver shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the last two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only those Persons shall
be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or 

  

 -81- 








 
to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or
effective for more than 90 days after such record date. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every
Holder unless it is of the type described in Section 9.02. In case of an amendment or waiver of the type described in Section 9.02, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent
Holder of a Note that evidences the same indebtedness as the Note of the consenting Holder. 
 Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange
of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver such Note to the Trustee. At the Company’s expense, the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note about
the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue, and
the Trustee shall authenticate, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. 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 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall be provided with, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel complying with Section 11.03 and stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that it will be valid and binding
upon the Company. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall sign such amendment, supplement or waiver if the same does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Section 9.06 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Nine shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect. 
 ARTICLE TEN 
 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

 Section 10.01 Subsidiary Guarantees. Subject to this Article Ten, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby, jointly and
severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or
thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue premium, if any, and interest
on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b)
  

 -82- 








 
in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when
due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, such Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be obligated to pay such amount immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 Subject to Section 10.02, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this
Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the Notes or this Indenture, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce
the Notes or this Indenture or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged
except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by
any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid either to the Trustee or
such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 Each
Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
further agrees that, as between the Holders and the Trustee, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 Section 10.02 Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability. Each Subsidiary Guarantor and, by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that this Subsidiary Guarantee does
not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of United States Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any
Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee and this Article
Ten shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all 
  

 -83- 








 
other contingent and fixed liabilities of each Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor
under this Subsidiary Guarantee to not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of
Subsidiary Guarantees. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its execution and delivery of this Indenture or any supplemental indentures pursuant to Section 4.19 and this Section 10.03 shall evidence its Subsidiary
Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 without the need for any further notation on the Notes. 
 Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation relating to such Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 If an Officer of a Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or any supplemental indenture no longer holds that office at the time the
Trustee authenticates the Notes or at any time thereafter, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 In the event that the Company creates or acquires any new Subsidiaries or other guarantors subsequent to the date of this Indenture, if required by
Section 4.19, the Company agrees to cause such Subsidiaries or other guarantors to execute supplemental indentures to this Indenture and Subsidiary Guarantees in accordance with Section 4.19 and this Article Ten, to
the extent applicable. In addition, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, whether existing on the date of this Indenture or created or acquired subsequent to the date of this
Indenture, that is otherwise eligible to be a Subsidiary Guarantor under the definition of “Subsidiary Guarantor” to obtain all material authorizations and consents of governmental authorities required in order for such Restricted
Subsidiary to guarantee the Notes at the earliest practicable date and to enter into a Subsidiary Guarantee promptly thereafter. For purposes of this Section 10.03, the requirement to use “commercially reasonable efforts” shall
not be deemed to require the Company to make material payments in excess of normal fees and costs to or at the direction of governmental authorities or to change the manner in which it conducts its business in any respect that the management of the
Company shall determine in good faith to be adverse or materially burdensome. The Company further agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Indenture, each such Restricted Subsidiary that does not execute and deliver
this Indenture shall, upon execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 4.19, be deemed to be a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes hereunder (including, without limitation, for purposes of this Article
Ten). 
 Section 10.04 Release of Subsidiary Guarantor. (a) Any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released and relieved of
any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, (i) upon any sale or other disposition (in a transaction that complies with this Indenture) by the Company and 
  

 -84- 








 
its Restricted Subsidiaries of their Capital Stock or other ownership interests in such Subsidiary Guarantor such that such Subsidiary Guarantor immediately
following such sale or disposition ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (ii) upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary in a transaction that complies with this Indenture;
(iii) if the Company properly designates that Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture; (iv) if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option pursuant to Section 8.02 or its covenant
defeasance option pursuant to Section 8.03; or (v) upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company and any
Subsidiary Guarantor that are then due and payable. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that one of the foregoing requirements has been satisfied and the conditions to
the release of a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 10.04 have been met, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 (b) Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, from its obligations
under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in and subject to this
Article Ten. 
 Section 10.05 Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
(other than any Subsidiary Guarantor whose Subsidiary Guarantee is to be released in accordance with Section 10.04) will not, and the Company will not cause or permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge with or into
any Person other than the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor unless: 
 (1) the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than the Subsidiary Guarantor) is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any jurisdiction thereof; 
 (2) such Person assumes by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all of the obligations of such Subsidiary
Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee and the performance of every covenant of such Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture; and 
 (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 9.5% Senior Notes due 2015 
 1. Principal and Interest. 
 The Company will pay the
principal of this Note on July 15, 2015. 
 The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest
Payment Date, as set forth below, at the rate per annum shown above. 
 Interest will be payable semi-annually (to the holders of record of
the Notes at the close of business on the July 1 or January 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date) on each Interest Payment Date, commencing on January 15, 2008. 
 [Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors party
thereto, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will be obligated to consummate an exchange offer registered under the
Securities Act (the “Exchange Offer”). Upon such Exchange Offer, the Holders of Notes shall have the right, subject to compliance with securities laws, to exchange such Notes for Exchange Notes, which have been registered under the
Securities Act, in like principal amount and having terms identical in all material respects to the Notes. The Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to receive certain Additional Interest payments in the event such Exchange Offer is not consummated
and upon certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of such Registration Rights Agreement.]1 
 Holders may be entitled to receive
Additional Interest payments in the event the Company fails to file specified reports and other information with the SEC or to provide such reports and other information to the Trustee. 
 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 July 10, 2007;
provided that, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest and this Note is authenticated between a Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from
such Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 The Company shall pay
interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at a rate per annum that is 1% in excess of the rate otherwise payable.

 The Company will pay interest (except defaulted interest) on the principal amount of the Notes as provided above on each January 15 and July 15 commencing on January 15, 2008 to the Persons who are

exchange after such record date; provided that, with respect to the payment of principal, the Company will make payment to the Holder that surrenders this Note to a Paying Agent on or after July 15, 2015.

mailed within 90 days after the closing of the related Equity Offering. 
 Prior to July 15, 2011, the Company may, at its option, in
whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, redeem any of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first class mail to each Holder’s last address as it appears in the Security Register, at a

	 	    	9.5% Senior Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”) 

 Dear Sirs:

 In connection with our proposed purchase of
$                     aggregate principal amount of the Notes, we confirm that: 
 1. We understand that any subsequent transfer of the Notes is subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Indenture, dated
July 10, 2007 (the “Indenture”), relating to the Notes, and the undersigned agrees to be bound by, and not to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions and the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 
 2. We understand that the offer and sale of the Notes have not been
registered under the Securities Act, and that the Notes may not be offered or sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we
should sell any Notes, we will do so only (A) to the Company or any subsidiary thereof, (B) in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act to a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined therein), (C) to an
institutional “accredited investor” (as defined below) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to you and to the Company a signed letter substantially in the form of this letter,
(D) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (E) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available), or (F) pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and we further agree to provide to any person purchasing any of the Notes from us a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Notes are restricted as stated herein. 
 3. We understand that, on any proposed resale of any Notes, we will be required to furnish to you and the Company such certifications, legal opinions and
other information as you and the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.

 4. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(l), (2),
(3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for
which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. 
 5. We are acquiring the Notes purchased by us for
our own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion. 
 You and the Company are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party
in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
