(10)    to the extent not otherwise included in this definition, Hedging Obligations of such Person (calculated as the net termination value of the agreements or arrangements giving rise to such obligations that would be payable by such Person at such date); and

The amount of Indebtedness of any Person at any date shall be the outstanding balance at such date of all unconditional obligations as described in this definition, the maximum liability of such Person for any such contingent obligations at such date and, in the case of clause (7) of this definition, the lesser of (a) the Fair Market Value of any asset subject to a Lien securing the Indebtedness of others on the date that the Lien attaches and (b) the amount of the Indebtedness secured; provided, however, that the amount outstanding at any time of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount shall be deemed to be the face amount of such Indebtedness less the remaining unamortized portion of the original issue discount of such Indebtedness at such time, as determined in accordance with GAAP.

(b)    If at any time following the occurrence of a Suspension Event, the Notes’ credit rating is below an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency, then the Suspended Provisions will thereafter be reinstated as if such provisions had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies and no Default is in existence and continuing at such time (in which event the Suspended Provisions shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies); provided, however, that no Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Provisions based on, and none of the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below) that were permitted at such time, regardless of whether such actions or events would not have been permitted if the Suspended Provisions had remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the Suspension Event and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”
(c)    Promptly following the occurrence of any Suspension Event or Reinstatement Date, the Company will provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee regarding such occurrence. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently determine or verify if a Suspension Event or Reinstatement Date has occurred, monitor the ratings of the Notes or notify the Holders of any Suspension Event or Reinstatement Date. 
SECTION 4.09    Change of Control.
(a)    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of repurchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record as of the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due 
    -25-






on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in Section 4.09(b).
(b)    Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder and any agent appointed for such purpose with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating:
(1)    that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record as of the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date);
(2)    the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and
(3)    the instructions, as determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 4.09, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased.
(c)    Holders electing to have a Note repurchased will be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the repurchase date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the agent or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the repurchase date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for repurchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased.
(d)    On the repurchase date, all Notes repurchased by the Company under this Section 4.09 shall be delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto.
(e)    The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.09 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and repurchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of redemption or discharge that is or has become unconditional has been given pursuant to Section 3.12 or Section 8.01, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price or discharge.
(f)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.
    -26-






(g)    The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.09. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.09, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.
(h)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer or Change of Control Offer, if the Holders of Notes of not less than 90% in the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and the Company or a third-party in lieu of the Company purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to redeem all Notes that then remain outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price equal to the price offered to each other Holder (excluding any early tender or incentive fee) in such tender offer or Change of Control Offer plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer or Change of Control Offer, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
SECTION 4.10    Limitations on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
(a)    The Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (1) that designation would not cause a Default and (2) the Company concurrently designates, or has previously designated, such Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to and in compliance with each syndicated Credit Facility. The Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary. 
(b)    Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary must be evidenced by delivery to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with Section 4.10(a).
(c)    If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Liens of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Liens are not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.11, the Company shall be in default of such covenant.
(d)    The Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Liens by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Liens of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Liens are permitted under Section 4.11 and (2) no Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.
SECTION 4.11    Limitations on Liens.
    -27-






(a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to exist or become effective any Lien (a “Triggering Lien”) of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes (or under a Guarantee in the case of Liens of a Subsidiary Guarantor) are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured (such Indebtedness in respect of which the Notes or Guarantees have been so secured, the “Equal and Ratable Secured Indebtedness”) until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Triggering Lien.
(b)    In addition, the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries may create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness, without equally and ratably securing the Notes (or a Guarantee in the case of Liens of a Subsidiary Guarantor) pursuant to Section 4.11(a), if immediately thereafter the sum of (1) the aggregate principal amount of all Secured Indebtedness outstanding (excluding Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens and any Equal and Ratable Secured Indebtedness) and (2) all Attributable Indebtedness in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (excluding Attributable Indebtedness in respect of Permitted Sale and Leaseback Transactions and Exempt Sale and Leaseback Transactions) would not exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of such date.
(c)    For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.11 and Section 4.12, (1) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to either Section 4.11(a) or Section 4.11(b) or to one category (or portion thereof) of Permitted Liens described in clauses (1) through (27) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (2) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or preferred stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of either Section 4.11(a) or Section 4.11(b) or one or more of the categories (or portions thereof) of Permitted Liens described in clauses (1) through (27), the Company shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies (based on circumstances existing at the time of such division, classification or reclassification) with this Section 4.11. For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent that any Indebtedness is incurred to refinance, refund or replace any Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted under any clause of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or Section 4.11(b) that is limited by a percentage of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, the Indebtedness so incurred may be secured by Liens pursuant to such clause or subclause or Section 4.11(b) at such time.
(d)    With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on preferred stock in the form of additional shares of preferred stock of the 
    -28-






same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in the definition of “Indebtedness.”
SECTION 4.12    Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.
(a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction after the Issue Date, unless:
(1)    the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary receives Fair Market Value for the property sold (it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, fair value may take into account all circumstances of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, including, without limitation, the lease back arrangement); and
(2)    the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, within 365 days after the completion of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, applies, or enters into a definitive agreement to apply within such 365-day period, an amount equal to the net proceeds therefrom either:
(A)    to the redemption, repayment or other retirement for value of (i) the Notes or (ii) any indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is for borrowed money or is evidenced by a bond, note, debenture, guarantee or similar instrument (other than a trade payable or a current liability arising in the ordinary course of business) and which indebtedness ranks equally in right of payment with the Notes or a Guarantee, as applicable; or
(B)    to the purchase by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of property used in the trade or business of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary.
Any Sale and Leaseback Transaction that fulfills the requirements of clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.12(a) is a “Permitted Sale and Leaseback Transaction.”
(b)    The provisions of the covenant in Section 4.12(a) will not apply to (each, an “Exempt Sale and Leaseback Transaction”):
(1)    a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if, at the time such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into, the term of the related lease to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary of the property being sold pursuant to such transaction is three years or less;
(2)    a Sale and Leaseback Transaction for which the encumbrance on the relevant property would be a Permitted Lien; and
(3)    a Sale and Leaseback Transaction relating to a property entered into within 180 days after the latest of (A) the date of acquisition of such property by the Company 
    -29-






or any Restricted Subsidiary, (B) the date of completion of construction of such property and (C) the date of commencement of full operations of such property.
(c)    In addition, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if immediately thereafter the sum of (1) the aggregate principal amount of all Secured Indebtedness outstanding (excluding Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens and any Equal and Ratable Secured Indebtedness) and (2) all Attributable Indebtedness in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (excluding Attributable Indebtedness in respect of Permitted Sale and Leaseback Transactions or Exempt Sale and Leaseback Transactions) as of the date of determination would not exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of such date.
SECTION 4.13    Additional Guarantees.
After the Issue Date, the Company will cause each Restricted Subsidiary that guarantees Indebtedness (limited to clauses (1), (2) or (3) of the definition thereof) under any syndicated Credit Facility (including, without limitation, the Revolving Credit Facility) or capital markets debt securities in excess of $50,000,000, in each case of either the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, to execute and deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days of incurring such guarantee, a supplemental indenture to this Indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will provide a Guarantee. Each Guarantee shall be subject to the terms and limitations, including certain customary release provisions, contained in this Indenture. 
The Company at any time at its sole option may cause any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture to this Indenture and delivering the documents required by this Indenture.
SECTION 4.14    Reports to Holders.
Whether or not required by the SEC, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, from and after the Issue Date and within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (including any grace periods or extensions permitted by the SEC):
(1)    all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file these Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, an audit report on the annual financial statements by the Company’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 Company were required to file these reports.
In addition, whether or not required by the SEC, the Company shall file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.14 with the 
    -30-






SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (unless the SEC will not accept the filing) and make the information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.
At any time that there shall be one or more Unrestricted Subsidiaries that, in the aggregate, hold more than 15.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
In addition, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time the Company is not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, it shall furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
The Company will be deemed to have furnished the information and reports described above to the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors if the Company has filed such information and reports with the SEC using the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (or any successor system) and such information and reports are publicly available or, if the SEC will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, if the Company posts such information and reports on its website within the time periods specified above. The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine if such information and reports have been filed with the SEC or posted on the Company’s website, and the delivery of such information and reports to the Trustee is for informational purposes only. The Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive or actual notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee is under no duty to examine such information or reports to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein.
The Company will also deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that, to the signing Officers’ knowledge, no Default or Event of Default exists, or if a Default or Event of Default exists, a description of such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company and/or Subsidiary Guarantors are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.
The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the covenants set forth in this Indenture.
Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a failure to furnish in a timely manner any financial information required by this Section 4.14 shall be deemed cured (and the Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 4.14) upon furnishing such financial information as contemplated by this Section 4.14 (but without regard to the date on which such financial statement or report is so furnished).

(1)    either:
(A)    the Company will be the surviving or continuing Person; or
(B)    the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall be made (or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, any Person to which assets are transferred) (collectively, the “Successor”) is a corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of any State of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, and the Successor expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture, all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture; provided that, in the case of the Company, at any time the Successor is a limited liability company, there shall be a co-issuer of the Notes that is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of any State of the United States of America or the District of Columbia;
(2)    immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption (if applicable) of the obligations as set forth in Section 5.01(a)(1)(B), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(1)    either:

(A)    is caused by a failure to pay when due principal on such Indebtedness within the applicable express grace period, or 
(B)    results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express final maturity, and 
in each case, the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the outstanding principal amount of any other Indebtedness with respect to which an event described in Section 6.01(7)(A) or (B) has occurred and is continuing, aggregates to $40,000,000 or more; provided, however, that if any such default is cured or waived or any acceleration rescinded or such Indebtedness is repaid within a period of 10 days from the continuation of such default beyond any applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default under this Indenture and any consequential acceleration of the Notes shall automatically be rescinded so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree; or

The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” 
Section 7.02.    Acceleration.
Section 6.02 of the Indenture shall be amended by replacing that section of the Indenture in its entirety with the following, but only with respect to the Notes:

Upon any such declaration, the amounts due and payable on the Securities shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (4) or (5) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, such amounts shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Event of Default or all series so affected, as the case may be, by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences (other than nonpayment of principal of or premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities) if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) all existing Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be) have been cured or waived, except nonpayment of principal, premium, interest or any Additional Amounts that has become due solely because of the acceleration, and (iii) the Trustee has been paid any amounts due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

To further evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation relating to such Guarantee (the “Notation of Guarantee”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, shall be endorsed on each Security of the series entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, which Notation of Guarantee shall be executed by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor by manual signature, facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf,” “tif” or “jpg”) or other electronic signature (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security the Notation of Guarantee relating to such Guarantee.

Section 10.04 of the Indenture shall be amended by replacing that section of the Indenture in its entirety with the following, but only with respect to the Notes:

(4)    upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
(5)    at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor does not have any guarantees outstanding (and the release from one or more of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s other guarantees may be conditioned upon the concurrent release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee) that would have required such Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.13 except upon a discharge or release in full as a result of payment under such Guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still considered a release);
(6)    upon defeasance of the Securities pursuant to Article VIII;

(8)    as described under Section 9.06; or

(b)    The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee upon receipt of a written request of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that the Subsidiary Guarantor is entitled to such release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. If the Subsidiary Guarantor is not so released, it shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of 
    -38-






(and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Notes entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee as provided in this Indenture, subject to the limitations of Section 10.03.

(i)    shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(A)    if such Definitive Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or 
(B)    if such Definitive Notes are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect; or 
(C)    if such Definitive Notes are being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act: (i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Note) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(d)(i) hereof.

(iii)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4 hereof), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company at least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Company will make all payments on the Holder’s Notes to an account in the United States in accordance with those instructions. Otherwise, payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holder entitled thereto at the address indicated on the register maintained by the Registrar for the Notes.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (a) the Indenture or any series of securities under the Indenture (including the Notes) may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the securities of such series then outstanding and (b) any existing Default under, or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities of such series then outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee shall be entitled to amend the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to provide for 
Ex-A-9






uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of Definitive Notes, or to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders in the case of a merger or acquisition, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or the Indenture (to the extent permitted by the Indenture), or to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits (including the addition of collateral) to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, or to comply with SEC rules and regulations or changes to applicable law, or to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Final Offering Memorandum, or to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of the Issue Date, or to allow any Subsidiary Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes, or to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depositary.
14.    Defaults and Remedies.  Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (a) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Notes; (b) default in payment of principal on the Notes at maturity, upon redemption, upon purchase, upon acceleration or otherwise; (c) failure by the Company to comply with other agreements or covenants in the Indenture or the Notes, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (d) certain accelerations (including failure to pay within any grace period after final maturity) of other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds $40 million; (e) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; (f) certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $40 million; and (g) certain defaults with respect to Guarantees of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare all amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default that will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest or a Default in complying with Section 5.01 of the Indenture) if a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.
15.    Trustee Dealings with Company.  Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

16.    No Recourse Against Others.  No past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, stockholder, partner or other owner of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees.
17.    Authentication.  This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.
18.    Abbreviations.  Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).
19.    CUSIP Numbers.  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
20.    Governing Law.  THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Attention: LGI Homes, Inc. Account Manager
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[    ] principal amount of the 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) of LGI Homes, Inc. (with its successors and assigns, the “Company”). 
Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows: 
Name:                                                
Address:                                             
Taxpayer ID Number:                        
The undersigned represents and warrants to you that: 
1.    We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. 
2.    We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (i) to the Company 
    Ex-B-1






or any subsidiary thereof, (ii) inside the United States to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (iii) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of an institutional accredited investor, in each case in a minimum principal amount of the Notes of $250,000, (iv) outside the United States in a transaction complying with the provisions of Rule 904 under the Securities Act, (v) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if available) or (vi) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (i) through (vi) subject to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (iii) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (iii), (iv) or (v) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
