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

(1)    Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged with or into or

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

“Additional First Lien Obligations” means any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) having Pari

(b)    the principal amount of the Note.

the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream that apply to such transfer or exchange. 
 “Asset

 (1)    the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of any assets or rights
by the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be
governed by Section 4.15 and/or by Section 5.01 and not by the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof; and 

(2)    the issuance of Equity Interests by any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries or the sale by
the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries of Equity Interests in any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries.

(2)    a transfer of assets between or among the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

as whole); 
 (5)    licenses and sublicenses by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
software or intellectual property in the ordinary course of business; 
 (6)    any surrender or waiver

(7)    the granting of Liens not prohibited by Section 4.12 hereof; 

(8)    the sale or other disposition of cash or Cash Equivalents; 

(9)    any asset sold in connection with a sale and leaseback transaction in compliance with
Section 4.09(b)(12) hereof; 
 (10)    the sale of assets by the Issuer and its Restricted
Subsidiaries consisting of leases and subleases of real property solely to the extent that such real property is not necessary for the normal conduct of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 (14)    the issuance of Equity Interests in any of the Issuer’s
Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent consisting of directors’ qualifying shares or shares required by applicable law to be held by a Person; 

(15)    the sale or discounting of receivables in the ordinary course of business; and 

(16)    a Restricted Payment that does not violate Section 4.07 hereof or a Permitted Investment.

the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such sale and leaseback transaction including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended.
Such present value shall be calculated using a discount rate equal to the rate of interest implicit in such transaction, determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that if such sale and leaseback transaction results in a
Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of Indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the definition of Capital Lease Obligation; provided, further, that Attributable Debt shall, for the avoidance of doubt,
exclude all Non-Finance Lease Obligations. 

  
 3 













 “Bank Collateral Agent” means (i) Bank of America, N.A., in its
capacity as administrative agent for the lenders and other secured parties under the Credit Agreement, together with its successors and permitted assigns under the Credit Agreement or (ii) in the event that the Credit Agreement is refinanced or
replaced, any replacement collateral agent or other representative in respect of the Credit Agreement. 
 “Bankruptcy Code”
means Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended. 
 “Beneficial Owner” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), such “person” will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire by conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right
is currently exercisable or is exercisable only after the passage of time. The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have a corresponding meaning. For purposes of this definition, a Person shall be deemed not to
Beneficially Own securities that are subject to a securities purchase agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement until the consummation of the transactions or, as applicable, the series of related transactions contemplated thereby. 

“Board of Directors” means: 

(1)    with respect to a corporation, the board of directors of the corporation or any committee thereof

company, the board of directors or other governing body, and in the absence of the same, the manager or board of managers or the managing member or members or any controlling committee of managing members thereof; and 

(4)    with respect to any other Person, the board or committee of such Person serving a similar function.

 “Business Day” means any day other than a Legal Holiday. 

“Capital Lease Obligation” means, at the time any determination is to be made, the amount of the liability in respect of a
capital lease that would at that time be required to be capitalized on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the Stated Maturity thereof shall be the date of the last payment of rent or any other amount due under such lease prior to
the first date upon which such lease may be prepaid by the lessee without payment of a penalty; provided that Capital Lease Obligations shall, for the avoidance of doubt, exclude all Non-Finance Lease
Obligations. 

  
 4 













 “Capital Stock” means: 

(1)    in the case of a corporation, corporate stock; 

(2)    in the case of an association or business entity, any and all shares, interests, participations,
rights or other equivalents (however designated) of corporate stock; 
 (3)    in the case of a
partnership or limited liability company, partnership interests (whether general or limited) or membership interests; and 

(4)    any other interest or participation that confers on a Person the right to receive a share of the
profits and losses of, or distributions of assets of, the issuing Person, but excluding from all of the foregoing any debt securities convertible into Capital Stock, whether or not such debt securities include any right of participation with Capital
Stock. 
 “Cash Equivalents” means: 

(1)    marketable direct obligations issued by, or unconditionally guaranteed by, the government of the
United States of America or issued by any agency thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America in each case maturing within one year from the date of acquisition; 

(2)    certificates of deposit, time deposits, eurodollar time deposits or overnight bank deposits having

(3)    commercial paper of an issuer rated at least A-1 by S&P
or P-1 by Moody’s, or carrying an equivalent rating by a nationally recognized rating agency, if both of the two named rating agencies cease publishing ratings of commercial paper issuers generally, and
maturing within six months from the date of acquisition; 
 (4)    repurchase obligations of any
commercial bank satisfying the requirements of clause (2) of this definition, having a term of not more than 30 days, with respect to securities issued or fully guaranteed or insured by the government of the United States of America; 

(5)    securities with maturities of one year or less from the date of acquisition issued or fully
guaranteed by any state, commonwealth or territory of the United States of America, by any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such state, commonwealth or territory or by any foreign government, the securities of which state,
commonwealth, territory, political subdivision, taxing authority or foreign government (as the case may be) are rated at least A by S&P or A by Moody’s; 

(6)    securities with maturities of six months or less from the date of acquisition backed by standby
letters of credit issued by any commercial bank satisfying the requirements of clause (2) of this definition; 

  
 5 













 (7)    money market mutual or similar funds that invest
exclusively in assets satisfying the requirements of clauses (1) through (6) of this definition; or 

(8)    money market funds that (i) comply with the criteria set forth in SEC Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (ii) are rated AAA by S&P and Aaa by Moody’s and (iii) have portfolio assets of at least $5.0 billion. 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 

(1)    the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of
merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer (including Equity Interests of Restricted Subsidiaries) and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person
(including any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act)) which occurrence is followed by a Ratings Decline within 90 days; 

(2)    the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer; or 

(3)    the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the
result of which is that any Person (including any “person” (as defined above)) other than the underwriter(s) in connection with a bona fide public offering becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the
Voting Stock of the Issuer (measured by voting power rather than number of shares, units or the like), which occurrence is followed by a Ratings Decline within 90 days. 

Notwithstanding the preceding, a conversion of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from a limited partnership, corporation,

ARTICLE 2 
 THE NOTES 

Section 2.01 Form and Dating. 

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

  
 41 













 (b)    Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified
therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be
reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by
the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof. 

(c)    Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the
Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of
beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream. 
 Section 2.02
Execution and Authentication. 
 At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, facsimile or electronically
transmitted signature. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the
Note will nevertheless be valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of the Trustee. The
signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee will, upon receipt of a
written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate
principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof. 

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

 Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to
appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

 The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global
Notes. 
 Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

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

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. 

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

Section 2.06 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. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if: 

(1)    the Depositary (A) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; 

  
 43

Depositary’s requirements, notifies the Trustee in writing that they elect to cause the issuance of the Definitive Notes; or 

(3)    there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default and the Depositary notifies the Trustee of
its decision to exchange such Global Note for Definitive Notes. 
 Upon the occurrence of the preceding events in (1), (2) or
(3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated
and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global
Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof. 

(b)    Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and

 If any such transfer is effected pursuant to paragraph (4) above at a time
when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an

LAWS.” 
 (B)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive Note issued
pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(4), (c)(2), (c)(3), (d)(2), (d)(3), (e)(2), or (e)(3) of this Section 2.06 (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) will not bear the Private Placement Legend. 

(2)    Global Note Legend. Each Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

 “THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE
EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (3) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (4) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO
A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE ISSUER. 

  
 53 













 UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE
OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK) (“DTC”), TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER,
EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS
MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”

 (g)    Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or beneficial interests in other Global Notes, or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will
be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by
the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 

(h)    General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(1)    To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will
authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

(2)    No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder
of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or
similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.04 hereof). 

  
 54 













 (3)    The Registrar will not be required to register
the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 

(4)    All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global
Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange. 
 (5)    Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer will be required: 

(A)    to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; 

(B)    to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or 
 (C)    to register the transfer
of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date. 

(6)    Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and
the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any
Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (7)    The Trustee will authenticate
Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 

(8)    All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar
pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile or electronic transmission. 

(9)    The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with
any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any
Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 (10)    Neither the Trustee
nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 

  
 55 













 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond
must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer
may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to
all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.08
Outstanding Notes. 
 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those
canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as
set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer shall not be deemed to be outstanding for
purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any
Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying
Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on a redemption date or other maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will
be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by
the Issuer or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes
of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 

  
 56 













 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without
unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 
 Holders
of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11 Cancellation. 

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of the canceled Notes
in accordance with its procedures for the disposition of canceled securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Issuer. The Issuer may
not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.12
Defaulted Interest. 
 If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful
manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer will notify
the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such
special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Issuer) will give to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. 

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

  
 57 













 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee. 

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, they must furnish to the
Trustee, at least five Business Days prior to the giving of notice of a redemption, a written statement setting forth: 

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

(b)    the redemption date; 

(c)    the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; 

(d)    the redemption price (if then determined and otherwise the method of determination); and 

(e)    the CUSIP number(s), if any. 

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Notes will be selected by lot or such other method as DTC may require. 

In the event of partial redemption of Definitive Notes, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected, unless otherwise provided
herein, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee by lot from the outstanding Definitive Notes not previously called for redemption. 

The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Definitive Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Definitive Note
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in principal amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. 

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer will send or cause to be sent a notice of redemption to each
Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or 12 hereof. 
 The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state: 

(a)    the redemption date; 

  
 58 













 (b)    the redemption price (if then determined and otherwise the method
of determination); 
 (c)    if any Definitive Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of
such Definitive Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Definitive Note, a new Definitive Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon
cancellation of the original Definitive Note; 
 (d)    the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

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

(f)    that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases
to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (g)    the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (h)    that no representation is made as to the
correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 

(i)    any conditions precedent to the redemption. 

At the Issuer’s written request, delivered at least two Business Days prior to the date the notice of redemption is to be given to the
Holders (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the written statement delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof requests that the Trustee give such notice and sets forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

Any such redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption is
subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the related notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the date of redemption may be delayed until such time as
any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (provided that in no event shall such date of redemption be delayed to a date later than 60 days after the date on which such notice was given), or such redemption may not occur and such
notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee and the Holders once any
conditions to redemption have been satisfied. 
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is given in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable
(subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to the redemption as provided in Section 3.03 hereof) on the redemption date at the redemption price. 

  
 59 













 Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

No later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying
Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or
the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to
accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or accepted for purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid
interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or tendered for purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of
the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid
principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed
or Purchased in Part. 
 Upon surrender of a Definitive Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer will issue
and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Definitive Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Definitive Note surrendered. 

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption. 

(a)    At any time prior to June 30, 2024, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture, upon notice as provided in this Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
redemption (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), in an amount not to exceed the net proceeds from an Equity Offering by the Issuer; provided that:

 (1)    at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture
(excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 

(2)    the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 

  
 60 













 (b)    At any time prior to June 30, 2024, the Issuer may on any
one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon notice as provided in this Indenture, at a redemption price equal to the sum of: 

(1)    100% of the principal amount thereof, plus 

(2)    the Applicable Premium as of the redemption date, 

plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date). 
 (c)    Except pursuant to clauses (a), (b) or (e) of this Section 3.07, the Notes
will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to June 30, 2024. 
 (d)    On and after June 30,
2024, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon notice as provided in this Indenture, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest
on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 30
of the years indicated below: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2024
	  	 	102.438	% 
	 2025
	  	 	101.219	% 
	 2026 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (e)    In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to June 30, 2024, the
Issuer may, upon notice as provided in this Indenture, redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes after the date of this
Indenture) during each twelve-month period commencing with the date of this Indenture at a redemption price of 103.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 (f)    At any time, in
connection with any tender offer or other offer to purchase the Notes (including pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer), if not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes are purchased by the Issuer,
or, in the case of a Change of Control Offer, any third party purchasing or acquiring Notes in lieu of the Issuer, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon notice pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02 and 3.03, to redeem the
Notes of such Series that remain outstanding following such purchase at the price paid to Holders in such purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the redemption date). 

  
 61 













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

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

Section 3.09 Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. 

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Issuer is required to commence an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders to purchase
Notes, it will follow the procedures specified below. 
 The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders of other
Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. The Asset Sale Offer will remain open
for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days
after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (on a pro
rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to
the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 
 If the Purchase
Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no
additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 
 Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale
Offer, the Issuer will send, by first class mail, or electronically if DTC is the recipient, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such
Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state: 

(a)    that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the
length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open; 
 (b)    the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase
Date; 
 (c)    that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; 

  
 62 













 (d)    that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note
accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Purchase Date; 

(e)    that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in
denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 
 (f)    that Holders electing to have
Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will 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, a
depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 

(g)    that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the
case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, facsimile or electronic transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a
statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
 (h)    that, if the aggregate
principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount allocated to the purchase of Notes in the Asset Sale Offer, the Notes to be purchased shall be selected by such method as DTC may require based on the principal amount
of Notes surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and 

(i)    that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
 On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to
the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer and required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10
hereof, or if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less than the Offer Amount allocated to the purchase of Notes in the Asset Sale Offer have been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee 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 3.09. The Issuer, the depositary for the Asset Sale
Offer or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will 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 will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer, will 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 will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer
on the Purchase Date.

COVENANTS 
 Section 4.01
Payment of Notes. 
 The Issuer will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on the
Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer, holds as of 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the due date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. 

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.  

The Issuer will maintain in the State of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee)
where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will send prompt written notice to the Trustee of
the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices
and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or
more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner
relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the State of New York for such purposes. The Issuer will send prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any
such other office or agency. 
 Section 4.03 Reports.  

(a)    Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC and subject to the other paragraphs set forth in
this Section 4.03, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Holders of Notes (or file with the SEC for public availability), within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations: 

(1)    all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Issuer’s certified independent accountants; and 

(2)    all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports; 
 provided that the time period for filing obligations on
Form 8-K shall be ten (10) Business Days after the event giving rise to the obligation to file such report. 

  
 64 













 All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the
rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to such reports; provided that in no event shall any of such reports be required to contain separate financial information for the issuer and guarantors that would be required under Rules 3-10 and 13-01 of Regulation S-X. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Issuer’s filings for any reason,
the Issuer will post the reports referred to in Section 4.03(a) on its website within the time periods contemplated above. 
 In the
event that any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer becomes a guarantor of the Notes, the Issuer may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.03 with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial
information relating to such parent company; provided that the same be accompanied by consolidated information, in the form of financial statement footnotes or otherwise, that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the
information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. 

(b)    Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a failure to file in a timely manner any information or
report required by this Section 4.03 shall be deemed cured (and the Issuer shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 4.03) upon filing such information or report as contemplated by this Section 4.03 (but without regard to
the date on which such information or report is so filed); provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the Holders under Article 6 hereof if the principal, premium, if any, and interest have been accelerated in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure.

Beneficial Owners of the Notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

(d)    Delivery of such reports, information and documents 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 their covenants hereunder (as to
which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate.
 
 (a)    The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, beginning with
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with
a view to determining whether the Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Issuer has
kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of

deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer of the Issuer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, a written statement specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto. 
 Section 4.05 Taxes.  

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

Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.  

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

Restricted Subsidiaries and (b) the repurchase or other acquisition or retirement for value of any such Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund or other payment obligation due within one year of the date of such repurchase or
other acquisition or retirement for value), except a payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; or

Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiaries providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earnouts or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the
acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or any Subsidiary; 
 (15)    the incurrence by the
Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness consisting of the financing of insurance premiums; 

(16)    the incurrence by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness that is contractually
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or to any Note Guarantee in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the greater of (x) $30.0 million and (y) 2.5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; 

(17)    the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of liability in respect of
Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Joint Venture but only to the extent that such liability is the result of the Issuer’s or any such Restricted Subsidiary’s being a general partner or member of, or owner of
an Equity Interest in, such Unrestricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture and not as guarantor of such Indebtedness and provided that after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred under
this clause (17) and then outstanding does not exceed the greater of (x) $25.0 million and (y) 2.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; 

(18)    Specified Bilateral Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (x)
$30.0 million and (y) 2.5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at any one time outstanding; 

(19)    Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred or Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this clause (19), not to exceed the greater of (a) $100.0 million and (b) 8.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, determined on the date of such incurrence or issuance; and 

(20)    the incurrence by the Issuer or any Guarantor of additional Indebtedness, the issuance by the
Issuer of any Disqualified Stock or the issuance by any Guarantor of any Preferred Stock in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred or
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this clause (20), not to exceed the greater of (x)
$100.0 million and (y) 8.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined on the date of such incurrence or issuance. 

  
 76 













 The Issuer will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness
(including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the
applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor solely by virtue
of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (20) above, or is entitled to be
incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Issuer will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock on the date of its incurrence or issuance, or later reclassify all or a portion of
such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and
authenticated under this Indenture will be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by Section 4.09(b)(1), and shall not later be reclassified. 

The accrual of interest or Preferred Stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any
Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock in the
form of additional securities of the same class of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09;
provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Issuer as accrued to the extent required by the definition of such term. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such
Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a
result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. 
 The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be: 

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

(b)    the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and 

(c)    in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser
of: 
 (1)    the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and 

  
 77 













 (2)    the amount of the Indebtedness of the other
Person. 
 Section 4.10 Asset Sales. 

(a)    The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

 (1)    The Issuer (or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time
of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(2)    at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Issuer or a Restricted
Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(A)    any liabilities, as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Issuer
or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a novation or indemnity
agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies against further liability; 

(B)    any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from
such transferee that are promptly, but in any event within 180 days of the closing (subject to ordinary settlement periods), converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; 

(C)    any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred to in clause (2) or (4) of
Section 4.10(b) hereof; 
 (D)    any Designated Non-Cash
Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in the Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to
this Section 4.10(a)(2)(D) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $30.0 million and (y) 2.5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of receipt of such outstanding 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); and 

  
 78 













 (E)     to the extent that any consideration received by
any Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale constitutes securities or other assets that are of a type or class that constitutes Collateral, such securities or other assets are added to the Collateral securing the Notes and the Note
Guarantees, as applicable, in the manner and to the extent required by this Indenture or any of the Security Documents with the Lien on such Collateral securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees, as applicable, being of the same priority with
respect to the Notes and the Note Guarantees, as applicable, as the Lien on the assets disposed of in the Asset Sale. 

(b)    Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale (or within 180 days after such 450-day period in the event the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into a binding commitment with respect to such application), the Issuer (or any Restricted Subsidiary) may apply an amount equal to such Net
Proceeds: 
 (1)    to repay other First Lien Obligations (and if the First Lien Obligations being repaid
are revolving credit First Lien Obligations, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto) of the Issuer or any Guarantor (excluding First Lien Obligations owed to the Issuer or such Guarantor), so long as the Issuer shall
equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes (i) on a pro rata basis as provided in Section 3.07, (ii) through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or
(iii) by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not
including the date of repurchase; 
 (2)    if the assets disposed of in the Asset Sale were not
Collateral, to repay other Indebtedness (and if the Indebtedness being repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto) of the Issuer or any Guarantor (excluding (i) subordinated
Obligations and (ii) Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary), so long as the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes (i) on a pro rata basis as provided in Section 3.07 (ii) through
open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or (iii) by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their
Notes at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the date of repurchase; 

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

(4)    to make capital expenditures; 

(5)    to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or
useful in a Permitted Business; 
 (6)    to repay Indebtedness (i) of a Restricted Subsidiary that
is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) that is secured by the assets or property that were the subject of such Asset Sale; provided that, in the case of this clause (ii),
such assets or property did not constitute Collateral; or 

  
 79 













 (7)    any combination of the foregoing; 

provided that, in the case of clauses (3) and (5), if the assets disposed of in the Asset Sale were Collateral, the assets acquired are in respect
of Collateral or thereupon with their acquisition are added to the Collateral securing the notes. 
 Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the
Issuer (or any Restricted Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 

(c)    Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) will
constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds the greater of (x) $25.0 million and (y) 2.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, within five days thereof, the Issuer will make an offer (an
“Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and at the option of the Issuer, to (i) in the case of Excess Proceeds of an Asset Sale involving Collateral, any holders of First Lien Obligations and (ii) in the case of Excess
Proceeds of an Asset Sale not involving Collateral, any holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes, in each case, containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase,
prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase, prepay or redeem, on a pro rata basis, the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other First Lien Obligations or pari passu Indebtedness, as the case may be (plus
all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith), that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer
will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date, and will be payable in cash (or, in respect of any such other First Lien Obligations or pari passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Indebtedness). If any
Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may use an amount equal to those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount
of Notes and other First Lien Obligations or pari passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, tendered in such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated to the purchase of Notes, and such other First Lien Obligations or
pari passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, the Notes to be purchased will be selected by such method as DTC may require based on the amounts tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in
denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Selection of such other First Lien Obligations or pari passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, will be made pursuant to the terms of such
Indebtedness. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

  
 80 













 (d)    The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale
Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to
have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance. 
 Section 4.11
Transactions with Affiliates.  
 (a)    The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, 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, contract, agreement,
understanding, loan, advance or Guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of the greater of (x) $5.0 million and (y) 0.4% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets
(each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 
 (1)    the Affiliate Transaction is on
terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable (as reasonably determined by the Issuer) 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; and 
 (2)    the Issuer delivers to the Trustee, with
respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of (x) $35.0 million and (y) 2.8% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, a resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Issuer set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of
the Board of Directors of the Issuer. 
 (b)    The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and,
therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof: 
 (1)    any employment
agreement, employee benefit plan, termination agreement, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments
pursuant thereto; 
 (2)    transactions between or among the Issuer and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 (3)    transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) that is an
Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person; 

(4)    payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity
arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

  
 81 













 (5)    any issuance of Equity Interests (other than
Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer; 
 (6)    loans or advances to officers, directors or employees of the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice or Guarantees in respect thereof or otherwise made on their behalf (including payment on such Guarantees); 

(7)    Permitted Investments or Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 4.07 hereof; 

(8)    payments to an Affiliate in respect of the Notes or any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary on the same basis as concurrent payments made or offered to be made in respect thereof to non-Affiliates; 

(9)    transactions between the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person that would not
otherwise constitute an Affiliate Transaction except for the fact that one director of such other Person is also a director of such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such director abstains from voting as a director of such Restricted
Subsidiary on any matter involving such other Person; 
 (10)    transactions with customers, clients,
suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services (including pursuant to joint venture agreements) or lessors or lessees of property in the ordinary course of business on terms, taken as a whole, that are no less
favorable in any material respect than would have been obtained at such time from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer, as reasonably determined by the Issuer; 

(11)    payments or transactions arising under or contemplated by any contract, agreement, instrument or
arrangement in effect on the date of this Indenture, as amended, modified or replaced from time to time so long as the amended, modified or new agreements, taken as a whole at the time such amendments, modifications or replacements are executed, are
not materially less favorable to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, than those in effect on the date of this Indenture, as reasonably determined by the Issuer; 

(12)    any transaction for which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be,
obtains a favorable written opinion from a nationally recognized investment banking firm as to the fairness of the transaction to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries from a financial point of view; and 

(13)    any Affiliate Transaction with a Person in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness or Capital
Stock of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided that such Person is treated no more favorably than the other holders of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as reasonably
determined by the Issuer. 

  
 82 













 Section 4.12 Liens.  

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except (i) in the case of a Lien on any Collateral, Permitted Liens; and (ii) in the case of a Lien on any asset or property that does not
constitute Collateral, (x) the notes (or the relevant Note Guarantee, in the case of any Lien incurred by a Guarantor) are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case such Lien secures any subordinated Indebtedness)
the obligations secured by such Lien until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien on such asset or property or (y) Permitted Liens. 

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely
by reference to one category of Permitted Liens described in definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.12 but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event
that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to the first paragraph of this
Section 4.12, the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such Lien securing each item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant and
will only be required to include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien in one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness will be
treated as being incurred or existing pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to the first paragraph hereof. 
 Section 4.13
Business Activities.  
 The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business
other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

Section 4.14 Organizational Existence.  

Subject to Article 5 and Section 10.04 hereof, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force and effect: 
 (a)    its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary; and 

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

  
 83 













 Section 4.15 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

 (a)    If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right, except as provided in
Section 4.15(d), to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a cash tender offer (“Change of Control Offer”)
on the terms set forth in this Section 4.15. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a payment in cash (“Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus
accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date. 
 Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will give a notice to each Holder describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes properly tendered prior to the expiration date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the
date such notice is given, pursuant to the procedures required by this Section 4.15 and described in such notice. The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with this Section 4.15, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance. 

(b)    Promptly following the expiration of the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept for
payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Promptly after such acceptance, the Issuer will, on the Change of Control Purchase Date: 

(1)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all
Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (2)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer. 

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes (or, if all the Notes are then
in global form, it will make such payment through the facilities of DTC), and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Purchase Date. 

(c)    The provisions described above that require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of
Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. 

  
 84 













 (d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 4.15, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements
set forth in this Section 4.15 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (2) notice of redemption of all outstanding Notes has
been given pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price or (3) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the Issuer has made an offer to purchase
(an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer. 

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, a Change of Control Offer may be made in
advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. 

Section 4.16 Additional Note Guarantees.  

The Issuer will cause each Restricted Subsidiary that is not then an Issuer or a Guarantor that (a) incurs any Indebtedness under any of
the Credit Agreement, any First Lien Obligations, any Junior Lien Obligations or any other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(1) or (b) Guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor under the Credit Agreement,
any First Lien Obligations, any Junior Lien Obligations or any other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(1), within 20 Business Days thereof, 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 Note Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture and applicable to the other Guarantors;
provided that this paragraph will not be applicable to any Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and that was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such
Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note Guarantee by a Guarantor that is a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Issuer will be automatically released as set forth under Article 10. 
 Each Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor on or
after the date of this Indenture will also become a party to the Security Documents, including the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and will within 30 days of guaranteeing the payment of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Guarantor
incurred under any Indebtedness execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements and certificates and opinions of counsel as may be necessary to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent a first-priority security interest (subject to
Permitted Liens), in each case, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Security Documents and this Indenture in properties and assets of the type constituting Collateral as security for the Notes or the Note Guarantees, and thereupon all
provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such properties and assets to the same extent and with the same force and effect. 

  
 85 













 Section 4.17 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted
Subsidiaries. 
 The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if
that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary
designated as Unrestricted will be deemed to either (i) be an Investment made as of the time of the designation that will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the covenant described above under Section 4.07(a) hereof
or (ii) represent a Permitted Investment under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Issuer. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the
Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such
designation complied with the preceding conditions. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of
this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof,
the Issuer will be in default of such covenant. 
 The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted
Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted
Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable
reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. 
 Section 4.18 Covenant
Suspension 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or of the Notes to the contrary, if at any time following the date
of this Indenture (a) the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s and BBB- or better by S&P (or, if either such entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Issuer,
the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Issuer as a replacement agency), (b) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing under this Indenture and (c) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying to such events, then beginning on that day, Sections 3.09, 4.07,
4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.16, 4.17 and 5.01(a)(4) of this Indenture will no longer be applicable to the Notes and no Default or Event of Default shall result from any failure to comply with any of the provisions of such Sections (such period, a
“Suspension Period”), the Notes will be entitled to substantially less covenant protection. In the event of any Suspension Period as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (such date, a “Reversion Date”) the Notes
are no longer rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s and BBB- or better by S&P (or, if either such 

  
 86 













 
entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Issuer, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized statistical rating
organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Issuer as a replacement agency), then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to such covenants under this
Indenture with respect to future events. 
 The Issuer shall promptly upon its occurrence deliver to the Trustee, an Officer’s
Certificate notifying the Trustee of the occurrence of any Suspension Date or Reversion Date, and the date thereof. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to monitor the occurrence or dates of any Suspension Date or Reversion Date or to
independently determine or verify if such events have occurred and may rely conclusively on such Officer’s Certificate. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to notify the Holders of the occurrence or dates of any Suspension Date or
Reversion Date. 
 On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been incurred
pursuant to the covenants described below under Section 4.09 hereof (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred prior to the
Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09 hereof, such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the date of this
Indenture, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.09(b)(2) hereof. 
 Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the
amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof will be made as though such covenant had been in effect since the date of this Indenture and prior, but not during, the Suspension Period; provided that any
Subsidiaries designated as Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period shall automatically become Restricted Subsidiaries on the Reversion Date (subject to the Issuer’s right to subsequently designate them as Unrestricted Subsidiaries
in compliance with Section 4.17 hereof. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof. In addition: (i) for purposes
of Section 4.11 hereof, 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 will be deemed to have been entered into
prior to the date of this Indenture; (ii) for purposes of Section 4.08 hereof, all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant will be
deemed to have been entered pursuant to Section 4.08(b)(1) hereof and (iii) for purposes of Section 4.12 hereof, any Lien incurred during a Suspension Period will be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (7) of the
definition of “Permitted Liens.” No Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period. Within 30
days of such Reversion Date, the Issuer shall comply with the terms of Section 4.16 hereof and with the terms set forth under Section 11.02(c) hereof. For purposes of Section 4.10 hereof on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess
Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.

sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition,
the provisions of this Indenture referring to an “Issuer” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the predecessor Issuer), and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if
such successor Person had been named as the predecessor Issuer herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Issuer shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of, premium on or interest on the Notes in the case of
a lease of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s properties or assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof. 

ARTICLE 6 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 Section 6.01 Events of Default. 

Each of the following is an “Event of Default”: 

(a)    default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; 

(b)    default in the payment when due (at Stated Maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium,

 (c)    failure by the Issuer to comply with the provisions of Section 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 or
5.01 hereof; 
 (d)    failure by the Issuer for 120 days after notice to the Issuer by the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to comply with Section 4.03 hereof; 

(e)    failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice to the Issuer by the Trustee
or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to comply with any of their other agreements in this Indenture or the Security Documents; 

  
 89 













 (f)    default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which
there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is Guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries),
whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if that default: 

(1)    is caused by a failure to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, such
Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or 

(2)    results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, 

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been
a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates to the greater of (x) $35.0 million and (y) 2.8% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets or more; provided, however, if, prior to any acceleration of the
Notes, (i) any such Payment Default is cured or waived, (ii) any such acceleration is rescinded, or (iii) such Indebtedness is repaid during the 30 day period commencing upon the end of any applicable grace period for such Payment
Default or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, any Default or Event of Default (but not any acceleration of the Notes) caused by such Payment Default or acceleration shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission
does not conflict with any judgment, decree or applicable law; 
 (g)    failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of the greater of (x) $35.0 million and (y) 2.8% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (to the extent not covered by insurance by a
reputable and creditworthy insurer as to which the insurer has not disclaimed coverage), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 days; 

(h)    except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or
invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee; 

(i)    the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 

(1)    commences a voluntary case, 

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

  
 90 













 (3)    consents to the appointment of a custodian of it
or for all or substantially all of its property, 
 (4)    makes a general assignment for the benefit of
its creditors, or 
 (5)    generally is not paying its debts as they become due; 

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

(1)    is for relief against the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

(2)    appoints a custodian of the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is
a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or 

(3)    orders the liquidation of the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; 
 and the
order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; and 
 (k)    the Liens created by the Security
Documents shall at any time not constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of the Collateral intended to be covered thereby (unless perfection is not required by this Indenture or the Security Documents) other than (A) in
accordance with the terms of the relevant Security Document and this Indenture, (B) the satisfaction in full of all Obligations under this Indenture or (C) any loss of perfection that results from the failure of the Notes Collateral Agent
to maintain possession of certificates delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Security Documents and (ii) such default continues for 30 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 
 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Issuer, any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without
further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.


  
 91 













 Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee or Notes
Collateral Agent, as applicable, to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (other than a Regulated Bank) (each a “Directing
Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such holder delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, that such Holder is not (or, in the case such holder is DTC or its nominee,
that such holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that have represented to such Holder that they are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating
to the delivery of a notice of Default shall be deemed a continuing representation at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at
the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Issuer with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such holder’s Position Representation within
five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial
owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee and DTC shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable. 

If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer determines in good faith that there
is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer has initiated litigation in a court of
competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Default, Event of Default or acceleration (or notice thereof) that resulted from the
applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Default or Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a
final and nonappealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been
insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction. 
 If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to
acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and
the cure period with respect to any Default or Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the
Position Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such
Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio (other than any indemnity such Directing Holder may have offered the Trustee and Notes
Collateral Agent, as applicable), with the effect that such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent, if applicable, shall be deemed not to have received such
Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default. 

  
 92 













 Notwithstanding anything in the preceding three paragraphs to the contrary, any Noteholder
Direction delivered to the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs. In addition, for
the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing paragraphs shall not apply to any Holder that is a Regulated Bank; provided that if a Regulated Bank is a Directing Holder or a beneficial owner directing DTC it shall provide a written representation to
the Issuer that it is a Regulated Bank. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture and shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant,
verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments
or otherwise. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall have any liability to the Issuer, any holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction. 

Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee may, on
behalf of all of the Holders of all the Notes, rescind an acceleration and its consequences hereunder, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal of, premium
on, if any, or interest on the Notes that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 
 Section 6.03
Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

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

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes (including in
connection with an offer to purchase). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, 

  
 93 













 
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. 
 Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.06
Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

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

(b)    Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the
Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c)    such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security
or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d)    the Trustee does not comply
with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 

(e)    during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 
 A Holder of a Note may not use
this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 

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

  
 94 













 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest
and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any
other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by
a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes
or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.10 Priorities. 

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

First:    to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof,
including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 

Second:    to Holders of the Notes 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 such party as a
court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of the Notes
pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 

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

 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01
Duties of Trustee. 
 (a)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

 (b)    Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(1)    the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and
the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(2)    in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee 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 and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to
determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 

(c)    The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or
its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1)    this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph
(b) of this Section 7.01; 

  
 96 













 (2)    the Trustee will not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

(3)    the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof. 
 (d)    Whether or not therein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01. 

(e)    No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The

liability or expense. 
 (f)    The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

(b)    Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of
Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such
counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(c)    The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence
of any agent appointed with due care. 
 (d)    The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 

(e)    Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer
will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer.

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 have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to it against the losses, liabilities and
expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

 (g)    The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or an
Event of Default unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 

(h)    The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of Indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or
attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

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

(j)    The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation,
its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(k)    The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles
of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 
 Section 7.03 Individual Rights of
Trustee. 
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise
deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the TIA) after a Default has occurred and is
continuing it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.09 and 7.10 hereof. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

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

  
 98 













 Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 

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

Section 7.06 Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a)    The Issuer will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture
and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and
expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

(b)    The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses,
liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer and the Guarantors
(including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuer or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may
have separate counsel and the Issuer will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 

(c)    The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.06 will survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture or the earlier removal or resignation of the Trustee. 
 (d)    To secure the Issuer’s
and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or
interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

  
 99 













 (e)    When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or (j) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under
any Bankruptcy Law. 
 (f)    The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA §313(b)(2) to the extent
applicable. 
 Section 7.07 Replacement of Trustee. 

(a)    A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the
successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. 
 (b)    The Trustee may
resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and
the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 
 (1)    the Trustee fails to comply with
Section 7.09 hereof; 
 (2)    the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for
relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3)    a custodian or public
officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
 (4)    the Trustee becomes incapable of
acting. 
 (c)    If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason,
the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the
successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. 
 (d)    If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after
the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee. 
 (e)    If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six
months, fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f)    A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer.
Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the 

  
 100 













 
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will send a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the
Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.06 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.08
Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee. 

Section 7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture will 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
Preferential Collection of Claims Against 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 7.11 Limitation on Duty of Trustee in Respect of Collateral; Indemnification. 

(a)    Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral
in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Trustee shall not be responsible for
filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Trustee shall
be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss
or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in good faith. 

(b)    The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the
validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission
constitutes negligence, bad 

  
 101 













 
faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the
Issuer to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to
the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Agreement or the Security Documents by the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Bank Collateral Agent. 

ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND
COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Issuer may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect
to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and each of the
Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) and have the Liens,
if any, on the Collateral securing the Notes released on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the
other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the
Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(a)    the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium on, if any,
or interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 

(b)    the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof; 

(c)    the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s and the
Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (d)    this Article 8. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise their option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 

  
 102 













 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each of the
Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their respective obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.09, 4.03, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11,
4.12, 4.13, 4.14 (as it relates to any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer), 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17 hereof and clause (4) of Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”) and have the Liens, if any, on the Collateral securing the Notes released, and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the
purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes to the extent permitted by GAAP). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuer and the
Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by
reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (j) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof: 

(a)    the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S.
dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public
accountants, to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being
defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; 
 (b)    in the case of an election under
Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 

(1)    the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling;
or 

  
 103 













 (2)    since the date of this Indenture, there has been
a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(c)    in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(d)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings); 

(e)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or
any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (f)    the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating
that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; and 

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

  
 104 













 The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or
other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the
contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of
the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuer. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium on,
if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from
such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee
thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that, if any Definitive Note is then outstanding, the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published
once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. 
 Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government
Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s
and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or
interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

therein contained, but the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to any Note, Note Guarantee or Security Document that affects
its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, the Security Documents or otherwise. 
 Section 9.02 With Consent of
Holders of Notes. 
 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the
Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof) and the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of 


  
 107 













 
the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture
or the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a
single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be
“outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a)    reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders
must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b)    reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of
any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the Notes (except those provisions relating to minimum required notice of redemption or the provisions of Section 3.09, 4.10 or 4.15); 

(c)    reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

Section 3.09, 4.10 or 4.15); 
 (h)    release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee
or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

the Notes or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes.

 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, or amendment or supplement to any Note, Note Guarantee or Security Document, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the
Holders of the Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, of the documents described in Section 9.05 hereof, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, will join
with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to any Note, Note Guarantee or Security Document unless such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to any
Note, Note Guarantee or Security Document directly affects, as the case may be, the Trustee’s or the Notes Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or the Security Documents or otherwise, in which case the
Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to any Note, Note Guarantee or Security Document. 

The consent of the Holders is not necessary under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement
or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture requiring the approval of the Holders becomes effective, the Issuer
will send to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure to send such notice, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may (A) make any change in any Security Document or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with Collateral or application of trust proceeds of the Collateral with the
effect of releasing the Liens on any material portion of the Collateral which secure the Obligations in respect of the Notes or (B) change or alter the priority of the Liens securing the Obligations in respect of the Notes, and the Note
Guarantees on the Collateral in any way adverse to the Holders in any material respect, other than, in each case, as provided under the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents. 

Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms
and thereafter binds every Holder. 

  
 109 













 Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

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

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

 Section 9.05 Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, will sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the
amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be. In executing any amendment or supplement, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent,
as applicable, will receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. No Opinion of Counsel will be required by the immediately preceding sentence for the Trustee to execute a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit E
hereto to cause a Restricted Subsidiary to become a Guarantor pursuant to Sections 4.16 and 10.03 under this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 10 

NOTE GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01 Guarantee. 

(a)    Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally Guarantees to each
Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder,
that: 
 (1)     the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in
full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the
Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 

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

  
 110 













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

(b)    The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with
a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (c)    If any Holder or the Trustee is
required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or
such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 

(d)    Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
respect of any obligations Guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations Guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the
maturity of the obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
obligations Guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the
Holders under the Note Guarantee. 
 Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

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

  
 111 













 Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. 

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture will be executed on
behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers. No Guarantor shall be required to make a notation or endorsement on the Notes to reflect any Note Guarantee or any release, termination, suspension or discharge thereof. 

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set
forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at
the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee,
after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 

In the event that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this
Indenture, if required by Section 4.16 hereof, the Issuer will cause such Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.16 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable. 

Section 10.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. 

No Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or
into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor, unless: 

(a)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and 

(b)    either: 

(1)    the Person acquiring the properties or assets in any such sale or other disposition or the Person
formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other agreement
in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or 
 (2)    such transaction or series of transactions
does not violate Section 4.10 hereof. 

  
 112 













 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition and upon the assumption
by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee of the Guarantor and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of
this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed
any or all of the notations of Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects
have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof. 
 Section 10.05 Releases. 

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be released: 

(a)    in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that
Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the sale or other disposition does not violate
Section 4.10 hereof; 
 (b)    in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor
to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 hereof and such Guarantor ceases to be a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as a result of the sale or other disposition; 
 (c)    such time as such Guarantor
is no longer a guarantor, borrower or other obligor, including by release or discharge, with respect to (i) the Credit Agreement, (ii) any other First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations and (iii) any other Indebtedness
incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(1) hereof; 
 (d)    upon designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (e)    upon Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 hereof; 

(f)    upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor; provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred
that is continuing; or 
 (g)    upon such Guarantor consolidating with, merging into or transferring all of its
properties or assets to the Issuer or another Guarantor, and as a result of, or in connection with, such transaction such Guarantor dissolving or otherwise ceasing to exist; 

Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that any of the conditions described in the
foregoing clauses (a) – (g) has occurred, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Issuer in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee. 

  
 113 













 Any Guarantor not released from its Obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this
Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on the Notes and for the other Obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10. 

ARTICLE 11 
 COLLATERAL 

Section 11.01    Security Documents. 

(a)    The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall be
due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium and interest on the Notes and performance of all other Obligations of the
Issuer and the Guarantors to the Holders, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents,
according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents, which define the terms of the Liens that secure First Lien Notes Obligations, subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and
the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agremeent, if any. The Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that the Notes Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders, the Trustee and the Notes
Collateral Agent and pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents, including the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the
Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, each as may be in effect or may be
amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement on the date of this Indenture, and the
Security Documents and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, at any time after the date of this Indenture, if applicable, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Issuer shall deliver
to the Notes Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be filed pursuant to the Security Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 11.01, to
assure and confirm to the Notes Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and
benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. 

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the actions required to be taken by the Issuer and each Guarantor
to create and perfect security interests in Collateral constituting real property shall be governed by Section 11.11. 

(c)    It is understood and agreed that prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, to the extent that the Bank
Collateral Agent is satisfied with or agrees to any deliveries or documents required to be provided in respect of any matters relating to the Collateral or makes any determination in respect of any matters relating to the Collateral (including,
without limitation, 

  
 114 













 
extensions of time or waivers for the creation and perfection of security interests in, or the obtaining of title insurance, surveys, legal opinions or other deliverables with respect to,
particular assets or the provision of any Guarantee by any Subsidiary (including in connection with assets acquired, or Subsidiaries formed or acquired, after the date of this Indenture) where it determines that such action cannot be accomplished
without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be accomplished by the Credit Agreement), the corresponding terms of this Indenture and the related Security Documents shall be deemed to have been
satisfied upon receipt of such deliveries and/or documents by the applicable Notes Secured Parties, and the determination of the Bank Collateral Agent in respect of any such matters under the Credit Agreement and the related security documents shall
be applicable in respect of such matters under this Indenture and the Security Documents; provided, that the Issuer shall have promptly delivered to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate, upon which the
Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall be permitted to conclusively rely, setting forth in reasonable detail a description of any such agreement or determination by the Bank Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, and until the
Trustee and Notes Collateral shall have received such an Officer’s Certificate, the express requirements of this Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the Collateral shall continue to be applicable. 

Section 11.02    Release of Collateral. 

(a)    Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents at any time and
from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and
this Indenture, the Issuer and the Guarantors will be entitled to the release of property and other assets constituting Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes and the First Lien Notes Obligations under any one or more of the following
circumstances: 
 (1)    to enable the Issuer and/or one or more Guarantors to consummate the sale,
transfer or other disposition (including by the termination of capital leases or the repossession of the leased property in a capital lease by the lessor) of such property or assets (to a Person that is not the Issuer or a Guarantor) to the extent
permitted by Section 4.10; 
 (2)    in the case of a Guarantor that is released from its Guarantee
with respect to the Notes pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the release of the property and assets of such Guarantor; 

(3)    upon the suspension of the covenants described in Section 4.18 (provided that the
investment grade ratings described in such section give effect to the proposed release of the Collateral); 

(4)    the release of Excess Proceeds that remain unexpended after the conclusion of an Asset Sale Offer
conducted in accordance with this Indenture; 
 (5)    the release of any Collateral that is or becomes
an Excluded Asset; or 

  
 115 













 (6)    pursuant to Article 9 hereof. 

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any Collateral is Disposed of as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement to any Person
other than the Issuer or any Guarantor, such Collateral shall be sold free and clear of the Liens created by the Security Documents, which Liens shall be automatically released upon the consummation of such Disposition. 

(b)    The Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes and the Guarantees also will be released: 

(1)     upon payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes
and all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Guarantees and the Security Documents that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid, 

(2)    upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.02
and Section 8.03 hereof, or a discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof, or 

(3)    pursuant to the Security Documents (including, without limitation, upon any release of any Liens (in
whole or in part) pursuant to Section 7.15 of the Security Agreement) or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, upon any release of any Liens (in whole or in part) by the Controlling Collateral Agent pursuant to
Section 2.04 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement). 
 (c)    Notwithstanding Section 11.02(a)(3) hereof,
if, after receiving an investment grade rating, the Notes cease to have such investment grade rating, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to provide to the Notes Collateral
Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes valid, perfected, first priority security interests (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral within 30 days after the Reversion Date (or, solely in respect of
Mortgages, 60 days thereafter) or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. In connection with executing or acknowledging any release of Lien on Collateral, the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon an
Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such release is permitted by this Indenture and related Security Documents and any conditions to such release have been complied with. 

(d)    With respect to any release of Collateral, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel
stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, to such release have been complied with and that it is permitted for the Trustee and/or Notes Collateral
Agent to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Issuer in connection with such release and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Issuer, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as
applicable, shall, execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Issuer’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents or the First Lien
Intercreditor Agreement and shall do or cause to be done (at the Issuer’s expense) all acts 

  
 116 













 
reasonably requested of them to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in
reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Security Document or in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall
not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, upon
which they shall be entitled to conclusively rely. 
 Section 11.03    Suits to Protect the Collateral. 

Subject to the provisions of Article 7 and the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent may
take, and the Trustee may direct the Notes Collateral Agent to take, all actions it determines in order to: 

(a)    enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and 

(b)    collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder. 

Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the
power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents or this
Indenture and such suits and proceedings as the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 11.03 shall be considered to impose any such
duty or obligation to act on the part of the Notes Collateral Agent. 
 Section 11.04    Authorization of
Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Security Documents. Subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the
Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture. 

Section 11.05    Purchaser Protected. In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported
to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Notes Collateral Agent to execute the applicable release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority
or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article 11 to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or
inquire into the authority of the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.  

Section 11.06    Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession
of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 11 upon the Issuer or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition 

  
 117 













 
of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or a
Guarantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 11; and if the Notes Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by
the Notes Collateral Agent. 
 Section 11.07    Notes Collateral Agent. 

(a)    Each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Notes Collateral Agent as its
agent under this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Notes Collateral Agent to
take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are
expressly delegated to the Notes Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and consents and agrees to the terms of the First
Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their
respective terms. The Notes Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 11.07. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized
and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the duties of the
Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents, the First Lien
Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee,
any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, if any, or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended
to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 (b)    The Notes Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties
under this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, by or through receivers, agents, employees,
attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in fact of such Person and its Affiliates (a 

  
 118 













 
“Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel of its selection concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be
fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and with due care. 

(c)    The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the
Issuer or any other Grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders. 

(d)    The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Issuer referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
“notice of default.” The Notes Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes in
accordance with Article 6 (subject to this Section 11.07). 
 (e)    The Notes Collateral Agent may resign at any
time by 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Notes Collateral Agent. If the Notes Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture,
the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the
direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall
not be required during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as
stated in the notice of resignation) the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor
collateral agent shall succeed to all the 

  
 119 













 
rights, powers and duties of the retiring Notes Collateral Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Notes Collateral
Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Notes Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11.07 (and Section 7.06 hereof) shall
continue to inure to its benefit, and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Notes Collateral Agent
under this Indenture. 
 (f)    The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall initially act as Notes Collateral
Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Notes Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents or the First Lien
Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect
or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the
Collateral or any part thereof. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

(g)    The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Security Documents to which it is
intended to be party, whether executed on or after the date of this Indenture, (ii) enter into the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement on the date of this Indenture, (iii) enter into the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, after
the date of this Indenture, (iv) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, (v) bind the Holders on the terms as
set forth in the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and (vi) perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and
the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any. 
 (h)    If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by
payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments
received by the Trustee from the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Notes Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee
shall promptly turn the same over to the Notes Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Notes Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the
terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, including the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

(i)    The Notes Collateral Agent is each Holder’s and the Trustee’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the
security interest granted under the Security Documents in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by 

  
 120 













 
possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such
Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Notes Collateral Agent’s instructions. 

(j)    The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that
the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained
or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Grantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and
completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to
continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
if any, other than pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents. 

(k)    If the Issuer or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien
Obligations at any time when no applicable intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing First Lien Intercreditor Agreement
or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent, if applicable, to
enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the applicable First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Lien
Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations so incurred, together with an Opinion of Counsel, the Notes Collateral Agent and Trustee, if applicable, shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole
expense and cost of the Issuer, including legal fees and expenses of the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder; provided that neither an
Officer’s Certificate nor an Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement to be entered into by the Notes Collateral Agent and Trustee on the date of this Indenture. 

(l)    No provision of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if
any, or any Security Document shall require the Notes Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to
take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Notes Collateral Agent) unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent and the
Trustee against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent relating thereto. 

  
 121 













 (m)    The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for interest on
any money received by it except as the Notes Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Notes Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law). The grant of
permissive rights or powers to the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act. 
 (n)    The
Notes Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any other Grantor under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
if any, and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents,
the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection
with, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and any Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness,
enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or
legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral
Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if
any, and any Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of this Indenture,
the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any. 

(o)    The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the
Holders distributed under the Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and to the extent not prohibited under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien
Intercreditor Agreement, if any, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 and the other provisions of
this Indenture. 

  
 122 













 (p)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in
any Security Document or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, in no event shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the
recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, if any (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the
Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby. 

(q)    Before the Notes Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the
Issuer or the Guarantors, other than as set forth in this Indenture, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of this Section 11.07 and Section 13.05 hereof. The Notes
Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion. 

(r)    The rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee are extended
to, and shall be enforceable by, the Notes Collateral Agent as if the Notes Collateral Agent were named as the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named as this Indenture herein. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
compensation, reimbursement and indemnity as set forth in Section 7.06, as if references therein to Trustee were references to Notes Collateral Agent. 

(s)    Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for
any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation,
corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a
result of this Indenture, any Security Document or any Mortgage related thereto. In the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Security Documents or any such Mortgage, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of
ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and no such action taken by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent shall be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of
such Collateral. In the event that the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust
obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Trustee’s or Notes Collateral Agent’s discretion may cause it to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, each of the Trustee and the Notes
Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as Trust or Notes Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Trustee


  
 123 













 
nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be liable to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule
or regulation by reason of the Trustee’s or the Notes Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or under any Security Document or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of
hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any person (including the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent) other than the Issuer or the
Guarantors, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes shall direct the Notes Collateral Agent or Trustee to appoint an appropriately qualified person (excluding the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who
they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property. 

Section 11.08    After-Acquired Collateral. From and after the date of this Indenture, and subject to the
terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, if (a) any Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor or (b) the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any property or rights which are of a type constituting Collateral under any Security Document
(excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Assets or assets not required to be Collateral pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents), it will be required to execute and deliver such mortgages, security instruments, financing
statements and such certificates, title insurance policies, surveys and opinions as are and solely to the extent required under this Indenture or any Security Document to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent a perfected first-priority security
interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in such after-acquired collateral (or all of its assets, except Excluded Assets, in the case of a new Guarantor) and to take such actions as are and solely to the extent required under this Indenture or any
Security Document to add such after-acquired collateral to the Collateral, in each case, except to the extent waived by the Bank Collateral Agent (as shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Issuer to the Notes Collateral
Agent and the Trustee), and thereupon all provisions of the Indenture and the Security Documents relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired collateral to the same extent and with the same force and effect. 

Section 11.09    Maintenance of Collateral. The Issuer will, and will cause each of the Guarantors to,
keep all property material to its business in good working order and condition consistent with industry practices, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the Issuer and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, and maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all its material property in amounts and against such risks as are usually insured against in the same general
area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business. 
 Section 11.10    Further Assurances.
On or following the date of this Indenture and subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute, file or cause the filing of any and all further
documents, financing statements (including continuation statements and amendments to financing statements), agreements and instruments and take all further action that may be required under applicable law and solely to the extent required under this
Indenture or the Security Documents in order to grant, preserve, maintain, protect and perfect (or continue the perfection of) the validity and priority of the Liens and security interests created or intended to be created by the Security Documents
in the Collateral (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, 

  
 124 













 
any Excluded Assets or assets not required to be Collateral pursuant to the Indenture or the Security Documents) and cause the Collateral Requirement to be and remain satisfied. In addition, from
time to time, the Issuer and each Guarantor will reasonably promptly (or within time periods required under this Indenture or the Security Documents), to the extent required under this Indenture or the Security Documents, secure the obligations
under this Indenture and the Security Documents by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests with respect to the Collateral (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Assets or assets not
required to be Collateral pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents). Such security interests and Liens will be created under the Security Documents and other applicable security agreements and other instruments and documents to the
extent required under this Indenture or the Security Documents. 
 Section 11.11 Real Estate 

(a)    With respect to any real property (x) owned by the Issuer or a Guarantor on the date of this Indenture and with
respect to which a mortgage has been granted for the benefit of the Senior Secured Credit Facility Secured Parties, within 180 days after the date of this Indenture or as soon as practical thereafter using commercially reasonable efforts, or
(y) acquired after the date of this Indenture and having a fair market value exceeding $50.0 million that forms a part of the Collateral within 60 days after the date such real property is acquired (or, with respect to this clause (y),
such later date as may be agreed to by the Bank Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement, as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent), the Issuer or Guarantor, as
applicable, shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent the following: 
 (1)    a fully executed
counterpart of a Mortgage covering the applicable real property, in accordance with the requirements of this Indenture, duly executed by the applicable Issuer or such Guarantor, together with such certificates, affidavits, questionnaires or returns
as shall be required in connection with the recording or filing thereof, together with any necessary evidence satisfactory to the Bank Collateral Agent of the completion (or arrangements satisfactory to the Bank Collateral Agent for the completion)
(such agreement by the Bank Collateral Agent to be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Issuer to the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee) of all recordings and filings of such Mortgage (and payment of any taxes or fees in
connection therewith), together with any necessary fixture filings, as may be necessary to create a valid, perfected first priority lien, subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens; (ii) a policy or policies or marked-up unconditional binder of title insurance, as applicable, in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent and its successors and/or assigns, in the form and amount consistent with the title insurance policies issued
to the Bank Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement paid for by the Issuer, issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company insuring the Lien of such Mortgage as a valid first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on the
applicable real property described therein, together with such endorsements, coinsurance and reinsurance as required by the Bank Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement; 

(2)    such surveys (or any updates or affidavits that the title insurance company may reasonably require
in connection with the issuance of the title insurance policies and sufficient for the title insurance company to remove the standard survey exception and issue the survey-related endorsements, 

  
 125 













 (3)    local counsel opinions consistent with the
opinions delivered to the Bank Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement; and 
 (4)    such

 ARTICLE 12 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 12.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, and the Liens, if any, on the
Collateral securing the Notes will be released (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes and as otherwise specified in this Article 12), when: 

(a)    either: 

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

(2)    all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable
by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and either the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely
for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest,
to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes at the date of Stated Maturity or redemption; 

(b)    in respect of subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section 12.01, no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the
granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is
bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in each case the
granting of Liens to secure such borrowings); 

  
 126 













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

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money or Government Securities have been deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section 12.01, the provisions of Sections 12.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of
Section 7.06 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 Section 12.02
Application of Trust Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money or Government Securities
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the
Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, or interest for whose payment such money or Government Securities have been deposited with the Trustee; but such
money or Government Securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying
Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof;
provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to
receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Attention: Corporate Trust Administration 

The Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee, by notice to the others, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or
communications. 
 All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) will be deemed to have been duly sent: at the time
delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if transmitted by facsimile or electronic transmission; and the next Business Day after timely

 The Trustee shall have the right to accept and
act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Issuer shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate
listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Issuer whenever a person is to be
added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuer elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be
deemed controlling. The Issuer understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an
Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Issuer shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that
the Issuer and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys 

  
 128 













 
upon receipt by the Issuer. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such
Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Issuer agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee,
including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods
of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Issuer; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its
transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the
security procedures. “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization
codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Trustee, or another method or system specified by the Trustee as available for use in connection with its services hereunder. 

Any notice or communication to a Holder will be (i) mailed by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, to its
address shown on the register kept by the Registrar, (ii) sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery to such address or (iii) if the Holder is the Depositary, sent by such other means as the Depositary may specify. Any
notice or communication will also be sent in the same manner to any Person described in TIA §313(c), to the extent required by the TIA. Failure to send a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it will not affect its sufficiency
with respect to other Holders. 
 If a notice or communication is sent in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly
given, whether or not the addressee receives it. 
 If the Issuer sends a notice or communication to Holders, it will send a copy to the
Trustee and each Agent at the same time. 
 Section 13.03 Communication by Holders of Notes with Other Holders of Notes. 

Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA §312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The
Issuer, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA §312(c).

 Section 13.06 Rules by Trustee and Agents. 

The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The Registrar or Paying Agent may make reasonable rules and set

and Unitholders. 
 No past, present or future director, officer, partner, employee, incorporator, manager or unitholder or other owner
of Capital Stock of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or for any claim based on, in respect
of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 
 [Insert
the Global Note Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture] 
 [Insert the Private Placement Legend, if applicable pursuant to
the provisions of the Indenture] 
 Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below
unless otherwise indicated. 
 (1)    INTEREST. SunCoke Energy, Inc.
a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 4.875% per annum from June 22, 2021 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in
arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date
to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the
face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 30, 2021. The Issuer will pay
interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum higher than the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to
the extent lawful; they will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), from time to time on demand at the
same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

(2)    METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer
will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June 15 and December 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled
after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office
or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose within the State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders;
provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire
transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

  
 A-2 













 (3)    PAYING AGENT
AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

(4)    INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated
as of June 22, 2021 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference
to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the
provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuer limited to $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount in the case of the Initial Notes. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate
principal amount of Additional Notes that may be issued thereunder. 
 (5)    OPTIONAL
REDEMPTION. 
 (a)    At any time prior to June 30, 2024, the
Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture, but in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering by the Issuer, upon notice as provided in
the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the
relevant Interest Payment Date); provided that: 
 (A)    at least 50% of the aggregate principal
amount of Notes originally issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 

(B)    the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 

(b)    At any time prior to June 30, 2024, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a
part of the Notes, upon notice as provided in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, subject to the
rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

(c)    The Issuer may redeem all (but not a portion of) the Notes when permitted by, and pursuant to the
conditions in, Section 4.15(f) of the Indenture. 
 (d)    Except pursuant to the preceding
paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to June 30, 2024. 

  
 A-3 













 (e)    On and after June 30, 2024, the Issuer
may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon notice as provided in the Indenture, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes
redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 30 of the years
indicated below: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2024
	  	 	102.438	% 
	 2025
	  	 	101.219	% 
	 2026 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (f)    At any time and from time to time prior to June 30, 2024, the
Issuer may, upon notice as provided in the indenture, redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes after the date of the
Indenture) during each twelve-month period commencing with the date of the Indenture at a redemption price of 103.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the rights of holders of notes
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 (g)    At
any time, in connection with any tender offer or other offer to purchase the notes (including pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer (each as defined below)), if not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
notes are purchased by the Issuer, or, in the case of a Change of Control Offer, any third party purchasing or acquiring notes in lieu of the Issuer, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon notice as described under
“—Selection and Notice,” to redeem the notes of such series that remain outstanding following such purchase at the price paid to holders in such purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, 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). 

(6)    MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuer
is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

(7)    REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION
OF HOLDER. 
 (a)    If there is a Change
of Control, the Issuer will be required, except as provided in Section 4.15(d) of the Indenture, to make a cash tender offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will give a notice to each Holder setting forth
the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture. 

  
 A-4 













 (b)    If the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Issuer consummates any Asset Sales, within five days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds the greater of (x) $25.0 million and (y) 2.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, the Issuer will make an Asset Sale
Offer to all Holders of Notes and, at the option of the Issuer, to (i) in the case of Excess Proceeds of an Asset Sale involving Collateral, any holders of First Lien Obligations and (ii) in the case of Excess Proceeds of an Asset Sale not
involving Collateral, any holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes, in each case, containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds
of sales of assets to purchase, prepay or redeem, on a pro rata basis, the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other First Lien Obligations or pari passu Indebtedness, as the case may be (plus all accrued interest on the
Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, and will be
payable in cash (or, in respect of any such other First Lien Obligations or pari passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Indebetnedess). If any Excess Proceeds remain
after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other First Lien Obligations
or pari passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, tendered in such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated to the purchase of Notes and such other First Lien Obligations or pari passu Indebtedness, as the case
may be, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except as provided in Section 4.10 of the Indenture), based on the amounts tendered. Selection of such other First Lien Obligations or pari passu
Indebtedness, as the case may be, will be made pursuant to the terms of such Indebtedness. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. Holders of Definitive Notes that are the subject of an offer to
purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Issuer prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes. 

(8)    NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 10
days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer will give a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a
redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or 12 thereof. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (9)    DENOMINATIONS,
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the 

  
 A-5 













 
Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes
or similar governmental charges required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being
redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

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

(11)    AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND
WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security
Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the
Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented: to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; to provide for the assumption of the
Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes, Note Guarantees and the Security Documents by a successor to the Issuer or such Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture; to make any change that would provide any additional rights
or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder; to conform the text of the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents to any provision of the
“Description of Notes” section of the Issuer’s Offering Memorandum dated June 8, 2021, relating to the initial offering of the Notes; to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in
the Indenture; to add any additional Guarantor or to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee, in each case as provided in the Indenture; to secure the Notes or the Note Guarantees pursuant to the requirement of
Section 4.12 of the Indenture; or to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee. 

(12)    DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of
Default include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in the payment when due (at Stated Maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium on, if any, the Notes,
(iii) failure by the Issuer to comply with the provisions of Section 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 or 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Issuer for 120 days after notice to the Issuer by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to comply with Section 4.03 of the Indenture; (v) failure by the Issuer for 60 days after notice to the Issuer by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding to comply with any of their other agreements in the Indenture or the Security Documents; (vi) default under certain other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries which 

  
 A-6 













 
default is a Payment Default or results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; (vii) failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay
certain final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of the greater of (x) $35.0 million and (y) 2.8% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (to the extent not covered by insurance by a reputable and
creditworthy insurer as to which the insurer has not disclaimed coverage), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 days; (viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial
proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee; (ix) certain
events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; and
(x) the Liens created by the Security Documents shall at any time not constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of the Collateral intended to be covered thereby (unless perfection is not required by the indenture or the
Security Documents) other than (A) in accordance with the terms of the relevant Security Document and the indenture, (B) the satisfaction in full of all Obligations under the indenture or (C) any loss of perfection that results from
the failure of the Notes Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Security Documents and (ii) such default continues for 30 days after receipt of written notice given by
the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer, any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without
further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default
or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to
the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium
on, if any, or interest on the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase any Notes). The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually an Officer’s Certificate regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is
required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a written statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 

  
 A-7 













 (13)    TRUSTEE
DEALINGS WITH THE ISSUER. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its
Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

(14)    NO RECOURSE AGAINST
OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, partner, employee, incorporator, manager or unitholder or other owner of Capital Stock of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any
obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 

(15)    AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 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 Guaranteeing Subsidiary, the other Guarantors, the Issuer and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
