“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, with respect to any Person for any period consisting of such Person and its
Restricted Subsidiaries’ most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available, the ratio of EBITDA of such Person for such period to the Fixed Charges of such Person for such period. In the event that
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees or redeems any Indebtedness or issues or repays Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is
being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such
incurrence, assumption, guarantee or repayment of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. For purposes of making the
computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) that have been made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary during the four-quarter reference period or

 -12- 








 
and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a
Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation that would have required adjustment
pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or discontinued operation had occurred at
the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an acquisition or other Investment and the amount of income or earnings relating thereto, the pro forma calculations
shall be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Company and shall comply with the requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission, except that such pro forma calculations may
include operating expense reductions for such period resulting from the acquisition which is being given pro forma effect that have been realized or for which the steps necessary for realization have been taken or are reasonably expected to be taken
within six months following any such acquisition, including, but not limited to, the execution or termination of any contracts, the termination of any personnel or the closing (or approval by the Board of Directors of the Company of any closing) of
any facility, as applicable, provided that, in either case, such adjustments are set forth in an Officer’s Certificate signed by the Company’s chief financial officer and another Officer which states (i) the amount of such
adjustment or adjustments, (ii) that such adjustment or adjustments are based on the reasonable good faith beliefs of the Officers executing such Officer’s Certificate at the time of such execution and (iii) that any related
incurrence of Indebtedness is permitted pursuant to this Indenture. 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
Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably
determined by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any
Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an
interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the
Company may designate. 
 “Fixed Charges” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum of, without
duplication: 
 (1) Consolidated Interest Expense of such Person for such period,

Section 2.01. Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Original Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under
this Indenture on the Issue Date is $250,000,000. 
 The Issuers may from time to time after the Issue Date issue Additional
Notes under this Indenture in an unlimited principal amount, so long as (i) the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such Additional Notes is at such time permitted by Section 4.03 and (ii) such Additional Notes are issued in
compliance with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture. With respect to any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of,
other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 3.03(c), 4.06(f), 4.08(c) or the Appendix), there shall be (a) established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the

 (2) the issue price and issuance date of such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest on such
Additional Notes shall accrue; 
 (3) if applicable, that such Additional Notes shall be issuable in whole or in

or B hereto and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Section 2.2 of the Appendix in which any such Global Notes may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional Notes registered, or any transfer of such Global
Notes in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the depositary for such Global Notes or a nominee thereof; and 

(4) if applicable, that such Additional Notes that are not Transfer Restricted Notes shall not be issued in the form of
Initial Notes as set forth in Exhibit A, but shall be issued in the form of Exchange Notes as set forth in Exhibit B. 
 If any
of the terms of any Additional Notes are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and
delivered to the Trustee at 
  

 -35- 








 
or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or the indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Notes. 

Section 2.02. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes are set forth in the Appendix,
which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. (i) The Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional Notes (if issued as Transfer Restricted Notes) and the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. (i) The Exchange Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication and (ii) any Additional Notes issued other than as Transfer Restricted Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, 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 or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such
notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 Section 2.03. Execution and Authentication. The Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Issuers signed by one Officer (a) Original Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000, (b) subject to the terms of
this Indenture, Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein and (c) the Exchange Notes for issue in a Registered Exchange Offer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement
for a like principal amount of Initial Notes exchanged pursuant thereto or otherwise pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which
the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Exchange Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Appendix, any issuance of Additional Notes after the Issue Date
shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 One Officer shall sign
the Notes for the Issuers by manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an 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 shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate the Notes. Any such
appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuers. 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 
  

 -36- 








 
authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 

The Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into a letter of representations with the Depository in the form provided by the Issuers and to
act in accordance with such letter. 
 Section 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent. (a) The Issuers shall maintain
(i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) 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 co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any
co-registrars. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as (i) Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Notes and (ii) the Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. The Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency
agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. 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 any 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 7.07. The Company or any of its
Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 (b) The Issuers may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written
notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate
agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the
appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying
Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08. 
 Section 2.05. Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Note, the Company shall deposit with each Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for
the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent 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, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 

 

 -37- 








 Section 2.06. Holder 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 Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five
(5) Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders. 

Section 2.07. 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 and in compliance with the Appendix. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements
therefor are met. When Notes are presented to the 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. To permit
registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental
charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section. The Issuers shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be
redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Notes, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee, each Paying Agent and
the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuers, any Guarantor, the Trustee, a Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial
interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a
beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 
 All Notes issued upon any transfer
or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

Section 2.08. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims 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, such that the Holder
(a) satisfies the Company or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such
request to the Company or the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a 

 

 -38- 








 
“protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity
bond sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their
expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable,
the Issuers in their discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers. 

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes. 
 Section 2.09. Outstanding
Notes. (a) Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for 

(1) Notes cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to it for cancellation; 

(2) any Note which has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 unless and until the Trustee and the Company receive
proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser; and 
 (3) on or after the
maturity date or any redemption date or date for purchase of the Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, those Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date for which the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Company or an Affiliate
of the Company) holds money sufficient to pay all amounts then due. 
 (b) A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the
Issuers or one of their Affiliates holds the Note; provided that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action hereunder, Notes owned by the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, (it being understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon any such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes which the Trustee knows to be so owned will be so disregarded). 

(c) If a 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 and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) will cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such
Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substan-

 

 -39- 








 
tially 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 Definitive Notes and make them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer, without charge to the Holder. Until such exchange, temporary Notes
shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Notes. 
 Section 2.11. Cancellation. The
Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else
shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures or deliver canceled Notes to the Issuers pursuant to written direction
by an Officer. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes they have redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture. 
 Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Dollar Notes, the
Issuers shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful), in any lawful manner. The Issuers may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special
record date. The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each affected Holder a notice that states the
special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs,
etc. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption
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 that reliance
may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers shall advise the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers,
ISINs and “Common Code” numbers. 
 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION 

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption. The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 1, 2014, at
the option of the Issuers upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the

Article 3, 40 to 60 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee). The Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed in compliance with the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes
are listed, or if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate, in denominations of $2,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof. The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be
void and of no effect. 
 (b) Notice of redemption must be sent by the Issuers or at the Issuers’ request, by the Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, to Holders whose Notes are to be redeemed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if
the notice is issued in connection with Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 of this Indenture. The notice of redemption will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will include or state the following: 

(i) the redemption date; 
  

 -41- 








 (ii) the redemption price including the portion thereof representing any
accrued interest or Additional Interest, if any; 
 (iii) the names and addresses of the Paying Agents where
Notes are to be surrendered; 
 (iv) notes called for redemption must be surrendered to a Paying Agent in order
to collect the redemption price and any accrued interest or Additional Interest; 
 (v) on the redemption date
the redemption price will become due and payable on Notes called for redemption and interest on Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

(vi) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the
particular Notes to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption; 

(vii) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed;

 (viii) if any Note is to be redeemed in part, on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Note,
new Notes equal in principal amount to the unredeemed part will be issued; 
 (ix) the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or
“Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed; and 
 (x) that no representation is
made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number or CINS number, or “common number” listed in such notice or printed on the Notes and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

 (c) Once notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 3.03 is mailed to the Holders, Notes called for redemption become
due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to any Paying Agent, the Issuers shall redeem such Notes at the redemption price. Commencing on the redemption date, Notes redeemed will cease to
accrue interest; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the interest payment date, the accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall be payable to the Holder of the
redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date. 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. Upon surrender of any Note redeemed in part, the holder will
receive a new note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note. 
 (d) Any notice of any
redemption may be given prior to the redemption thereof. Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering or in connection with a transaction (or series of related transactions) that constitutes a Change of Control may be given prior to the
redemption 
  

 -42- 








 
thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related Equity
Offering or Change of Control, as the case may be. 
 Section 3.04. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary is a Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on
all Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuers to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to
accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuers has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes to be redeemed, unless a Paying Agent is
prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 4 

COVENANTS 

Section 4.01. Payment of Notes. (a) The Issuers agree to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the
manner provided in the Notes and this Indenture. Not later than 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the due date of any principal of or interest on any Notes, or any redemption or purchase price of the Notes, the Issuers will deposit with the Trustee
(or Paying Agent) money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such amounts; provided that if the Issuers are acting as Paying Agent, they will, on or before each due date, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit
of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such amounts until paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture. In each case the Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee of their compliance with this paragraph. An
installment of principal or interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Issuers) holds on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment. If the Issuers act as Paying Agent,
an installment of principal or interest will be considered paid on the due date only if paid to the Holders. 
 (b) 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 borne by the Notes to the extent lawful. 

Section 4.02. Reports and Other Information. Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the
Company shall either file with the Commission or furnish to the Holders of Notes, within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, or, in the case of annual financial information, within 90 days
after the end of each fiscal year, all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, respectively, if the Company were required to file such Forms,
including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s certified
independent accountants. 
  

 -43- 








 In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the Company shall file a copy
of all of the information and reports referred to above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified above (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and shall make such information available to securities
analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Company has agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it shall furnish to the Holders of such Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their
request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 So long as:

 (i) any parent entity of the Company is a Guarantor (there being no obligation of any parent entity to do so),
holds no material assets other than cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock of the Company (and performs the related incidental activities associated with such ownership), 

(ii) such parent entity complies with the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission (or
any successor provision), and 
 (iii) the rules and regulations of the Commission permit the Company and such
parent entity to report at such parent entity’s level on a consolidated basis, 
 the reports, information and other documents required to
be filed and furnished to Holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.02 may, at the option of the Company, be filed by and be those of such parent entity rather than the Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements described in this Section 4.02 shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement
of the Registered Exchange Offer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated thereby by the filing with the Commission of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and/or Shelf
Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the Securities Act. 

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of
such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuers’ compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled
to rely exclusively (subject to Article 7 hereof) on Officer’s Certificates). 
 Section 4.03. Limitation on Incurrence
of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly
liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, “incur”), with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock;
provided, however, that the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and any Restricted Subsidiary may issue Preferred Stock if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most
recently 
  

 -44- 








 
ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Preferred Stock is
issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case
may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. 
 (b) The
limitations set forth in Section 4.03(a) shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 

(i) Indebtedness under Credit Facilities together with the incurrence of the guarantees thereunder and the issuance and
creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof), up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,200
million outstanding at any one time less the amount of all mandatory principal payments of term loans and permanent reductions in the revolving credit portion of the Credit Facilities actually made by the borrower thereunder with Net Proceeds from
Asset Sales; 
 (ii) Existing Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness described in clause (i));

Subsidiary to finance the purchase, lease or improvement of property (real or personal) or equipment that is used or useful in a Permitted Business (whether through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets)
in an aggregate principal amount that, when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (iii), does not exceed 7.5% of Total Assets; 

(iv) Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary constituting reimbursement obligations with respect
to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including without limitation letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability
insurance or self-insurance or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement-type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims; 

(v) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification,
adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any
portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet (other than by application of Accounting Standards
Codification 460, “Guarantees” or as a result of an amendment to an obligation in existence on the Issue Date) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not
otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (v));

 (vi) Indebtedness of the Company owed to and held by any Restricted
Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owed to and held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event that
results in any Restricted Subsidiary that is owed and holds such Indebtedness ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case,
to constitute the incurrence of such Indebtedness by the issuer thereof not permitted under this clause (vi)(A) and (B) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness owing to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a
Guarantor, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations of the Company with respect to the Notes or of such Guarantor with respect to its Guarantee; 

(vii) shares of Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;
provided that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any Restricted Subsidiary that holds such Preferred Stock ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any
such shares of Preferred Stock (except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed in each case to be an issuance of such shares of Preferred Stock not permitted under this clause (vii); 

(viii) Hedging Obligations of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (excluding Hedging Obligations entered into for
speculative purposes); 
 (ix) obligations in respect of performance, bid, appeal and surety bonds and

clause (x), does not at any one time outstanding exceed $150.0 million (it being understood that any Indebtedness or Preferred Stock incurred pursuant to this clause (x) shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this
clause (x) but shall be deemed incurred for the purposes of the first paragraph of this covenant from and after the first date on which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock under the
first paragraph of this covenant without reliance on this clause (x)); 
 (xi) any guarantee by the Company or a
Guarantor of Indebtedness or other obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Indenture; 

(xii) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock that serves to refund
or refinance any Indebtedness incurred as

including additional Indebtedness incurred to pay premiums, defeasance costs and fees in connection therewith (the “Refinancing Indebtedness”) prior to its respective maturity; provided, however, that such Refinancing
Indebtedness (A) has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time such Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred which is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Indebtedness being refunded or refinanced, (B) to
the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances Indebtedness subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes or a Guarantee thereof, such Refinancing Indebtedness is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes or a Guarantee thereof at least to
the same extent as the Indebtedness being refinanced or refunded, (C) shall not include Indebtedness or Preferred Stock of a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor that refinances Indebtedness or Preferred Stock of the Company or a Guarantor,
(D) shall not be in a principal amount in excess of the principal amount of, premium, if any, defeasance costs, accrued interest on, and related fees and expenses of, the Indebtedness being refunded or refinanced and (E) shall not have a
stated maturity date prior to the Stated Maturity of the Indebtedness being refunded or refinanced; provided, further, that subclauses (A), (B) and (E) will not apply to any refunding or refinancing of any Indebtedness that
is secured by a Lien; 
 (xiii) Indebtedness or Preferred Stock of Persons that are acquired by the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock is not incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such
acquisition or merger; and provided, further, that after giving effect to such acquisition or merger, either (A) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.03(a) or (B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be equal to or greater than immediately prior to such acquisition; 

(xiv) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument
drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Indebtedness, other than credit or purchase cards, is extinguished within five business days of its incurrence; 

(xv) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company supported by a letter of credit issued
pursuant to a Credit Agreement in a principal amount not in excess of the stated amount of such letter of credit; 

(xvi) Contribution Indebtedness; 

(xvii) Indebtedness consisting of the financing of insurance premiums; 

(xviii) Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of
Indebtedness incurred under this clause (xviii) which, when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (xviii), does not exceed $75.0 million; 

 

 -47- 








 (xix) Indebtedness incurred on behalf of or representing Guarantees of
Indebtedness of joint ventures not in excess of $25.0 million at any time outstanding;

and 
 (xxi) all premium (if any), interest (including post-petition interest), fees, expenses, charges and
additional or contingent interest on obligations described in paragraphs (i) through (xx) above. 
 (c) For purposes
of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xxi) above, or is entitled
to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), the Company will be permitted to classify and later reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03, and such item of Indebtedness will be treated as
having been incurred pursuant to only one of such categories. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes
of this Section 4.03. Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement outstanding on November 24, 2009 will be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by Section 4.03(b)(i). 

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S.
dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first
committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such
refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. 
 Section 4.04.
Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: 

(i) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests, including any dividend or distribution payable in connection with any merger or consolidation (other than (A) dividends or distributions by the Company payable in Equity Interests (other than
Disqualified Stock) of the Company or (B) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or
series of securities issued by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, the 
  

 -48- 








 
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of securities);

 (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Company or any
direct or indirect parent corporation of the Company, including in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company; 

(iii) make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case
prior to any scheduled repayment, scheduled sinking fund payment or scheduled maturity, any Indebtedness subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Notes (other than (x) Indebtedness permitted under Section 4.03 (b) (ii),
(vi) or (vii) or (y) the purchase, repurchase or other acquisition of Indebtedness subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Notes, purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or
final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase or acquisition); or 
 (iv)
make any Restricted Investment 
 (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively
referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment: 

(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence of such
Restricted Payment; and 
 (2) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro
forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set
forth in Section 4.03(a); and 
 (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all
other Restricted Payments made by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries after November 24, 2009 (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (i) but only to the extent such Restricted Payment would have otherwise been
excluded, (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii), (xiii), (xiv) and (xv) of Section 4.04(b)), is less than the sum, without duplication, of: 

(A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from January 1,
2005 to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, in the case such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, minus
100% of such deficit), plus

converted into Disqualified Stock), plus 
 (C) 100% of the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value,

merger, consolidation or transfer of assets (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to
clause (v) or (xiii) of Section 4.04(b) or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment). 
 (b) The
provisions of Section 4.04(a) shall not prohibit:

 (v) Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries having

do not consist of cash and/or marketable securities, not to exceed the greater of (i) 2.0% of Total Assets and (ii) $50.0 million at the time of such Investment (with the fair market value of each Investment being measured at the time made
and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value);

Company’s or its parent’s common stock registered on Form S-8 and other than any public sale constituting an Excluded Contribution;

fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Designated Preferred Stock, after giving effect to such issuance on the first day of such period (and the payment of dividends
or distributions) on a pro forma basis, the Company would have had a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.00;

 provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving
effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (v), (vii), (xiii) and (xv) of this Section 4.04(b), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the
asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant
will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 (c) The Company will not permit any Unrestricted
Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the second to last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all
outstanding investments by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent 
  

 -54- 








 
repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the second paragraph of the definition of “Investments.” Such
designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time under this covenant or the definition of Permitted Investments and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants under this Indenture or the Notes. 

Section 4.05. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to: 

(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(b) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or 

(c) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 however, the preceding restrictions shall not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 

(1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions (x) in effect on the date of this Indenture, including, without
limitation, pursuant to this Indenture, Existing Indebtedness or the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and related documentation, or (y) entered into thereafter so long as not materially more restrictive than those described in the preceding
clause (x); 
 (2) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that
impose restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (c) above on the property so acquired; 
 (3)
applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order; 
 (4) any agreement or other instrument of a Person
acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any
Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; 
 (5) contracts for the
sale of assets, including, without limitation, customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement that has been entered 

 

 -55- 








 
into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary; 

(6) secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Sections 4.03 and 4.11 that limits the right of
the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (8) other
Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries (i) that are Guarantors which Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred pursuant to an agreement entered into subsequent to the date of this Indenture in accordance with Section 4.03 or (ii) that
are Foreign Subsidiaries which Indebtedness is incurred subsequent to the date of this Indenture pursuant to Section 4.03; 

(9) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of
business; 
 (10) customary provisions contained in leases or licenses of intellectual property and other similar
agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (11) customary provisions restricting subletting
or assignment of any lease governing a leasehold interest; 
 (12) customary provisions restricting assignment of
any agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (13) any encumbrances or restrictions of the
type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to
in clauses (1), (2), (4) and (8) above, provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s
Board of Directors, no more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase,
supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing; 
 (14) any encumbrance or restriction that is in the good
faith judgment of the Company necessary or advisable to effect the transactions contemplated under a Qualified Securitization Financing; provided, however, that such restrictions apply only to such Securitization Subsidiary; or

 (15) any encumbrances and restrictions that are no more restrictive, in the aggregate, than those in effect of
the date of this Indenture.

 Section 4.06. Asset Sales. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 
 (1) the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary,
as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. 
 The amount of: 

(i) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in
the notes thereto) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed or satisfied by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Company and all Restricted
Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing, 
 (ii) any securities received by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the receipt thereof, and 

(iii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset
Sale having an aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the
greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 3.0% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time
received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), 
 shall be deemed to be cash solely for the purposes of this
Section 4.06(a)(2). 
 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company may apply
those Net Proceeds at its option to: 
 (i) permanently reduce Obligations under (x) the Senior Secured
Credit Agreement or other Obligations secured by a Lien, or (y) Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with the Notes or a Guarantee (provided that if the Company or a Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under such Indebtedness, the
Issuers will equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders of the Notes to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, the pro rata principal amount of Notes) or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, in each case other than
Indebted-
  

 -57- 








 
ness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (provided that in the case of any reduction of any revolving obligations, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall effect a
corresponding reduction of commitments with respect thereto); 
 (ii) make an investment in (A) any one or
more businesses; provided that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it
constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) capital expenditures or (C) other assets, in each of (A), (B) and (C), used or useful in a Permitted Business; and/or 

(iii) make an investment in or expenditures for (A) any one or more businesses; provided that such investment
in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and it results in the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) properties
or (C) assets that, in each of (A), (B) and (C), replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; 

provided that the 365-day period provided above to apply any portion of Net Proceeds in accordance with clause (ii) or (iii) above shall
be extended by an additional 180 days if by not later than the 365th day after receipt of such Net Proceeds the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has entered into a bona fide binding commitment with a Person other than an Affiliate
of the Company to make an investment of the type referred to in either such clause in the amount of such Net Proceeds. 
 When
the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds not applied or invested in accordance with the preceding paragraph (“Excess Proceeds”) exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuers will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of the Notes (an
“Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase on a pro rata basis the maximum principal amount of such Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. The Issuers shall commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that
Excess Proceeds exceed $20 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of Section 4.06(f), with a copy to the Trustee. 

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit
borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 If any Excess
Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of the Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer
exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Additionally, the Issuer may, at its option, make an Asset Sale Offer using proceeds from any Asset Sale at any time after the consummation
of such Asset Sale. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 
  

 -58- 








 (c) The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this
Indenture by virtue of such conflict. 
 (d) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sale Offer is
delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales pursuant to which
such Asset Sale Offer is being made and (iii) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(b). On such date, the Issuers shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or
a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as a Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds to be invested in Cash Equivalents, as directed in writing by the Issuer, and to be held for payment
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.06. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or
portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Issuers. The Trustee (or a Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the
purchase price. In the event that the Excess Proceeds delivered by the Issuers to the Trustee is greater than the purchase price of the Notes tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Issuers immediately after the expiration of the Offer
Period for application in accordance with Section 4.06. 
 (e) Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required
to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuers at the address specified in the notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the
Trustee or the Issuers receive not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Purchase Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered by the Holder for
purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. If at the end of the Offer Period more Notes are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Issuers are required to purchase, selection of such
Notes for purchase shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, or if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such
other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements); provided that no Notes of $1,000 or less shall be purchased in part. 

(f) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the
purchase date to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s registered address. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be
purchased. 
  

 -59- 








 (g) A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of any Note purchased in
part shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the purchase date, unless the Issuers default in payment of the purchase price, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof
purchased. 
 Section 4.07. Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement,
understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless: 

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

(ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such
Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members, if any, of the Board of Directors. 
 (b)
The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to the following: 
 (i) transactions between or among the
Company and/or any Restricted Subsidiary or any entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction; 

(ii) Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments (other than pursuant to clause (13) of the definition thereof)
permitted by Section 4.04; 
 (iii) the payment to Sponsors or any other Permitted Holder of annual
management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year not in excess of $5.0 million, plus reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith and unpaid amounts accrued for prior periods (but
after the date of this Indenture), and the execution of any management or monitoring agreement subject to the same limitations; 

(iv) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnities provided on behalf of, officers, directors,
employees or consultants of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or (to the extent such person renders services to the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries) any of the Company’s direct or indirect parent entities; 

(v) payments by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to the Sponsors and any of their Affiliates made for any
financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities, including, without 

 

 -60- 








 
limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; 

(vi) transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent
Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; 

(vii) payments or loans (or cancellations of loans) to employees or consultants of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary
or (to the extent such person renders services to the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries) any of the Company’s direct or indirect parent entities, which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company in good
faith and which are otherwise permitted under this Indenture; 
 (viii) payments made or performance under any
agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not less advantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the date of this
Indenture); 
 (ix) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
its obligations under the terms of, the Recapitalization Agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreements related thereto to which it is party and any similar agreement that it may enter into thereafter);
provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under any future amendment to the Recapitalization Agreement or under any similar agreement shall only
be permitted by this clause (ix) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous to Holders of Notes in any material respect; 

(x) the payment of all fees and expenses related to the initial offering of the Original Notes; 

(xi) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the
ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture that are fair to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company or the
senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 

(xii) if otherwise permitted hereunder, the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of any parent
entity to any Permitted Holder or of the Company to any parent entity or to any Permitted Holder;

(xvi) any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the
funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. 

Section 4.08. Change of Control. (a) Upon a Change of Control, each holder of Notes will have the right to require the Issuers to
repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer in accordance with the terms contemplated in this Section 4.08. In the Change of
Control Offer, the Issuers shall offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date
of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) (the “Change of Control Payment”). The Issuers will publicly announce the results of

each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating: 
 (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder
has the right to require the Issuers to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the right

Issuers consistent with this Section, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased. 
 (c) Holders electing to
have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuers at the address specified in the notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date. The

the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such 

 

 -62-

cancellation, and the Issuers shall pay the Change of Control Payment to the Holders entitled thereto. The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal
amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, the Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in
Section 4.08(b) applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 

(g) At the time the Issuers deliver Notes to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Issuers shall also deliver an
Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Issuers pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.08. A Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly
or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder. 
 (h) Prior to any Change of Control Offer,
the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Issuers to make such offer have been complied with. 

(i) The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Section 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations
in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section, the Issuers shall 
  

 -63- 








 
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue thereof. 

Section 4.09. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year
of the Company an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the Company they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default
that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company taking or propose to take with respect thereto. The Issuers also shall comply with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA.

 Section 4.10. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuers shall execute and deliver such
further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 

Section 4.11. Liens. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien that secures obligations under any Indebtedness on any asset or property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to
receive income therefrom, unless: 
 (i) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness subordinated to the Notes or
any such Guarantee, the Notes and any applicable Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or 

(ii) in all other cases, the Notes or the applicable Guarantee or Guarantees are equally and ratably secured. 

(b) Section 4.11(a) shall not apply to: 

(i) Liens securing the Notes and the related Guarantees; and 

(ii) Permitted Liens. 

Section 4.12. Maintenance of Office or Agency. (a) The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the
Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The
Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 11.02. 

(b) The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or re-

 

 -64- 








 
scission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers of their obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 (c) The Issuers hereby
designate the corporate trust office of the Trustee or its Agent, as such office or agency of the Issuers in accordance with Section 2.04. 

Section 4.13. Suspension of Covenants. (a) If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade
Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a
“Covenant Suspension Event”), Section 4.03 hereof, Section 4.04 hereof, Section 4.05 hereof, Section 4.06 hereof, Section 4.07 hereof, and clause (iv) of Section 5.01 hereof (collectively, the
“Suspended Covenants”) shall no longer be applicable to such Notes. 
 (b) In the event that the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time pursuant to Section 4.13(a) (any such period, a “Suspension Period”), and on any subsequent date (the
“Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies (1) withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating and/or (2) the Company or any of its Affiliates
enters into an agreement to effect a transaction and one or more of the Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, such transaction (alone or together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency
to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this
Indenture with respect to future events, including, without limitation, a proposed transaction described in clause (2) above. 

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

 (d) In the event of any reinstatement of the Suspended Covenants pursuant to Section 4.13(b), no action taken or omitted
to be taken by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to any Notes; provided that (1) with respect to Restricted
Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made shall be calculated as though Section 4.04 hereof had been in effect prior to, but not during the Suspension Period, and (2) all Indebtedness incurred, or
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.03(b) hereof. Notwithstanding the forgoing, no Subsidiaries of the Company
may be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period. 
 (e) The Company shall deliver promptly to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying it of any Covenant Suspension Event or facts or events that would require the reinstatement of Suspended Covenants under this Section 4.13. 

 

 -65- 








 Section 4.14. Payment for Consent. The Company will not, and will not permit any of
its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or
the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if: 

(a) the Issuers default in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or
premium, if any, on the Notes; 
 (b) the Issuers default in the payment when due of interest, if any, on or with
respect to the Notes and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (c) an Issuer or a Guarantor defaults
in the performance of, or breaches, any covenant, warranty or other agreement contained in this Indenture (other than a default in the performance or breach of a covenant, warranty or agreement which is specifically dealt with in clauses (a) or
(b) above) and such default or breach continues for a period of 60 days after the notice specified below; 

(d) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary defaults under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is
issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness owed to the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the date of this Indenture, if (A) such default either (1) results from the failure to pay any such Indebtedness at its stated final
maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or (2) relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such
Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity and (B) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at
stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $35.0 million or more at any one time outstanding; 

 

 -68- 








 (e) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay final judgments
(other than any judgments covered by insurance policies issued by reputable and creditworthy insurance companies) aggregating in excess of $35.0 million, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60
days after such judgment becomes final, and an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed; 

(f) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law; 

(i) commences a voluntary case; 

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

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

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws
relating to insolvency; 
 (g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy
Law that: 
 (i) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

 (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its
property; 
 (iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; or

 (iv) or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in
effect for 60 days; or 
 (h) any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary fails to be in full force and effect
(except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days. 

The foregoing shall 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. 
  

 -69- 








 Section 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in clauses (f) and (g) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued
interest on such Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” (the “Acceleration Notice”), and the
same shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clauses (f) and (g) above with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if
any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding 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 holder of the Notes. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding may rescind an acceleration and its consequences by notice to the Trustee if: 

(i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree; 

(ii) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become
due solely because of acceleration; 
 (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on
overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; 

(iv) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses,
disbursements and advances; and 
 (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type
described in clauses (f) and (g) of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive any existing Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, and
its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes. 
 In the event of any Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(d), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the
Holders of the Notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been
discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it
being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events. 

 

 -70- 








 Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any
other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Notes are not
then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the
payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under
Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but
no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 
 Section 6.05. Control by
Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that 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. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee
shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. (a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest
when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (i) the Holder
gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (ii) the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (iii)
such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; 
  

 -71- 








 (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 principal
amount of the Notes outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 

(b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority
over another Holder. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of 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
6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers or any
other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in
Section 7.07. 
 Section 6.09. 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 reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such
other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Guarantor, their creditors or their property, shall be entitled to participate as a
member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters 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 7.07. 

Section 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or
property in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 

SECOND: to the Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and 
  

 -72- 








 THIRD: to the Issuers. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such
record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Issuers a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 

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

Section 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Issuers nor any Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall
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 and each Guarantor (to the extent that it 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.

knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Section 6.01(c), (d), (e) or (h) or of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee
shall have received notice thereof in accordance with Section 11.02 hereof from the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Holder. 

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment
of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to the Holders. As promptly as practicable after each May 15, beginning with the May 15
following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to September 30 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such September 30 that complies with Section 313(a) of the TIA if and to the
extent required thereby. The Trustee shall also comply with Section 313(b) of the TIA. 
 A copy of each report at the time
of its mailing to the Holders shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Issuers agree to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any
delisting thereof. 
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuers shall pay to the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services as agreed upon from time to time in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee upon
request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuers and each Guarantor, jointly and severally shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or Guarantee 

 

 -76- 








 
against the Issuers or a Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Guarantor, any Holder or any
other Person). The Trustee shall notify the Issuers of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuers shall not relieve the
Issuers or any Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuers’ expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have
separate counsel and the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified
parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense. The Issuers need not
reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 

Notwithstanding Section 4.11 hereof, to secure the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, the
Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. 

The Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of
this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs
expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law. 

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Notes outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. 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. 

(b) If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Issuers or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding 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. 
  

 -77- 








 (c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor
Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall upon payment of its charges hereunder promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in
Section 7.07. 
 (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is
removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% 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. 

(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in
Section 310(b) of the TIA, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall
be the successor Trustee. 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the
Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver
such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the
Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the
TIA. 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 TIA, subject to its right to apply for
a stay of its duty to resign under the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA any series of securities issued
under this Indenture and any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuers are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in
Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met. 
  

 -78- 








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

 ARTICLE 8 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 

Section 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Notes. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except
as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes: 

(a) when either: 

(i) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes pursuant to Section 2.08 which have been
replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Issuers or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation; or 
 (ii) all of the Notes (a) have become due and payable, (b) will become due and
payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (c) if redeemable at the option of the Issuer, 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 Issuer, and the Issuers have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government
Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 

(b) the Issuers and/or the Guarantors have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under this Indenture;

 (c) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the

 (d) the Company has delivered
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 

 

 -79- 








 Section 8.02. Defeasance. (a) The Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect
to have all of their obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture (“Legal Defeasance”) except for: 

(i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes issued thereunder to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or
interest or premium on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below; 
 (ii) the
Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Notes issued thereunder concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security
payments held in trust; 
 (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the
Issuers’ obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (iv) this Section 8.02(a). 

(b) The Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have their obligations released with respect to Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04,
4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11, 4.12 and the operation of Article 5 and Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company
only) and 6.01(h) of this Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. The Issuers may exercise their Legal
Defeasance option notwithstanding their prior exercise of their Covenant Defeasance option. In the event the Issuers terminate all of their obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to the Notes) by exercising their Legal
Defeasance option or their Covenant Defeasance option, the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations. 

If the Issuers exercise their Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default. If the Issuers exercise their Covenant Defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (with respect to Significant
Subsidiaries of the Company only) and 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only) or because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with Section 5.01. 

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 the Issuers terminate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the
Issuers’ obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 7.07, 7.08 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuers’ obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.06 and 8.07 shall survive
such satisfaction and discharge. 
  

 -80- 








 Section 8.03. Conditions to Defeasance. (a) The Issuers may exercise their Legal
Defeasance option or their Covenant Defeasance option only if: 
 (i) the Issuers have irrevocably deposited with
the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes issued thereunder, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be
sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes issued thereunder on the Stated Maturity or on
the redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 

(ii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal
income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the respective outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

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

(iv) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) or insofar as Events of Default (other than Events of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied
to such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) resulting from the borrowing of funds or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 

(v) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under any material agreement or instrument including, without limitation, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (vi) the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of preferring the holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuers or others; and

  

 -81- 








 (vii) the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance as contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with. 

(b) Before or after a deposit, the Issuers may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of such Notes at a future
date in accordance with Article 3. 
 Section 8.04. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or
Government Obligations (including proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the
payment of principal of and interest on the Notes so discharged or defeased. 
 Section 8.05. Repayment to Issuers. Each
of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuers upon request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article which, in the written opinion of nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if Government Obligations have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or
defeasance in accordance with this Article. 
 Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each 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, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general
creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 
 Section 8.06.
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 Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such
Government Obligations. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money
or Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 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 so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of or interest on, any such Notes because of the reinstatement of their
obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 

Section 9.01. Without Consent of the Holders. The Issuers and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes
without notice to or consent of any Holder: 
 (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 

(ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided, however, that
the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the code or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B); 

(iii) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to holders of Notes in the case of a merger or
consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to Article 5 hereof; 

(iv) to add any Guarantee of the Notes or to release the Parent Guarantee or any other Guarantee;

conferred upon the Issuers; 
 (vi) to comply with any requirement of the Commission in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 
 (vii) to make any change that would provide
additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any Holder; or 

(viii) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Notes or the Additional Notes, which shall have terms substantially
identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes, and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Initial Notes, as a single issue of securities. 

After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such
amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.01. 

Section 9.02. With Consent of the Holders. This Indenture or the Notes issued hereunder may be amended or supplemented with the
consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding issued under this Indenture (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for,
Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes issued hereunder may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes issued under this
Indenture (including, without limitation, 
  

 -83- 








 
consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, an amendment or
waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (i) reduce the principal amount of
Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (ii) reduce the principal of or change
the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than pursuant to Sections 4.06 or 4.08 hereof);

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

(v) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 

(vi) make any change to Section 6.04 or 6.07;

 (ix) modify or change any provision of this Indenture or the related definitions affecting ranking of the
Notes in a manner that materially adversely affects the Holders; or 
 (x) make any change to this
Section 9.02. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After
an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the
validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02. 
 Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. From the
date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every amendment, waiver or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 
  


 -84- 








 Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. (a) A consent to an
amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not
made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an
Officer’s Certificate from the Issuers certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the
(i) receipt by the Issuers or the Trustee of consents by the Holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto
containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuers and the Trustee. 

(b) The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their
consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date
(or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No
such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 
 Section 9.05. Notation on or
Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuers may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed
terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuers or the Trustee so determines, 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, supplement or waiver. 
 Section
9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it
does, the Trustee may but is not required to sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected
in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Issuers and the Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). 

Section 9.07. Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount. Except as provided in the proviso to the first sentence of
Section 9.02, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes

  

 -85- 








 
have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article 9. 

ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 

Section 10.01. Guarantees of the Notes. (a) The obligations of the Issuers pursuant to the Notes, including any repurchase
obligation resulting from a Change of Control, are hereby unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by the Parent Guarantor and each Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) of the Company
that guarantees the Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement (a “Senior Obligation Guarantor”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time any non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary (other than a
Foreign Subsidiary) that is a Senior Obligation Guarantor, but is not, pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, required to be a Guarantor (a “Non-Wholly Owned Senior Obligation Guarantor”) constitutes, either alone or
together with all other Non-Wholly Owned Senior Obligation Guarantors at such time (considered for this purpose as a single Subsidiary and determined on a combined or consolidated basis, as applicable), a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, then
the Company shall within 20 days cause one or more Non-Wholly Owned Senior Obligation Guarantors to become Guarantors in accordance with the provisions of this section such that, after giving effect to all such additional Guarantors, no Non-Wholly
Owned Senior Obligation Guarantor that is not a Guarantor, either alone or together with all other Non-Wholly Owned Senior Obligation Guarantors that are not Guarantors at such time (considered for this purpose as a single Subsidiary and determined
as provided above), shall constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence of the Guarantee by any
Restricted Subsidiary of the obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement that is, pursuant to the first paragraph of this section, required thereby to provide a Guarantee, the Company will cause each such Restricted
Subsidiary (other than a Securitization Subsidiary) to execute a Supplemental Indenture, satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee, pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will become a Guarantor. 

(c) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a
surety, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture
(including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on in respect of the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the
full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuers whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively
called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such
Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. 
  

 -86- 








 (d) Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuers
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by
(i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee 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; (ii) any extension or
renewal of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security
held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any Guarantor; (v) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in
the ownership of such Guarantor, except as provided in Section 10.02(b). 
 (e) Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to
which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Guarantors, if applicable, such that such Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be
entitled to have the assets of the Issuers first be used and depleted as payment of the Issuers’ or such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby
waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuers be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor. 

(f) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and
not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

(g) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 10.02 and 10.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject
to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, 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 Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee 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 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 any Guarantor or would otherwise
operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
 (h) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall
become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises 

 

 -87- 








 
to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal
amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuers to the Holders and the
Trustee. 
 (i) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the
maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due
and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 10.01. 
 (j) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 

(k) Upon request of the Trustee, each Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be
reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
 Section 10.02. Limitation on
Liability. (a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount (after giving effect to
all guarantees by it of senior indebtedness) that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture or the Guarantees, as they relate to such Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United
States Bankruptcy Code or other comparable provision of applicable law. 
 (b) A Guarantor shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations under its Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Article 10 if: 

(i) in the case of Guarantor that is a Restricted Subsidiary: 

(A) all its assets or Capital Stock is sold or transferred, in each case in a transaction in compliance with
Section 4.06 hereof; 
 (B) the Guarantor merges with or into, or consolidates with or amalgamates with, or
transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another Person in compliance with Article 5 hereof; or 
  

 -88- 








 (C) such Guarantor is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (ii) such Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a
Responsible Officer and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with; and 

(iii) such Guarantor is released from its guarantee (if any) of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. 

Section 10.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and
in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 

Section 10.04. Evidence of Guarantee. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor shall execute this
Indenture on the Issue Date or a Supplemental Indenture in accordance with Section 10.07, as applicable. 
 Section 10.05.
No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof
preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which
either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 
 Section 10.06. Modification. No
modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances. 
 Section 10.07. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors. (a) Each Subsidiary and other
Person which is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to this Article 10 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit C hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary or other Person shall become a
Guarantor under this Article 10 and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s
Certificate to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary or other Person and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or
transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a legal, valid and 

 

 -89- 








 
binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

STATE OF NEW YORK.

of America for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Notes, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Indenture shall affect any
right that any Holder may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Indenture or the Notes against the Issuers or any Guarantor or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(b) Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to plea or claim, to the fullest

Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Issuers or any Guarantor, as the case may be, in care of the Process Agent at the address specified above for the Process Agent, and each of the Issuers and the
Guarantors hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. Failure by the Process Agent to give notice to the Issuers or any Guarantor, as applicable, or failure of the Issuers or any Guarantor, as
applicable, to receive notice of such service of process shall not impair or affect the validity of such service on the Process Agent, the Issuers or any Guarantor, or of any judgment based thereon. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors covenants
and agrees that it shall take any and all reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to continue the designation of the Process Agent above in full force and effect, and to cause the Process
Agent to act as such. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors further covenants and agrees to maintain at all times an agent with offices in New York City to act as its Process Agent. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability to
serve any such writs, process or summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law. 
 Section 11.11. No Recourse
Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or holder of any equity interests in the Issuers or of any Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the
Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by any reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. 

Section 11.12. Successors. All agreements of the Issuers and the Guarantors in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind their
successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 
 Section 11.13. Multiple
Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. 

Section 11.14. Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections
of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 

Section 11.15. Indenture Controls. If and to the extent that any provision of the Notes limits, qualifies or conflicts with a
provision of this Indenture, such provision of this Indenture shall control. 
 Section 11.16. Severability. In case any
provision in this Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and such provision shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability. 
  

 -93- 








 Section 11.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE GUARANTORS AND THE
TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as

 (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

Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository account to be credited with such increase,

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. 
 (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 Article 2 of this Indenture or this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in
Section 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 4, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.2 (including the certification requirements set forth on the
reverse of the Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 
  

 Appendix A-6 








 
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 Issuer.

ownership interests in Temporary Regulation S Global Notes may only be sold, pledged or transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (i) to Issuers, (ii) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S

securities laws of any State of the United States. 
 (e) Legend.

Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof), in the case of Notes offered otherwise than in reliance on Regulation S, shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

THIS NOTE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE
SELLER OF THIS NOTE MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. 

THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUERS THAT (A) THIS NOTE MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) TO THE ISSUERS, (II) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF
RULE 144A, (III) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (IV) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE) OR
(V) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (V), IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH
SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE. 
  

 Appendix A-7

the foregoing, bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 THIS NOTE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A
TRANSACTION ORIGINALLY EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY U.S. PERSON EXCEPT

IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS
SUCH TRANSFER AGENT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS. 
 (ii) Upon
any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note (including any Transfer Restricted Note represented by a Global Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall permit the transferee thereof to exchange such Transfer
Restricted Note for a certificated Note that does not bear the legend set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Note, if the transferor thereof certifies in writing to the Registrar that such sale or
transfer was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note). 
 (f)
Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the Depository for
cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented
by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Notes Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, to reflect
such reduction. 
 (g) No Obligation of the Trustee. 

(i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the
Depository or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant,
member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (in-

cluding any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be
made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be
exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its members,
participants and any beneficial owners. 
 (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as
to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depository participants, members or beneficial
owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to
determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

A Global Note deposited with the Depository or with the Trustee as Notes Custodian for the Depository pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.2 hereof and (i) the Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository

appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 4 shall be executed, authenticated
and delivered only in denominations of US$2,000 principal amount or any integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the
Transfer Restricted Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 3(e) hereof, bear the applicable restricted securities legend and definitive note legend set forth in Exhibit B hereto. 

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof, the registered Holder of a Global Note shall be entitled to grant proxies and

 Appendix A-9 








 (d) In the event of the occurrence of one of the events specified in Section 4 hereof,
the Issuer shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons. In the event that the Definitive Notes are not issued to each such beneficial owner
promptly after the Registrar has received a request from the Holder of a Global Note to issue such Certificated Note, the Issuer expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Article 6 of the
Indenture, the right of any beneficial holder of Notes to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Note that represents such beneficial holder’s Notes as if such Certificated Notes had been issued. 

(e) By its acceptance of any Note bearing any Legend in Section 3(e), each Holder of such Note acknowledges the restrictions on
transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in such Legend in Section 3(e) and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture.

 (a) GRAHAM
PACKAGING COMPANY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), and GPC CAPITAL CORP. I (together with their respective successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the
“Issuers”) promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuers shall pay interest semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1,
20112. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from September 23,
20103 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and they shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent
lawful. 
 (b) Registration Rights Agreement. The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of a Registration
Rights Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2010, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers named therein.

the record date and on or before the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender the Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuers shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of
the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company, an Issuer or any successor depositary. The Issuers will make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium, if
any, and interest), at the office of each Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on
the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if
