application of the proceeds thereof) giving rise to the need to make such calculation and any incurrence or repayment of other Indebtedness (and the application of the proceeds thereof), other than the incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness in the
ordinary course of business for working capital purposes, occurring during the Four Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such incurrence or




  
 5 









	 	
repayment, as the case may be (and the application of the proceeds thereof), occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period; and

had directly incurred or otherwise assumed such guaranteed Indebtedness.

calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if such
Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period, and, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any such ratio is exceeded as a result of
fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Company or the target company) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratio will not be deemed to have been exceeded
as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratio shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related
transactions; provided, further, that if the Company elects to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreements, any such transaction shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreements are
entered and outstanding thereafter for purposes of subsequently calculating any ratios under the Indenture after the date of such agreement and before the consummation or termination of such Limited Condition Acquisition and to the extent baskets
were utilized in satisfying any covenants, such baskets shall be deemed utilized, but any calculation of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets or Consolidated Net Income for purposes of other incurrences of Liens (not related to such Limited Condition
Acquisition) shall not reflect such Limited Condition Acquisition until it is consummated.

 (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of
this Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express
provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 (b) Global Notes. Notes issued
in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the 

  
 20 








 
Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the
“Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and

duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. 
 Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. 

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive
evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company in
the form of an Officer’s Certificate (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may
not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of
the Company. 
 Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint
one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents; provided that at all times there shall be only one Note register. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The Company
shall enter into an appropriate 

  
 21 








 
agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the provisions of Section 317(b) of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture
that related to such Agent. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 

The Company initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with
respect to the Global Notes and as the agency of the Company where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. 

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit
of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such
payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment
over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the
benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. 
 The Trustee
will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company
will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and
addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a).

the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. Global Notes may be

 “THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN

 32 








 
IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE
REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.” 

By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Global Notes Legend or the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Note acknowledges the
restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and agrees that it shall transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. 

(h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been
exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11
hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive
Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and
if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be
made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 
 (i) General
Provisions Relating to Transfers, Exchanges and Global Notes. 
 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

(ii) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note
for any registration of transfer or exchange, 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 similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.09 and 9.05 hereof). 
 (iii) The
Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

(iv) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive
Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(v) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required: 

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of any selection of 

  
 33 








 
Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; or 

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date. 

(vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem
and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to the record date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes
and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(vii) The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

 (viii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 (ix) The registered holder of
a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including any Participants or Indirect Participants of the Depositary and Persons that may hold an interest in such Participants or Indirect Participants, to take any action which a
Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or any Note. 
 (x) Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any
responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, any Participant or Indirect Participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Participant or
Indirect Participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in Global Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Participant or Indirect Participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any
notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Global Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Global Notes shall be
given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject
to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Company and the Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, Participants, Indirect
Participants and any beneficial owners. Nothing herein shall prevent the Company, any Agent 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 the Participants and Indirect Participants of the Depositary, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Global Note (including any transfers between or among Participants, Indirect Participants, members
or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to
examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee and the Company receive evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the
Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a
Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of
the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, in case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
 The provisions of this Section
2.07 shall be exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 

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

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that
the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it
ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company)
holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 
 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent,
only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Company, a Guarantor or any other Person pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement
shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes passes to such entity. 

  
 35 








 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 

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

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

Section 2.11 Cancellation. 
 The Company
at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will
cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange
Act). Certification of the disposition of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. 
 If the
Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record
date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause
to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record
date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will send or cause to be sent to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount
of such interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.13 CUSIP or ISIN Numbers 

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

ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION 

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee. 

  
 36 








 If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section
3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 45 days (or shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth: 

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

(ii) the redemption date; 

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

(iv) the redemption price, if then ascertainable. 

and further certifying that all conditions provided for in this Indenture to such redemption have been complied with. 

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 

Any redemption of the Notes or notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent,
including completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate transaction. If any redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, any notice in respect of such redemption shall state that, in the Company’s discretion,
the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be modified or rescinded in the event that
any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, such notice of redemption may be extended if such conditions
precedent have not been met by providing notice to the Holders. 
 In the event that less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any
time, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not then listed on a national
securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that: 

(i) no Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part; and 

(ii) if a partial redemption is to be made, selection of the Notes or portions thereof for redemption shall be made by the
Trustee only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the applicable procedures of DTC), unless the securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed requires a different method. 

Notice of an optional redemption shall be mailed (or to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations with
respect to Global Notes, sent electronically) at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates
to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On
and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, pursuant to this Indenture.

 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail (or to
the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, send electronically), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption
notices may be mailed or sent, as applicable, more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof, as
applicable; provided that notices of redemption shall be given to the Depositary in accordance with the procedures therefor. 
 The
notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state: 
 (i) the redemption date; 

(ii) the redemption price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof; 

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

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

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

(vi) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to
accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (vii) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to
which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness
or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee will
give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the
Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. A notice of redemption mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not a Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or electronically, as applicable, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any
Note shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Note. 
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

  
 38 








 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for
redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 
 Section
3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each redemption date, the Company will deposit
with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price (including the accrued interest and Special Interest, if any, payable in connection with such redemption) for all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The
Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price (including the accrued interest and Special
Interest, if any, payable in connection with such redemption) for all Notes to be redeemed. 
 If the Company complies with the provisions
of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If any Note called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of
the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in
each case at the rate provided in the Notes. 
 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will
authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered. 
 Section
3.07 Optional Redemption. 
 (a) At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to September 15, 2019, the Company may, at its option,
use all or any portion of the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); provided that at least 65% of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes issued remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption. In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the net cash proceeds of any Equity Offering, the Company shall make such redemption not more than 180 days
after the consummation of any such Equity Offering. 
 (b) At any time prior to September 15, 2019, the Company may, at its option on one or
more occasions, redeem all or any portion of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). The Company shall give the Trustee
notice of the redemption price for any redemption pursuant to this clause (b) promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any such calculation. 

(c) Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to September 15,
2019. The Company is not, however, prohibited under this Indenture from acquiring Notes by means other than redemption, whether pursuant to open-market 

  
 39 








 
transactions, tender offers or otherwise, so long as such transaction does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on September 15 of the years set forth
below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date):

 (e) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through
3.06 hereof. 
 Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption. 

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

ARTICLE 4 
 COVENANTS 

Section 4.01 Payment of Notes. 
 The
Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, will be considered
paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay
all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due. The Company will pay all Special Interest, if any, in the amounts set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement and on the same dates, to the same Persons and in the same manner
as ordinary interest on the Notes. The Company shall give the Trustee prompt notice of any Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Registration Rights Agreement, such notice to be contained in an
Officer’s Certificate and to specify date from which Special Interest shall accrue and shall set forth the amount of Special Interest to be paid on each $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Company shall also give the Trustee
prompt notice of any increase in the amount of Special Interest and of any cure of any Registration Default, such notice to be also contained in an Officer’s Certificate.

The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at a rate
that is 1% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Special Interest,
if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same rate to the extent lawful. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of interest on, or in respect of, the Notes, such mention shall be


  
 40 








 
deemed to include mention of the payment of Special Interest to the extent that Special Interest would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights
Agreement and express mention of the payment of Special Interest in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Special Interest in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.  

The Company will maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar)
where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 The Company may also from time to
time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 The Company hereby designates
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof. 
 Section 4.03
Reports. 
 (a) So long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company will file with the Commission, and provide to the Trustee and the
holders of the Notes, the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of
the Exchange Act within the time periods required by law (including any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act); provided, however, that if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, then the time period to file and provide such reports, documents and information shall be that which is applicable to a non-accelerated filer; provided, further, that availability of the foregoing materials on the Commission’s
EDGAR service (or any successor service thereto) shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s delivery obligations under this provision. In the event that the Company is not permitted to file such reports, documents and information with the
Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company will nevertheless provide such Exchange Act information to the Trustee and the holders of the Notes as if the Company were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act within the time periods required by law (including any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) with respect to a non-accelerated filer. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations under
this Section 4.03 for purposes of Section 6.01(iii) until 90 days after the date the relevant report hereunder is due. 
 (c) The Trustee
shall not be charged with constructive knowledge of the contents of the reports described in this Section 4.03 and delivered to it. 
 Section 4.04
Compliance Certificate. 

  
 41 








 (a) The Company and any Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the
TIA) shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to his or her knowledge the Company is not in default in the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what
action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or
Special Interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

(b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after any Officer becoming aware of
any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 4.05 Taxes.  
 The Company
will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such
payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.
 Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.  

Each of the Company and any Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or
in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Company
and any Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.
 Section 4.07 Limitation on
Liens.  
 (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of the Domestic Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against or upon any property or assets of the Company or any of the Domestic Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or
otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom, in each case to secure Indebtedness, unless: 
 (i) in the
case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is expressly subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes or a Subsidiary Guarantee, the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee is secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior
in priority to such Liens; and 
 (ii) in all other cases, the Notes are equally and ratably secured; except for: 

(A) Liens existing as of the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such Liens are in effect on the Issue Date; 

  
 42 








 (B) Liens securing the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee; 

(C) Liens in favor of the Company or any Subsidiary; 

(D) Liens securing Refinancing Indebtedness which is incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness (including, without limitation,
Acquired Indebtedness) which has been secured by a Lien permitted under the Indenture; provided, however, that such Liens: 

(1) are no less favorable to Holders and are not more favorable to the lienholders in all material respects, taken as a whole,
with respect to such Liens than the Liens in respect of the Indebtedness being Refinanced; and 
 (2) do not extend to or
cover any property or assets of the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries not securing the Indebtedness so Refinanced; and 

(E) Permitted Liens. 

(b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to Section 4.07(a) will be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged upon the release and discharge of the initial Lien. 
 Section 4.08 Corporate Existence.  

Except for transactions permitted by Article 5 hereof and the consequences of such transactions, the Company shall do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect: 
 (a) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other
existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary; and 

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

Section 4.09 Change of Control.  

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such
Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including,
the date of purchase. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will not be obligated to repurchase the Notes under this Section 4.09 if it has exercised its right to redeem all the Notes under the terms of Section 3.07.

(b) Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurs, a notice will be sent, by first class mail (or to the extent
permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, sent electronically), to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, 

  
 43 








 
which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days
from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). Holders electing to have a note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the
note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change
of Control Payment Date. 
 (c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: 

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer; 
 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes
or portions of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn; and 
 (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee
the Notes properly accepted for payment together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 

The Paying Agent will promptly mail (but in any case not later than five days after the Change of Control Payment Date) to each Holder of
Notes accepted for payment the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered, if any. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 

(d) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control
Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn under such
Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, a Change of Control Offer by the Company or a third party may be made in advance of a Change of Control and conditioned upon the consummation of such
Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not
validly withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making the Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such
Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 15 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain
outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption set forth in such notice, subject to the right of Holders of record
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 
 (e) Neither the Board of Directors of the
Company nor the Trustee may waive the covenant set forth in this Section 4.09. 
 (f) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule
14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are 

  
 44 








 
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Section 4.09, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of such compliance. 

Section 4.10 Issuance of Subsidiary Guarantees.  

(a) If, on or after the Issue Date, the Company forms or acquires any Domestic Subsidiary (other than (y) an Acquired Subsidiary for so long as
it is not a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary or (z) an Excluded Subsidiary) that incurs or guarantees any Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or other Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount greater than $100.0 million (other than
Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Subsidiary), or if, on or after the Issue Date, any Domestic Subsidiary (other than (y) an Acquired Subsidiary for so long as it is not a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary or (z) an Excluded Subsidiary) that is
not a Guarantor incurs or guarantees (a “Guarantee”) any Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor under the Credit Agreement or other Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount greater than $100.0 million (other than
Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Subsidiary) (“Guaranteed Indebtedness”), then the Company shall cause such Domestic Subsidiary or Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be, to: 

(i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto pursuant to which such
Domestic Subsidiary or Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be, shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms set forth in the Indenture; and 

(ii) execute and deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel (which may contain customary exceptions) that such supplemental
indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Domestic Subsidiary or Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be, and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Domestic Subsidiary
or Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be; 
 provided that this Section 4.10(a) will not be applicable to any Indebtedness of any
Domestic Subsidiary to, or Guarantees of any Domestic Subsidiary given to, a bank or trust company or any commercial banking institution that is a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve System (or any branch, Subsidiary or affiliate thereof), in
connection with the operation of cash management programs established for its benefit or that of any other Domestic Subsidiary (“Cash Management Programs”) or to Indebtedness of the type described in clause (8) or (10) of the
definition thereof (or Guarantees of such Indebtedness). 
 After delivering such supplemental indenture, such Domestic Subsidiary or
Domestic Subsidiary that was not a Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture. The Company may cause any other Domestic Subsidiary of the Company to issue a Subsidiary Guarantee and become a Guarantor.

 If the Guaranteed Indebtedness is pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be pari passu with
the Subsidiary Guarantee. If the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes, then the Guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the Subsidiary Guarantee at least to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness is
subordinated to the Notes. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes provided by a Guarantor will be released
without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder: 

  
 45 








 (i) if the obligations of such Guarantor in respect of incurred or Guaranteed
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or any other Indebtedness that gave rise to the obligation to provide such Subsidiary Guarantee are released, unless such Guarantor has any Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement or any other
Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount greater than $100.0 million, other than Indebtedness with respect to Cash Management Programs or Indebtedness of the type described in clause (8) or (10) of the definition thereof; 

(ii) if (a) all of the Capital Stock of, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Guarantor is sold or otherwise
disposed of (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person other than the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries or (b) such Guarantor ceases to be a Domestic Subsidiary; 

(iii) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as provided below under
Articles 8 and 11 hereof, as applicable; or 
 (iv) upon the Company’s request if the Fair Market Value of the assets of
the applicable Guarantor together with the Fair Market Value of the assets of other Guarantors whose Subsidiary Guarantee was released in the same calendar year in reliance on this clause (iv), do not exceed 10.0% of the Consolidated Net Tangible
Assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP) as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter prior to the date of determination for which financial information is available (subject to
cumulative carryover for amounts not used in any prior calendar year). 
 (c) At the Company’s request, the Trustee, upon receipt of
satisfactory documentation, will execute and deliver any instrument evidencing such release. A Guarantor may also be released from its obligation under its Subsidiary Guarantee in connection with a permitted amendment pursuant to Section 9.02. 

(d) Each Holder and owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes, by its acquisition of the Notes, is deemed to consent to the terms of the
release of Subsidiary Guarantees described in Section 4.10(b) without the need for any further consent, except for the release of all or substantially all of the Guarantors from Subsidiary Guarantees to the extent such release would require the
consent of each of the noteholders under Section 9.02(vii). Each Holder and owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes, by its acquisition of the notes, consents to and agrees that this deemed consent is intended to be the consent required by
Section 316(b) of the TIA with respect to the release of any Subsidiary Guarantee and that the Company and the Trustee may release Guarantors in accordance with this Indenture in reliance on this deemed consent and without any further consent from
them. Each Holder and owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes, by its acquisition of the Notes, waives any and all claims against the Trustee and the Company in connection with the release of any Guarantor from the Indenture. Additionally,
each Holder and owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes, by its acquisition of the Notes, consents to and agrees that any certification by the Company to the Trustee that any release of any Guarantors from their Subsidiary Guarantees does not
constitute a release of all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantees requiring the consent of each of the Holders under Section 9.02(vii) shall be binding on each Holder and owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes. 

Section 4.11 Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any Domestic Subsidiary to, engage in any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless: 

  
 46 








 (a) the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a
Lien pursuant to the covenant described under Section 4.07 equal in amount to the net proceeds of the property sold or transferred or to be sold or to be transferred pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and secured by a Lien on the
property to be leased, without equally and ratably securing the notes outstanding under the Indenture as provided under said section; or 

(b) the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary shall apply, within 360 days before or after the effective date of such sale or transfer, an amount
equal to such net proceeds to (i) the acquisition, construction, development or improvement of properties, facilities or equipment which are, or upon such acquisition, construction, development or improvement will be, a Principal Facility or
Principal Facilities or a part thereof or (ii) the redemption of Notes issued under this Indenture or to the repayment or redemption of Funded Debt of the Company or of any Subsidiary or Indebtedness of the Company or of any Subsidiary that was
Funded Debt at the time it was created, or in part to such acquisition, construction, development or improvement and in part to such redemption and/or repayment. In lieu of applying an amount equal to such net proceeds to such repayment or
redemption, the Company may, within 360 days after such sale or transfer, deliver to the appropriate indenture trustee or other applicable Person Notes issued under the Indenture or Funded Debt for cancellation and thereby reduce the amount to be
applied to the redemption of such Notes or Funded Debt by an amount equivalent to the aggregate principal amount of Notes or Funded Debt.

 ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01 Events of
Default. 
 Each of the following is an “Event of Default”: 

(i) the failure to pay interest and Special Interest, if any, on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable and such
default continues for a period of 30 days; 

  
 48 








 (ii) the failure to pay the principal on any Notes when such principal becomes
due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer); 

(iii) a default by the Company or any Subsidiary in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained
in this Indenture which default continues for a period of 60 days after the Company receives written notice specifying the default from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (except in the case
of a default with respect to the covenant described under Section 5.01, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement); 

(iv) a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or
evidenced any Indebtedness of the Company or of any Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness now exists or is created after the Issue Date, which default (A) is caused by a
failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness after any applicable grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “payment default”) or (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express
maturity (and such acceleration is not rescinded, or such Indebtedness is not repaid, within 30 days) and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which
there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, exceeds $100.0 million or more at any time; 

(v) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $100.0 million not covered by adequate insurance (other than
self-insurance) shall have been rendered against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and nonappealable; 

(vi) the Company or any Guarantor: 

(A) commences a voluntary case, 

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

(C) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, 

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 

(E) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; 

(vii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(A) is for relief against the Company or any Guarantor in an involuntary case; 

(B) appoints a custodian of the Company or any Guarantor; or 

  
 49 








 (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Guarantor; 

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 

(viii) any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary of the Company ceases to be in full force and effect or any
Subsidiary Guarantee of such a Significant Subsidiary is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any Subsidiary Guarantee of such a Significant Subsidiary is found to be invalid or any Guarantor which is a Significant Subsidiary denies its
liability under its Subsidiary Guarantee (other than by reason of release of such Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture). 
 Section 6.02
Acceleration. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(vi) or 6.01(vii)) shall have
occurred and be continuing and the Trustee has received written notice of such Event of Default at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders) specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of
acceleration.” Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(vi) or 6.01(vii) hereof occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, premium, if
any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes 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. 

At any time after a declaration of acceleration or automatic acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph,
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration or automatic acceleration and its consequences: 

(a) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree; 

(b) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because
of the acceleration; 
 (c) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue
principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; 
 (d) if the Company has paid the Trustee
its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances; and 
 (e) in the event of
the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Sections 6.01(vi) and 6.01(vii) hereof, the Trustee has received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Event of Default has been cured or
waived. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. 

  
 50 








 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to
collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on or interest or Special Interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies
are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may waive any existing Default or Event of Default (including in
connection with an offer to purchase the Notes), and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes. Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist,
and any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture.
 Section 6.05 Control by
Majority. 
 Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee
determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.06
Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

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

(ii) Holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the
Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (iii) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (iv) the Trustee does not comply with such
request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (v) during such 60-day
period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over
another Holder of a Note. 
 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

  
 51 








 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to
receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes (including in connection with Notes accepted for payment pursuant
to an offer to purchase made pursuant to Section 4.09 hereof), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or (ii) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest and Special Interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the
extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 
 Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in
any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and any custodian in any such judicial 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 hereof. To the extent that the payment of
any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of
the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.10 Priorities. 
 If the Trustee
collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the
Trustee, its agents and counsel for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest and
Special Interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of 

  
 52 








 
any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, respectively; and 

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

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

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 
 In
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes. 
 ARTICLE 7 

TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this

specifically required to be furnished to it under this Indenture to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other
facts or conclusions stated therein).

any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 

  
 54

Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such
conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

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

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a notice
of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, any Note, the Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. 

(a) Within 60 days after each September 15 beginning with the September 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as
Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA §313(a) (but if no event described in TIA §313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA §313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA §313(c). 

(b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be mailed by the Trustee to the Company and filed by the
Trustee with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA §313(d). The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

  
 55 








 (a) The Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its
acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and
counsel. 
 (b) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee, including its officers, directors,
stockholders, employees and agents, against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its powers and duties under this Indenture, including the costs and
expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee will notify the Company
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the
claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement
made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under
this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 (d) To
secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of,
premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

(e) Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services
after an Event of Default specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

 56 








 (iii) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property;

hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

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

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

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

America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0

 In no event shall the Trustee, in its capacity as such, Paying Agent or Registrar or in any other
capacity hereunder, be liable under or in connection with this Indenture for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable,
even if the Trustee has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought. The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations
under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquake; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage;
epidemics; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; and acts of civil or military authority and governmental action. The provisions of this

 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND
COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and
Discharge. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and

conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding Notes (including the Subsidiary Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below,
and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for
the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (i) the rights of Holders
of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Special Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 

(ii) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration, transfer and
exchange of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment of the Notes and provisions that money for security payments are to be held in trust; 

(iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder including, without limitation, Section 7.07
hereof, and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (iv) this Article 8. 

  
 58 








 Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section
8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 In the event Legal Defeasance occurs, the events
described under Section 6.01 (other than those relating to payments on the Notes as provided above) will no longer constitute Events of Default with respect to the Notes. 

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon
the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each Guarantor will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of its
obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03 and 4.04 hereof (to the extent such covenants are not expressly required by the TIA) and Sections 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and
after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver,
consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not
be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees, the Company may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any
term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees will be unaffected
thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(iii) (to the extent
relating to the covenants that are subject to the Covenant Defeasance), (iv), (v) and (viii) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 
 Section 8.04
Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 
 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof: 
 (i) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient, non-callable Government Securities, the scheduled payments of principal and interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment
of interest, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the Company (which opinion need only be given if Government Securities have been so deposited), to pay the principal of, or interest
and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes to the Stated Maturity or to the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

(ii) in the case of an election under Section 8.01 hereof applicable to Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to
the Trustee an opinion of U.S. tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 
 (A) the Company has
received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 

  
 59 








 (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable
U.S. federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the Holders
of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times
as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (iii) in the case of an election under
Section 8.01 hereof applicable to Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of U.S. tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize
income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (iv) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound (other than this Indenture and any agreements or
instruments governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced, in each case, resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and any grant of any Lien
to secure such borrowing); 
 (v) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the
deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and 

(vi) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that
all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 In the event of Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, the Subsidiary Guarantees in effect at such time shall automatically terminate. 
 Section 8.05 Deposited Money and
Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable
Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes
and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of
principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 

  
 60 








 
hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request
of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(i) hereof (which opinion need only be given if Government Securities have been deposited under Section 8.04)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06 Repayment to Company. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its
request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect
to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company
cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days nor more than 60 after the date
of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.05
hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the
Subsidiary Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.05 hereof;
provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent; provided, further, that neither the failure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to have complied with such revived and reinstated
obligations during the period (for purposes of this Section 8.07, the “Suspension Period”) subsequent to such deposit pursuant to Section 8.04 and prior to such reinstatement and revival, nor compliance by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries with any contractual obligation entered into in compliance with this Indenture during the Suspension Period, will constitute a Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind under this Indenture, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantees.

 ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes. 

  
 61 








 Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the
Company, the Guarantors, if any, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, if any: 

(i) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect in
any material respect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 
 (ii) to add covenants for the benefit of
the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or any Guarantor; 
 (iii) providing for the
assumption by a successor Person of the obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under this Indenture; 
 (iv) to comply
with the covenant described under Section 5.01; 
 (v) adding any Guarantor or a corporate co-issuer under this Indenture;
provided that any such amendment and/or Guarantee need only be executed by the new Guarantor or corporate co-issuer, as applicable, and the Company; 

(vi) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act; 
 (vii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in
this Indenture; 
 (viii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor
Trustee thereunder pursuant to the requirements thereof; 
 (ix) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any
provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum was intended to be a substantially verbatim recitation
of a provision of this Indenture or the Notes; 
 (x) to comply with the Applicable Procedures; 

(xi) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by
this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; and 
 (xii) to
mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant any other Lien in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders, as security for the payment and performance of all or any portion of the Notes, in any property or assets. 

Upon the request of the Company and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02, 9.06, 12.04 and 12.05 hereof, the
Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors, if any, in the execution of any amendment or supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein
contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amendment or supplement that adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not
be obligated to, enter into such amendment or supplement. 

  
 62 








 Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. 

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including,
without limitation, Section 4.09 hereof), the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, if any, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional
Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or
Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been
rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without
limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). 

Upon the request of the Company and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of
Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02, 9.06, 12.04 and 12.05 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amendment or supplement unless such
amendment or supplement adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amendment or supplement.

 It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or
waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail (or to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, send electronically) to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a
notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment or supplement or
waiver. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

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

(ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Notes; 

(iii) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any Notes, or change the date on
which any Notes may be subject to redemption, or reduce the redemption price therefor; 
 (iv) make any Notes payable in
money other than that stated in the Notes; 
 (v) at any time after a Change of Control has occurred, amend, change or modify
the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in relation to 

  
 63 








 
such Change of Control in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof, including amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto; 

(vi) make any change in provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder of a Note to receive payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes to waive Defaults or Events of
Default (other than Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes); or 

(vii) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from any of their obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee or this
Indenture other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 
 Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the
TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, except to the extent that the consent is by its
express terms irrevocable, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.05
Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 
 The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any
Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

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

 Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in
addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such
supplemental indenture constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and, to the extent applicable, the Guarantors (subject to customary exceptions).

 ARTICLE 10 

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01
Guarantee. 
 (a) Subject to this Article 10, each party to become a Guarantor hereby, will jointly and severally, unconditionally
Guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder
or thereunder, that: 
 (i) the principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes
will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest and Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes, 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 

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or performance or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that
same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 

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

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability
of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce
the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to
the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent
theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right
of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof 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 (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable)
will forthwith become 

  
 65 








 
due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise
of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to
any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to
such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee. 

To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary
Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of
its Officers. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on
this Indenture or on the Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. 

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or
acquires any Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.10 hereof, the Company will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent
applicable. 
 ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 11.01
Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 This Indenture will be satisfied and discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes
issued hereunder, when:

Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, have been delivered to

giving of notice of redemption in the name, and at the expense of the Company and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars
sufficient, non-callable Government Securities, the scheduled payments of principal of and interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination thereof, sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the written opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which opinion need only be given if Government Securities have been so deposited), to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes for principal,
premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 
 (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be
paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture, including amounts owing to the Trustee; 
 (iii) the Company has delivered
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with;

apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at redemption; and 
 (v) no Event of Default shall occur as a
result of such deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and the grant of any Lien to secure such borrowing) and such deposit
will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound (other than the Indenture and the agreements or instruments governing any other
Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced). 
 In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel to the Trustee to the effect that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
 Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (i) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, the
provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust
and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons
entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by
reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special
Interest, if any, on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent; provided, further, that neither the failure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to have complied with such revived and reinstated obligations during the period (for purposes of this Section 8.07, the “Suspension
Period”) subsequent to such deposit pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof and prior to such reinstatement and revival, nor compliance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any contractual obligation entered into in compliance
with this Indenture during the Suspension Period, will constitute a Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind under this Indenture, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantees. 

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 11 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request
of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 11.01 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 11.01 hereof (which opinion need only be given if Government Securities have been deposited under Section 11.01)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

The Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee, by notice to the others, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or
communications. 
 The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by e-mail,
telecopier or other similar electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) the party providing such electronic instructions or directions, subsequent to the transmission thereof, shall, if requested by the Trustee, provide originally
executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such instructions or directions. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions or directions notwithstanding such instructions or directions conflict or are
inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction or direction or if the subsequent written instruction or direction is never received. The party providing instructions or directions by e-mail, telecopier or other similar electronic methods,
as aforesaid, agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk

 All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) will be deemed to have been
duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if transmitted by email, telecopier or other similar electronic methods;
and the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery. 
 Any
notice or communication to a Holder will be mailed by first class mail, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery to its address shown on the register kept by the Registrar (or to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC
procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, sent electronically); provided that notices to the Depositary shall be given in accordance with its procedures therefor. Any notice or communication will also be so mailed to any
Person described in TIA §313(c), to the extent required by the TIA (or to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, sent electronically). Failure to mail or send, as
applicable, notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it will not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. 
 In any
case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this
Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by
Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee
receives it. 
 If the Company mails a notice or communication to Holders, it will mail a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same
time. 
 Section 12.03 Communication by Holders of Notes with Other Holders of Notes. 

Any Holder may communicate pursuant to TIA §312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the
Notes. The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA §312(c). 
 Section 12.04 Certificate and
Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. 
 Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under this
Indenture (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Notes hereunder), the Company shall furnish to the Trustee: 

(i) an Officer’s Certificate in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth
in Section 12.05 hereof) stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied; and 

(ii) an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth in

obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note
waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. 

Section 12.08 Governing Law. 
 THE
INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF
ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO

Section 12.11 Severability. 
 In case any
provision in this Indenture or in the Notes is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 12.13 Table of Contents, Headings, etc. 

The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of
reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Indenture and will in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 
 Section
12.14 Acts of Holders. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this
Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one (1) or more instruments (including instruments in facsimile, digital or other electronic form) of substantially similar tenor signed (including signatures in
facsimile, digital or other electronic form) by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing (including signatures in facsimile, digital or other electronic form); and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 12.14. 
 (b) The fact and date of the
execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the
individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall
also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee
deems sufficient. 
 (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note register maintained under Section 2.03 hereunder. 

  
 72 








 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the
Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done
by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 (e) If the Company shall
solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given
before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Notes have
authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective (pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, to the extent applicable) not later than six (6)
months after the record date.

 Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below
unless otherwise indicated. 
 (1) INTEREST. Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 4.875% per annum from September 14, 2016 until maturity and shall pay the Special Interest,
if any, payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Special Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year (each an “Interest
Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no
interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the date of original issuance; provided that, if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue
from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be March 15, 2017. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
principal at a rate that is 1% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest
and Special Interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on
the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Special Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest
Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal,
premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Special Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at
their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest and Special Interest, if any, on, all
Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Paying Agent at least ten days prior to the applicable payment date; provided that no payment of principal of or premium, if any, on this Note
may be made unless such Note is surrendered to the Paying Agent for payment. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

(3) PAYING AGENT AND
REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The 

  
 A-3 








 
Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

(4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 14, 2016
(the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA once the Indenture is qualified under the
TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the
provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. 

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(A) At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to September 15, 2019, the Company may, at its option, use all or any
portion of the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes issued remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption. In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the net cash proceeds of any Equity Offering, the Company shall make such redemption not more than 180 days after the
consummation of any such Equity Offering. 
 (B) At any time prior to September 15, 2019, the Company may, at its option on
one or more occasions, redeem all or any portion of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). The Company shall give the Trustee
notice of the redemption price for any redemption pursuant to this clause (B) promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any such calculation. 

(C) Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to
September 15, 2019. 
 (D) The Company may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time on and after
September 15, 2019, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on
September 15 of the years set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on

 Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue
on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 (6) MANDATORY
REDEMPTION. The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF
HOLDER. 
 Unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all the
Notes, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof; provided that the unpurchased portion of any Note may not be less than $2,000) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Special Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the
purchase date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail (or to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, send electronically) a notice to each Holder
setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture. 
 (8)
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail (or to the extent
permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, send electronically), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may
be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 thereof. Notes selected will be in amounts
of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed; provided, further that portions of Notes may
be selected for redemption in denominations equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof, except that the unredeemed portion of a Note shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000. 

(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in
registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

(10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Except as otherwise
provided in the Indenture, the registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders have rights under the Indenture.

WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with
the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 
 (14) NO RECOURSE
AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors
under the Notes, the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. 

(15) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 
 (16)

on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
