taken by the Issuer (or any successor thereto) or any Restricted Subsidiary, net of the amount of actual benefits realized or expected to be realized during such period that are otherwise included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA from such
actions; provided that such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating improvements and synergies are factually supportable and reasonably identifiable (as determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer,

 SECTION 2.2.
Form of Execution and Authentication. An Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or Authenticating Agent. The signature
of the Trustee or of the Authenticating Agent shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The
Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, as applicable, (i) Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000, and (ii) subject to compliance with
Section 3.3, one or more series of Notes (“Additional Notes”) for original issue after the Issue Date (such Notes to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto) in an unlimited amount, in each
case upon written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer (an “Authentication Order”), which Authentication Order shall, in the case of any issuance of Additional Notes, certify that such issuance is in compliance
with Section 3.3. In addition, each such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, whether the securities are to be Initial Notes

The Notes shall initially be in the form of one or more Global Notes, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of, the Notes to be issued, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and (iii) shall be held by the Trustee as Notes Custodian. 

The Issuer shall have the right to designate the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions applicable to each series of
Additional Notes, which may differ from the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions applicable to the Initial Notes. Additional Notes that differ with respect to maturity date, interest rate or optional redemption
provisions from the Initial Notes will constitute a different series of Notes from such Initial Notes. Additional Notes that have the same maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions as the Initial Notes will be treated as
the same series as such Initial Notes unless otherwise designated by the Issuer. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2(a), the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and
consent together on all matters as one class, and no other series of Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. The Issuer shall also have, subject to the provisions of
Section 9.2(a), the right to vary the application of the provisions of this Indenture to any series of Additional Notes. The provisions of this section are subject to Section 2.13.

the procedures described herein.

reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication
by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer. 

SECTION 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange (including any co-registrar, the “Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency in the United States where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar
shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange and, upon written request from the Issuer, the Registrar shall provide the Issuer with a copy of such register to enable them to maintain a register of the Notes at their
registered offices. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar
without prior notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee or the Registrar in writing and the Trustee or the Registrar shall notify the Holders of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The Issuer or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar. The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions hereof that relate to such
Agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, in accordance with this Section 2.3, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the
Trustee shall act as such, and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with Section 7.6. 

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and to act as Notes Custodian. 

SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Money. The Issuer shall require the Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in
writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee in writing
of any Default by the Issuer 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 Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all
money held by such Paying Agent to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. If the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it
shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. 
 SECTION 2.5.
Lists of Holders of the Notes. The Trustee or the Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA
§ 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar and Paying Agent, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and the Paying Agent at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request
in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee and the Paying Agent may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, including the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by each thereof, and the Issuer shall
otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). 
 SECTION 2.6. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except, as a whole, by the Depositary to a nominee
of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. Global Notes shall be
exchanged by the

outstanding. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall promptly furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the

SECTION 2.12. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly

Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3. 
 Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is
not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and
(to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election in
each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: 
 (a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following
manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee or the Paying Agent in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice unless a shorter period shall be
acceptable to the Trustee or the Paying Agent) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent an amount of money equal to the
aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Issuer shall fix a record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than
10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent of the notice of the proposed payment. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee or the Paying Agent of such
Special Record Date and shall, or at the written request and in the name and expense of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall, cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special
Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 12.1, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at
the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b). 
 (b)
The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after
notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee or the Paying Agent of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee or the Paying Agent. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

notice to Holders. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers. A separate CUSIP or ISIN number will be issued for any Additional Notes, unless (i) the applicable Initial Notes and
such Additional Notes have the same maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions and are treated as “fungible” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) both the Initial Notes and such Additional Notes are issued in the
same series (as set forth in Section 2.2 without (or with less than a de minimis amount of) original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (iii) another then-recognized identifier is used.

Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date the Trustee or the Paying
Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes.

 All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor (including, in each case, any successor entity) (each, a
“Payor”) in respect of the Notes or with respect to any Guarantee thereof, as applicable, will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes unless the withholding or deduction of
such Taxes is then required by law. The Issuer may, to the extent it is required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from principal or interest payments hereunder. Any
Payor may withhold from any interest payment made on any Note to or for the benefit of any Person who is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) U.S. federal withholding tax, and pay such
withheld amounts to the Internal Revenue Service, unless such Person provides documentation to the Issuer or other Payor such that an exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax would apply to such payment if interest on such Note were treated
entirely as income from sources within the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The provisions of this paragraph are subject to Section 3.17 hereof. 

SECTION 3.2. Reports and Other Information.

(a) The Issuer will provide to the Trustee and, upon request, to Holders of the Notes a copy of all of the information and reports referred to

1, 2 and 4, Items 5.01, 5.02 (other than compensation information) and 5.03(b) of Form 8-K; provided that no such current report will be required to be furnished if the Issuer determines in its good faith judgment that such event is
not material to Holders of the Notes or to the business, assets, operations, financial position or prospects of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or if the Issuer determines in its good faith judgment that such
disclosure would otherwise cause material competitive harm to the business, assets, operations, financial position or prospects of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; 

provided, further, that such non-disclosure shall be limited only to those specific provisions that would cause material competitive harm and
not the occurrence of the event itself; provided, that in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and, upon request, Holders of the Notes, the Issuer will, to the extent the requirements set forth in
Section 3.2(h) are satisfied, make available to the Holders of the Notes, bona fide prospective investors in the Notes, bona fide market makers in the Notes affiliated with any Initial Purchaser and bona fide securities
analysts (to the extent providing analysis of investment in the Notes) such information by (i) posting to the website of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer or on a non-public, password-protected website maintained by
the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer or a third party, in each case, within 15 days after the time the Issuer would be required to provide such information pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, as applicable, or (ii)
otherwise providing substantially comparable availability of such reports (as determined by the Issuer in good faith) (it being understood that, without limitation, making such reports available on Bloomberg or another comparable private electronic
information service shall constitute substantially comparable availability); provided, further, however, that no such information shall be required to be delivered to the extent that the conditions in
Section 3.2(f) are satisfied. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Issuer will not be required to furnish
any information, certificates or reports required by (A) Section 302, Section 404 or Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related Items 307 or 308 of Regulation S-K or (B) Regulation G or Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K

 (c) For so long as
the Issuer has designated certain of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required to be provided by Section 3.2(a) will include a reasonably detailed
presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, or in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” or other comparable section, of the financial
condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of 

  
 -54- 








 
the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer. The quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 3.2(a) will include information regarding
Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby comparable to the information included in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of Notes—Guarantees.” 

(d) In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, the Issuer will agree that, for so long as any Notes are outstanding, the
Issuer will furnish to Holders of the Notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision). 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the financial statements, information, auditors’ reports and other documents required to be provided
as described above, may be, rather than those of the Issuer, those of (i) any predecessor or successor of the Issuer or any entity meeting the requirements of clause (ii) of this Section 3.2(e) or (ii) any direct

the financial information of the Issuer and such direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, the same is accompanied by consolidating information, which may be posted to the website of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer on a
non-public, password-protected website maintained by the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer or a third party, that explains in reasonable detail the material differences between the information relating to such parent entity
(as the case may be), on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. For the avoidance of doubt, the consolidating information referred to in the proviso in the
preceding sentence need not be audited. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements
of Section 3.2(a) if the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (i) has filed reports or registration statements containing such information (including, to the extent required, the information
referred to in the first sentence of Section 3.2(e), which, for the avoidance of doubt, need not be filed with the SEC via EDGAR to the extent it is otherwise provided to Holders pursuant to this
Section 3.2) with the SEC via the EDGAR (or successor) filing system within the applicable time periods after giving effect to any extensions permitted by the SEC and that are publicly available or (ii) if the Issuer
or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer is no longer subject to the reporting requirements provided by the Exchange Act, with respect to the Holders of the Notes only, the Issuer or such parent entity has made such reports available
electronically (including by posting to a non-public, password-protected website as provided above) pursuant to this Section 3.2.

(ii), hold a conference call to discuss such reports and the results of operations for the relevant reporting period; and 

(ii) announce by press release or post to the website of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer or
on a non-public, password-protected website maintained by the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer or a third party, which may require a confidentiality acknowledgment (but not restrict the recipients of such information from
trading securities of the Issuer or its respective affiliates), prior to the date of the conference call required to be held in accordance with Section 3.2(g)(i), the time and date of such conference call and either
all information necessary to access the call or informing Holders of Notes, bona fide prospective investors in the Notes, bona fide market makers in the Notes affiliated with any Initial Purchaser and bona fide securities analysts (to the extent
providing analysis of an investment in the Notes) how they can obtain such information, including, without limitation, the applicable password or other login information; 

  
 -55- 








 provided, however, that the Issuer will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of clause (i)
(with regard to the requirement to hold a conference call) of this paragraph if any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer holds a conference call to discuss such reports and the results of operations for the relevant reporting period. 

(h) Any person who requests or accesses such financial information or seeks to participate in any conference calls required by this
Section 3.2 may be required to provide its email address, employer name and other information reasonably requested by the Issuer and represent to the Issuer (to the Issuer’s reasonable good faith satisfaction) that:

fide market maker in the Notes affiliated with any Initial Purchaser or a bona fide securities analyst providing an analysis of investment in the Notes;

(v) Delivery of reports, information and documents (including without limitation reports contemplated under this
Section 3.2) to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 

SECTION 3.3. Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.

 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.3, in
the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be Incurred or issued as Ratio Debt, the Issuer shall,
in its sole discretion, at the time of Incurrence or issuance, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any
manner that complies with this Section 3.3, provided that all Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Agreement Incurred on or prior to the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to
Section 3.3(b)(i)(1) and the Issuer shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of Indebtedness Incurred on or prior to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i). Accrual of
interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the same class, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred
Stock outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this
Section 3.3. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that are otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the
determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 3.3. 

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness or the issuance of
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on
the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar-equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt, or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock was
issued; provided that if such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing
would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been
exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, being refinanced (plus unpaid accrued interest and the
aggregate amount of premiums (including tender premiums) and underwriting discounts, defeasance costs and fees, discounts and expenses in connection therewith). 

(e) The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued to refinance other Indebtedness,
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, if Incurred or issued in a different currency from the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate
applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clause (x) or clause (xxi) of this Section 3.4(b), no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence
thereof. For purposes of clauses (xii) and (xiii) of this Section 3.4(b), taxes and Related Taxes shall include all interest and penalties with respect thereto and all additions thereto. 

(c) No Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of any Restricted Payments made by the Issuer or any Subsidiary
during any period that is not a Restricted 

  
 -68- 








 
Payments Covenant Period and the Issuer and any Subsidiary of the Issuer will be permitted, without causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of any of this covenant (notwithstanding that
the Issuer is no longer subject to restrictions on certain Restricted Payments under one or more Credit Agreements) under this Indenture, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during such
period and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that on each date upon which a Restricted Payments Covenant Period commences, the Issuer will classify each Investment or Restricted Payment made in the period between
(i) the Issue Date and the day prior to the first day of the first Restricted Payments Covenant Period, in the case of the first Restricted Payments Covenant Period, and (ii) the last day of the most recent Restricted Payments Covenant Period and
the day prior to the first day of such Restricted Payments Covenant Period, in the case of any other Restricted Payments Covenant Period, pursuant to one or more of the provisions above or as Permitted Investments in the amount determined as set
forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments” as if this Section 3.4 were in effect during such period; provided, further, that any such Restricted Payment or Investment that could
not be so classified in compliance with such covenant had it been in effect during such period will be deemed to have been made under Section 3.4(a)(C) without causing a Default or Event of Default under this
Section 3.4. 
 (d) As of the Issue Date, all of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries will be Restricted
Subsidiaries. The Issuer will not permit (i) any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary to become an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case except pursuant to Section 3.14 and the definition
of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so
designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will only be permitted if a Restricted Payment or
Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth
in this Indenture. 
 (e) For purposes of this Section 3.4, if any Investment or Restricted Payment (or a portion
thereof) would be permitted pursuant to one or more provisions described above and/or one or more of the exceptions contained in the definition of “Permitted Investments,” the Issuer may divide and classify such Investment or Restricted
Payment (or a portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 3.4 and may later divide and reclassify any such Investment or Restricted Payment so long as the Investment or Restricted Payment (as so divided
and/or reclassified) would be permitted to be made in reliance on the applicable exception as of the date of such reclassification. 

SECTION 3.5. Liens.

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien securing
Indebtedness (other than Permitted Liens) on any asset or property (or the proceeds thereof) of the Issuer or such Guarantor, unless (1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and any applicable Guarantee are secured by a
Lien on such property or assets (and the proceeds thereof) that is senior in priority to such Liens; or (2) in all other cases, the Notes and the applicable Guarantee are secured by a Lien on such property or assets (and the proceeds thereof)
equally and ratably with or prior to such Liens. 
 (b) Any Lien that is granted to secure the Notes or the applicable Guarantee pursuant to
Section 3.5(a) shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes or the applicable Guarantee under
Section 3.5(a) (other than a release as a result of the enforcement of remedies in respect of such Lien or the Obligations secured by such Lien). 

(c) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such
Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any
accrual of interest, the 

  
 -69- 








 
accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, accretion of original issue discount
or liquidation preference, any fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of
fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness. 
 SECTION 3.6.
Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Guarantors) to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Guarantors) to: 

(a) (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock;
or (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (b) make loans or advances to the
Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or 
 (c) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Issuer
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under
or by reason of: 
 (i) contractual encumbrances or restrictions of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in
effect on the Issue Date, including (1) pursuant to the Senior Credit Agreement and the other documents relating to the Senior Credit Agreement, and (2) related Swap Contracts; 

(ii) this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and other documents relating to this Indenture; 

(iii) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order; 

(iv) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by or merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Issuer
or any Restricted Subsidiary that was in existence at the time of such acquisition (or at the time it merges with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person (but, in each
case, not created in contemplation thereof)), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired or designated;
provided that in connection with a merger, amalgamation or consolidation under this clause (iv), if a Person other than the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is the successor company with respect to such merger, amalgamation or
consolidation, any agreement or instrument of such Person or any Subsidiary of such Person, shall be deemed acquired or assumed, as the case may be, by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, at the time of such merger,
amalgamation or consolidation; 
 (v) customary encumbrances or restrictions contained in contracts or agreements for the
sale of assets applicable to such assets pending consummation of such sale, including customary restrictions with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially
all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (vi) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth
imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (vii) customary provisions in
operating or other similar agreements, asset sale agreements and stock sale agreements entered into in connection with the entering into of such transaction, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of those agreements;


  
 -70- 








 (viii) purchase money obligations for property acquired and Capitalized Lease
Obligations entered into in the ordinary course of business, to the extent such obligations impose restrictions of the nature discussed in Section 3.6(c) on the property so acquired; 

(ix) customary provisions contained in leases, sub-leases, licenses, sublicenses, contracts and other similar agreements
entered into in the ordinary course of business to the extent such obligations impose restrictions of the type described in Section 3.6(c) on the property subject to such lease; 

(x) any encumbrance or restriction effected in connection with a Qualified Receivables Financing that, in the good faith
determination of the Issuer, is necessary or advisable to effect such Qualified Receivables Financing; 
 (xi) other
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 3.3; provided that (1) such encumbrances and
restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument will not materially affect the Issuer’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes (as determined by the Issuer or a direct or indirect parent of the Issuer
in good faith) or (2) such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in this Indenture or
the Senior Credit Agreement (as determined by the Issuer in good faith); 
 (xii) any encumbrance or restriction contained in
Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.5 to the extent limiting the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; 

(xiii) any encumbrance or restriction arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any
Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, (x) detract from the value of the property or assets of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or (y) materially
affect the Issuer’s ability to make future principal or interest payments on the Notes, in each case, as determined by the Issuer in good faith; 

(xiv) customary provisions in joint venture agreements or arrangements and other similar agreements or arrangements relating
solely to the applicable joint venture; and 
 (xv) any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (a),
(b) and (c) of this Section 3.6 imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in
clauses (i) through (xiv) of this Section 3.6; provided that such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or
refinancing are, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding,
replacement or refinancing. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.6, (i) the priority of
any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the
subordination of loans or advances made to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances. 

  
 -71- 








 SECTION 3.7. Asset Sales.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless: 

(i) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief
from, or by any other person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of
the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and 
 (ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75.0% of the
consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets; provided that the amount of: 

(1) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the
notes thereto for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding such date or, if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Issuer’s or such
Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet in the good faith determination of the Issuer) of the Issuer or such
Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are extinguished in connection with the transactions relating to such Asset Sale, or that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or
Equity Interests, in each case, pursuant to an agreement that releases or indemnifies the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from further liability; 

(2) any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such
transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received), in each
case, within 180 days of the receipt thereof; and 
 (3) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this subclause (3) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the
greater of (x) $125.0 million and (y) 2.50% of Consolidated Total Assets, calculated at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at
the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value); 
 shall each be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this clause
(ii). 
 (b) Within 455 days after the Issuer’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale,
the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option: 

(i) to reduce Obligations under the Senior Credit Agreement and in the case of revolving loans, to correspondingly reduce
commitments with respect thereto; 
 (ii) to reduce Obligations under Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness)
that is secured by a Lien, which Lien is permitted by this Indenture and, in the case of revolving loans, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 

  
 -72- 








 (iii)    to reduce Obligations under (x) Pari Passu
Indebtedness of the Issuer or the Guarantors (provided that if the Issuer or any Guarantor shall so reduce such Obligations under Pari Passu Indebtedness other than the Notes, the Issuer shall (1) reduce Obligations under the Notes as
provided in Section 5.1 or through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100.0% of the principal amount thereof) ratably with such other Pari Passu Indebtedness or (2) make an offer (in
accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, the principal amount of Notes that
would otherwise be redeemed under subclause (1) above), or (y) Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary (and, in the case of revolving loans, to
correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); 
 (iv)    to make an investment in any one or
more businesses, assets (other than working capital assets), or property or capital expenditures, in each case used or useful in a Similar Business; provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a
Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (v)    to make an
investment in any one or more businesses, properties (other than working capital assets) or assets (other than working capital assets) that replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; or 

(vi)    any combination of the foregoing; 

provided that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have complied with the provisions described in clause (iv) or (v) of this
Section 3.7(b) if and to the extent that, within 455 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Cash Proceeds, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a
binding agreement to make an investment in compliance with the provision described in clauses (iv) and (v) of this Section 3.7(b), and that investment is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 455-day
period. 
 (c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset
Sales by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) (x) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States or (y) would have a material adverse Tax consequence (taking into account any
foreign tax credit or other net benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation that would not otherwise be realized), as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be
required to be applied in compliance with this Section 3.7, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that clause (x) of this paragraph shall apply to such amounts so long, but
only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Issuer hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take all actions reasonably required by the applicable
local law, applicable organizational impediments or other impediment to permit such repatriation), and if such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law and is not subject to clause (y) of
this Section 3.7(c), then such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be applied (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) in compliance with this
Section 3.7; provided, further, that the aggregate amount of such Net Cash Proceeds retained pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 3.7(c) shall not exceed $200.0 million at any one
time outstanding. The time periods set forth in this Section 3.7 shall not start until such time as the Net Cash Proceeds may be repatriated (whether or not such repatriation actually occurs). 

(d)    Pending the final application of any such amount of Net Cash Proceeds, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may
temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest or utilize such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. Any amount of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not
invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 3.7(b) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that any amount of proceeds offered to Holders
pursuant to Section 3.7(b)(iii)(x) or pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer made at any time after the Asset Sale shall be deemed to have been applied 

  
 -73- 








 
as required and shall not be deemed to be Excess Proceeds without regard to the extent to which such offer is accepted by the Holders. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$75.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all Holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum
principal amount of such Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as appropriate, on a pro rata basis, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price, in the case of the Notes, in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal
amount thereof (or in the event such other Indebtedness was issued with original issue discount, 100.0% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or such lesser price with respect to Pari Passu Indebtedness, if any,
as may be provided by the terms of such other Indebtedness), to (but not including) the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and the agreement governing such Pari Passu Indebtedness.
The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that such Excess Proceeds exceed $75.0 million by transmitting electronically or by mailing to the Holders the notice required
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC. For the avoidance of doubt, for Global Notes held on behalf of DTC, such notice may be given by
electronic delivery of such notice to DTC. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds at any time prior to the
expiration of the application period or by electing to make an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds before the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $75.0 million.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and any other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered or otherwise surrendered in connection with an
Asset Sale Offer made with Excess Proceeds is less than the amount offered in an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (any such amount, “Retained Declined Proceeds”) for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered or otherwise surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount offered in an Asset Sale Offer, the Trustee shall select the Notes (and the
Issuer or its agents shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness) to be purchased in the manner described below. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. To the extent the Excess Proceeds
exceed the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes (and, if required by the terms thereof, all Pari Passu Indebtedness), the Issuer need only make an Asset Sale Offer up to the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes (and any
such Pari Passu Indebtedness), and any additional Excess Proceeds shall not be subject to this Section 3.7 and shall be permitted to be used for any purpose in the Issuer’s discretion. 

(e) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.7 by virtue of such compliance. 

(f) The provisions of this Section 3.7 relative to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the
Notes as a result of an Asset Sale may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 

(g) If more Notes are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Issuer is required to purchase, selection of such Notes for purchase
will be made in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed (so long as the Trustee or the Paying Agent knows of such listing) or, if such Notes are not listed, on a pro rata
basis based on the total amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered in connection with an Asset Sale Offer (with adjustments so that only Notes in denominations of the minimum denomination of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof shall be purchased) by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements and the procedures of DTC); provided that the selection of
Notes for purchase shall not result in a Holder with a principal amount of Notes less than the minimum denomination of $2,000. No Note will be repurchased in part if less than the minimum denomination of such Note would be left outstanding. 

  
 -74- 








 (h) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or sent
electronically, at least ten days but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC. If any Note is to be purchased in part only,
any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased. 

(i) A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of any Note (other than a Global Note) purchased in part will be issued in
the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the Note. On and after the purchase date, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the purchase price, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof purchased. 

SECTION 3.8. Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell,
lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of transactions, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or
guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer involving aggregate consideration in excess of $40.0 million (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted
Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and 

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $75.0 million, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, approving such Affiliate Transaction,
together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Board of Directors of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer determined or resolved that such Affiliate Transaction complies with
Section 3.8(a)(i). 
 (b) The provisions of Section 3.8(a) shall not apply to the
following: 
 (i) (a) transactions between or among the Issuer and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or an entity that
becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction) and (b) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Issuer and Parent or any other direct or indirect parent of the Issuer; provided that Parent or such parent
entity shall have no material liabilities and no material assets (other than cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock of the Issuer) and such merger, amalgamation or consolidation is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture
and effected for a bona fide business purpose; 
 (ii) (a) Restricted Payments permitted by this Indenture and (b) Permitted
Investments; 
 (iii) transactions in which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to
the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of Section 3.8(a)(i);

 (iv) payments, loans, advances or guarantees (or cancellation of loans, advances or guarantees) to employees, officers,
directors, managers, consultants or independent contractors for bona fide business purposes or in the ordinary course of business; 

  
 -75- 








 (v) any agreement or arrangement as in effect as of the Issue Date or as
thereafter amended, supplemented or replaced (so long as such amendment, supplement or replacement agreement is not materially disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes when taken as a whole as compared to the original agreement or arrangement as
in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction or payments contemplated thereby; 
 (vi) [Reserved]; 

(vii) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the
terms of, any stockholders or similar agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date or similar transactions, arrangements or agreements which it may enter
into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing transaction, arrangement or agreement
or under any similar transaction, arrangement or agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (vii) to the extent that the terms of any such existing transaction, arrangement or agreement, together with all
amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new transaction, arrangement or agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes, in any material respect when taken as a whole as compared with the original transaction, arrangement or
agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (viii) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers
of goods or services, in each case, in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, which are fair to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of
Directors or the senior management of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 

(ix) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Financing; 

(x) the sale, issuance or transfer of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer; 

(xi) [Reserved]; 

(xii) any contribution to the capital of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) or any investments by a direct or
indirect parent of the Issuer in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock of the Issuer) of the Issuer (and payment of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by a direct or indirect parent of the Issuer in connection
therewith); 
 (xiii) any transaction with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that would constitute an
Affiliate Transaction solely because the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an Equity Interest in or otherwise controls such Person; provided that no Affiliate of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer or a
Restricted Subsidiary) shall have a beneficial interest or otherwise participate in such Person; 
 (xiv) transactions
between the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person that would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because such Person is a director, or such Person has a director who is also a director, of the Issuer or any direct
or indirect parent of the Issuer; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Issuer or such direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, as the case may be, on any matter involving such
other Person; 
 (xv) the entering into of any tax sharing agreement or arrangement and any payments permitted by
Section 3.4(b)(xii), (xiii)(a) or (xiii)(e); 
 (xvi) [Reserved];

(xviii) the issuances of securities or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the
funding of, employment arrangements, equity purchase agreements, stock options and stock ownership plans or similar employee benefit plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer in
good faith; 
 (xix) (1) any employment, consulting, service or termination agreement, or customary indemnification
arrangements, entered into by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with current, former or future officers, directors, employees, managers, consultants and independent contractors of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
(or of any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer to the extent such agreements or arrangements are in respect of services performed for the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries), (2) any subscription agreement or similar agreement
pertaining to the repurchase of Equity Interests pursuant to put/call rights or similar rights with current, former or future officers, directors, employees, managers, consultants and independent contractors of the Issuer or any of its

long as non-Affiliates were also offered the opportunity to invest in such Indebtedness or preferred Equity Interests, and transactions with Affiliates solely in their capacity as holders of Indebtedness or preferred Equity Interests of the
Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, so long as such transaction is with all holders of such class (and there are such non-Affiliate holders) and such Affiliates are treated no more favorably than all other holders of such class generally;

SECTION 3.9. Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event after the Issue Date, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to
purchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the
date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the purchase date), except to the extent the Issuer has previously elected
to redeem Notes pursuant to Article V of this Indenture. 
 (b) Prior to or within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering
Event, except to the extent that the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described under Section 5.1, the Issuer shall deliver a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder with a
copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, describing: 
 (i) that a
Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred or, if the Change of Control Offer is being made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, that a Change of Control Triggering Event is expected to occur, and that such Holder has, or upon
such occurrence will have, the right to require the Issuer to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date of
purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the purchase date); 

(ii) the transaction or transactions that constitute, or are expected to constitute, such Change of Control Triggering Event;

 (iii) the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than ten days nor later than 60 days (unless delivered in advance of
the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event) from the date such notice is delivered) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 

(iv) that any Note not properly tendered shall remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 

(v) that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (vi) that Holders
electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the Paying Agent
specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(vii) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such
Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the expiration time of the Change of Control Offer, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of
Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; 

(viii) that if a Holder (other than a Holder of a Global Note) is tendering for purchase less than all of its Notes, the Issuer
will issue new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered and the unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 

  
 -78- 








 (ix) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control,
stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and 
 (x) the other
instructions determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 3.9, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased. 

While the Notes are in global form and the Issuer makes an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, a
Holder of the Notes may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the Notes to be made through the facilities of DTC, in accordance with the rules and regulations thereof. 

(c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, all Notes purchased by the Issuer under this Section 3.9 shall be
delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee or the Registrar for cancellation, and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including)the Change of Control Payment Date, to the Holders entitled
thereto. With respect to any Note purchased in part, the Issuer shall issue a new Note in a principal amount equal at maturity to the unpurchased portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note.

 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.9, the Issuer shall not be required to make a
Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event 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 Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Additionally, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if the Issuer has previously issued a
notice of a full redemption pursuant to Section 5.1. 
 (e) Prior to any Change of Control Offer, the Issuer shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Issuer to make such offer have been complied with. 

(f) The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.9. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
provisions of this Section 3.9, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.9 by virtue
of such compliance. 
 (g) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and conditioned upon
such Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 (h) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent permitted by law, 

(i) accept for payment all Notes issued by the Issuer or portions thereof validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer; 
 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in
respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and 
 (iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Registrar for
cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Registrar stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer. 

(i) At any time, the Issuer or a third party will have the right to redeem the Notes at 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the 

  
 -79- 








 
date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the purchase date)
following the consummation of a Change of Control if at least 90.0% of the applicable series of Notes outstanding prior to such date of purchase are purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer with respect to such Change of Control Offer. 

(j) The provisions of this Section 3.9 relating to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to purchase the
Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event, including the definition of “Change of Control” or “Change of Control Triggering Event,” may be waived or modified at any time (including after a Change of Control
Triggering Event) with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 

SECTION 3.10. Maintenance of Insurance. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall maintain with financially sound and reputable
insurance companies not Affiliates of the Issuer, insurance with respect to their properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of such types and in such
amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons. 
 SECTION 3.11. Additional
Guarantors. If, after the Issue Date, (a) any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (including any newly formed, newly acquired or newly redesignated Restricted Subsidiary, but excluding any Receivables Subsidiary, any Foreign Subsidiary, any
CFC and any CFC Holdco) that is not then a Guarantor guarantees or Incurs any Indebtedness under any Credit Agreement or (b) the Issuer otherwise elects to have any Restricted Subsidiary become a Guarantor, then, in each such case, the Issuer shall
cause such Restricted Subsidiary, in the case of clause (a) above, within 20 Business Days of the date that such Indebtedness under such Credit Agreement has been guaranteed or Incurred, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture
pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor under this Indenture providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture and applicable to the other
Guarantors. Such supplemental indenture shall include local law limitations to the extent applicable. A form of supplemental indenture for such purpose is attached as Exhibit D hereto. 

Each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Section 10.2(b). 

SECTION 3.12. Compliance Certificate; Statement by Officers as to Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within
120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer ending after the Issue Date, an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that to the best knowledge of the signer thereof on behalf of the Issuer, the Issuer is or is not in default in
the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Issuer (through its own action or omission or through the
action or omission of any Guarantor as applicable) shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which such signer may have knowledge. The individual signing any certificate given by any Person pursuant
to this Section 3.12 shall be the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of such Person or the direct or indirect parent of such Person, in compliance with TIA § 314(a)(4). 

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

SECTION 3.13. [Reserved].

SECTION 3.14. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Board of Directors of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer may designate any Subsidiary of the
Issuer (including any existing Subsidiary and any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary of the Issuer) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary or any of its Subsidiaries owns any Equity Interests or Indebtedness of, or owns
or holds any Lien on any 

  
 -80- 








 
property of, the Issuer or any other Subsidiary of the Issuer that is not a Subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated; provided, however, that the Subsidiary to be so
designated and its Subsidiaries do not at the time of designation have any Indebtedness pursuant to which the lender has recourse to any of the assets of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, further,
however, that either: 
 (i) the Subsidiary to be so designated has total consolidated assets of $1,000 or less; or

 (ii) if such Subsidiary has consolidated assets greater than $1,000, then such designation would be permitted under
Section 3.4. 
 (b) The Board of Directors of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer
may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that immediately after giving effect to such designation: 

(x) (1) the Issuer could Incur $1.00 of Ratio Debt or (2) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted
Subsidiaries would be equal to or greater than such ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such designation, 
 in each
case on a Pro Forma Basis taking into account such designation, and 
 (y) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. 
 (c) Any designation by the Board of Directors of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer pursuant
to this Section 3.14 shall be evidenced to the Trustee by promptly filing with the Trustee a copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer giving
effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with this Section 3.14. 

SECTION 3.15. Covenant Suspension.

(a) If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from two of the Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default
has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), Sections 3.3, 3.4,
3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.11 and 4.1(a)(1)(iv) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) shall no longer be applicable to the Notes. 

(b) In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any
period of time pursuant to Section 3.15(a) (any such period, a “Suspension Period”), and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) that, due to the withdrawal of their Investment Grade
Rating or the downgrade of the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, the Notes no longer have an Investment Grade Rating from two of the Rating Agencies, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again
be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. 
 (c) Upon the occurrence of a Covenant
Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Cash Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (d) With respect to Restricted Payments
made after the Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made shall be calculated as though Section 3.4 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. No Subsidiary may be designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary during the Suspension Period unless such designation would have complied with Section 3.4 as if Section 3.4 were in effect during such period. In addition, all
Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(iii). In addition, for purposes of
Section 3.8, all agreements and arrangements entered into by the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary with an Affiliate of the Issuer during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date shall be deemed to have been
entered into pursuant to Section 3.8(b)(v), and for 

  
 -81- 








 
purposes of Section 3.6, all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such
Section 3.6 shall be deemed to have been entered into pursuant to Section 3.6(b)(i). Any Change of Control during such Suspension Period shall not require a Change of Control Offer during or
after the Suspension Period. 
 (e) During the Suspension Period, the Guarantees will be automatically released and the obligation to grant
further Guarantees pursuant to Section 3.11 will be suspended. Upon the Reversion Date, the obligation to grant Guarantees pursuant to Section 3.11 will be reinstated (and the Reversion Date will be deemed to be the
date on which any guaranteed Indebtedness was Incurred for purposes of Section 3.11). 
 (f) During the Suspension
Period, any reference in the definitions of “Permitted Liens” or “Unrestricted Subsidiary” to Section 3.3 or any provision thereof shall be construed as if Section 3.3 had
remained in effect since the Issue Date and during the Suspension Period. 
 (g) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be
reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of any failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during any Suspension Period, and the Issuer and any Subsidiary of the Issuer will be permitted, without
causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of any of the Suspended Covenants (notwithstanding the reinstatement thereof) under this Indenture, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into
during a Suspension Period following a Reversion Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that, to the extent any such commitment or obligation results in the making of a Restricted Payment, such Restricted
Payment shall be made under Section 3.4(a)(C) or Section 3.4(b) and if not permitted by Section 3.4(a)(C) or Section 3.4(b), such Restricted
Payment shall be deemed permitted by Section 3.4(a)(C) and shall be deducted for purposes of calculating the amount pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(C) (so that the amount available under
Section 3.4(a)(C) immediately following such Restricted Payment shall be negative).
 The Issuer shall provide an
Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee indicating the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date. The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any
determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ future compliance with their covenants or (iii) notify the Holders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion
Date. 
 SECTION 3.16. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that
they may lawfully do so) that they 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 Issuer and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they 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 3.17. Payment of Additional Amounts on the Notes. 

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor (including, in each case, any successor entity) (each, a
“Payor”) in respect of the Notes or with respect to any Guarantee thereof, as applicable, will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes unless the withholding or deduction of
such Taxes is then required by law. If, after the occurrence of a European Domicile Transaction (as defined in Section 4.1(a)(1)(i), any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or
on behalf of: 
 (1) any jurisdiction from or through which payment on any Note or Guarantee thereof is made, or any
political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax; or 

  
 -82- 








 (2) any other jurisdiction in which a Payor is organized, engaged in business for
tax purposes, or otherwise considered to be a resident for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax 

(each of clause (1) and (2), a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), will at any time be required by law to be made from any payments made by or
on behalf of the Payor or the paying agent with respect to any Note or Guarantee thereof, including payments of principal, redemption price, interest or premium, if any, the Payor will pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (the
“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments, after such withholding or deduction (including any such withholding or deduction from such Additional Amounts), will not
be less than the amounts which would have been received in respect of such payments on any such Note or Guarantee thereof in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no such Additional Amounts will be
payable for or on account of: 
 (1) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or
former connection between the relevant Holder or beneficial owner of the Note (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, partner or shareholder of, or possessor of power over the relevant Holder or beneficial owner, if the relevant
Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, being resident for tax purposes, or being a citizen or resident or
national of, or carrying on a business or maintaining a permanent establishment in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) but excluding, in each case, any connection arising solely from the acquisition, ownership or holding of such Note or the receipt
of any payment or the exercise or enforcement of rights under such Note, the Indenture or a Guarantee of such Note; 
 (2)
any Tax that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Note to provide an applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (with any required attachments) or
W-9 or to comply with a written request of the Payor addressed to the Holder, after reasonable notice (at least 60 days before any such withholding or deduction would be made), to provide other certification,
information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or to make any declaration or similar claim or satisfy any other reporting requirement relating to such matters, which
is required by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such Tax but, only to the extent the Holder or beneficial owner is legally entitled to
provide such certification or documentation; 
 (3) any Taxes, to the extent that such Taxes were imposed as a result of the
presentation of the Note for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder; 

(4) any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from a payment on or with respect to the Notes or any
Guarantee thereof; 
 (5) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes; 

(6) any Taxes imposed in connection with a Note presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner who would
have been able to avoid such Tax by presenting the Note to, or otherwise accepting payment from, another paying agent in a member state of the European Union; 

(7) any Taxes imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor version that is
substantively comparable), any current or future regulations or agreements thereunder, official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code (or any amended or successor version that is
substantively comparable), or any law, legislation, rules or practices implementing an intergovernmental agreement relating thereto; 

  
 -83- 








 (8) any Taxes imposed as a result of the Holder or beneficial owner being or
having been (i) a “10-percent shareholder” of the Issuer as defined in Section 871(h)(3) of the Code or any successor provision or (ii) a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Issuer within the meaning of
Section 864(d)(4) of the Code or any successor provision; 
 (9) any Taxes imposed as a result of the Holder or
beneficial owner being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or any successor
provision; 
 (10) any Taxes imposed by reason of the Holder’s or beneficial owner’s past or present status as a
passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign tax exempt organization or a personal holding company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;
or 
 (11) any combination of the items (1) through (10) above. 

(b) No Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to a Holder who is a fiduciary or a partnership or limited liability company or any
person other than the beneficial owner of the Notes, to the extent that the beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, the member of such partnership or limited liability company or the beneficial owner would not have been entitled to
Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held such Notes directly. 
 (c) The applicable withholding
agent will (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Payor will use all
reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and will provide such certified copies, or if, notwithstanding the
Payor’s reasonable efforts to obtain such tax receipts, such tax receipts are not available, other reasonable evidence of such payments as soon as reasonably practicable to the Trustee. Such copies or other evidence shall be made available
to the Holders upon reasonable request and will be made available at the offices of the paying agent. 
 (d) If any Payor is obligated to
pay Additional Amounts under or with respect to any payment made on any Note or Guarantee of a Note, at least 30 days prior to the date of such payment, the Payor will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that
Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises less than 45 days prior to the relevant payment date, in which case the Payor may deliver such Officer’s
Certificate as promptly as practicable after the date that is 30 days prior to the payment date). The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely, without further inquiry, on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are
necessary. 
 (e) Wherever in this Indenture or the Notes there is mentioned, in any context: 

(1) the payment of principal; 

(2) purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Notes; 

(3) interest; or 

(4) any other amount payable on or with respect to any Guarantee of a Note, 

such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable
in respect thereof. 

  
 -84- 








 (f) After the occurrence of a European Domicile Transaction, the Payor will pay and indemnify the
Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes for any present or future stamp, transfer, issue, registration, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise, property or similar taxes or similar charges or levies (including any related interest or
penalties with respect thereto) that arise in a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, or receipt of payments with respect to, any Note or any Guarantee of a Note, this Indenture, or any other
document or instrument in relation thereto (other than in each case, in connection with a transfer of the Notes after offering and limited, solely to the extent of such taxes or similar charges or levies that arise from the receipt of any payments
of principal or interest on the Notes, to any such taxes or similar charges or levies that are not excluded under clauses (1) through (3) and (5) through (10)). 

The foregoing obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to
any jurisdiction in which any successor to a Payor is organized, engaged in business for tax purposes or otherwise resident for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which any payment under, or with respect to the Notes or Guarantees
thereof is made by or on behalf of such Payor, or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein. 
 ARTICLE
IV 
 Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets 

SECTION 4.1. When the Issuer and the Guarantors May Merge or Otherwise Dispose of Assets.

(a) (1) The Issuer may not consolidate, merge or amalgamate with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving Person),
or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to any Person (other than the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Issuer into any
Guarantor); provided that to the extent the Issuer merges into any Guarantor, after such merger, an entity that is organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia shall
become an obligor of the Notes unless: 
 (i) the Issuer is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any
such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or winding up (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation, limited liability company or trust organized
or existing under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia, or any member of the European Union (as it is constituted on the Issue Date) (the Issuer or such Person, as the case may be, being herein
called the “Successor Company” and any such transaction resulting in an entity organized or existing under the laws of any member state of the European Union becoming a Successor Company, a “European Domicile
Transaction”) and, if such entity is not organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia, an obligor of the Notes is organized or existing under such laws; 

(ii) the Successor Company (if other than the Issuer) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under this
Indenture and the Notes pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments; 
 (iii) immediately after
giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(iv) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the
applicable four-quarter period, either: 

  
 -85- 








 (1) the Issuer (or a Successor Company to the Issuer, if applicable) would be
permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness as Ratio Debt; or 
 (2) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the
Issuer (or a Successor Company to the Issuer, if applicable) and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or greater than such ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; 

(v) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above shall have by supplemental indenture

(2) The Successor Company (if other than the Issuer) will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes,
and (if the Successor Company is other than the Issuer) the Issuer will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 4.1, (a) the Issuer may
consolidate or amalgamate with, merge into or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or part of its properties and assets to any Guarantor, (b) the Issuer may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with an Affiliate of the
Issuer incorporated or organized solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Issuer in another state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States or any member of the European Union (as it is
constituted on the Issue Date), so long as the principal amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby (unless such increase is permitted by this Indenture), (c) the Issuer may convert into a
corporation, limited liability company or trust organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Issuer, or the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia; provided

substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person unless: 
 (i) (A) such
Guarantor is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or winding up (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will
have been made is a corporation, partnership, limited partnership or limited liability company or trust organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia or, in the case of a

called the “Successor Guarantor”); 
 (B) the Successor Guarantor (if other than such Guarantor) expressly
assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture and such Guarantor’s Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments; 

(C) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the
Successor Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Guarantor or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing; and 

  
 -86-

(1) a Guarantor may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with an Affiliate of the Issuer incorporated or organized solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing such Guarantor in the United States, any state or territory thereof or the
District of Columbia or any member of the European Union on the Issue Date, so long as the principal amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby (unless such increase is permitted by this
Indenture), (2) a Guarantor may (a) consolidate, merge or amalgamate with or into or wind up into, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, the Issuer or a Guarantor

Section 4.1, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Issuer, which properties and assets, if
held by the Issuer instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and
assets of the Issuer. 
 ARTICLE V 

Redemption of Notes 

SECTION 5.1. Optional Redemption.

(a) The Notes of any series may be redeemed, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, subject to the conditions and at the
redemption prices set forth in Paragraph 6 of the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the
Redemption Date. 
 (b) In connection with any redemption of Notes (including with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering), any such
redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, consummation of any related Equity Offering. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of
one or more conditions precedent, any notice in respect of such redemption shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be 

  
 -87- 








 
delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be modified or
rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed (which may exceed 60 days from the date of the
redemption notice in such case). In addition, such notice of redemption may be extended if such conditions precedent have not been met by providing notice to the Holders. 

(c) Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called
for redemption on the applicable Redemption Date. 
 SECTION 5.2. Redemption of Notes for Tax Reasons.

(a) The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time upon giving not less than 30 days’ prior notice to the Holders
of such Notes (which notice will be irrevocable) at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date fixed for redemption (a “Tax Redemption
Date”) (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date
as a result of the redemption or otherwise, if the Issuer determines in good faith that, as a result of: 
 (1) any change
in, or amendment to, the law or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined below); or 

(2) any amendment to, or change in an official written application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties,
regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice or revenue guidance) 

(each of the foregoing in clauses (1) and (2), a “Change in Tax Law”), a Payor (as defined below) is, or on the next interest payment date in
respect of such Notes would be, required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such Notes, and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Payor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a
new paying agent where this would be reasonable, but not including assignment of the obligation to make payment with respect to such Notes). Such Change in Tax Law must (i) not have been publicly announced before the Issue Date and (ii) become
effective on or after the Issue Date (or if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date). The foregoing provisions shall apply (a) to a Guarantor only after
such time as such Guarantor is obligated to make at least one payment on such Notes and (b) mutatis mutandis to any successor Person, after such successor Person becomes a party to the Indenture, with respect to a change or amendments
occurring after the time such successor Person becomes a party to this Indenture. 
 (b) Notice of redemption for taxation reasons will be
published in accordance with the procedures described in Section 5.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption will be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Payor would
be obligated to make such payment of Additional Amounts. Prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of any Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee, (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that they are entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to their right so to redeem have been satisfied and (b) an opinion of an
independent tax counsel of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the Payor has been or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee will
accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on
the holders. 
 SECTION 5.3. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee of Optional and Mandatory Redemptions. If the Issuer
elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 5.1, the Issuer shall furnish to the 

  
 -88- 








 
Trustee and the Paying Agent, at least two Business Days for Global Notes and 10 calendar days for Definitive Notes before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to
Holders pursuant to Section 5.5, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (a) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (b) the
Redemption Date, (c) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (d) the redemption price. The Issuer may also include a request in such Officer’s Certificate that the Trustee or the Paying Agent give the notice of redemption in
the Issuer’s name and at its expense and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 5.5. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, such
documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, to select the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.4. 

SECTION 5.4. Selection by Trustee of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes of a series are to be redeemed at
any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes of such series for redemption in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed (so long as the Trustee knows of such listing), or
if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements and in the case of Global Notes, the procedures of
DTC, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that the selection of Notes for redemption shall not result in a Holder of Notes with a principal amount of Notes less than the minimum
denomination. If any Note is to be purchased or redeemed in part only, the notice of purchase or redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased or redeemed. A new
Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note in accordance with Section 5.8. On and after the Redemption
Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on, the Notes to be redeemed. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the
case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture,
unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be
redeemed. 
 SECTION 5.5. Notice of Redemption. The Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail to each
Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed not less than ten nor more than 60 days prior to a date fixed for redemption (a
“Redemption Date”); provided, however, that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued pursuant to Article VIII or, in the case of a redemption that is
subject to one or more conditions precedent, if the Redemption Date is extended as permitted under this Indenture. At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee or the Paying Agent may give notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and
at the Issuer’s expense. 
 All notices of redemption shall be prepared by the Issuer and shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date, 

(b) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date payable as provided in
Section 5.7, if any, 
 (c) if less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the
identification of the particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption, 

  
 -89- 








 (d) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to
such Note shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the Holder shall receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, 

(e) that on the Redemption Date the redemption price (and accrued interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date payable as
provided in Section 5.7, if any) shall become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and, unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment, that interest on Notes called for
redemption (or the portion thereof) shall cease to accrue on and after said date, 
 (f) the place or places where such Notes
are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any, 
 (g) the name and address of the
Paying Agent, 
 (h) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption
price, 
 (i) the CUSIP or ISIN number, as applicable, and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness
of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes, and 
 (j) the Section of this
Indenture pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed. 
 At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption
in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days prior to the date when a redemption notice is sent (or any shorter period as the Trustee
may agree in writing), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. Such Officer’s Certificate shall state
that all conditions precedent to the delivery of such notice have been complied with. 
 SECTION 5.6. Deposit of Redemption
Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 2.4) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date. 

SECTION 5.7. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be
redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified (together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default
in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall
be paid by the Issuer at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest
Payment Date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date). 
 If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof
for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes. 

If a Redemption Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no further interest shall be payable to Holders whose Notes shall be subject to redemption by the Issuer. 

  
 -90- 








 SECTION 5.8. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note which is to be redeemed only in
part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article) shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 (with, if the Issuer so requires, due endorsement by, or a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee (or Authenticating Agent, as applicable)
upon receipt of an Authentication Order shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note at the expense of the Issuer, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered, provided that each such new Note shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof. 
 SECTION 5.9. Offer to Repurchase. In the event that, pursuant to Section 3.7,
the Issuer is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase the Notes (an “Offer to Repurchase”), it shall follow the procedures specified below: 

(a) The Offer to Repurchase shall remain open for a period of at least 10 days following its commencement and not more than 60 days, except to
the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer shall apply all
Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, if any (in each instance, on a pro rata basis, if applicable), or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other
Indebtedness tendered in response to the Offer to Repurchase. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made pursuant to Section 3.1. 

(b) If the Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase. 

(c) Upon the commencement of an Offer to Repurchase, the Issuer shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and
each of the Holders. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Offer to Repurchase, shall
state: 
 (i) that the Offer to Repurchase is being made pursuant to this Section 5.9 and
Section 3.7, and the length of time the Offer to Repurchase shall remain open; 
 (ii) the Offer
Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 
 (iii) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue
to accrue interest; 
 (iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant
to the Offer to Repurchase shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 
 (v) that Holders electing to have a
Note purchased pursuant to an Offer to Repurchase may elect to have Notes purchased in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only; 

(vi) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Offer to Repurchase shall be required to surrender the Note,
with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, the Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the
notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 

  
 -91- 








 (vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer,
the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than on the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes the
Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased; 

(viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness, if any, surrendered by
Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall select the Notes and, if applicable, the Issuer shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased or prepaid, on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount
of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness, if any, surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof shall be purchased);
and 
 (ix) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
 (d) On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer
shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes
tendered, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or to the Paying Agent, the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer
in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.9. The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to
each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer, shall
authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or
delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Offer to Repurchase on the Purchase Date. 

ARTICLE VI 
 Defaults
and Remedies 
 SECTION 6.1. Events of Default. Each of the following is an Event of Default with respect to the Notes:

 (i) a default in any payment of interest on any Note when due, continued for 30 days; 

(ii) a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, of any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional
redemption (in the case of optional redemption, to the extent such Event of Default arises from the failure to pay the redemption price that is then due and is not subject to any conditions in connection with such optional redemption that have not
been satisfied), upon required purchase, upon acceleration or otherwise; 
 (iii) the failure by the Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary to comply for 60 days after receipt of written notice with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements (other than a default pursuant to Sections 6.1(i) or 6.1(ii)) contained in the Notes or this Indenture;
provided that in the case of a failure to comply with Section 3.2, such period of continuance of such default or breach shall be 120 days; 

(iv) the failure by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to pay the principal amount of any Indebtedness for borrowed money
(other than Indebtedness for borrowed money owing to 

  
 -92- 








 
the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in each
case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid at final maturity or acceleration exceeds $75.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent; 

(v) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(1) commences a voluntary case; 

(2) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in any voluntary case; 

(3) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or 

(4) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; 

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

(1) is for relief against the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

(2) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property; or 

(3) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary; 

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; 

(vii) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary to pay final and non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of
$75.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent insurance companies), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days after such
judgment becomes final and, in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed; or 

(viii) the Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms
thereof or of this Indenture), or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary denies in writing that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives written notice to such effect (other than by reason of the termination or discharge of
this Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture) and such Default continues for ten days. 
 The
foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule
or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 
 However, a default under Section 6.1(iii) shall not
constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30.0% in principal amount of outstanding Notes notify the Issuer in writing of the default and such default is not cured within the time specified in
Section 6.1(iii) after receipt 

  
 -93- 








 
of such notice; provided that if such default is only with respect to one series of Notes (or less than all series of Notes) then outstanding under this Indenture, then only Holders of at
least 30.0% in principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series shall be required to notify the Issuer in writing of the default in accordance with this paragraph. 

SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(v) or (vi) above with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30.0% in principal amount of outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer may declare the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest, on all Notes to be due and payable; provided that if such Event of Default is only with respect to one series of Notes (or less than all series of Notes) then outstanding under
this Indenture, then only Holders of at least 30.0% in principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series shall be required to declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest, on all Notes to be due and payable in
accordance with this Section 6.2. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default arising from Section 6.1(v) or (vi)
of the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. 

SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to a series of Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of such series, this Indenture (including sums owed to the Trustee and its
agents and counsel) and the Guarantees. 
 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 in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the
Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 
 SECTION 6.4.
Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of the Notes, by notice to the Trustee may, in accordance with Section 9.2, waive, rescind or cancel any declaration of an existing or past Default or Event of Default and its
consequences under this Indenture if such waiver, rescission or cancellation would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium on, or the principal of, the Notes
(other than such nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due as a result of such acceleration). 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. 

In the event of any Event of Default arising from Section 6.1(iv), such Event of Default and all consequences
thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if prior to 20 days after
such Event of Default arose, the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the Holders thereof have rescinded or
waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured. 

SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a series may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with
law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory
to it against any loss, liability or expense. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to security or indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses
that may be caused by taking or not taking such action. 

  
 -94- 








 SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. In case an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to
it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

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

(ii) Holders of at least 30.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the applicable series have
requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it in respect of any loss, liability or expense; 
 (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such
request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (v) the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 

SECTION 6.7. [Reserved].

SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(i) or
(ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful)
and the amounts provided for in Section 7.6. 
 SECTION 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its Subsidiaries or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may
vote on behalf of the Holders (pursuant to the written direction of Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of the applicable series) in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar
functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the
Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6. 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 or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or
to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in such proceeding. 
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. The
Trustee shall pay out any money or property received by it in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee and
Agents, as applicable, for amounts due under Section 7.6; 
 Second: to Holders for
amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively;
and 

  
 -95- 








 Third: to the Issuer or, to the extent the Trustee receives any
amount for any Guarantor, to such Guarantor as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and
payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer (or Trustee) shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to
be paid. 
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require 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, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes. 

ARTICLE VII 

Trustee  

SECTION 7.1. Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, in the exercise of its rights and powers under this Indenture,
use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise of such rights and powers as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs, subject to the provisions of clause (h) below. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Trust Officer has actual knowledge, the Trustee and the Agents, as
applicable: 
 (i) undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee or the Agents; and 
 (ii) in the
absence of gross negligence or bad faith on its part, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee under this Indenture,
the Notes and the Guarantees, as applicable. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and
opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees as the case may be (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

 (c) Each of the Trustee and the Agents, as applicable, shall not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this Section 7.1(c)
does not limit the effect of Section 7.1(b); 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by its respective Trust Officer or Trust Officers unless it is proved in a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5.

fiduciary duty or other obligation towards any Person, including the Issuer. 
 (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee (in any capacity) or
any Paying Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (g) [Reserved]. 

(h) No provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees shall require the Trustee or an Agent to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity
satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (i) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee and the Agents, as applicable, shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1. 

(j) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee, security, prefunding or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities that
might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (k) Money held for the benefit of Holders by any Agent need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee and the Agents may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or any other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. The Trustee and the Agents need not investigate any fact
or matter stated in the document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting (except in connection with (x) the original
issuance of Notes on the Issue Date and (y), with respect to an Opinion of Counsel, the execution of any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture), it may require an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer or an
Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys, custodians, nominees and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence
of or for the supervision of any agent, custodians, nominees or attorney appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for
any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence as determined
in a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) Each of the Trustee and the Agents, as applicable, may
consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to
any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under the Notes and the Guarantees in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

  
 -97-

warranty or representation, or the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or other paper or document made or in connection with this Indenture;
moreover, the Trustee and the Agents shall not be bound to make any investigation into (i) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (ii) the occurrence of any default, or the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Indenture or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (iii) the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,

and, if the Trustee or an Agent, as applicable, shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney and shall incur no
liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except any Default or Event of Default of which a Trust Officer shall have (x) received written notification from the Issuer or a Holder at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and such notice
references the Notes and this Indenture or (y) obtained “actual knowledge.” “Actual knowledge” shall mean the actual fact or statement of knowing by a Trust Officer without independent investigation with respect thereto.

 (h) In no event shall the Trustee or an Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee or Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

(i) 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 each agent (including the Agents), custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, re-filing or redepositing of any thereof or (B) to see to any insurance.

 -98- 








 SECTION 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. Subject to the TIA, the Trustee, in
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, the Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Paying Agent,
Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.9. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the
Issuer; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest, (ii) apply to the SEC for permission to continue
acting as Trustee or (iii) resign. 
 SECTION 7.4. Disclaimer. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be responsible for
and neither of them makes any representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees, neither of them shall be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the Notes or the proceeds from the Notes, and neither of
them shall be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication or for the use or application
of any funds received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs
and is continuing and is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after it is known to the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if
any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders. 

SECTION 7.6. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) and the
Agents from time to time such compensation for their services as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee and the Agents upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other
documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable costs of counsel, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) or any predecessor Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including as an Agent or
Registrar, if applicable), and each of their officers, directors, employees, counsel and agents, against any and all loss, liability or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in
connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of their duties hereunder and under the Notes and the Guarantees, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this
Section 7.6), the Notes and the Guarantees and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or otherwise). The Trustee and the Agents shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim
for which they may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or an Agent to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee and the Agents may have separate
counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or an Agent as a result of its own willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the Issuer’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 other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The right of the Trustee to receive payment of any amounts due under this
Section 7.6 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Issuer. 
 The Issuer’s
obligations pursuant to this Section and any lien arising hereunder shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or an Agent. When the Trustee or an Agent incurs expenses
after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.1(v) or (vi) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

  
 -99- 








 Pursuant to Section 10.1, the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are
jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. 
 SECTION 7.7. Replacement of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may resign at
any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Issuer and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the
Trustee if: 
 (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9; 

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders do not
reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. 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 a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.6. All costs reasonably incurred in connection with
any resignation or removal hereunder shall be borne by the Issuer. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of at least 10.0% in principal amount of the Notes may petition, at the Issuer’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed,
any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Issuer’s obligations under
Article 7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring or removed Trustee or for the benefit of the Trustee or any removed or retiring Trustee following termination of this Indenture. 

(b) Any Agent may resign its appointment upon not less than 30 days’ notice to the Issuer; provided, however, that: 

(i) if such resignation would otherwise take effect less than 30 days before or after the maturity date or other date for redemption of the
Notes or any interest payment date in relation to the Notes, such resignation will not take effect until the 30th day following such date; 

(ii) such resignation shall not take effect until a successor has been duly appointed by the Issuer, and notice of such appointment has been
given to the Holders. 
 (c) If any Agent gives notice of its resignation in accordance with Section 7.7(b) and a
successor thereto has not been duly appointed by the Issuer by the 10th day before the expiry of such notice, such Agent may itself, following such consultation with the Issuer as is practicable in the circumstances, appoint as its successor any
reputable and experienced financial institution and give notice of such appointment to the Issuer, the other Agents and the Holders, whereupon the Issuer, the other Agents and the successor appointed pursuant to this
Section 7.7(c) shall acquire and become subject to the same 

  
 -100- 








 
rights and obligations between themselves as if they had entered into an agreement in the form mutatis mutandis of this Indenture. None of Section 7.7(b) or
Section 7.7(c) shall apply to the Trustee acting in any such Agent capacities. 
 SECTION 7.8. Successor
Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee, consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or
transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by
merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication
of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 

SECTION 7.9. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as
set forth in its most recent filed annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements
of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b). 
 SECTION 7.10. Limitation on Duty of
Trustee. The Trustee shall not have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees by the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other Person. 

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding
any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 

SECTION 7.12. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. Within 60 days after each September 22, beginning with
September 22, 2017, the Trustee shall deliver to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the
reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). 

The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when any Notes are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

ARTICLE VIII  

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance 

SECTION 8.1. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further
effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes of a series when: 

(a) either (i) all the Notes of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes pursuant to
Section 2.7 which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from
such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, for cancellation or (ii) all of the Notes of such series not previously delivered to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, for cancellation (a) have become
due and payable, (b) shall become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within 

  
 -101- 








 
one year or (c) have been called for redemption or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, for the
giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee or the Paying Agent in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent funds in cash in
U.S. Dollars and U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, for
cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be, together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer directing the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as
applicable, to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (b) the Issuer
and/or the Guarantors have paid all other sums payable under this Indenture with respect to such series of Notes; and 
 (c)
The Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 

Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Notes of a series
and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) and have each Guarantor’s obligation discharged with respect to its Guarantee and cure any then-existing Events of Default (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations
under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 and the operation of Section 4.1 (other than Sections 4.1(a)(1)(i), (ii) and
(vi)) and Sections 6.1(iii) (with respect to any Default under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10), 6.1(iv), 6.1(v) (with respect to
Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer only), 6.1(vi) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer only) and 6.1(vii) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Issuer may exercise its legal
defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of the covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Issuer terminates all of its obligations under the Notes of a series and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) by exercising the
legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee of such Notes shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations. 

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(iii) (with respect to any Default by the
Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with any of their obligations under Article III other than Sections 3.1, 3.11, 3.15), 6.1(iv), 6.1(v) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer),
6.1(vi) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer) or 6.1(vii). 
 Upon satisfaction of the conditions
set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminate. 

(d) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.3, 2.4,
2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 7.6, 7.7 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.6, 8.5 and 8.6 shall
survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 SECTION 8.2. Conditions to Defeasance.

(a) The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if: 

(i) the Issuer irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited in trust with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars or U.S. Government
Obligations, the principal of and the interest on which shall be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium (if any) 

  
 -102- 








 
and interest on the applicable Notes when due at maturity or redemption, as the case may be (provided that if such redemption is made pursuant to Paragraph 6(b) of the form of Note set
forth in Exhibit A hereto (or any corresponding paragraph of a Global Note or a Definitive Note), (x) the amount of money or U.S. Government Obligations that the Issuer must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited will be determined
using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit, as calculated by the Issuer in good faith, and (y) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the redemption date as
necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined on such date); 
 (ii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate
from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without
investment shall provide cash at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all such Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940; 
 (vi) in the case
of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) since the date of this
Indenture there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal
income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and shall 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred;

 (vii) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at

 SECTION 8.4. Repayment to Issuer. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon Company Order 

  
 -103- 








 
any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable; provided that the
Trustee or the Paying Agent shall not be required to liquidate any U.S. Government Obligations in order to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.4. 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held

SECTION 8.5. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee or the Paying

and each Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all
such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Issuer or any of the Guarantors has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent. 
 ARTICLE IX  

Amendments 

SECTION 9.1. Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.2 hereof, this Indenture, the
Notes and Guarantees may be amended or supplemented by the Issuer, any Guarantor (with respect to this Indenture or a Guarantee to which it is a party) and the Trustee without notice to or consent of any Holder: 

(i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency identified in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to
the Trustee by or on behalf of the Issuer; 
 (ii) to conform the text of this Indenture (including any supplemental
indenture or other instrument pursuant to which Additional Notes are issued), the Guarantees or the Notes to the “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum or, with respect to any Additional Notes and any supplemental indenture or
other instrument pursuant to which such Additional Notes are issued, to the “Description of Notes” relating to the issuance of such Additional Notes, solely to the extent that such “Description of Notes” provides for terms of
such Additional Notes that differ from the terms of the Initial Notes, as contemplated by Section 2.2; 

(iii) to comply with Section 4.1; 

(iv) to provide for the assumption by a successor Person of the obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor under this Indenture
and the Notes or Guarantee, as the case may be; 
 (v) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Notes; provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code; 

  
 -104- 








 (vi) (A) to add or release Guarantees in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture with respect to the Notes or (B) to add co-issuers of the Notes to the extent it does not result in adverse tax consequences to the Holders; 

(vii) to secure the Notes; 

(viii) to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred

violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; 

(xii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee, provided that the successor
Trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (xiii) to provide for or
confirm the issuance of Additional Notes. 
 SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders.

(a) This Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) and any existing or past Default or Event of Default or
compliance with any provisions of such documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding other than the Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates (including,
without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such series of the Notes); provided that (x) if any such amendment or waiver will only affect one series of Notes (or less than all
series of Notes) then outstanding under this Indenture, then only the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) shall be required, and (y) if any such amendment or waiver by its terms will affect a series of Notes in a manner different from and materially adverse relative to the manner in which such
amendment or waiver affects other series of Notes, then the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or
tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) shall be required. However, without the consent of each Holder of a Note affected (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Notes held by Affiliates), no amendment, supplement or waiver may (with
respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (i) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for
payment of interest on any Note; 
 (iii) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Note; 

  
 -105- 








 (iv) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or
interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration; 

(v) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed as
described under Section 5.1; 
 (vi) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in such
Note; 
 (vii) impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such
Holder’s Notes; 
 (viii) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions of this Indenture that require each
Holder’s consent, as described in clauses (i) through (vii) above; 
 (ix) make any change in the provisions of this
Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; or 

(x) make the Notes or any Guarantee subordinated in right of payment to any other obligations. 

(b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form
of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion of any of the covenants contained in Article III of this Indenture shall be
deemed to impair or affect any rights of Holders of Notes to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes. 

(c) After an amendment under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Issuer shall (or shall cause the Trustee, at
the expense of and at the written request of the Issuer, to) mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not in any way impair
or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.2. 
 SECTION 9.3. Effect of Consents and
Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation
of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 9.2(a), in which
case the amendment or waiver or other action shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Notes. An amendment or waiver made pursuant to
Section 9.2 shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents. 
 The
Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If
a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to take any
such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. 
 SECTION 9.4. Notation on or Exchange of
Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the
Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation
or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 

  
 -106- 








 SECTION 9.5. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment,
supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not, in the sole determination of the Trustee, adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it
does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article IX, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) shall be fully
protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by or complies with this Indenture, that all conditions precedent to
such amendment required by this Indenture have been complied with and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms, subject to
customary exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture. 

ARTICLE X 
 Guarantees 

SECTION 10.1. Guarantees.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article X, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally
guarantees, as guarantor and not as a surety, with each other Guarantor, to each Holder of the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other Obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the
commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding and the obligations under
Section 7.6) (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guarantor Obligations”). Each Guarantor agrees (to the extent lawful) that the Guarantor Obligations may be extended or
renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guarantor Obligation. 

(b) Each Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guarantor
Obligations and also waives (to the extent lawful) notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) notice of any default under the Notes or the Guarantor Obligations. 

(c) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection)
and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guarantor Obligations. 
 (d)
Except as set forth in Section 10.2 and Article VIII, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the
Guarantor Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not (to the extent lawful) be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of
the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guarantor Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not (to the extent lawful) be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or
renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder for the Guarantor Obligations or
any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership 

  
 -107- 








 
of the Issuer; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guarantor Obligations; or (h) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or
thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

(e) Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guarantor
Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Guarantee in compliance with Section 4.1, Section 10.2 and Article VIII. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder
upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 
 (f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other
right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Guarantor Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption
or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
unpaid amount of such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after the filing of any
petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding). 

(g) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of
the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantor
Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the
purposes of this Guarantee. 
 (h) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section. 
 (i) None of the Issuer or the
Guarantors shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof and any such notation shall not be a condition to the validity of any Guarantee. 

(j) Each Guarantee of a Guarantor not organized under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of
Columbia shall be subject to limitations in accordance with local law in the jurisdiction of organization of the applicable Guarantor, in each case to the extent applicable.     

SECTION 10.2. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to
the maximum amount as shall, 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 Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal
or state law or the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

  
 -108- 








 (b) A Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged, and each Guarantor and its obligations under the Guarantee and this Indenture shall be released and discharged upon: 

(1) the sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer (including through merger, consolidation or dissolution) of (x) the
Capital Stock of such Guarantor, if after such transaction the Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, or (y) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor if such sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer (including through
merger, consolidation or dissolution) is made in compliance with this Indenture; 
 (2) the Issuer designating such Guarantor
to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.4, Section 3.14 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary;” 

(3) in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to guarantee the Notes pursuant to
Section 3.11, the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or the repayment of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, in each case, which
resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Notes, except if a release or discharge is by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such other guarantee; 

(4) the Issuer’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under Article VIII or
if the Issuer’s Obligations under this Indenture are satisfied and discharged (including through redemption or repurchase of all of the Notes or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 

(5) the release or discharge of the Guarantee by, or direct obligation of, such Guarantor of the Obligations under the Senior
Credit Agreement, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such guarantee or direct obligation; or 

(6) the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event. 

A Guarantee also will be automatically released upon the applicable Subsidiary ceasing to be a Subsidiary as a result of any foreclosure of
any pledge or security interest securing the Senior Credit Agreement or other exercise of remedies in respect thereof. 
 (c) [Reserved].

 (d) If any Guarantor is released from its Guarantee, any of its Subsidiaries that are Guarantors shall be released from their Guarantees,
if any. 
 (e) In the case of Section 10.2(b), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 

(f) The release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee and its obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 10.2 shall not preclude the future applications of Section 3.11 to such Person. 

SECTION 10.3. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any such Guarantor shall have paid
more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under its Guarantee, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Issuer or any other Guarantor who have not paid their proportionate
share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the
Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. 

  
 -109- 








 SECTION 10.4. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by
each Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuer or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or
any Holder for the payment of the Guarantor Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all
amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Issuer on account of the Guarantor Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantor
Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to
the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guarantor Obligations.

of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail addressed to the Issuer, with written notice of said service to such Person at the address of the Issuer set forth in Section 12.1, shall be effective
service of process for any such legal action or proceeding brought in any such court.

Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE GUARANTORS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING

liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. This waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is

 ARTICLE XIII 

Measuring Compliance 

SECTION 13.1. Compliance in Connection with Certain Investments and Repayments.  

(a) With respect to any Investment or acquisition, in each case, for which the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer may not terminate
its obligations (or may not do so without incurring significant expense) due to a lack of financing for such Investment or acquisition (whether by merger, consolidation or other business combination or the acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise),
as applicable, which may be conditional, has been delivered, in each case for purposes of determining: 
 (1) whether any
Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is being incurred in connection with such Investment or acquisition is permitted to be incurred in compliance with Section 3.3; 

(2) whether any Lien being incurred in connection with such Investment or acquisition or to secure any such Indebtedness is
permitted to be incurred in accordance with Section 3.5 or the definition of “Permitted Liens”; 

(3) whether any other transaction undertaken or proposed to be undertaken in connection with such Investment or acquisition
complies with the covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or the Notes; and 
 (4) any calculation of the ratios,
including Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Debt Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Debt Ratio, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, Consolidated Total Assets and/or Pro Forma Cost
Savings and, whether a Default or Event of Default exists in connection with the foregoing, 
 at the option of the Issuer, the date that the
definitive agreement for such Investment or acquisition is entered into (the “Transaction Agreement Date”) may be used as the applicable date of determination, as the case may be, in each case with such pro forma adjustments as are
appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of “Pro Forma Basis” or “Consolidated EBITDA.” For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer elects to use the Transaction Agreement
Date as the applicable date of determination in accordance with the foregoing, (a) any fluctuation or change in the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Debt Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Debt Ratio, Consolidated Net Income,
Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, Consolidated 

  
 -113- 








 
Total Assets and/or Pro Forma Cost Savings of the Issuer from the Transaction Agreement Date to the date of consummation of such Investment or acquisition, will not be taken into account for
purposes of determining whether any Indebtedness or Lien that is being incurred in connection with such Investment or acquisition or in connection with compliance by the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries with any other provision of this
Indenture or the Notes or any other transaction undertaken in connection with such Investment or acquisition is permitted to be Incurred and (b) until such Investment or acquisition is consummated or such definitive agreements are terminated, such
Investment or acquisition and all transactions proposed to be undertaken in connection therewith (including the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens) will be given pro forma effect when determining compliance of other transactions (including the
incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens unrelated to such Investment or acquisition) that are consummated after the Transaction Agreement Date and on or prior to the date of consummation of such Investment or acquisition and any such transactions
(including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) will be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreements are entered and outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any baskets or ratios under this
Indenture after the date of such agreement and before the date of consummation of such Investment or acquisition. The compliance with any requirement relating to the absence of a Default or Event of Default may be determined as of the Transaction
Agreement Date and not as of any later date as would otherwise be required under this Indenture. 
 (b) For purposes hereof, the
“Maximum Fixed Repurchase Price” of any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock that does not have a fixed repurchase price shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock as if such
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock were purchased on any date on which Consolidated Total Indebtedness shall be required to be determined pursuant to this Indenture, and if such price is based upon, or measured by, the fair market value of such
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, such fair market value shall be determined reasonably and in good faith by the Issuer. 
 (c) For
purposes of covenant compliance, the amount of any Investment shall be the amount actually invested, without adjustment for subsequent increases or decreases in the value of such Investment but giving effect to any returns or distributions of
capital or repayment of principal actually received in cash by such Person with respect thereto.

check to the registered address of each Holder thereof. 
  

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

 Initially, Wilmington Trust, National Association, duly
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America and having a corporate trust office at 246 Goose Lane, Suite 105, Guilford, CT 06437 (“Trustee”), shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may

2016 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Securities Act for a statement

	5.	Guarantee

following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the redemption date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on October 16 of the years set forth below:

	 2020
	  	 	101.250	% 
	 2021 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (b) At any time prior to October 1, 20197, the
Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon notice as described in Section 5.5 of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the
Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of the date of the redemption notice, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the redemption date). 
 (c) At any time and from time
to time prior to October 1, 20198, upon notice as described in Section 5.5 of the Indenture, the Issuer may redeem in the aggregate up to 40.0% of the original
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes of such series) with an amount up to the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, to the extent (in the case of an Equity Offering
by a direct or indirect parent of the Issuer) the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of the Issuer or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer from it, at a redemption price
(expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof) equal to 105.000% plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not

including) the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the
redemption date); provided, however, that at least 50.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes of such series) must remain outstanding after each such
redemption of such series; provided further, that for purposes of calculating the principal amount of the Notes able to be redeemed with the net cash proceeds of such Equity Offering or Equity Offerings, such amount shall include only the
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus the premium on such Notes to be redeemed; provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 120 days after the date on which any such Equity Offering is consummated.

 (d) At any time, the Issuer or a third party will have the right to redeem the Notes at 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the purchase
date) following the consummation of a Change of Control if at least 90.0% of the applicable series of the Notes outstanding prior to such date of purchase are purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer with respect to such Change of Control.

 (e) Any redemption of the Notes may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. If any
redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, any notice in respect of such redemption shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions
shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be modified or rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in
its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed (which may exceed 60 days from the date of the redemption notice in such case). In addition, such notice of redemption may be extended if such conditions
precedent have not been met by providing notice to the noteholders. 
 (f) Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption
price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 
 (g) Any
redemption pursuant to this paragraph 6 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Article V of the Indenture. 
  

	7.	Redemption of Notes for Tax Reasons 

 (a) As more fully described and subject to the
terms set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time upon giving not less than 30 days’ prior notice to the holders of such Notes (which notice will be irrevocable) at a redemption price equal
to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date fixed for redemption (subject to the rights of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date) and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise, if the Issuer determines in good faith that, as a result of a Change in Tax
Law, a Payor is, or on the next interest payment date in respect of such Notes would be, required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such Notes, and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Payor
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new paying agent where this would be reasonable, but not including assignment of the obligation to make payment with respect to such Notes). 

(b) Notice of redemption for taxation reasons will be published in accordance with the procedures described in
Section 5.5 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption will be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Payor would be obligated to make such payment of
Additional Amounts. 
  

	8.	Change of Control; Asset Sales 

 (a) As more fully described and subject to the terms set
forth in the Indenture, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event after the Issue Date, each holder will have the right 

  
 A-7 








 
to require the Issuer to purchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to (but not including) the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the purchase date), except to the extent the
Issuer has previously elected to redeem Notes under Section 5.1 of the Indenture 
 (b) Any Change of Control
Offer may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, consummation of any related Equity Offering. In addition, if such Change of Control Offer or notice is subject to
satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the purchase date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole
discretion), or such purchase may not occur and such notice may be modified or rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the purchase date, or by the
purchase date so delayed. 
 (c) In the event of an Asset Sale Offer that requires the purchase of Notes pursuant to
Section 3.7(c) of the Indenture, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes in accordance with Section 3.7(c) and 5.9 of the Indenture at an offer price
in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the rights of Holders of record on any Record Date to receive payments of interest on the
related Interest Payment Date). Holders that are the subject of an offer to purchase shall receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Issuer prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Note purchased pursuant to such offer by
completing the form entitled “Option of Holder To Elect Purchase” attached hereto, or transferring its interest in such Note by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, the Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or the Paying Agent at the
address specified in the notice at least three Business Days before the Purchase Date. 
  

	9.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

 The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
minimum denominations of principal amount of $2,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period beginning 15 Business Days
before an Interest Payment Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date. 
  

	10.	Persons Deemed Owners  

 The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner
of it for all purposes. 
  

	11.	Unclaimed Money 

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

	12.	Discharge and Defeasance 

 As more fully described and subject to the terms set forth in
the Indenture, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S.
Government Obligations or a combination thereof (sufficient, without reinvestment, in the opinion of a nationally-recognized certified public accounting firm) for the payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes to redemption or
maturity, as the case may be. 

  
 A-8 









	13.	Amendment, Waiver 

 The Indenture and the Notes may be amended or waived as set forth in
Article IX of the Indenture. 
  

	14.	Defaults and Remedies  

 Events of Default shall be as set forth in Article VI of
the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or Holders of at least 30.0% in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Notes then outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer are Events of Default which shall result in the Notes being due and
payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 
 Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided
in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may
direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines
that withholding notice is in their interest. 
  

	15.	Trustee Dealings with the Issuer 

 Subject to certain limitations set forth in the
Indenture, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with
the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
  

	16.	No Recourse Against Others 

 No manager, managing director, director, officer, employee,
incorporator or holder of any Equity Interests in the Issuer, any Subsidiary or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture or
the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Notes. This waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy. 

 

	17.	Authentication 

 This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Trustee (or an authenticating agent acting on its behalf) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note. 
  

	18.	Abbreviations 

 Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an
assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian) and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 

 

	19.	CUSIP Numbers 

 Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Note
Identification Procedures the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
placed thereon. 

  
 A-9 









	20.	Successor Entity 

 When a successor entity assumes, in accordance with the Indenture, all
the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, and immediately before and thereafter no Default or Event of Default exists and all other conditions of the Indenture are satisfied, the predecessor entity shall be released from
those obligations. 
  

	21.	Governing Law 

 This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of New York.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,
the Issuer, the New Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows: 

1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 2. Agreements to Become Guarantors. (a) Each of the New Guarantors hereby unconditionally guarantees the Issuer’s
obligations for the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes and the performance and observance of each other obligation and covenant set forth in the Indenture to be performed or observed on the
part of the Issuer, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article X of the Indenture and agrees to be bound by all other provisions of the Indenture and the Notes applicable to a Guarantor therein.

(b) [Local law limitations to be inserted, if applicable.] 

3. Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indenture Part of Indenture. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture is in all
respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes heretofore or
