audited financial statements are then available, as increased by, as of the date of determination, the estimated discounted future net revenues from (1) estimated proved oil and gas reserves acquired since such year-end, which reserves were not
reflected in such year-end reserve report, and (2) estimated increases in proved oil and gas reserves since such year-end due to exploration, development or exploitation activities or due to changes in geological conditions (or understandings

report) increased by the accretion of the discount from the date of the reserve report to the date of determination and the effect on proved reserves and future net revenues from estimated development cost incurred, and decreased by, as of the date
of determination, the estimated discounted future net revenues from (3) estimated proved oil and gas reserves reflected in such year-end report produced or disposed of since such year-end and (4) estimated oil and gas reserves attributable
to downward revisions of estimates of proved oil and gas reserves since such year-end due to changes in geological conditions (or understandings thereof) or other factors which would, in accordance with standard industry practice, cause such
revisions, in each case on a pre-tax basis calculated in accordance with Commission guidelines (utilizing the prices utilized in such year-end reserve report); provided that, in the case of each of the determinations made pursuant to clauses

benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee in writing 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 one of its Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit

shall use such 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 shall promptly notify the Trustee in

than $1,000. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of a Holder’s Notes are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such
Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

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. The notice, if delivered or mailed in the manner provided herein shall be presumed to have

 Section 3.05.
Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 (a) Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York Time on the Business Day that is the redemption date, the Company

deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 

(b) If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on
the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but before the succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall be paid to the
Holder in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on the interest record date and such interest shall not be included in the redemption price. If any Note called for redemption shall not be 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 and in Section 4.01.

provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, holds as of 11:00 a.m. New York 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 on the Notes then due. If any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, redemption date or other payment date
falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the relevant payment will be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the relevant Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, redemption date or other payment date. No interest
will accrue for the period from and after the applicable Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, redemption date or other payment date, as the case may be. The Company shall pay Additional Interest, if any, on the dates, in the amounts and in the
manner set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, in respect of the Notes at the rate then in effect on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

(a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange. The Company shall 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 shall fail to maintain
any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations or surrenders may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee; provided, however, no service of legal process
may be made on the Company at the Corporate Trust Office or any other office of the Trustee. 
 (b) 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 shall 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. 
 (c) The Company hereby designates the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.04 of this Indenture; provided, however, no service of legal process may be made on the Company at the Corporate Trust
Office or any other office of the Trustee. 
 Section 4.03. Reports. 

(a) The Company shall furnish or file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it files the same with the Commission, copies of 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 the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. 
 (b) If the Company is not subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act and the Notes are subject to restrictions on transfer by Persons other than Affiliates of the Company under Rule 144, the Company will furnish to all Holders of the Notes and prospective purchasers of the Notes designated by the Holders
of the Notes, promptly on their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. 

(c) For purposes of this Section 4.03, the Company shall be deemed to have furnished such reports and information to, or filed such
reports and information with, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and prospective purchasers as required by this Section 4.03 if it has filed such reports or information with the Commission via the EDGAR filing system or otherwise made
such reports or information publicly available on a freely accessible page on the Company’s website; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such reports and information
have been posted on such website. 

  
 43 







 (d) Delivery by the Company of any such reports, information and documents to the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including
the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee is under no duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure
compliance with the provisions of this Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein. The Trustee is entitled to assume such compliance and correctness unless a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee is informed, in writing, otherwise. Delivery by the Company of any such reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall
not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee is under no duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or
the statements contained therein. The Trustee is entitled to assume such compliance and correctness unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee is informed, in writing, otherwise. 

Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate. 

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, on or before a date not more than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year (commencing with the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2016), an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a
view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge, the Company has
kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the material terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, 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). To the extent required under the TIA, each
Guarantor shall also deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate meeting the requirement of this paragraph (a) with respect to such Guarantor. 

(b) The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, notify the Trustee in writing on or before the thirtieth day after it has
knowledge of the occurrence and continuance of any Default and on such day or promptly thereafter, deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto. 

  
 44 







 Section 4.05. Taxes. 

The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, any 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 would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 
 Section 4.07. Liens Securing Funded Debt.

 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur or assume any Funded Debt secured by any Liens
(other than Permitted Liens) upon any Property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or upon the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary unless the Notes or the Guarantee, if any, of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, (together
with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness or other obligation of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary) are equally and ratably secured for so long as such Funded Debt shall be so secured; provided that if such Funded Debt
or other obligation is expressly subordinated to the Notes or a related Guarantee, if any, the Lien securing such Funded Debt or other obligation shall be subordinated and junior to the Lien securing such Notes or such Guarantee. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may create, incur or assume Funded Debt secured by Liens
which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions of this Section 4.07, if the aggregate principal amount of such Funded Debt and all other secured Funded Debt of the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary theretofore created, incurred or
assumed pursuant to the exception in this sentence and outstanding at such time does not exceed 15% of the Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company. 

Section 4.08. Future Guarantees. 

The Company shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) that guarantees Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit
Agreement, within 90 days of such guarantee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplement to this Indenture, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, executed by such Restricted Subsidiary, under which such Restricted Subsidiary shall
become a Guarantor of the Notes on the terms, and subject to the release and other provisions, set forth in Article Ten of this Indenture. 

  
 45 







 Section 4.09. Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or any
part (in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer to
purchase all of the Notes, at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the
“Change of Control Purchase Date”). 
 (b) Not later than 30 days after the date upon which any Change of Control
Triggering Event occurred, or, at the Company’s option, prior to a Change of Control but after it is publicly announced, the Company must notify the Trustee in writing and give notice of either such event to each Holder of Notes at such
Holder’s address appearing in the security register or otherwise deliver notice in accordance with the Applicable Procedures (the “Change of Control Purchase Notice”). The Change of Control Purchase Notice must state, among
other things: 
 (1) that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred or is expected to occur and the date or expected
date of such event; 
 (2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control Triggering Event; 

(3) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the Change of Control Purchase Date, which shall be fixed by the Company on a
Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed or otherwise delivered, or such later date as is necessary to comply with requirements under the Exchange Act; provided that the Change of Control
Purchase Date may not occur prior to the Change of Control Triggering Event and such notice may be contingent on the occurrence of the Change of Control Triggering Event; 

(4) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

(5) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price, any Notes accepted for payment
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date; and 
 (6)
other procedures that a Holder of Notes must follow to accept a Change of Control Offer or to withdraw acceptance of the Change of Control Offer. 

(c) Upon receipt by the Company of the proper tender of Notes, the Holder of the Note in respect of which such proper tender was made shall
(unless the tender of such Note is properly withdrawn at least one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Change of Control Purchase Price with respect to such Notes. On the Change of
Control Purchase Date, any such Note surrendered for purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions and not withdrawn shall be accepted for payment by 

  
 46 







 
the Company at the Change of Control Purchase Price; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date
shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, registered as such on the relevant Change of Control Purchase Date (or on the relevant record dates in the case of Definitive Notes) according to the terms and the provisions of Section 2.03. If
any Note accepted for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.09 shall not be paid as provided in Section 4.09(d), the principal thereof (and premium, if any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Change of
Control Purchase Date at the rate borne by such Note. Holders electing to have Notes purchased will be required to surrender such Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the Change of Control Purchase Notice at least one Business Day
prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date. Any Note that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered to a Paying Agent at the office of such Paying Agent (with, if the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee so require, due endorsement by,
or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be, duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange
for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered that is not purchased. 
 (d) The Company shall (i) not later than
the Change of Control Purchase Date, accept for payment Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and not validly withdrawn, (ii) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following the Change
of Control Purchase Date, deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof which have been so accepted for
payment and (iii) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following the Change of Control Purchase Date, deliver to the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment
by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of the Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price of the Notes purchased from each such Holder, and the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Notes not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Paying Agent
at the Company’s expense to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on the Change of Control Purchase Date. For purposes of this Section 4.09, the Company shall choose a Paying
Agent which shall not be the Company. 
 (e) A tender made in response to a Change of Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn if the Company
receives, not later than one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter, specifying, as applicable: 

(1) the name of the Holder; 

(2) the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; 

  
 47 







 (3) the principal amount of the Note (which shall be $1,000 or whole multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof) delivered for purchase by the Company as to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; 

(4) a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such principal amount of such Note purchased; and 

(5) the principal amount, if any, of such Note (which shall be $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) that
remains subject to the original Change of Control Purchase Notice and that has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, Notes must be tendered and/or withdrawn in
accordance with Applicable Procedures. 
 (f) The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company, upon its request, any cash that
remains unclaimed for two years after a Change of Control Purchase Date together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon (subject to Section 7.01(f)), held by them for the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price; and the Holder of
such tendered and accepted Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal
(national edition) or send to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company; provided, further however, that (x) to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to clause (ii) of paragraph (d) of this
Section 4.09 exceeds the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof to be purchased, then the Trustee shall hold such excess for the Company and (y) unless otherwise directed by the Company in writing,
promptly after the Business Day following the Change of Control Purchase Date the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest, if any, thereon (subject to Section 7.01(f)). 

(g) The Company shall comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable
securities laws or regulations in connection with a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.09, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws
and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of such conflict. 
 (h)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer (i) 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 withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) if notice of redemption for all outstanding Notes has been given
pursuant to Section 3.07, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. 

  
 48 







 (i) In the event that Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company purchases all of the Notes held 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 30 days
following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described under this Section 4.09, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount
of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of redemption. 
 Section 4.10. Corporate
Existence. 
 Subject to Article Five, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force
and effect the corporate or comparable existence of the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the Company is not required to preserve any the existence of any Restricted Subsidiary, if the maintenance or preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

which there has been a Payment Default, in the aggregate; 
 provided that if any such default is cured or waived or any such
acceleration is rescinded, or such Indebtedness (or overdue portion thereof) is repaid, within a period of 30 days from the continuation of such default beyond any applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be,
such Event of Default and any consequent acceleration of the Notes shall be rescinded, so long as any such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree or applicable provision of law;

Trustee or Holders of 25% of the principal amount of the Notes; provided, however, that the Company will have 90 days following such written notice to remedy or receive a waiver for any failure to comply with its obligations under this
Indenture so long as the Company is attempting to remedy any such failure as promptly as reasonably practicable; 
 (6) any
failure of a Guarantee by a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Notes to be in full force and effect, or the denial or disaffirmance by such entity thereof, in each case, except in accordance with Indenture; 

(7) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premise of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company
or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, bankrupt or insolvent, or

Subsidiary, of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, in writing in a public report or release or bondholder report, of its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due. 
 Section 6.02. Acceleration. 

(a) If an Event of Default (other than as specified in clause (7) or clause (8) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company)
shall occur with respect to the Notes and be continuing with respect to this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare all unpaid principal of, premium, if any,
and accrued but unpaid interest on, all the Notes then outstanding to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders of the Notes). Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium,
if any, and interest shall become due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or clause (8) of Section 6.01 occurs with respect to the Company, then the principal of, any premium, if any, and interest
on, all the Notes shall ipso facto be accelerated and become due and payable immediately, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of Notes. Thereupon, the Trustee may, at its discretion, proceed to protect and
enforce the rights of the Holders of the Notes by appropriate judicial proceedings. 
 (b) After an acceleration with respect to the Notes,
but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, on behalf of the
Holders of the Notes, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if: 
 (1) the Company has paid or
deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, (B) all
overdue interest on all Notes then outstanding, the principal of, and premium, if any, on any Notes then outstanding, in each case, which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by
the Notes and (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Notes; 

  
 52 







 (2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction; and 
 (3) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture. 

(c) No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. 

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

(b) 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 and during the continuance of 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 not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee and the
Company, may on behalf of the Holders of all outstanding Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and its consequences, except a continuing Default or Event of Default (1) in the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Note (other than a default in payment that has become due solely because of an acceleration that has been rescinded), which may only be waived with the consent of each Holder of Notes affected or (2) in
respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected by such modification or amendment. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. This Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as
permitted by the TIA. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

  
 53 







 Section 6.05. Control by Majority. 

Subject to Section 7.01(e), the 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 for the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee shall be under no obligation and may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of the Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

(a) No Holder of any of the Notes has any right to pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture unless (1) the Trustee shall have
received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (2) the Trustee shall have received a written request from Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes to pursue such remedy,
(3) the Trustee shall have received indemnity from the Holders reasonably satisfactory to it against loss, liability or expense to pursue such remedy as Trustee under the Notes and this Indenture, (4) the Trustee shall have failed to act
for a period of 60 days after receipt of such written notice, request and such offer of security or indemnity, and (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 
 (b) The limitations set forth in paragraph (a) of this
Section 6.06 do not, however, apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note. 

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of the Notes to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, 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 clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 occurs with respect to the Notes 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 overdue principal of, premium, if any, interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and to the extent lawful, interest
on overdue principal, premium, if any, and 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.

 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 the Holders of any Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any
Guarantor (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 securities or property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any
custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Notes 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 of the Notes, 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. To the extent that the payment of any
such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, 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 of the Notes 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.

other property in the following order:

Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

Second: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest,
in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind; and 

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

(b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of the 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 and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note
pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than ten percent in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits) for any action it takes or omits to take, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage. 

  
 57 







 (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such event is sent to the Trustee in accordance with Section 12.02, and such notice references the Notes. 

(h) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers
hereunder. 
 (i) Subject to Section 7.01(b)(ii), the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make
such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit. 
 (j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities
and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to

statements of the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, and shall not be taken as the statements of the Trustee, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder.

other documents or agreements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company or any other party hereto.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal
with, the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as described in the TIA while any Default exists, it must eliminate such
conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee with such conflict or resign as Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

  
 58 







 Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, 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 shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall 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 Default. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall mail or otherwise deliver to Holders of the Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the Trustee gains knowledge of the Default or Event of Default unless such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived before the giving of such notice. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium or interest 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 February 15 beginning with the February 15 following the date
hereof, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail or otherwise deliver to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA
Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail or otherwise deliver all
reports as required by TIA Section 313(c). 
 (b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing or delivery to the Holders of the
Notes shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when the Notes are listed
on any stock exchange or any delisting thereof. 
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

Registrar) from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder in accordance with a written schedule provided by the Trustee to the Company. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by
any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the
compensation for its services, except those resulting from its own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and
counsel. 

  
 59 







 (b) The Company shall indemnify the Trustee in its capacity against any and all losses,
liabilities or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the
Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by either of the Company or 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 shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

(c) The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 (d) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this section, the Trustee shall 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, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and
the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 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.

Bankruptcy Law;

appointed by the Company.

Trustee with respect to the Notes.

(f) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail or otherwise deliver a notice of its
succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall 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. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

 ARTICLE EIGHT 

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Eight. 
 Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02 with respect to the Notes, the
Company and any Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Notes and all obligations of the
Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged (and any security granted to secure such Notes shall be released) with respect to their obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes on the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). 
 For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means
that the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and any Guarantees thereof, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the
purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 8.02, and shall be deemed discharged from the payment and performance of all other obligations under this
Indenture with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees thereof (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 shall survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments solely from Funds in
Trust (as defined in Section 8.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section) in respect of the principal of, and any premium and interest on such Notes when such payments are due; 

(b) subject to clause (a) of this Section 8.02, the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article Two and
Section 4.02 concerning the issuance of temporary Notes, transfers and exchanges of the Notes, replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, the maintenance of an office or agency where the Notes may be surrendered for transfer or
exchange or presented for payment, and duties of Paying Agents; 
 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and
the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (d) this Article Eight. 

  
 62 







 Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. 
 Section 8.03. Covenant
Defeasance. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 with respect
to the Notes, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.07, 4.08 and 4.09 with respect to the outstanding
Notes, and the Guarantees related to the Notes shall be released pursuant to Section 10.04, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes
shall 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 shall continue to be deemed
“outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes to the extent permitted by GAAP). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to
the outstanding Notes, the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary may omit to comply with and shall 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 shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 6.01 with respect to the Notes, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable
to this Section 8.03 with respect to the Notes, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(3) through (6) or, with respect to any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, Sections 6.01(7)
and (8), shall not constitute Events of Default with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance. 
 The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 to the outstanding
Notes:

and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. Legal Tender, U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof (“Funds in Trust”), in such amounts as, in the aggregate, will be
sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the outstanding Notes on each date on which such principal, and any premium and interest is due
and payable or on any redemption date established pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Company has received from or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 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 Beneficial Owners of the 

  
 63 







 
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; 
 (c) in the
case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Beneficial Owners 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; 

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes on the date of such deposit (other than as a
result of borrowing funds in connection with such defeasance or granting of Liens in connection therewith); 
 (e) such Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any other material agreement, other than this Indenture, or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; 

(f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the
intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and 
 (g) the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the Company has complied with all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be. 

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

(a) Subject to Section 8.06, all money and U.S. Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall 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 and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

(b) The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S.
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 

  
 64 







 (c) Anything in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or
pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or U.S. Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants,
investment bank, or appraisal firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited
to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06. Repayment to the 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, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter 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, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall 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 shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance
of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government Securities in accordance with
Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations to make the related
payments under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance
with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following 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 held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Officers’ Certificate; 
 (2) to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Company or any Guarantor pursuant

(5) to reflect the addition or release of any Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Notes, in the manner provided in this

which a security interest is required to be granted to or for the benefit of the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or otherwise; 

(9) to comply with the rules of any applicable Depositary; 

(10) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of
Notes” section in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision of the “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees as evidenced in an
Officers’ Certificate; or 
 (11) to make any change that would provide any additional benefit to the Holders of the
Notes or that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect. 

  
 66 







 (b) Upon the request of the Company, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described
in Section 12.04 and Section 9.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company and each Guarantor in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted under this Section 9.01 and to make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of the Notes. 

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors, any other obligor under the Notes and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Notes (taken together as a single class) then outstanding and affected by such amendment or supplement;
provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby: 

(1) reduce the percentage of principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver of any
provision of this Indenture or the Notes; 
 (2) reduce the rate or change the time for payment of interest, including
default interest, if any, on the Notes; 
 (3) reduce the principal amount of any Note or change the Maturity Date of the

 (4) reduce the amount payable upon redemption of any Note; 

(5) waive any Event of Default in the payment of principal of, any premium or interest on, the Notes (except a default in
payment that has become due solely because of an acceleration that has been rescinded); 
 (6) make any Note payable in
money other than that stated in such Note; 
 (7) impair the right of Holders of the Notes to receive payment of the
principal of and interest on Notes on the respective due dates therefor and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment; or 

(8) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Notes necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of
this Indenture. 

  
 67 







 For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing clauses (1) through (8) shall apply
to any amendment of Section 4.09 or any definitions related thereto. 
 (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record
date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of the Notes on such record date, or its duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to
the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. 

(c) Upon the request of the Company and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of
the Holders of the Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06 and Section 12.04, the Trustee shall join with the Company and each Guarantor in the execution of such amended or
supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated
to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of the Notes under
this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

(e) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail or otherwise deliver to the
Holders of the Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail or deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of
any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall 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, 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. 

  
 68 







 Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

(a) The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The 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. 

(b) Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. 

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture or Note authorized pursuant to this Article Nine if the amendment or supplement
does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture or Note, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected
in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by
this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE TEN 

GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01. Guarantee. 

(a) Subject to this Article Ten, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally, guarantees, on a senior
unsecured basis, 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, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other monetary Obligations of the Company to the Holders or to 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 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 shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the 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 

  
 69 







 
defense of a Guarantor. Subject to Section 6.06, 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 Guarantee shall 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 of the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged,
shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. 
 (e) In respect to its obligations under its
Guarantee, each Guarantor agrees to be bound to, and hereby covenants, with respect to itself, the covenant set forth in Section 4.06. 

Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder of the Notes, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
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 Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all
other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant
to its contribution obligations under this Article Ten, will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. Until such time as the Notes are
paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under Federal Bankruptcy Law) or otherwise by reason of any
payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee will be entitled to seek contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets
of each Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee. 

  
 70 







 Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. 

(a) To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, on the Issue Date, each Initial Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture
shall be executed on behalf of such Initial Guarantor by an Officer of such Initial Guarantor. 
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its
Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 

(c) If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Notes, the
Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 (d) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 (e) Subsequent to the date of this
Indenture, in the event a Restricted Subsidiary is required by Section 4.08 to guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, the Company shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to execute a supplemental indenture
to this Indenture substantially in the form included in Exhibit D hereto in accordance with Section 4.08 and this Article Ten, to the extent applicable. 

Section 10.04. Releases of Guarantors. 

(a) A Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations under its Guarantee without any
further action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of Notes: 
 (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of
(i) Capital Stock of such Guarantor such that after such sale or disposition the Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or (ii) all or substantially all of the properties or assets of such Guarantor (including by way
of merger or consolidation), in each case to one or more Persons that are not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(2) if the Guarantor ceases to provide a guarantee with respect to Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement;

 (3) if the Notes are defeased or discharged in accordance with Article Eight or Article Eleven; or 

(4) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor. 

  
 71 







 (b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for
the full amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article Ten.

thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in The New York Times or The Wall Street

Section 12.15. Acts of Holders.

of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, outstanding Notes; 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 

  
 77 







 
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders of the Notes 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 12.15. 

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved 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 notary or officer the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a
capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of 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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 12.15, the principal amount and serial numbers of Notes held by any Holder, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar as provided in Section 2.04. 

(d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of the Notes any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, the Company may, at their option, by or pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of the Notes entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier
than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders of the Notes generally in connection therewith or the date of the most recent list of Holders of the Notes forwarded to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to
Section 2.06 and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. 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 of the Notes at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the Notes of the requisite proportion of the then 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 then outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement
or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date. 

(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and bind
every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration or 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.

 (f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with
regard to any particular Note may do so itself with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such
principal amount. 
 (g) For purposes of this Indenture, any action by the Holders of the Notes which may be taken in writing may be taken by
electronic means or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Section 12.16. Benefit of Indenture. 

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent, any
Registrar and its successors hereunder, and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

Section 12.17. 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 shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 

Section 12.18. Force Majeure. 

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture
arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or
acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services. 

Section 12.19. U.S.A. Patriot Act. 

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions
and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The
parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may reasonably request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

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, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying
Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

4. Indenture. The Company issued this Note as one of the Notes issued under an Indenture dated as of September 16, 2016 (the
“Indenture”) among the Company, the Initial Guarantors 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 Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act 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 pursuant to which this Note is issued provides that an unlimited amount of Additional Notes may be issued thereunder, subject to compliance with the covenants therein. 

5. Guarantees. Payments of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, when and as the same becomes due and payable, will
be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors. Reference is made to article Ten of the Indenture for terms relating to the Guarantees, including the release, termination and discharge
thereof. None of the Company or any Guarantor shall be required to make any notation on this Note to reflect any Guarantee or any such release, termination or discharge. 

6. Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem the Notes during the time periods and at the redemption prices set forth in the
Indenture. 
 7. Mandatory Redemption. The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect

 8. Repurchase at Option of Holders. 

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder of Notes may require the Company to purchase such Notes in whole or in
part in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, at a purchase price in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase,
pursuant to a Change of Control Offer in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. 

  
 A-6 







 9. Selection and Notice of Redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at
any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate (subject to the procedures of DTC or any other Depositary and by maintaining
the authorized denominations for the Notes), or, if the Notes are listed on any securities exchange, by any other method that complies with the requirements of such exchange. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be
redeemed shall be selected prior to giving notice of such redemption by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will
state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes
called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest [and Additional Interest, if any,]* shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. 

10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and whole multiples

documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes or other governmental charges required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is
not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 
 11. Persons Deemed
Owners. The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 12. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.
The Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees may be amended or supplemented only as provided in the Indenture. 
 13. Defaults. In the
case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization specified in the Indenture with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or
notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect the Notes, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall,
declare all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes then outstanding to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders of the Notes)
and upon any such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable immediately. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event
of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on
behalf of the Holders of all outstanding Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such Notes and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default (1) in the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any such Note (other than a default in payment that has become due solely because of an acceleration that has been rescinded), which may only be waived with the consent of each Holder of such Notes or
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected by such modification or amendment.

 14. Trustee Dealings with the 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. 

15. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder or other owner of
Capital Stock of the Company, Guarantors or any Restricted Subsidiary, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees to which they are a party, 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. 

16. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

 17. [Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to
