 (ii) consolidated income tax
expense for such period; 
 (iii) all amounts attributable to depreciation for such period and amortization of intangible

 (iv) (A) extraordinary expenses or losses for such period or (B) any unusual or

(viii) any fees and expenses for such period relating to the “Transactions” (as such term is defined in the Credit

(b) without duplication and to the extent included in determining such Consolidated Net Income, the sum of: 

(i) (A) any extraordinary gains for such period or (B) any unusual or nonrecurring noncash gains for such period;


  
 6 












 (ii) any gains for such period attributable to the early extinguishment of

application of “mark to market” accounting in respect of Swap Agreements; and

exclude the effect of any gain or loss that represents after-tax gains or losses attributable to any sale, transfer or other disposition of assets by the Company or any of the Specified Consolidated
Subsidiaries, other than dispositions of inventory and other dispositions in the ordinary course of business. 
 All amounts added back in
computing Consolidated EBITDA for any period pursuant to clause (a) above, and all amounts subtracted in computing Consolidated EBITDA pursuant to clause (b) above, to the extent such amounts are, in the reasonable judgment of a financial
officer of the Company, attributable to any Specified Consolidated Subsidiary that is not wholly owned, directly or indirectly through the Specified Consolidated Subsidiaries, by the Company shall be reduced by the portion thereof that is
attributable to the ownership interest in such Specified Consolidated Subsidiary that is not directly, or indirectly through the Specified Consolidated Subsidiaries, owned by the Company. 

For purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA for any period, if during such period the Company or any Specified Consolidated Subsidiary
shall have consummated a Material Acquisition or a Material Disposition or an Asset Disposition, Consolidated EBITDA for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto, and in the case of an Asset Disposition, the application
of the proceeds therefrom, in accordance with this paragraph. All pro forma computations required to be made under this Indenture giving effect to any transaction shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (and, in the case of any pro
forma computations made hereunder to determine whether or other transaction is permitted to be consummated hereunder, to any other such transaction consummated since the first day of the period covered by any component of such pro forma computation
and on or prior to the date of such computation) as if such transaction had occurred on the first day of the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending with the Most Recent Fiscal Quarter, and, to the extent applicable, to the historical
earnings and cash flows associated with the assets acquired or disposed of and any related incurrence or reduction of Indebtedness, all in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the
Securities Act. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for

 ARTICLE II 

The Notes 
 SECTION 2.1.
Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Initial Notes are set forth in the Rule 144A/Regulation S Appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix”), which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made part of, this
Indenture. The Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Appendix which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this Indenture. The Notes may have
notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuers are subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuers). Each Note
shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in each of the Appendix, Exhibit 1 and Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture. 

SECTION 2.2. Execution and Authentication. An Officer of each Issuer shall sign the Notes for such Issuer by manual or facsimile
signature which may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon. 
 If the Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office
at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Note shall not be valid until an authorized
signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature of the Trustee on a Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly and validly authenticated under this Indenture. 

On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver $800,000,000 of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2026 and, at any time and from time to
time thereafter, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in such order, in each case upon a written order of the Issuers signed by an Officer of each Issuer (the “Issuer
Order”). Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of
such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as
any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 

  
 20 












 SECTION 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuers shall maintain an office or
agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the
Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers may have one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any such additional paying agent. The Issuers may change the Registrar or appoint one or more co-Registrars without notice. 
 In the event the Issuers shall retain any Person not a party to this
Indenture as an agent hereunder, the Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent.
The Issuers shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such agent. If the Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to
Section 7.7. The Issuers shall be responsible for the fees and compensations of all agents appointed or approved by it. Either Issuer or any of their domestically incorporated wholly owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent. 

The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. 

SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on
which any principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest when due. The Issuers shall require each Paying
Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Notes, shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment and shall, during the continuance of any default by the Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment in respect of the
Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Notes. If either of the Issuers or any of their respective Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it
shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed
by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.4, the Paying Agent (if other than one of the Issuers or a Subsidiary of the Issuers) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to an Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 SECTION 2.5.
Noteholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall cause the
Registrar to furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably 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 Noteholders. 

  
 21 












 SECTION 2.6. Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and
shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer. When a Note is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall
register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. 

SECTION 2.7. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note shall provide the
Issuers and the Trustee with evidence to their satisfaction that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. In addition, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity or surety bond sufficient in
the judgment of the Issuers and the Trustee to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their
expenses in replacing a Note, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers. 

SECTION 2.8. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by
it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because an Issuer or an Affiliate of an Issuer holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuers receive proof satisfactory
to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code). 

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient
to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 SECTION 2.9. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery,
the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without
unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Notes. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary
Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Issuers for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, one or more definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as a Holder of definitive Notes. 

  
 22 












 SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee
for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer or exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel (subject to the record
retention requirements then in effect) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, payment or cancellation and, upon the written request of the Issuers, deliver evidence of such cancellation to the Issuers. The Issuers may not
issue new Notes to replace Notes they have redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, which shall not prohibit the Issuers from issuing any Additional Notes. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee may be disposed of by the Trustee
in accordance with its then customary practices and procedures. The Trustee shall provide to the Issuers a list of all Notes that have been canceled from time to time as requested in writing by the Issuers. 

SECTION 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuers shall pay, or shall deposit
with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay, defaulted interest plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful at the rate specified therefor in the Notes in any lawful manner. The Issuers may pay the
defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date, which shall be the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by the Issuers for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At
least 15 days before such special record date, the Issuers shall mail or electronically deliver or cause to be mailed or electronically delivered to each Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of
defaulted interest to be paid. The Issuers shall 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 Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any Holder to determine the amount of defaulted interest, or with respect to the nature, extent or calculations of the amount of defaulted interest owed. 

SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common
Code” numbers (in each case, if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided,
however, 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 or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any “CUSIP”
numbers, ISINs or “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Notes. 
 SECTION 2.13. Issuance of Additional Notes. After the
Issue Date, the Issuers shall, subject to compliance with the terms of this Indenture but without notice to or the consent of any Holders, be entitled to create and issue Additional Notes under this Indenture, which Notes shall have identical terms
as, and rank equally and ratably with, the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price, the initial interest accrual date and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable
thereto. 

  
 23 












 With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuers shall set forth in a resolution of the
Board of Directors of each Issuer and an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee along with the Issuer Order, the following information: 

(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and

 (b) the issue price, the issue date, the initial interest accrual date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes,
provided, however, that no Additional Notes may be issued with the same CUSIP number as the Notes previously issued under this Indenture if such Additional Notes are not fungible with such previously issued Notes for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. 
 SECTION 2.14. One Class of Notes. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes shall vote
and consent together on all matters as one class; and none of the Initial Notes or any Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes shall together be deemed to
constitute a single class or series for all purposes under this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE III 

Redemption 
 SECTION 3.1.
Notices to Trustee. If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes, they shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. In connection with any redemption
pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes prior to February 15, 2026, the Company shall give the Trustee notice of the redemption price promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation. 

The Issuers shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.1 at least 30 days before the redemption date unless the
Trustee consents to a shorter period. 
 Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate from the Issuers to the effect
that such redemption shall comply with the conditions herein. 
 SECTION 3.2. Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. If
fewer than all the Notes then outstanding are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, in accordance with methods generally used at the
time of selection by indenture trustees in similar circumstances. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. Notes and portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or
integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, interests in the Notes shall be selected for redemption by the Depository in accordance with its standard procedures therefor. 

  
 24 












 SECTION 3.3. Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
a date for redemption of Notes, the Issuers shall mail by first-class mail or electronically deliver or cause to be mailed by first-class mail or electronically delivered a notice of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its
registered address. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 

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

(2) the redemption date; 

(3) the redemption price (or the method of calculating such price) and the amount of accrued interest to be paid, if any; 

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

(5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any; 
 (6) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate number (if
certificated) and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed; 
 (7) that, unless the Issuers default in making
such redemption payment, interest on Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

(8) the CUSIP number, or any similar number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed; 

(9) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, or any similar number, if any, listed
in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 
 (10) any conditions precedent to the redemption. 

At the Issuers’ written request (which may be rescinded or revoked at any time prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have given
such notice to the Holders), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the name of the Issuers and at the Issuers’ expense. In such event, the Issuers shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.3 at
least five Business Days prior to the date chosen for giving such notice to the Holders (unless the Trustee shall agree to a shorter period). The notice, if mailed or electronically delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively
presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or electronic delivery or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in
part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Notes. 

  
 25 












 SECTION 3.4. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed or
electronically delivered in accordance with Section 3.3, Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price as stated in the notice, subject to satisfaction of any condition specified
with respect to such redemption. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent on or after the redemption date, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date;
provided that the Issuers shall have deposited the redemption price with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of redemption. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder
shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder. Noteholders of record on the relevant record date shall be entitled to receive interest due on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to a redemption date. 

SECTION 3.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of redemption, the Issuers shall
deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if an Issuer or any of their respective Subsidiaries is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes
to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption which are owned by an Issuer or a Subsidiary of an Issuer and have been delivered by such Issuer or such Subsidiary to the Trustee for cancellation. All money,
if any, earned on funds held by the Paying Agent shall be remitted to the Issuers. In addition, the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay
the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed. 
 Unless the Issuers default in the payment of such
redemption price, interest on the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on and after the applicable redemption date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. 

SECTION 3.6. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate for the Holder thereof (at the Issuers’ expense) a new Note, equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 ARTICLE IV 

Covenants 
 SECTION 4.1.
Payment of Notes. The Issuers, jointly and severally, covenant and agree that they shall promptly pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if, on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date, the Trustee or the Paying Agent (or, if an Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuers is the Paying
Agent, the segregated account or separate trust fund maintained by such Issuer or such Subsidiary pursuant to Section 2.4) holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.


  
 26 












 The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the
Notes, and they shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful as provided in Section 2.11. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Issuers or the Paying Agent may, to the extent it is required to do
so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America or other domestic or foreign taxing authorities from principal, premium, if any, or interest payments hereunder. 

SECTION 4.2. Limitations on Secured Indebtedness. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or
indirectly, create or incur, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or incur, any Secured Indebtedness without in any such case effectively providing, concurrently with or prior to the incurrence
of any such Secured Indebtedness, that the Notes or, in respect of Liens on the property or assets of any Guarantor, the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be secured equally and ratably with such Secured Indebtedness; provided,
however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Secured Indebtedness if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Secured Indebtedness, the sum of the
aggregate amount of (a) all Secured Indebtedness then outstanding, excluding Secured Indebtedness which is secured to the same extent as the Notes or that is being repaid concurrently, and (b) all Attributable Debt payable under leases
entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 4.3(a), does not at that time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. 

SECTION 4.3. Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. The Company shall not directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries directly or indirectly to, enter into any lease longer than three years covering any property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, of the Company or of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is sold to any other
Person in connection with such lease, unless immediately after the consummation of the sale and leaseback transaction either: 

(a) the sum of all Attributable Debt payable under leases entered into by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant
to this Section 4.3(a) and the aggregate amount of all Secured Indebtedness then outstanding, excluding Secured Indebtedness which is secured to the same extent as the Notes or that is being repaid concurrently, does not exceed 15% of
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; or 
 (b) an amount equal to the net proceeds received in connection with such sale is used
within 180 days to retire or redeem Indebtedness of the Company (including the Notes) or the Restricted Subsidiaries, the proceeds are at least equal to the fair market value of the property sold and the Trustee is informed of the transaction;
provided, further that, in lieu of applying all of or any part of such net proceeds to such retirement, the Company may, within 180 days after such sale, cancel or deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable trustee for
cancellation either debentures or notes evidencing Indebtedness of the Company (which may include the Notes) or of a Restricted Subsidiary previously issued or authenticated and delivered by the applicable trustee, and not theretofore tendered for
sinking fund purposes or called for a sinking fund or otherwise applied as a credit against an obligation to redeem or retire such notes or debentures, and an Officers’ Certificate (which shall be delivered to the Trustee) stating that the
Company elects to deliver or cause to be delivered such debentures or notes in lieu of retiring Indebtedness as hereinabove provided. 

  
 27 












 SECTION 4.4. Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Company shall not declare or
make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment, except: 
 (a) any Restricted Payment if at the time of, and
immediately after giving pro forma effect to (consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the last paragraph of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”), such Restricted Payment and any related incurrence of
Indebtedness or other transactions (i) no default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom and (ii) the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the Most Recent Fiscal Quarter prior to the making of
such Restricted Payment shall not exceed 4.50 to 1.00; 
 (b) Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount, when taken together
with all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (b) at that time outstanding, not to exceed $100.0 million; and 

(c) to the extent constituting a Restricted Payment, the distribution or transfer of any Midstream Unrelated Assets or
Gathering Unrelated Assets to the HIP General Partner, Hess Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). 

SECTION 4.5. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. (a) The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any Restricted
Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to consummate any Asset Disposition unless: 
 (1) the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) of the Equity Interests and assets subject to
such Asset Disposition; and 
 (2) at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition received by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; 
 provided, however, that if the
Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the Most Recent Fiscal Quarter prior to any Asset Disposition is (or, after giving pro forma effect to (consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the last paragraph of the definition of
“Consolidated EBITDA”) such Asset Disposition, would be) 4.50 to 1.00 or less, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to comply with the restrictions and obligations set forth in this Section 4.5 with
respect to any such Asset Disposition. 
 (b) Within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the
receipt of such Net Available Cash, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply, at its option, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition: 

(1) to repay Obligations under the Credit Agreement and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 

  
 28 












 (2) to prepay, repay, redeem, reduce or purchase (and, in the case of a
revolving credit facility, correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) Obligations under Secured Indebtedness (or other secured Indebtedness under any Credit Facilities) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any
Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Obligations) other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(3) to prepay, repay, redeem, reduce or purchase (and, in the case of a revolving credit facility, correspondingly reduce
commitments with respect thereto) Obligations under other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Obligations) other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary; provided that the Company shall equally and ratably redeem or repurchase the Notes (i) pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes, (ii) through open market purchases or (iii) by making an Asset Disposition Offer (as defined
below) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid; 

(4) to invest in Additional Assets or make capital expenditures in or that are used or useful in a Similar Business; 

(5) to prepay, repay, reduce or purchase (and, in the case of a revolving credit facility, correspondingly reduce commitments
with respect thereto) Obligations under Indebtedness of a Specified Consolidated Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Specified Consolidated Subsidiary; or 

(6) in any combination of applications described in (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) above; 

provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) or (6) above and
clause (c) below, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise use such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture; provided, further, that in the case of clause (4), a
binding commitment to invest in Additional Assets or to make such capital expenditures shall be treated as a permitted application of an amount of Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such amount of Net Available Cash will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 365 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any
Acceptable Commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such amount of Net Available Cash is applied in connection therewith, the 

  
 29 












 
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination, it being understood that if
a Second Commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such amount of Net Available Cash is applied, then such amount of Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds. 

For the purposes of clause (a)(2) above and for no other purpose, the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(1) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than (x) liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantees, (y) Preferred Stock and (z) Disqualified Stock) that are assumed by the transferee of any such
assets (or that are otherwise canceled, forgiven or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee) for which the Company and all such Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing; 

(2) the principal amount of any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result
of such Asset Disposition (other than intercompany debt owed to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries), to the extent that the Company and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of payment of the principal amount of
such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition; 
 (3) any Designated
Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other
Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (3) that is at that time outstanding, not in excess of $50 million, 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; 

(4) any MLP Common Unit Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such sale, transfer,
lease or other disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other MLP Common Unit Consideration received pursuant to this clause (4) that is at that time outstanding, not in excess of $150 million, with the
value of each item of MLP Common Unit Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; 

(5) any interests or securities received by the MLP General Partner in respect of such sale, transfer, lease or other
disposition in order to maintain a 2% general partner interest in the MLP; and 
 (6) any securities, notes or other
obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180
days following the closing of such Asset Disposition. 

  
 30 












 (c) Any amount of Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not
applied or invested as provided in the first paragraph of clause (b) above will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” On the 366th day after an Asset Disposition, or earlier at the Company’s option, if the aggregate amount
of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50 million, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary will make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders and, at the Company’s election, to the holders of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to
purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Indenture or the agreements governing the relevant Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, in each case in denominations of $2,000 and larger integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will commence an
Asset Disposition Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds by mailing or causing to be mailed by first-class mail (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository) the notice required pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture to the Holders at each Holder’s registered address, with a copy to the trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and the relevant Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset
Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal
amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be repurchased shall be selected on a
pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and tendered Pari Passu Indebtedness. Upon completion of such Asset Disposition Offer, regardless of the amount of Excess Proceeds used to purchase Notes or other Pari
Passu Indebtedness pursuant to such Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
 (d) The
Asset Disposition Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Asset Disposition Offer Period”). No later than five
Business Days after the termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “Asset Disposition Purchase Date”), the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall apply all Excess Proceeds to the purchase of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 4.5 (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes (and, if
applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness) has been so validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in response to the Asset Disposition Offer. Payment for any Notes so
purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 

  
 31 












 (e) The Company and any Restricted Subsidiary 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 4.5. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.5, the Company and such Restricted Subsidiary will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under this Section 4.5 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. 
 SECTION 4.6. Limitation on the
Disposition of Ownership of the MLP General Partner. 
 (a) The Company shall not, at any time from and after the Issue
Date, cease to be the “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of a majority in the
aggregate of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the MLP General Partner, whether as a result of issuance of securities of such Person, any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of such Person or otherwise (for purposes of this
Section 4.6(a), the Company shall be deemed to beneficially own any Voting Stock of a specified Person held by any parent entity so long as the Company beneficially owns (as defined above), directly or indirectly, in the aggregate a majority of
the voting power of the Voting Stock of the parent entity); and 
 (b) the Company shall not permit, and shall cause its
Restricted Subsidiaries not to permit, the merger or consolidation of the MLP General Partner with or into another Person or the merger of another Person with or into the MLP General Partner, the sale, directly or indirectly, of a majority of the
IDRs held by the MLP General Partner or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the MLP General Partner (determined on a consolidated basis) to another Person other than (i) a transaction in which the survivor or transferee is a
Person that is Controlled by the Company or (ii) a transaction following which in the case of a merger or consolidation transaction, holders of securities that represented 100% of the Voting Stock of the MLP General Partner immediately prior to
such transaction (or other securities into which such securities are converted as part of such merger or consolidation transaction) own, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person in
such merger or consolidation transaction immediately after such transaction and in substantially the same proportion as before the transaction. 

SECTION 4.7. Limitation on Indebtedness of Specified Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not permit any Specified Unrestricted
Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof) to, directly or indirectly create, incur or permit to exist any Indebtedness, other than (a) Indebtedness owing to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (b) Indebtedness of any Specified
Unrestricted Subsidiary or any of its Subsidiaries owing to a Specified Unrestricted Subsidiary or any of its Subsidiaries and (c) other Indebtedness (excluding guarantees of Indebtedness of any other Person) in an aggregate principal amount at
any time outstanding for all Specified Unrestricted Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries not to exceed $350,000,000.

 (d) So long as the Company is not subject to the

long as any Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act. 
 (e) The Trustee shall have no responsibility to
determine if the Company has complied with its reporting requirements or if the Company has posted any information on its website. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the
Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information or documents shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of
its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 SECTION 4.13. Change
of Control Triggering Event. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has mailed or electronically delivered, or has caused to be mailed or electronically delivered, a notice of redemption pursuant
to paragraph 5 of the Notes with respect to all outstanding Notes and redeems all Notes validly tendered pursuant to such notice of redemption, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes, in whole
or in part, at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of such purchase (subject to the right

 34 












 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, unless

merge into any other Person or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, any other Person, unless: 

(a) such Issuer is the continuing Person or, if such Issuer is not the continuing Person, the successor is a corporation or
other entity organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof and expressly assumes by a supplemental indenture the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and any premium or any interest on, all the Notes and the performance

 (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction no Default or Event of
Default would occur and be continuing or would result from the transaction.

 ARTICLE VI 

Defaults and Remedies 

SECTION 6.1. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs with respect to the Notes: 

(1) failure to pay the principal of, or any premium on, the Notes when due at the Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption,
upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; 
 (2) failure to pay interest on the Notes when
due, continued for 30 days; 
 (3) failure by an Issuer or any Guarantor to comply with any other covenant or other agreement
in this Indenture for 60 days after the Issuers have received written notice of such failure from the Trustee or from the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes; 

(4) Indebtedness of an Issuer or any Guarantor is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is
accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or cross accelerated exceeds $75,000,000; 

(5) an Issuer pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(A) commences a voluntary case; 

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case in which it is the debtor; 

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

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

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

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

(A) is for relief against an Issuer in an involuntary case; 

(B) appoints a Custodian of an Issuer or for any substantial part of the property of the an Issuer; or 

(C) orders the winding up or liquidation of an Issuer; 

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

  
 37 












 (7) the Guarantee of any Guarantor for any reason ceases to be in full force
and effect or is declared null and void by any responsible officer of such Guarantor, other than any such cessation, denial or disaffirmation in connection with the termination of such Guarantee pursuant to the provisions of Article X. 

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary
or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The
term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 A
Default with respect to Notes under clause (3) of this Section 6.1 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee (by notice to the Issuers) or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (by notice to
the Issuers and to the Trustee) gives notice of the Default and the Issuers do not cure such Default within the time specified in said clause (3) after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and
state that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. 
 The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee written notice in the form of an
Officers’ Certificate, within 30 days of an Officer of the Company becoming aware of such event, of any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuers are
taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes
(other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(5) or 6.1(6) with respect to an Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Notes by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders, shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a
declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(5) or 6.1(6) with respect to an Issuer occurs and is continuing, the principal
of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest that has become due solely because of such acceleration and all amounts owing to the Trustee have been paid. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or to collect such monies or protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of the Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as
the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper
remedy. 

  
 38 












 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. Any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee may be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements of the Trustee and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Noteholder in exercising any
right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are, to the extent permitted
by law, cumulative. 
 SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of no less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, waive any past or existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (1) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on a Note or (2) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each Noteholder affected. When a Default or Event of Default is
waived, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right. 
 SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. Upon provision of security or
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to
the Notes or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee, which may conclusively rely on opinions of counsel, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee
determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Noteholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent
with such direction (it being understood that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any actions or forbearances taken or suffered in accordance with such direction are unduly prejudicial to Noteholders not
joining in such direction). 
 SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. A Holder of Notes may not pursue any remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (i) An Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Holder gives to the Trustee prior
written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

  
 39 












 (iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it
against any costs, liabilities or expenses in compliance with such request; 
 (iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60
days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (v) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 

A Noteholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Noteholder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). 

SECTION 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to
receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together
with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7. 
 SECTION 6.9. Trustee May
File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers, their respective creditors or any other obligor upon the Notes, or any of their creditors or the
property of the Issuers or such other obligor or their creditors and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and
any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. 

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. Any money or other property collected by the Trustee pursuant to Article VI hereof, or any money or other
property otherwise distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, shall be applied in the following order: 

FIRST: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee), its agents and its counsel for amounts due under this Indenture;


  
 40 












 SECOND: to Noteholders 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 

THIRD: to the Issuers. 

The Trustee may, upon prior written notice to the Issuers, fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this
Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuers shall mail or electronically deliver or cause to be mailed or electronically delivered to each Noteholder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date
and amount to be paid. 
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This
Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 

SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuers (to the extent they may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon,
or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuers
(to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE VII 

Trustee 
 SECTION 7.1.
Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their 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: 
 (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth
in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee (it being understood that permissive rights granted to the Trustee shall not be construed as duties of the Trustee); and 

  
 41 












 (ii) 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 Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such
Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel 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 liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this subsection does not limit the effect of subsections (b) or (f) of this Section 7.1;

 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee
was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (iii) the Trustee shall 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 6.5. 
 (d) Every provision of
this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to subsections (a), (b), (c) and (f) of this Section 7.1. 

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money or other property received by it or for holding moneys or other
property uninvested, in either case, except as otherwise agreed between the Issuers and the Trustee. Money and other property held in trust by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which
they were received, but need not be segregated from other money or property except to the extent required by law. 
 (f) No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

(g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1. 
 SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance on, any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or 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 Officers’ Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel, or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

  
 42 












 (c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers or perform any
duties hereunder either directly or through attorneys and agents, respectively, and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care by it hereunder. 

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes, suffers to exist or omits to take in good faith which it believes
to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters
relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of
Default with respect to the Notes unless either (1) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to a Trust Officer of the
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office by the Issuers or any other obligor on the Notes or by any Holder of the Notes. Any such notice shall reference this Indenture and the Notes. 

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, including its
rights to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder. 

(i) 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 reasonable inquiry or
reasonable 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, upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, to examine the books,
records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

  
 43 












 (j) The Trustee may request that the Issuers deliver a certificate,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of Officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 

(k) 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. 

(l) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties
hereunder. 
 SECTION 7.3. 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 Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
 SECTION 7.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall 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 Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the
Issuers in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 

SECTION 7.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or an Event of Default occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing and if it is
actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail or electronically deliver to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90 days after it is known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by a Trust Officer of
the Trustee; provided, however, that no notice of a Default of the character specified in Section 6.1(3) shall be delivered by the Trustee until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default in
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding notice is not opposed to the interests of Noteholders. 

SECTION 7.6. Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as practicable after each February 15 beginning with the February 15
following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to April 15 in each year, the Trustee shall mail or electronically deliver to each Noteholder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with Section 313(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act if required by such Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with Section 313(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Issuers a copy of any report it delivers to Holders pursuant to this
Section 7.6. 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing or electronic delivery to Noteholders shall be filed by the Trustee
and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee in writing whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

  
 44 












 SECTION 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity. Each of the Issuers and each Guarantor,
jointly and severally, covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee (and any predecessor Trustee) from time to time such compensation for its services as the Issuers and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers and each Guarantor shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture, including costs of collection, in addition to such compensation for its services, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct as finally
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Trustee shall provide the Issuers reasonable notice of
any expenditure not in the ordinary course of business. The Issuers and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and any predecessor Trustees against any and all loss, damage,
claim, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (other than taxes applicable to the Trustee’s compensation hereunder) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of its powers or duties hereunder (including, without limitation, settlement costs), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought to enforce the
Trustee’s right to compensation, reimbursement or indemnification. The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim of which a Trust Officer has received written notice and for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee so to
notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers of their obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Issuers have been prejudiced by such failure. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate, to the extent
reasonable, in the defense of any such claim, and, if (in the opinion of counsel to the Trustee) the facts or issues surrounding the claim are reasonably likely to create a conflict with the Issuers, the Issuers shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of separate counsel to the Trustee. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence as finally
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Issuers need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

To secure the Issuers’ payment obligations under this Section 7.7, the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee) shall have a lien
prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. 

The Issuers’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction, discharge and termination of this
Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and any discharge of this Indenture including any discharge under any Bankruptcy Law. In addition to and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under applicable law or any of the
provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.1(5) or (6) with respect to an Issuer, the expenses and the compensation for the services are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law. 

  
 45 












 SECTION 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time upon 60
days’ written notice to the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee upon 60 days’ written notice to the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee, which successor
Trustee shall be reasonably acceptable to the Issuers. The Issuers shall remove the Trustee if: 
 (i) the Trustee fails to
comply with Section 7.10; 
 (ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

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

 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers and the Issuers
shall pay all amounts due and owing to the Trustee under Section 7.7 of this Indenture. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties
of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail or electronically deliver a notice of its succession to Noteholders affected by such resignation or removal. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it
as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office
with respect to the Notes within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuers any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Noteholder may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding
the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

SECTION 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such
corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties
hereto. 

  
 46 












 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to
the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver
such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the
Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the
Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act;
provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other
securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are met. 

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuers. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent
indicated. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance 

SECTION 8.1. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. (a) With respect to the Notes, when (i) all outstanding Notes
theretofore authenticated and issued (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Notes that have been replaced or paid) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation (A) have become due and payable, whether at maturity, as a result of repayment at the option of the Holders or as a result of the mailing or electronic delivery of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article III hereof or
(B) shall become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or (C) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the
name, and at the expense, of the Issuers, and, in each case of this clause (ii), an Issuer or any Guarantor irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited with the Trustee, in trust, funds (immediately available to the Holders in the case of clause
(ii)(A)) in U.S. dollars in an amount sufficient, or U.S. Government Obligations, which through the scheduled payment of principal of and interest thereon will be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, without reinvestment,


  
 47 












 
in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants (which need not be provided if only U.S. dollars shall have been deposited), to pay at maturity or upon
redemption all outstanding Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date, and if in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) an Issuer or any Guarantor pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuers and the
Guarantors, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.1(c), cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Issuers accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate
from the Issuers and an Opinion of Counsel from the Issuers that all conditions precedent provided herein relating to satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 

(b) Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2, an Issuer or any Guarantor at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations
under the Notes and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.12 and 4.13 and the operation of Sections 6.1(3), 6.1(4) and 6.1(7) (“covenant defeasance
option”). An Issuer or any Guarantor may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. 

If an Issuer or any Guarantor exercises its legal defeasance option with respect to the Notes, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default. If an Issuer or any Guarantor exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.1(3), 6.1(4) or 6.1(7). 

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuers, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge
of those obligations that an Issuer or any Guarantor terminates. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clause (a) above or the exercise
of a legal defeasance option, the Issuers’ obligations in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 4.1, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 7.7, 7.8, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuers’ and the
Trustee’s obligations in Sections 7.7, 8.4 and 8.5 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 SECTION 8.2. Conditions to
Defeasance. An Issuer or any Guarantor may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with respect to the Notes only if: 

(i) such Issuer or such Guarantor irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited in trust with the Trustee funds in U.S.
dollars in an amount sufficient, or U.S. Government Obligations, which through the scheduled payment of principal of and interest thereon will be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, without reinvestment to pay the principal, premium, if
any, and interest when due on all outstanding Notes (except Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.7) to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(ii) unless only U.S. dollars shall have been so deposited, the Issuers deliver to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally
recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their written opinion that the scheduled payments of principal and interest on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money shall be sufficient, without reinvestment, to pay
the principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all outstanding Notes (except Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.7) to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

  
 48 












 (iii) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuers shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) 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 shall confirm that, the Noteholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit
and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and 

(iv) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the Noteholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and 
 (v) the Issuers deliver to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes as contemplated by this Article VIII have been complied with. 

Before or after a deposit, the Issuers may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Notes at a future date in
accordance with Article III. 
 SECTION 8.3. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations either directly or through the Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine
and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes. 
 SECTION 8.4.
Repayment to the Issuers. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuers upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time. 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuers upon written request any money
held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after the date of payment of such principal and interest, and, thereafter all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money shall
cease, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors. 
 Any unclaimed funds held by the
Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be held uninvested and without any liability for interest. 

  
 49 












 SECTION 8.5. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Issuers shall pay and shall
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations other than any such tax, fee or other charge
which by law is for the account of the Holders of the defeased Notes; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to charge any such tax, fee or other charge to such Holder’s account. 

SECTION 8.6. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance
with this Article VIII 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 Issuers’ obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance
with this Article VIII; provided, however, that (a) if the Issuers have made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent and (b) unless otherwise required by any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall return all such money and U.S. Government Obligations to the Issuers promptly after receiving a written request therefor at any time, if such reinstatement of the Issuers’ obligations has occurred
and continues to be in effect. 
 ARTICLE IX

(xi) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or any Guarantee to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the

(xii) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes; provided,
however, that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and
adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; and 
 (xiii) to make any change if the change does not adversely affect the
interests of any Noteholder. 
 After an amendment under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail or electronically
deliver or cause to be mailed or electronically delivered to Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Noteholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment
under this Section 9.1. 
 SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders. The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this
Indenture or the Notes without notice to any Noteholder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange

Section 9.2.

any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.2. 
 SECTION 9.3. [Reserved]

 SECTION 9.4. Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment, supplement or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind
the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. After an amendment or waiver becomes
effective with respect to the Notes, it shall bind every Noteholder. 
 The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date
for the purpose of determining the Noteholders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately
preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Noteholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be
Holders after such record date. 
 SECTION 9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the
Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Issuers shall provide in writing to the Trustee an appropriate notation to be placed on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if
the Issuers or the Trustee so determine, the Issuers in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect
the validity of such amendment. 

  
 52 












 SECTION 9.6. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any
amendment authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall
receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuers and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such
amendment complies with the provisions of this Article IX and that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers in accordance with its terms subject to customary exceptions. 

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental Indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Noteholder theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

 Guarantees 

SECTION 10.1. Guarantees. Each of the Guarantors hereby fully unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, as
primary obligor and not merely as surety, to each Holder of the Notes and to the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes (the “Note Obligations”) to the Trustee and to the Holders. Each of the Guarantors further agrees (to the extent permitted by law)
that the Note Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Note Obligation. 

Each of the Guarantors waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuers of any of the Note Obligations and also
waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each of the Guarantors waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Note Obligations. The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuers or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise, (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof, (c) any rescission,
waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Note Obligations or any of them or (e) any
change in the ownership of the Company. 
 Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of
payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Note Obligations. 

  
 53 












 The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Note Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Note Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each of the Guarantors herein shall not be
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default,
failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Note Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of each of the
Guarantors or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantors as a matter of law or equity. 
 Each of the Guarantors further
agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Note Obligations is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of an Issuer or otherwise. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing
and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any of the Guarantors by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers to pay any of the Note Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each of the Guarantors hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of
(i) the unpaid amount of such Note Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law). 

Each of the Guarantors further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of
the Note Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Note
Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Note Obligations, such Note Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the
purposes of this Guarantee. 
 Each of the Guarantors also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.1. 
 SECTION
10.2. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuers or any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Note Obligations, nor shall any of the Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuers or any other Guarantor in respect
of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, 

  
 54 












 
until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Issuers on account of the Note Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any of the Guarantors on account of such
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Note Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall,
forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Note Obligations. 

SECTION 10.3. Consideration. Each of the Guarantors has received, or shall receive, direct or indirect benefits from the making of its
Guarantee. 
 SECTION 10.4. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act
or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the
maximum amount as 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 X, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or
fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount
equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 

SECTION 10.5. Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees
that this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture, as the case may be) shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers, managers, its trustee, its managing member or its general partner, as the case may be. 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 
 If an Officer, manager, trustee, managing member or
general partner of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture, as the case may be) no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Notes, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth
in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 

  
 55 












 SECTION 10.6. Release of Guarantors. A Guarantor will be automatically released from
all its obligations under the Notes, this Indenture and its Guarantee, and its Guarantee will automatically terminate (1) upon the release or discharge of the Guarantee or direct obligations of such Guarantor as a guarantor under the Credit
Agreement or such other instrument that required the Guarantee in accordance with Section 10.7, (2) upon the exercise of the legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option pursuant to Section 8.1(b), or upon satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture pursuant Section 8.1(a), (3) upon the consummation of any sale, disposition or other transfer of any or all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) or other transaction
such that after giving effect to such sale, disposition or other transaction such Guarantor is no longer a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company or (4) in the event that (A) the Notes are rated Investment Grade by either of the Rating
Agencies, (B) no default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (C) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate certifying the satisfaction of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B).
Upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall evidence such release by a supplemental indenture or other instrument which may be executed by the Trustee without the consent of any Holder. 

SECTION 10.7. Additional Note Guarantees. After the Issue Date, the Company shall cause (a) each wholly owned Restricted
Subsidiary that is not then a Guarantor that guarantees the Credit Agreement and (b) each wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary that is not then a Guarantor that guarantees any other Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries that (i) individually has a principal amount greater than $10,000,000 or (ii) when aggregated with all other such Indebtedness guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary, has an aggregate principal amount greater than
$30,000,000, to execute and deliver to the Trustee within 30 days of providing a guarantee described in clause (a) or (b) above, a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and shall provide a
Guarantee of the Note Obligations.

 Appendix - 2 












 
Distribution Compliance Period, the Issuers shall cause the beneficial interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Permanent Regulation S
Global Note pursuant to applicable procedures of the Depository. The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an issuer order for the authentication of the Permanent Regulation S Global Note, a Permanent Regulation S Global Note, an Offices’
Certificate, and an Opinion of Counsel. Simultaneously with the authentication of the Permanent Regulation S Global Note, the Trustee will cancel the Temporary Regulation S Global Note. 

Beneficial interests in Regulation S Global Notes may be exchanged for interests in Rule 144A Global Notes if (1) such exchange
occurs in connection with a transfer of Notes in compliance with Rule 144A and (2) the transferor of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuers) to the effect that the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note is being transferred to a Person (a) who the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB, (b) purchasing for its
own account or the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, and (c) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the States of the United States and other jurisdictions. 

Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a
Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuers and the
Trustee) to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if applicable). 

The Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note are collectively referred to herein as the “Global Notes”. The
aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depository or its nominee as hereinafter provided. 

(b) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(b) shall apply only to a Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.

 The Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(b), authenticate and deliver initially one or
more Global Notes that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Note or Global Notes or the nominee of such Depository and (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such
Depository’s instructions or held by the Trustee as custodian for the Depository. 
 Members of, or participants in, the Depository
(“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depository or under such Global Note, and the Issuers, the Trustee
and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any
agent of the Issuers or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such
Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. 

  
 Appendix - 3 












 (c) Definitive Notes. Except as provided in this Section 2.1, Section 2.3
or Section 2.4, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Notes. 

2.2 Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver: (1) on the Issue Date, an aggregate principal amount of
$800,000,000 5.625% Senior Notes due 2026 and (2) any Additional Notes for an original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in the written order of the Issuers pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Indenture, in each case upon a
written order of the Issuers signed by an Officer of each Issuer, such order to specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated. 

2.3 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request: 

(x) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or 

(y) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations, 

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided,
however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange: 
 (i) shall be duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuers and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and 

(ii) if such Definitive Notes are required to bear a restricted securities legend, they are being transferred or exchanged
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as
applicable: 
 (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 an Issuer, a certification to that effect; or 

  
 Appendix - 4 












 (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 of the Note) and (ii) if the Issuers so request, 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). 
 (b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive
Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or a Regulation S Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied
by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with: 
 (i) certification, in the form
set forth on the reverse of the Note, that such Definitive Note is either (A) being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) being transferred after expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period by a Person who initially
purchased such Note in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Note in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note; and 

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Securities Custodian to make, an adjustment on its
books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(A)) or Regulation S Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(B)) to reflect an increase in the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository account to be credited with such increase, 

then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and
procedures existing between the Depository and the Securities Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, to be increased by the aggregate principal amount
of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, equal to the
principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Notes or Regulation S Global Notes, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Issuers in the
form of an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuers, a new Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount. 

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.

of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the
Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Note. The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions instruct the Depository
to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Registrar shall have no responsibilities to seek, and need not receive, any certificates, opinions or other documentation in connection with the transfer of a beneficial interest within a single Global Note. 

(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another
Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so
transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred. 

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), 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. 
 (iv) In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive
Notes pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Appendix, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth
on the reverse of the Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be
adopted by the Issuers. 
 (v) Prior to any exchange of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note for a
beneficial interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note, the holder of the Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall provide the Depository with a certificate certifying that the beneficial owner of the interest in the Temporary Regulation S
Global Note is either a non-U.S. Person or a U.S. Person that has purchased such interest in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

 12. Defeasance 

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, an Issuer or any Guarantor at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations
under the Notes and the Indenture if such Issuer or Guarantor deposits with the Trustee U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case
may be. 
 13. Amendment, Waiver 

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for Notes) and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision of the Indenture or the
Notes may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. However, the Indenture requires the consent of each Noteholder that would be affected for certain specified amendments or
modifications of the Indenture and the Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without notice to or the consent of any Noteholder, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to evidence the succession of another Person to an Issuer or any Guarantor and the assumption by any such Person of the obligations of such Issuer or such Guarantor in accordance with Article V of the
Indenture, or to add any additional Events of Default, or to add to the covenants of the Issuers or any Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuers or any Guarantor, or to add one
or more guarantees for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, or to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Notes in accordance with the Indenture, or to add collateral security with respect to the Notes or any Guarantee,
or to appoint a successor or separate Trustee or other agent, or to provide for the issuance of any Additional Notes, or to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depository, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in
place of certificated Notes in accordance with the Indenture, or to conform the text of the Indenture, this Note or any Guarantee to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent such
provision in such “Description of Notes” was intended to set forth, verbatim or in substance, a provision of the Indenture, this Note or the Guarantees, or to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer
and legending of the Notes, or to make any change if the change does not adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder. 
 14. Defaults and
Remedies 
 Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Notes;
(ii) default in payment of principal, or premium, if any, on the Notes when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption or otherwise; (iii) failure by an Issuer or any Guarantor to comply with any other agreement in the Indenture
or the Notes, subject to notice and lapse of time; (iv) failure to make any 

  
 8 












 
payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, or upon acceleration in respect of Indebtedness of an Issuer or any Guarantor in an amount in excess of $75,000,000, subject to certain
conditions; (v) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving an Issuer; and (vii) the Guarantee of any Guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void by any responsible officer of such Guarantor, other
than any such cessation, denial or disaffirmation in connection with the termination of such Guarantee pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture. 

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 may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving an Issuer are Events of Default which will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of
Default. 
 Noteholders 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 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee
may withhold from Noteholders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it in good faith determines that withholding notice is not opposed to
their interest. 
  

	15.	 Trustee Dealings with the Issuers 



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

 

	16.	 No Recourse Against Others 



A director, officer, employee or stockholder (other than the Issuers), as such, of the Issuers shall not have any liability for any obligations
of the Issuers under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Noteholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part
of the consideration for the issue of the Notes. 
  

	17.	 Authentication
