therefrom are anticipated by the Issuer to be realized within twelve (12) months). 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 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio 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 Issuer 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 with 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 determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if
none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.

as in effect on the Issue Date. At any time after the Issue Date, the Issuer may elect to establish that GAAP shall mean the GAAP as in effect on or prior to the date of such election; provided, however, that any such election, once
made, shall be irrevocable. At any time after the Issue Date, the Issuer may elect to apply IFRS accounting principles in lieu of GAAP and, upon any such election, references herein to GAAP shall thereafter be construed to mean IFRS (except as
otherwise provided in this Indenture), including as to the ability of the Issuer to make an election pursuant to the previous sentence; provided that any such election, once made, shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that
any calculation or determination in this Indenture that requires the application of GAAP for periods that include fiscal quarters ended prior to the Issuer’s election to apply IFRS shall remain as previously calculated or determined in
accordance with GAAP; provided, further, that the Issuer may only make such election if it also elects to report any subsequent financial reports required to be made by the Issuer or Holdings, including pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and Section 3.10, in IFRS. The Issuer shall give notice of any such election made in accordance with this definition to the Trustee and the Holders.

standards, terms or measures used in a covenant under Article III as determined in good faith by the Issuer (an “Accounting Change”), then the Issuer may elect, as evidenced by a written notice of the Issuer to the Trustee,
that such standards, terms or measures shall be calculated as if such Accounting Change had not occurred.

 ARTICLE II 

THE NOTES 
 SECTION 2.1.
Form, Dating and Terms. 
 (a) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture
is unlimited. The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,354,663,000. In addition, the Issuer may issue Additional Notes from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
Furthermore, Notes may be authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer, exchange or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.6, 2.11, 2.13, 5.6 or 9.5, in
connection with an Asset Disposition Offer pursuant to Section 3.5 or in connection with a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 3.9. 

  
 48 







 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer may not issue any
Additional Notes, unless such issuance is in compliance with this Indenture, including Sections 3.2 and 3.6. 

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in (1) a Board Resolution and (2)(i) an Officer’s Certificate
and/or (ii) one or more indentures supplemental hereto, as applicable, the following information: 
 (A) the aggregate
principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (B) the issue
price and the issue date of such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest shall accrue; and 
 (C) whether
such Additional Notes shall be Restricted Notes. 
 In authenticating and delivering Additional Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate required by Section 13.4, an Opinion of Counsel as to the due authorization, execution, delivery,
validity and enforceability of such Additional Notes. 
 The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes shall be considered collectively as a
single class for all purposes of this Indenture; provided that Additional Notes will not be issued with the same CUSIP or ISIN, as applicable, as existing Notes unless such Additional Notes are fungible with such existing Notes for U.S.
federal income tax purposes and otherwise. Holders of the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes shall vote and consent together as one class on all matters to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent, and none of the Holders of the
Initial Notes or the Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent. 

If any of the terms of any Additional Notes are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Issuer, a copy of an
appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate and/or an indenture supplemental hereto, as
applicable, setting forth the terms of the Additional Notes. 
 (b) In connection with the Exchange Offers, the Initial Notes are being
offered and issued to (A) persons reasonably believed to be QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) certain Non-U.S. Persons in reliance on Regulation S. Any Additional Notes (if issued
as Restricted Notes) (the “Additional Restricted Notes”) will be resold initially only to (A) persons reasonably believed to be QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A and (B) Non-U.S.
Persons in reliance on Regulation S. Such Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes may thereafter be transferred to, among others, QIBs and purchasers in reliance on Regulation S, in each case, in accordance with the procedure
described herein. Additional Notes offered after the date hereof may be offered and sold by the Issuer from time to time pursuant to one or more purchase, underwriting or other agreements, as the case may be, in accordance with applicable law. 

Initial Notes offered and issued to QIBs and Additional Restricted Notes offered and sold to QIBs in the United States of America in reliance
on Rule 144A (the “Restricted Notes”), shall be issued in the form of a permanent global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this
Indenture, including appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) and (e) (the “Restricted Global Note”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Issuer and
authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Restricted Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate, if so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate.
The aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter provided. 

  
 49 







 Initial Notes offered and issued to QIBs and any Additional Restricted Notes offered and sold
outside the United States of America (the “Regulation S Notes”) in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued in the form of a permanent global Note substantially in the form of
Exhibit A including appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) and (e) (the “Regulation S Global Note” and, together with the Restricted Global
Note, the “Global Notes”). Each Regulation S Global Note shall be deposited upon issuance with, or on behalf of, the Trustee as custodian for DTC in the manner described in this Article II for credit
to the respective accounts of the purchasers (or to such other accounts as they may direct), including, but not limited to, accounts at Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme
(“Clearstream”). Through and including the 40th day after the Issue Date (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be held
only through Euroclear and Clearstream (in each case, as indirect participants in DTC), unless transferred to a person that takes delivery through a Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer and certification requirements described
herein. 
 The Regulation S Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate, if so required by DTC’s rules regarding
the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as
custodian for DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter provided. 
 The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be
payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent designated by the Issuer and maintained for such purpose (which shall initially be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose), or at such other office or agency of the Issuer as may be
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3; provided, however, that, at the option of the Paying Agent, each installment of interest may be paid by (i) check mailed to addresses of the Persons
entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Notes Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph. Payments in respect of Notes
represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC. Payments in respect of Notes represented by Definitive Notes (including
principal, premium, if any, and interest) held by a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by Definitive Notes will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the
United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the relevant due date for
payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 
 The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required
by law, stock exchange rule or usage, in addition to those set forth on Exhibit A and in Section 2.1(d) and (e). The Issuer shall approve any notation, endorsement or legend on the Notes.
Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by
their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to be bound by such terms. 
 (c) Denominations. The Notes shall be
in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (d) Restrictive Legends. Unless and until
(i) an Initial Note or an Additional Note issued as a Restricted Note is sold under an effective registration statement, or (ii) the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to it stating that neither such legend nor
the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the following legends shall apply: 

(1) Restricted Note Legend. Each Note certificate evidencing the Global Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor
or in substitution thereof) shall bear the following legend on the face thereof: 
 THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE
HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT (A) IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) OR (B) IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS 

  
 50 







 
ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THIS
SECURITY RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY EXCEPT (A) TO COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT, (C) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (D) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), (E) IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT (AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF THE ISSUER SO REQUESTS) OR (F) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
(3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,” “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S.
PERSON” HAVE THE MEANING GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. 
 (2) The Regulation S Global
Note shall bear the following legend on the face thereof: 
 BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER HEREOF REPRESENTS THAT IT IS NOT A U.S.
PERSON, NOR IS IT PURCHASING FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A U.S. PERSON, AND IS ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. 

(e) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note, whether or not an Initial Note, shall bear the following legend on the face thereof: 

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION
(“DTC”), NEW YORK, NEW YORK, TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS
WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. 
 TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE
LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO DTC, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF. 

  
 51 







 (f) OID Legend. Any Note issued with original issue discount for United States federal
income tax purposes will bear the following additional legend on the face thereof: 
 THIS NOTE WAS ISSUED WITH ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT
(“OID”) FOR UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. UPON REQUEST, THE ISSUER WILL PROMPTLY MAKE AVAILABLE TO A HOLDER OF THIS NOTE INFORMATION REGARDING THE ISSUE PRICE, THE AMOUNT OF OID, THE ISSUE DATE AND THE YIELD TO MATURITY OF
THIS NOTE. HOLDERS SHOULD CONTACT THOMAS J. AARON, THE ISSUER’S EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, 4000 MERIDIAN BOULEVARD, FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE 37067. 

(g) Book-Entry Provisions. (i) This Section 2.1(g) shall
apply only to Global Notes deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC. 
 (1) Each Global Note initially shall
(x) be registered in the name of DTC or the nominee of DTC, (y) be delivered to the Notes Custodian for DTC and (z) bear the applicable legends as set forth in Section 2.1(e). Transfers of a Global Note (but
not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to DTC, its successors or its respective nominees, except as set forth in Section 2.1(g)(4) and (h). If a beneficial
interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Notes Custodian will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the
principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an
interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be
subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 

(2) Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with
respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC or by the Notes Custodian as the custodian of DTC or under such Global Note, and DTC may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and any agent of the Issuer,
the Trustee or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or
any agent of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary
practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note. 
 (3) In
connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(h) to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Notes, the Notes Custodian shall reflect on its books
and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Definitive Notes of like tenor and amount. 
 (4) In connection
with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.1(h), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. 

(5) The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and
persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 

  
 52 







 (6) Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree
that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (i) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (ii) 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. 

(h) Definitive Notes. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive
Definitive Notes. Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if (A) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global
Note, or DTC has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in each case, the Issuer fails to appoint a successor depositary within 90 days or (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default with respect to
the Notes under this Indenture. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (A) or (B) of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes.
In addition, any Note transferred to an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer or evidencing a Note that has been acquired by an affiliate in a transaction or series of transactions not involving any public
offering must, until six months (or one year if the holding period under Rule 144 then applicable to such Note is one year) after the last date on which either the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was an owner of the Note, be in the form of a
Definitive Note and bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions in Section 2.1(d). 
 (1) Any
Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(g) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(d), bear the applicable legend regarding
transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Note set forth in Section 2.1(d). 
 (2) If a
Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Definitive Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of
such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery to the transferring Holder a new Definitive Note representing the principal amount not so transferred. 
 (3) If a
Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for another Definitive Note, (x) the Trustee will cancel the Definitive Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery, one or more new Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled
Definitive Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, the Issuer
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, one or more Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion
of the canceled Definitive Notes, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. 
 SECTION 2.2. Execution and Authentication. One
Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, facsimile or other electronic signature. If the Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid
nevertheless. 
 A Note shall not be valid until an authorized officer of the Trustee manually authenticates the Note. The signature of the
Trustee on a Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture. A Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery: (1) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $1,354,663,000 and (2) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes for original issue in an unlimited principal amount, in
each case upon a written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer (the “Issuer Order”). Such Issuer Order shall specify whether the Notes will be in the form of Definitive Notes or Global Notes,


  
 53 







 
the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, the holder of the Notes and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or
Additional Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the authentication of the Initial Notes. 

The Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Issuer 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 Issuer. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the
Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by the Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and
demands. 
 In case the Issuer or any Guarantor, pursuant to Article IV or Section 10.2,
as applicable, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such
consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture
supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article IV, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may (but shall not be required),
from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate to reflect such successor Person, but otherwise in
substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon the Issuer Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and make available for delivery Notes as specified in such order for
the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.2 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of
any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name. 

SECTION 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of
transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Notes
Register”). The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term
“Registrar” includes any co-registrar. 
 The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate
agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of
each such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7. The Issuer or any Guarantor may
act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent. 
 The Issuer initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global
Notes. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as the Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent without prior notice to the Holders, but upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and
to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of any appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar
or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee and the passage of any waiting or notice periods required by DTC procedures or (ii) written 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 Issuer and the Trustee. 

SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to noon, New York City time, on each date on which the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal, premium or interest when due. The Issuer shall require the Paying Agent (other
than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders and the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (whether such
assets have been distributed to it by the Issuer 

  
 54 







 
or other obligors on the Notes), shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer or any Guarantor in making any such payment and shall during the continuance of any default by
the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith deliver to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of
the Notes together with a full accounting thereof. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Holders. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds or assets disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this
Section 2.4, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with
respect to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 SECTION 2.5. 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 Issuer, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of the Guarantors, shall
furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee, in writing, at least (i) five (5) calendar days before each interest payment date and (ii) at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request, within 30 days after receipt by
the Issuer of any such request, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders. 

SECTION 2.6. Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein)
for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Registrar a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other
document required by this Section 2.6. The Registrar will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section 2.6 by noting the same in the Notes Register
maintained by the Registrar for the purpose, and no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such Notes Register. The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with
this Section 2.6 and Section 2.1(g) and (h), as applicable, and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and
Clearstream. The Registrar shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with this Section 2.6. 

(b) Transfers of Restricted Notes. The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed registration of transfer of a
Restricted Note prior to the date that is six months (or one year if the holding period under Rule 144 then applicable to such Note is one year) after the later of the Issue Date and the last date on which the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer
was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto): 
 (1) a registration of transfer of a Restricted Note or a
beneficial interest therein to a QIB shall be made upon the representation of the transferee in the form as set forth on the reverse of the Note that it is purchasing for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole
investment discretion and that it and any such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has
received such information regarding the Issuer as the undersigned has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in
order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; provided that no such written representation or other written certification shall be required in connection with the transfer of a beneficial interest in the
Restricted Global Note to a transferee in the form of a beneficial interest in that Restricted Global Note in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of DTC; and 

(2) a registration of transfer of a Restricted Note or a beneficial interest therein to a
Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Issuer and the Registrar or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C from the proposed transferee and the delivery of
an Opinion of Counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to it. 

  
 55 







 (c) Transfers of Regulation S Notes. The following provisions shall
apply with respect to any proposed transfer of a Regulation S Note prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period: 

(1) a transfer of a Regulation S Note or a beneficial interest therein to a QIB shall be made upon the representation of
the transferee, in the form of assignment on the reverse of the certificate, that it is purchasing the Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a
“qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Issuer as the undersigned
has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by
Rule 144A; and 
 (2) a transfer of a Regulation S Note or a beneficial interest therein to a Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Registrar or its agent of a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C from the proposed transferee and receipt by the Registrar or its
agent of an Opinion of Counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to the Issuer. 
 (d) Restricted Notes Legend.
Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing a Restricted Notes
Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear a Restricted Notes Legend unless (1) a Note is being transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or (2) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it stating that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Any Additional Notes sold in a registered offering shall not be
required to bear the Restricted Notes Legend. 
 (e) [Reserved] 

(f) Retention of Written Communications. The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications
received pursuant to Section 2.1 or this Section 2.6, in accordance with applicable law and the Registrar’s customary procedures. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of
all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable prior written notice to the Registrar. 

(g) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall,
subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article II, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Issuer’s and Registrar’s written request. 

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require the Holder to pay a sum
sufficient to cover any transfer tax assessments or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to
Sections 2.2, 2.11, 2.13, 5.6 or 9.5). 
 The Issuer (and the Registrar) shall not be
required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (A) for a period beginning (1) fifteen (15) calendar days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the
day of such mailing or (2) fifteen (15) calendar days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date or (B) called for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or any Note
not redeemed due to the failure of a condition precedent to the redemption. 
 Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of
any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to
paragraph 2 of the forms of Notes attached hereto as Exhibit A) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, including without limitation the transfer or exchange of such Note, whether or not such Note
is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 56 







 Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to
Section 2.1(h) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(d), bear the applicable legends regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Definitive Note set forth in
Section 2.1(d). 
 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. 

(h) No Obligation of the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a
member of, or a participant in, DTC or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC 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 DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) 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 in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case
of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC and subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information
furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 
 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 DTC
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. Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by DTC. 

SECTION 2.7. [Reserved] 

SECTION 2.8. [Reserved] 

SECTION 2.9. [Reserved] 

SECTION 2.10. [Reserved] 

SECTION 2.11. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen 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 Issuer 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
Issuer and the Trustee that such Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar has not registered a transfer prior to receiving
such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer and the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a
“protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee; provided, however, if after the delivery of such replacement Note, a protected purchaser of the Note for which such
replacement Note was issued presents for payment or registration such replaced Note, the Trustee and/or the Issuer shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note from the Person to whom it was issued and delivered or any Person taking therefrom,
except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith. Such Holder shall


  
 57 







 
furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the (i) Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Registrar, from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon
receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due
and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Note under this
Section 2.11, the Issuer may require that such Holder pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
counsel and of the Trustee) in connection therewith. 
 Subject to the proviso in the initial paragraph of this
Section 2.11, every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.11, in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Issuer, any Guarantor (if applicable) and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.11 are
exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 

SECTION 2.12. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by
it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.11 and those described in this Section 2.12 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding in the event the
Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; provided, however, that (i) for purposes of determining which Notes are outstanding for consent or voting purposes hereunder, the provisions of
Section 13.6 shall apply and (ii) in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in making a determination whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes are present at a meeting of
Holders of Notes for quorum purposes or have consented to or voted in favor of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, or relying upon any such quorum, consent or vote, only Notes
which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be held by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall not be considered outstanding. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.11 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases
to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement pursuant to
Section 2.11. 
 If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a
redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent
is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or the notice of redemption, if any, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on
them ceases to accrue. 
 SECTION 2.13. 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 Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form, and shall carry all rights, of Definitive Notes but may
have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall
be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Issuer for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more Definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until
so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of Definitive Notes. 

  
 58 







 SECTION 2.14. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and the 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 dispose of such Notes in accordance with its internal policies and customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee) and shall acknowledge such
cancellation in writing if so requested by the Issuer. If the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the
same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.14. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in
connection with a transfer or exchange. 
 At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for
Definitive Notes, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by DTC to the Trustee 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, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased 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. 

SECTION 2.15. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such payment at the office or agency of the Issuer
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3. 
 Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not paid
when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular record date, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such
defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in
clause (a) or (b) below: 
 (a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer
shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and
at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to
the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 2.15(a). Thereupon the Issuer shall fix a record
date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which date shall be not more than fifteen (15) calendar days and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date
and not less than ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the
Issuer, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 13.2, not
less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant
to the provisions in Section 2.15(b). 

  
 59 







 (b) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this Section 2.15(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of, transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and
unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 
 SECTION 2.16. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the
Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers and, if so, the Trustee may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any
such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP and ISIN numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers.

 SECTION 2.17. Joint and Several Liability. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Issuer, and the Guarantors, shall be
jointly and severally liable for the performance of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture, the Notes and the Notes Collateral Documents. 

ARTICLE III 
 COVENANTS 

SECTION 3.1. Payment of Notes. The Issuer shall promptly pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates
and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if by noon, New York City time, on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in accordance with
this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest on
overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Indenture, the Issuer may, to the extent it is required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from principal or interest payments hereunder. 

SECTION 3.2. Limitation on Indebtedness. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness);
provided, however, that the Issuer and any of the Subsidiary Guarantors may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), if on the date of such Incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto (including pro forma
application of the proceeds thereof), the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is greater than 2.00 to 1.00. 

  
 60 







 (b) Section 3.2(a) shall not prohibit the Incurrence of the following Indebtedness: 

(1) Indebtedness of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors Incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility (including letters of
credit or bankers’ acceptances issued or created under any Credit Facility), and (without duplication) any Guarantees by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of such Indebtedness, in a maximum aggregate principal amount of all
Indebtedness Incurred under this Section 3.2(b)(1), Section 3.2(b)(4)(i) (and, without duplication, any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of such Indebtedness Incurred under
Section 3.2(b)(4)(i) that is Incurred under Section 3.2(b)(4)(iii) (and, without duplication, any such successive Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof)) and

to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that:

beneficially held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; and 
 (ii) any sale or other transfer of any
such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, 
 shall be deemed, in each case, to
constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; 
 (4)
Indebtedness represented by (i)(A) the Notes (other than any Additional Notes), including any Guarantee thereof and (B) the Other Notes issued on the Issue Date, including any Guarantee thereof, (ii) any Indebtedness (other than

Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof), to the requirements of Section 3.2(b)(5)(iii) or Incurred pursuant to Section 3.2(a), and (iv) Management Advances; 

(5) (x) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor Incurred or issued to finance an acquisition or
(y) Acquired Indebtedness; provided, however, that after giving pro forma effect to such acquisition, merger or consolidation, and the Incurrence of such Indebtedness (including pro forma application of the proceeds thereof), either:

sentence of the definition of “Acquired Indebtedness” or the proviso in the definition of “Incur”) in contemplation of the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Persons became a Restricted
Subsidiary or was otherwise acquired by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary); provided that the only obligors with respect to such Indebtedness and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof shall be those Persons who were obligors of
such Indebtedness prior to such acquisition, merger or consolidation; 

  
 61 







 (6) Hedging Obligations (excluding Hedging Obligations entered into for
speculative purposes); 
 (7) Indebtedness represented by Capitalized Lease Obligations or Purchase Money Obligations in an
aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause and then outstanding, does not exceed the greater of (i) $875,000,000 and (ii) 4.0% of

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and
in compliance with, this Section 3.2: 
 (1) subject to
Section 3.2(c)(3), in the event that all or any portion of any item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 3.2(a) and (b), the
Issuer, in its sole discretion, may divide and classify, and may from time to time divide and reclassify under Section 3.2(c)(2), such item of Indebtedness and only be required to include the amount and type of such
Indebtedness in one of the clauses of Section 3.2(a) or (b); 
 (2) subject to
Section 3.2(c)(3), additionally, all or any portion of any item of Indebtedness may later be classified as having been Incurred pursuant to any type of Indebtedness described in Section 3.2(a) and
(b) so long as such Indebtedness is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to such provision at the time of reclassification; 

(3) all Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the Credit Agreement and ABL Facility Agreement shall be deemed to
have been Incurred on the Issue Date under Section 3.2(b)(1) and may not be reclassified at any time pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of this Section 3.2(c); 

(4) in the case of any refinancing of any Indebtedness permitted under Section 3.2(b)(7),
(11), (14) or (17) or any portion thereof, such Indebtedness shall be permitted to include additional Indebtedness to pay the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums and other

 (5) Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters

(6) if obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments are Incurred
pursuant to any Credit Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to Section 3.2(a) or Section 3.2(b)(1), (7), (11), (14) or (17) and the letters of credit,
bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included to the extent of the amount treated as so Incurred; 

(7) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, or Preferred Stock of a Restricted
Subsidiary, shall be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof; 

(8) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 3.2 need not be permitted solely by reference to one
provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 3.2 permitting such Indebtedness; 

(9) the amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any
Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principal amount of Indebtedness, or liquidation preference thereof, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and 

(10) the principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of this covenant shall be determined after giving effect
to the application of proceeds of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance such original Indebtedness. 

  
 63 







 (d) Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or
amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the reclassification of commitments or
obligations not treated as Indebtedness due to a change in GAAP, shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 3.2. 

(e) If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be
Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 3.2, the Issuer shall be in default of this
Section 3.2). 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.2, the
maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The
principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was
originally incurred, in the case of term indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit indebtedness. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the
Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 

(g) [Reserved]. 
 (h) Unsecured
Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured, and senior Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a
junior priority with respect to the same collateral or is secured by different collateral.

defeasance or other acquisition or retirement and (ii) any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(3)); or

each case after the RP Reference Date; or (ii) the sale (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than to the extent of the amount
of the Investment that constituted a Permitted Investment) or a dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the RP Reference Date; and 

(E) in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or the merger or consolidation

the extent of the amount of the Investment that constituted a Permitted Investment. 
 For purposes of applying clause (iii)(E) above to the
redesignations, mergers, consolidations and transfers referred to therein that have occurred after the RP Reference Date and prior to the Issue Date each reference to an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” or “Restricted Subsidiary” in
such clause (iii)(E) shall be construed (without duplication) as a reference to an “unrestricted subsidiary” or a “restricted subsidiary” under the applicable note indenture(s) of the Issuer in effect at the time of the
redesignation, merger, consolidation or transfer in question. 
 (b) Section 3.3(a) shall not prohibit any of the following

Subsidiary) (“Refunding Capital Stock”) or a substantially concurrent contribution to the equity (other than through the issuance of Disqualified Stock or Designated Preferred Stock or through an Excluded Contribution or by any
Restricted Subsidiary) of the Issuer; provided, however, that to the extent so applied, the Net Cash Proceeds, or fair market value of property or assets or of marketable securities, from such sale of Capital Stock or such contribution

such sale or disposition; 
 (7) customary provisions in leases, licenses, shareholder agreements, joint venture agreements,
organizational documents and other similar agreements and instruments;

(12) any encumbrance or restriction required by the terms of any agreement relating to a Qualified Receivables Transaction;
provided, however, that such encumbrance or restriction applies only to such Qualified Receivables Transaction; 

(13) any encumbrance or restriction arising pursuant to an agreement or instrument (which, if it relates to any Indebtedness,
shall only be permitted if such Indebtedness is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.2) if the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole (i) are not
materially less favorable to the Holders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Specified Loan Agreements, together with the security documents associated therewith, as in effect on the Issue Date (as determined in good faith by the
Issuer) or (ii) either (A) the Issuer determines at the time of entry into such agreement or instrument that such encumbrances or restrictions shall not adversely affect, in any material respect, the Issuer’s ability to make principal or
interest payments on the Notes or (B) such encumbrance or restriction applies only during the continuance of a default relating to such agreement or instrument; 

(14) any encumbrance or restriction existing by reason of any lien permitted under Section 3.6; or

Agreement”) or contained in any amendment, supplement or other modification to an agreement referred to in Section 3.4(b)(1) to (14) or this Section 3.4(b)(15);
provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such agreement or instrument are no less favorable in any material respect to the Holders taken as a whole than the
encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Initial Agreements to which such refinancing or amendment, supplement or other modification relates (as determined in good faith by the Issuer). 

SECTION 3.5. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. 

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

(1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or
by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at least equal to the fair market value (such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) of the
shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap); 

  
 71 







 (2) in any such Asset Disposition, or series of related Asset Dispositions
(except to the extent the Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap), at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent
or otherwise), together with all other Asset Dispositions since the Issue Date (on a cumulative basis) received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; 

(3) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will apply 100% of the Net Available Cash from any Asset Disposition: 

(i) to the extent the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, elects (or is required by the terms of any
Indebtedness), (A) to prepay, repay or purchase any Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, any Pari Passu Debt Obligations or any Senior-Priority Obligations, including Indebtedness under the Specified
Loan Agreements or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof (in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary) within 450 days from the later of (1) the date of such Asset Disposition and
(2) the receipt of such Net Available Cash (as applicable, the “Asset Disposition Proceeds Application Period”); provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness
pursuant to this clause (i), the Issuer or Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related commitment (if any) to be reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased; or
(B) to prepay, repay or purchase Senior Indebtedness; provided that, to the extent the Issuer prepays, repays or purchases Pari Passu Debt Obligations or unsecured Senior Indebtedness pursuant to clause (A) above or this
clause (B), the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 5.7, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal
amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Disposition Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest,
if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid; provided further, that, in addition to the foregoing, the Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition of Collateral may not be applied to prepay, repay or purchase any
Indebtedness other than Senior-Priority Obligations or Pari Passu Debt Obligations; 
 (ii) to the extent the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, elects to invest in or commit to invest in Additional Assets (including by means of an investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Issuer or another
Restricted Subsidiary) within the Asset Disposition Proceeds Application Period; provided, however, that a binding agreement shall be treated as a permitted application of Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment with the
good faith expectation that such Net Available Cash will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or
terminated for any reason before the Net Available Cash is applied in connection therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such
cancellation or termination; provided further that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds; or 

(iii) any combination of the foregoing; and 

  
 72 







 (4) if such Asset Disposition involves the disposition of Collateral, the Issuer
or such Subsidiary has complied with the applicable provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents; provided, however, that, pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with
Section 3.5(a)(3)(i) or (ii), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise use such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 

(b) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested or committed to be applied or invested as provided in
Section 3.5(a) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds” under this Indenture. On the 451st day after an Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds under this
Indenture exceeds $200,000,000, the Issuer shall within twenty (20) Business Days be required to make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders and, to the extent the Issuer elects, to the holders of any outstanding
Pari Passu Debt Obligations (and only to the extent the Excess Proceeds are greater than the outstanding Pari Passu Debt Obligations, other Senior Indebtedness), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt
Obligations (and, if applicable, Senior Indebtedness) to which the Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and Pari Passu Debt Obligations
(and, if applicable, Senior Indebtedness), in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing the Pari Passu
Debt Obligations (and, if applicable, such Senior Indebtedness), as applicable, and, with respect to the Notes, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer shall deliver notice of such Asset
Disposition Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Asset Disposition and offering to repurchase the Notes for the specified purchase price on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 15 days and no later than 60 days from
the date such notice is delivered, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to such Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition by making an
Asset Disposition Offer prior to the expiration of the Asset Disposition Proceeds Application Period (the “Advance Offer”) with respect to all or a part of the available Net Available Cash (the “Advance Portion”) in
advance of being required to do so by this Section 3.5. 
 (c) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt
Obligations (and, if applicable, Senior Indebtedness) so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Issuer may
use any remaining Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of the Notes surrendered in any Asset Disposition Offer by Holders and
Pari Passu Debt Obligations surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance
Portion) shall be allocated among the Notes and Pari Passu Debt Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Debt Obligations; provided that no Notes or Pari
Passu Debt Obligations shall be selected and purchased in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess
Proceeds upon such completion), and in the case of an Advance Offer, the amount of Net Available Cash the Issuer is offering to apply in such Advance Offer shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of Excess Proceeds. Additionally, upon
consummation or expiration of any Advance Offer, any remaining Net Available Cash shall not be deemed Excess Proceeds and the Issuer may use such Net Available Cash for any purpose not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture. 

(d) To the extent that any portion of Net Available Cash payable in respect of the Notes is denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars,
the amount thereof payable in respect of the Notes shall not exceed the net amount of funds in U.S. dollars that is actually received by the Issuer upon converting such portion into U.S. dollars. 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.5, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Available
Cash of any Asset Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law, or would give rise to a violation of a third-party agreement of the Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary, from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Available Cash so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 3.5, and such amounts may be retained by the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law or third-party agreement will not permit 

  
 73 







 
repatriation to the United States (the Issuer hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts (as determined in the Issuer’s reasonable business judgment) to otherwise cause the applicable Foreign
Subsidiary to within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law or third-party agreement to permit such repatriation),
and if within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, such repatriation of any of such affected Net Available Cash is permitted under the applicable local law or third-party agreement, such
repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Available Cash will be promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such repatriation could be made) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved
against as a result thereof) in compliance with this Section 3.5 and (ii) to the extent that the Issuer has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Available Cash of any Foreign Disposition
would have an adverse Tax cost consequence with respect to such Net Available Cash (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment whereby doing so the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective
affiliates would incur a tax liability, including a tax dividend, deemed dividend pursuant to Code Section 956 or a withholding tax), the Net Available Cash so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default. 

(f) For the purposes of Section 3.5(a)(2), the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(i) the assumption by the transferee of Indebtedness or other liabilities contingent or otherwise of the Issuer or a Restricted
Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor) and the release of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness or other liability in connection with such Asset Disposition; 

(ii) securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer from the
transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition; 

(iii) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset
Disposition, to the extent that the Issuer and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any Guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition; 

(iv) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) received after the Issue
Date from Persons who are not the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; and 
 (v) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Dispositions having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated
Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 3.5 that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $650,000,000 and 3.0% of Total Assets (with the fair market
value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value). 

(g) Upon the commencement of an Asset Disposition Offer, the Issuer shall send, or cause to be sent, electronically or by first class mail, a
notice to the Trustee and to each Holder at its registered address, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset
Disposition Offer. Any Asset Disposition Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Disposition Offer, shall state: 

(1) that the Asset Disposition Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.5 and that, to the
extent lawful, all Notes tendered and not withdrawn shall be accepted for payment (unless prorated); 
 (2) the Asset
Disposition payment amount, the Asset Disposition offered price, and the date on which Notes tendered and accepted for payment shall be purchased, which date shall be at least 15 days and not later than 60 days from the date such notices is mailed
(the “Asset Sale Payment Date”); 

  
 74 







 (3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment will remain outstanding
and continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms thereof; 
 (4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such
payment, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Asset Sale Payment Date; 

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Disposition Offer shall be required to surrender
the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed (subject to any contrary procedures of DTC with respect to Global Notes), to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the
notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Asset Sale Payment Date; 
 (6) that Holders
will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the
expiration date of the Asset Sale Payment Date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its
tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; 
 (7) that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes
surrendered by Holders exceeds the Asset Disposition payment amount, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations
of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 remain outstanding after purchase); 
 (8) that Holders whose Notes are being
purchased only in part will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (with the unpurchased portion of the Notes required to be equal to at least $2,000 or any
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000); and 
 (9) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent
with this Section 3.5, that a Holder must follow. 
 (h) If the Asset Sale Payment Date is on or after a record
date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no other interest, if any, shall be payable to
Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. 
 (i) On the Asset Sale Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent
permitted by law, 
 (1) accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the
Asset Disposition Offer, 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Asset Disposition payment in
respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered, and 
 (3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for
cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer and directing the Trustee to cancel such Notes. 

(j) The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.5. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this
Indenture by virtue thereof. 

  
 75 







 SECTION 3.6. Limitation on Liens. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or permit to exist any Lien
(the “Initial Lien”) on any of its assets or properties, in each case whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness, other than: 

(1) in the case of any Initial Lien on any Collateral, such Initial Lien if such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien; and 

(2) in the case of any Initial Lien on any asset or property not constituting or required to become Collateral, such Initial
Lien if (a) the Notes and the Note Guarantees are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case such Initial Lien secures any Subordinated Indebtedness) the Obligations secured by such Initial Lien, or (b) such
Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien. 
 (b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to
Section 3.6(a)(2) shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien, which release and discharge, in the case of
any sale of such asset or property, shall not affect any Lien that the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, Trustee or any other authorized representative may have on the proceeds from such sale. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.6 or the definition of “Permitted Liens” to the contrary, the Issuer shall not,
and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or permit to exist Junior-Priority Obligations or Junior/Senior-Priority Obligations in an aggregate principal amount (for all such Obligations on a combined
basis) that exceeds $3.125 billion at any one time outstanding. 
 (d) If the Issuer or any Guarantor creates any Lien upon any
property or assets to secure any Senior-Priority Obligations, it must substantially concurrently grant a junior-priority Lien upon such property or assets (consistent with the lien priority for the Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees by
properties and assets of such type under the Intercreditor Agreements) as security for the Notes or the applicable Note Guarantee such that the property or assets subject to such Lien becomes Collateral securing the Obligations under the Note
Documents pursuant to the Notes Collateral Documents, except to the extent such property or assets constitutes (a) cash or Cash Equivalents required to secure only letter of credit obligations under any Credit Facility or (b) Excluded
Stock Collateral. 
 (e) Any Initial Lien on Collateral constituting a Permitted Lien that is created, Incurred or permitted to exist by the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(1), may, at the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s election (except as otherwise prohibited by clause (14) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”),
have a lien priority that is senior to, junior to, or equal with the lien priority for the Liens on such Collateral securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees. 

(f) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such
Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any
accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and
increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness. 

  
 76 







 SECTION 3.7. Limitation on Guarantees. 

(a) The Issuer will not permit any of its Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary or guarantee all or a portion of the Credit Agreement or the ABL Facility Agreement), other than a Guarantor or a Receivables Subsidiary, to Guarantee the payment of any capital markets debt securities or Indebtedness under the Credit
Agreement or the ABL Facility Agreement, in each case of the Issuer or any Guarantor, unless: 
 (1) such Restricted
Subsidiary within 30 days (i) executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a senior Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any
Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated
in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee and (ii) executes and delivers a supplement or joinder to the Notes Collateral
Documents or new Notes Collateral Documents and takes all actions required thereunder to perfect the Liens created thereunder; 

(2) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee until payment in full of Obligations under this
Indenture; and 
 (3) such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that: 

(i) such Guarantee has been duly executed and authorized; and 

(ii) such Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as
enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principals of equity; 

provided that this Section 3.7 shall not be applicable in the event that the Guarantee of the Issuer’s obligations under
the Notes or this Indenture by such Subsidiary would not be permitted under applicable law. 
 (b) The Issuer may elect, in its sole
discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a Guarantor, in which case, such Subsidiary shall only be required to comply with the requirements in Section 3.7(a)(1). 

(c) If any Guarantor becomes an Immaterial Subsidiary, the Issuer shall have the right, by execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture
to this Indenture to the Trustee, to cause such Immaterial Subsidiary to cease to be a Guarantor, subject to the requirement described in Section 3.7(a) that such Subsidiary shall be required to become a Guarantor if it
ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary (except that if such Subsidiary has been properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary it shall not be so required to become a Guarantor or execute a supplemental indenture); provided, however,
that such Immaterial Subsidiary shall not be permitted to guarantee the Credit Agreement, ABL Facility Agreement or other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Guarantor, unless it again becomes a Guarantor. 

SECTION 3.8. Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any
transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Issuer (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate value in excess of $40,000,000 unless:

 (1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction or the execution of the agreement providing for such transaction in arm’s length dealings with a Person who
is not such an Affiliate; and 

  
 77 







 (2) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate value in excess
of $80,000,000, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Disinterested Directors. 
 (b)
Section 3.8(a) shall not apply to: 
 (1) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to
Section 3.3, or any Permitted Investment; 
 (2) any issuance or sale of Capital Stock, options,
other equity-related interests or other securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, or entering into, or maintenance of, any employment, consulting, collective bargaining or
benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, related trust or other similar agreement and other compensation arrangements, options, warrants or other rights to purchase Capital Stock of the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Parent Entity,
restricted stock plans, long-term incentive plans, stock appreciation rights plans, participation plans or similar employee benefits or consultants’ plans (including valuation, health, insurance, deferred compensation, severance, retirement,
savings or similar plans, programs or arrangements) or indemnities provided on behalf of officers, employees, directors or consultants approved by the Board of Directors of Holdings, in each case in the ordinary course of business or consistent with
past practice; 
 (3) any Management Advances and any waiver or transaction with respect thereto; 

(4) any transaction between or among the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary (or entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary
as a result of such transaction), or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (5) the payment of compensation, fees and
reimbursement of expenses to, and customary indemnities (including under customary insurance policies) and employee benefit and pension expenses provided on behalf of, directors, officers, consultants or employees of the Issuer or any Restricted
Subsidiary (whether directly or indirectly and including through any Person owned or controlled by any of such directors, officers or employees); 

(6) the entry into and performance of obligations of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under the terms of any
transaction arising out of, and any payments pursuant to or for purposes of funding, any agreement or instrument in effect or contemplated in the good faith determination of the Issuer as of or on the Issue Date, as these agreements and instruments
may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed or refinanced from time to time in accordance with the other terms of this Section 3.8 or to the extent not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material
respect; 
 (7) any transaction pursuant to a Qualified Receivables Transaction; 

(8) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary
course of business or consistent with past practice, which are fair to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of Holdings or the senior management of the Issuer or the relevant
Restricted Subsidiary, or are on terms no less favorable than those that could reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 

(9) [reserved]; 

(10) issuances or sales of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock or Designated Preferred Stock) of the Issuer or
options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith or any contribution to capital of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; 

  
 78 







 (11) the HMA Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the
HMA Transactions; 
 (12) transactions in which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, delivers to the
Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of Section 3.8(a)(1); 

(13) [reserved]; 

(14) any purchases by the Issuer’s Affiliates of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries the majority of which Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock is purchased by Persons who are not the Issuer’s Affiliates; provided that such purchases by the Issuer’s Affiliates are on the same terms as such purchases by
such Persons who are not the Issuer’s Affiliates; 
 (15) payments by the Issuer (and any Parent Entity) and its
Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any tax sharing agreements in respect of Related Taxes among the Issuer (and any such Parent Entity) and its Restricted Subsidiaries on customary terms to the extent attributable to the ownership or operation of
the Issuer and its Subsidiaries; and 
 (16) the contribution or other transfer by Holdings, the Issuer or any Subsidiary of
property owned by it to any Spinout Subsidiary in a Spinout Transaction. 
 SECTION 3.9. Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all the
outstanding Notes as described under Section 5.7 that is or has become unconditional and subject to Section 3.9(c) or under Article XI, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase all of the Notes
pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will
deliver notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable
procedures of DTC, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and including the following information: 

(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.9, and that all Notes
properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuer; 
 (2) the purchase
price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 15 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 

(3) that any Note not properly tendered or accepted for payment will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest in
accordance with the terms thereof; 
 (4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment,
all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date; 

  
 79 







 (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of
Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed (subject to any contrary procedures of DTC with respect to Global Notes), to the
Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

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

(7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (with the unpurchased portion of the Notes required to be equal to at least $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000); 

(8) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is
conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and 
 (9) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer,
consistent with this Section 3.9, that a Holder must follow. 
 The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each
Holder of the Notes 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 such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or
as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. Any Change of Control Offer shall comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. 

If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid
interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no other interest, if any, shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. 

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent permitted by law, 

(1) accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer,

 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or
portions thereof so tendered, and 
 (3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so
accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer and directing the Trustee to cancel such Notes. 

(c) The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change
of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under
such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of redemption of all outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to this Indenture as described under Section 5.7, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the
redemption price on the applicable redemption date or the 

  
 80 







 
redemption is not consummated for any reason on or before the 60th day after such Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.9, a
Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 

(d) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a
Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described in this Section 3.9, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such
Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (provided that such notice is given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer
described above), to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. 

(e) The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of
any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by
virtue thereof. 
 SECTION 3.10. Reports. 

(a) Whether or not required by the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, if not filed electronically with the SEC through the SEC’s
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System (or any successor system), from and after the Issue Date, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee, within fifteen (15) days after the time periods specified below: 

(1) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, all information that would be required to be contained in an annual
report on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form, filed with the SEC, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and a report on
the annual financial statements by the Issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm; 
 (2) within 45 days
after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, all information that would be required to be contained in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or any successor or comparable form,
filed with the SEC; and 
 (3) within the time periods specified for filing current reports on Form 8-K, all current reports required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K (whether or not the Issuer is then required to file such reports); provided that no such current
report will be required to be furnished if the Issuer determines in its good faith judgment that such event is not material to Holders or the business, assets, operations, financial position or prospects of the Issuer and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; 
 in each case, in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements specified in such form.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, so long as the Issuer makes available such information to prospective purchasers of the Notes, in addition
to providing such information to the Trustee and the Holders, in each case, at the Issuer’s expense and by the applicable date the Issuer would be required to file such information pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. At any time
that any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries are Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by this Section 3.10 shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the
face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer; provided, however, that such reasonably detailed presentation shall not be required if the Total Assets of
all Unrestricted Subsidiaries are less than 5.0% of the Issuer’s Total Assets. To the extent any such 

  
 81 







 
information is not so filed or furnished, as applicable, within the time periods specified above and such information is subsequently filed or furnished, as applicable, the Issuer will be deemed
to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default or Event of Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured at such time; provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the
Holders under Article VI if Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes have declared the principal, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be
due and payable immediately and such declaration shall not have been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure. 
 (b) Substantially
concurrently with the furnishing or making such information available to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.10(a), the Issuer shall also post copies of such information required by Section 3.10(a)
on its website. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the
failure to comply with the reporting obligations described under this Section 3.10, for the 60 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consists exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the
principal amount of the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. This additional interest shall be payable in the same manner and subject to the same terms as other interest payable under this Indenture. This additional interest will accrue on
all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the reporting obligations described in Section 3.10(a) first occurs to, but excluding, the 120th day
thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Event of Default relating to such reporting obligations is cured or waived). If the Event of Default resulting from such failure to comply with the reporting obligations is continuing on such 120th day,
such additional interest will cease to accrue and the Notes will be subject to the other remedies provided under Article VI. 
 (d) The
Issuer shall hold quarterly conference calls for the Holders to discuss financial information for the previous quarter (it being understood that such quarterly conference call may be the same conference call as with Holdings’ equity investors
and analysts). The conference call will be held following the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Issuer and not later than ten (10) Business Days from the time that the Issuer distributes the financial information as set forth in
Section 3.10(a). No fewer than two (2) days prior to the conference call, the Issuer or Holdings will issue a press release announcing the time and date of such conference call and providing instructions for Holders,
securities analysts and prospective investors to obtain access to such call. 
 (e) The Issuer shall, for so long as the Notes are not
freely transferable under the Securities Act, furnish to Holders and to prospective investors, upon their request, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, at any time that a Parent Entity holds no material assets other than cash, Cash
Equivalents and the Capital Stock of the Issuer or any other Parent Entity (and performs the related incidental activities associated with such ownership) and complies with the requirements of Rule 3-10
of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC (or any successor provision), the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and furnished to Holders pursuant to this
Section 3.10 may, at the option of the Issuer, be filed by and be those of such Parent Entity rather than of the Issuer; provided, however, that the issuance by a Parent Entity of any Indebtedness or Capital
Stock shall not be deemed to prevent the Issuer from exercising its option described in this Section 3.10(f) to file and furnish reports, information and other documents of a Parent Entity to satisfy the requirements of
this Section 3.10. 
 (g) Delivery under this Section 3.10 of reports, information and
documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee, subject to Section 7.1 hereof, is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 

  
 82 







 SECTION 3.11. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose
and where, if applicable, the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be delivered. The Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, which initially shall be located at Regions Bank, 201 Milan Parkway, Birmingham, Alabama 35211, Mail Code: ALBH70218A, Attention: Corporate Trust Operations, shall be such office or agency of the Issuer unless the Issuer shall designate and
maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such
required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive
all such presentations and surrenders. 
 The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location
of any such other office or agency. 
 SECTION 3.12. Corporate Existence. Except as otherwise provided in this
Article III, Article IV and Section 10.2(b), the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each Restricted Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuer and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided,
however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise or the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of any Restricted Subsidiary if the respective Board of Directors or,
with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Significant Subsidiary (or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken together would not be a Significant Subsidiary), senior management of the Issuer determines that the preservation thereof is
no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not, and will not be, disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 

SECTION 3.13. Payment of Taxes. The Issuer shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Issuer or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged
any such tax, assessment or charge the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves, if necessary (in the good faith judgment of management of the Issuer),
are being maintained in accordance with GAAP or where the failure to effect such payment or discharge will not be disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 

SECTION 3.14. Compliance Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Issuer an Officer’s Certificate, signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer of the Issuer, stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of the Issuer he
or she would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during the previous fiscal year; provided that no such Officer’s Certificate
shall be required for any fiscal year ended prior to the Issue Date. If such Officer does have such knowledge, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and the action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto. 
 SECTION 3.15. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent
or as necessary to comply with future developments or requirements, the Issuer will 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 3.16. Statement by Officers as to Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after
the occurrence thereof, written notice of any events of which it is aware which would constitute a Default or Event of Default, their status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. 

  
 83 







 SECTION 3.17. Suspension of Certain Covenants and Release of Collateral and Guarantees on
Achievement of Investment Grade Status. 
 (a) Following the first day after the Issue Date that: (1) the Notes have achieved
Investment Grade Status; and (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) with respect to the Notes being collectively
referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Date”), then, beginning on that day and continuing until the Reversion Date (as defined below), the Note Guarantees shall be released, the Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes shall be
released and the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.8 and 4.1(a)(3) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Date, the amount of Excess Proceeds from any Asset Disposition shall be reset at zero. If at
any time the Notes cease to have such Investment Grade Status, then the Suspended Covenants, the Note Guarantees and the Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes will thereafter be reinstated (solely with respect to future events) in the case of
the Suspended Covenants (such time, the “Reversion Date”). 
 (c) The period of time between the Covenant Suspension Date
and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period”. In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to the Suspended
Covenants prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of Default; provided that (1) with respect to Restricted Payments made on or after the Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated
as though Section 3.3 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period, (2) all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred or issued pursuant to
Section 3.2(b)(4)(ii), (3) no Subsidiaries shall be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during any Suspension Period unless such designation would have complied with Section 3.3 as if such
covenant would have been in effect during such period, (4) any Affiliate Transaction entered into on or after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to
Section 3.8(b)(6), (5) any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to take any action described in Section 3.4(a)(1) through (3) that becomes effective
during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(1), (6) no Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be required to comply with Section 3.7 on or after the Reversion
Date with respect to any guarantee entered into by such Subsidiary during the Suspension Period, and (7) all Liens created, incurred or assumed during the Suspension Period in compliance with this Indenture will be deemed to have been
outstanding on the Issue Date, so that they are classified as permitted under clause (11) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.” 

(d) During the Suspension Period, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be entitled to incur Liens to the extent provided for under
Section 3.6 (including, without limitation, Permitted Liens). To the extent such covenant and any Permitted Liens refer to one or more Suspended Covenants, such covenant or definition shall be interpreted as though such
applicable Suspended Covenant(s) continued to be applicable during the Suspension Period (but solely for purposes of Section 3.6 and the “Permitted Liens” definition and for no other covenant). 

(e) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated after the Reversion Date, (1) no Default, Event of Default or breach
of any kind will be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants, and none of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability in respect of the Notes for any actions
taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising during such Suspension Period, in each case as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants
during such Suspension Period (or, upon termination of such Suspension Period or after that time based solely on any action taken or event that occurred during such Suspension Period), and (2) following a Reversion Date, the Issuer and each
Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted, without causing a Default or Event of Default, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations arising during any Suspension Period and to consummate the transactions
contemplated thereby. 
 (f) The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, shall not be deemed to have any knowledge
of the ratings of the Notes and shall have no duty to notify Holders of the suspension of the Suspended Covenants or the occurrence of the Reversion Date. 

  
 84 







 SECTION 3.18. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would
not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer) will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under
Section 3.3 or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Issuer. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the
Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default. 

(b) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the preceding conditions and was permitted by
Section 3.3. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture
and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under Section 3.2, the
Issuer will be in default of Section 3.2. 
 (c) The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate
any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Indebtedness of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 3.2 calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the
applicable reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. Any such designation by the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a
certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the preceding conditions. 

SECTION 3.19. Impairment of Security Interest. 

(a) Holdings and the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any
action which action or omission might reasonably or would (in the good faith determination of the Issuer) have the result of materially impairing the effectiveness of the security interests, taken as a whole, including the lien priority with respect
thereto, with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the Holders, including materially impairing the lien priority of the Notes with respect thereto (it being understood that any release under
Section 12.6 and the incurrence of Permitted Liens shall not be deemed to so materially impair the security interests with respect to the Collateral). 

(b) At the direction of the Issuer and without the consent of the Holders, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or its agent or designee shall
from time to time enter into one or more amendments, extensions, renewals, restatements, supplements or other modifications or replacements to or of the Notes Collateral Documents to: (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency
therein that does not materially adversely affect the interests of the Holders, (ii) provide for Permitted Liens or Liens otherwise permitted under Section 3.6, (iii) add to the Collateral or (iv) make any
other change thereto that does not adversely affect the Holders in any material respect. 
 SECTION 3.20. Restriction on Repurchase,
Redemption and Retirement of 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any outstanding 2019 Notes or 2020
Notes with: (i) cash or Cash Equivalents on hand as of the consummation of the Exchange Offers, (ii) cash generated from operations, (iii) proceeds from asset sales or (iv) proceeds from the issuance of, or in exchange for,
Secured Indebtedness, in each case, prior to the date that is 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such 2019 Notes or 2020 Notes, as applicable. 

  
 85 







 ARTICLE IV 

SUCCESSOR ISSUER; SUCCESSOR PERSON 

SECTION 4.1. Merger and Consolidation. 

(a) The Issuer will not consolidate with or merge with or into or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets, in one or
more related transactions, to any Person, unless: 
 (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the
“Successor Company”) will be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company (if not the Issuer) will expressly
assume, by supplemental indenture to this Indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, all the obligations of the Issuer
under the Notes, this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents (and the applicable Person shall cause such amendments, supplements and other instruments to be executed, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable
law to preserve and protect the Liens on the Collateral owned by or transferred to such Person, together with such financing statements or comparable documents as may be required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may be
perfected by the filing of a financing statement or a similar document under the Uniform Commercial Code or other similar statute or regulation of the relevant states or jurisdiction), and if such Successor Company is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation organized or existing under such laws; 
 (2)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the applicable Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the applicable Successor Company as a result of such transaction as having been
Incurred by the applicable Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, either (i) the applicable Successor Company would be able to
Incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.2(a) or (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would not be lower than it was immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction; and 

(4) the Issuer or, if applicable, the Successor Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Junior-Priority Collateral
Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such supplemental
indenture (if any) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and is a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable against the applicable Successor Company (in each case, in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Junior-Priority
Collateral Agent); provided that in giving an Opinion of Counsel, counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to any matters of fact, including as to satisfaction of Section 4.1(a)(2) and (3). 

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

(c) The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under the Notes, this
Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents, but in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the predecessor company will not be released from its obligations under the Notes, this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents.


  
 86 







 (d) Notwithstanding Section 4.1(a)(2), (3) and (4) (which
do not apply to transactions referred to in this sentence), any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer may consolidate or otherwise combine with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer. Notwithstanding Sections
4.1(a)(2) and (3) (which do not apply to the transactions referred to in this sentence), the Issuer may consolidate or otherwise combine with or merge into an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of changing the legal
domicile of the Issuer, reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction, or changing the legal form of the Issuer. 
 (e) No Guarantor
may: 
 (1) consolidate with or merge with or into any Person, or 

(2) sell, convey, transfer or dispose of, all or substantially all its assets, in one transaction or a series of related
transactions, to any Person, or 
 (3) permit any Person to merge with or into the Guarantor, unless: 

(i) the other Person is the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor (and the applicable Person shall cause such
amendments, supplements and other instruments to be executed, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Liens on the Collateral owned by or transferred to such Person, together with
such financing statements or comparable documents as may be required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or a similar document under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
similar statute or regulation of the relevant states or jurisdiction); or 
 (ii) (A) either (x) a Guarantor is the
continuing Person or (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee, this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents (and the applicable Person shall cause such
amendments, supplements and other instruments to be executed, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Liens on the Collateral owned by or transferred to such Person, together with
such financing statements or comparable documents as may be required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or a similar document under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
similar statute or regulation of the relevant states or jurisdiction); and 
 (B) immediately after giving effect to the
transaction, no Default has occurred and is continuing; or 
 (iii) the transaction constitutes a sale or other disposition
(including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Subsidiary Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise
permitted by this Indenture. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may (i) merge, consolidate with or into, wind up into or
transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another Guarantor of the Notes or the Issuer, (ii) merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing such

the United States, or (iv) liquidate or dissolve or change its legal form if the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the senior management of the Issuer determines in good faith that such action is in the best interests of the Issuer and is not
materially disadvantageous to the Holders, in each case, without regard to the requirements set forth in this Section 4.1(e).

 ARTICLE V 

REDEMPTION OF NOTES 

SECTION 5.1. Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of
Section 5.7, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 15 days but, except as set forth under Section 5.4, not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting
forth: 
 (1) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; 

(2) the redemption date; 

(3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and 

(4) the redemption price. 

Any optional redemption referenced in such Officer’s Certificate may be cancelled by the Issuer at any time prior to notice of redemption
being sent to any Holder and thereafter shall be null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, no Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 13.4 or otherwise shall be required in connection with the delivery of such notice of redemption or
redemption. 
 SECTION 5.2. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any
time, the Trustee will select the Notes for redemption in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed, as certified to the Trustee by the Issuer, and in compliance with the applicable
requirements of DTC, or if the Notes are not so listed or such exchange prescribes no method of selection and the Notes are not held through DTC or DTC prescribes no method of selection, on a pro rata basis, subject to adjustments so that no Note in
an unauthorized denomination is redeemed in part; provided, however, that no Note of $2,000 in aggregate principal amount or less will be redeemed in part. 

SECTION 5.3. Notice of Redemption. 

(a) Notices of redemption will be delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail at least 15 days but, except as set forth under
Section 5.4, not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures
of DTC, except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
pursuant to Article VIII or XI. 
 The notice will identify the Notes (including the CUSIP or ISIN number)
to be redeemed and will state: 
 (1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price; 

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the
redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; 

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

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

(6) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption cease to accrue
on and after the redemption date; 

  
 88 







 (7) any condition precedent to the redemption and related information as required
by Section 5.4; 
 (8) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called
for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (9) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
or ISIN number listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 (b) If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption
that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, in which case a portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. In the case of a
Global Note, an appropriate notation shall be made on such Note to decrease the principal amount thereof to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof. Subject to the terms of the applicable redemption notice (including any conditions
contained therein), Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, unless (i) the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price or (ii) such redemption remains
conditioned on the happening of a future event, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. 
 (c) For
Notes which are represented by global certificates held on behalf of DTC, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to DTC, in accordance with their procedures for communication to entitled account holders in substitution for the
aforesaid electronic delivery or first-class mailing. 
 (d) At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption
in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate containing the information required by this Section 5.3 at least two
(2) Business Days prior to the date on which the Issuer instructs the Trustee to send the notice (or such shorter period as the Trustee may agree). 

SECTION 5.4. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Subject to the following four sentences, once notice of redemption is sent in accordance
with Section 5.3, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. Any redemption and written notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be
subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent (including, in the case of a redemption related to an Equity Offering, the consummation of such Equity Offering). Written notice of redemption will be provided as set forth under
Section 5.3. In addition, if such redemption or purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such written notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the
Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the written notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions
shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such written notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or
such written notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such written notice that payment
of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person. 

SECTION 5.5. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. Prior to noon, New York City time, on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer
will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly
return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to
accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to
the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date, and no other interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to 

  
 89 







 
redemption by the Issuer. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding
paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes
and in Section 3.1. 
 SECTION 5.6. Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is
redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the
Note surrendered; provided, that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

SECTION 5.7. Optional Redemption. 

(a) Except as set forth in Sections 5.7(b), (c), (d) and (e), the Notes are not redeemable at
the option of the Issuer. 
 (b) At any time and from time to time on or after the Issue Date and prior to June 30, 2021, the Issuer
may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium
as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. 
 (c) At any time and from time to time on or after
June 30, 2021, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ written notice at a redemption price equal to the percentage of principal amount set forth below plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 30 of the years indicated below: 

 

					
	Year	  	Percentage	 
	 2021
	  	 	104.063	% 
	 2022
	  	 	102.031	% 
	 2023 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (d) At any time and from time to time on or after the Issue Date and prior to June 30, 2021, the Issuer
may redeem Notes with the net cash proceeds received by the Issuer from any Equity Offering (other than Excluded Contributions) at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) equal to 108.125% plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, in an aggregate principal amount for all such redemptions not to exceed 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including any Additional Notes); provided that: 

(1) in each case the redemption takes place not later than 180 days after the closing of the related Equity Offering, and

 (2) not less than 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture on the
Issue Date and any Additional Notes originally issued under this Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately thereafter (excluding Notes held by Holdings, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries). 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Issuer, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Issuer, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by
such Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date, to redeem (with respect to the Issuer) or purchase
(with respect to a third party) all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price paid to each other Holder in such tender offer (which may be less than par) plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer
payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the redemption date. 

  
 90 







 (f) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be made pursuant
to the provisions of Sections 5.1 through 5.6. 
 SECTION 5.8. Mandatory Redemption. 

(a) If the Notes would otherwise constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of
Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, at the end of each “accrual period” (as defined in Section 1272(a)(5) of the Code) ending after the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date (each, an “AHYDO Redemption Date”), the
Issuer shall redeem for cash a portion of each Note then outstanding equal to the Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount (each such redemption, a “Mandatory Principal Redemption”). The redemption price (the “Mandatory
Redemption Price”) for the portion of each Note redeemed pursuant to a Mandatory Principal Redemption shall equal 100% of the principal amount of such portion plus any accrued interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption. No
partial redemption or repurchase of the Notes prior to any AHYDO Redemption Date pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture will alter the Issuer’s obligation to make a Mandatory Principal Redemption with respect to any Notes that remain
outstanding on any AHYDO Redemption Date. 
 (b) Except with respect to any Mandatory Principal Redemption pursuant to
Section 5.8(a), the Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes; provided however, that under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to
purchase Notes under Section 3.5 and Section 3.9. The Issuer may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. 

ARTICLE VI

Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, which default: 

(A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness, at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any
applicable grace periods) provided in such Indebtedness; or 
 (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to
its stated final maturity;

without limiting Section 6.1(a)(6) or (7), in connection with the bankruptcy of a Subsidiary Guarantor, so long as the aggregate assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor and any other Subsidiary Guarantor whose Note
Guarantee ceased to be in full force and effect as a result of a bankruptcy are less than $150,000,000; 
 (10) (a) any
Lien created by the Notes Collateral Documents relating to the Notes and/or the Note Guarantees shall not constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any portion of the Collateral intended to be covered thereby with an aggregate fair market value, with
respect to all such Liens taken together, greater than $150,000,000 (to the extent perfection is required by this Indenture or the Notes Collateral Documents), except as otherwise permitted by the terms of this Indenture or the relevant Notes

same (a) results directly from the action or inaction of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or (b) is not materially adverse to the Holders. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a Default under Section 6.1(a)(4) will not constitute an Event of
Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer of the default and the Issuer does not cure such default within the time specified in Section 6.1(a)(4) after
receipt of such notice and (ii) a Default under Section 6.1(a)(10)(c) will not constitute an Event of Default until Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer of the default.


  
 93 







 SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. 

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(a)(6) or (7) with
respect to Holdings or the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuer (or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee), may declare the
principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. 

(b) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in clause Section 6.1(a)(5)
has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if: 
 (1) the
event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(5) shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of the Indebtedness, or the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event
of Default shall have been discharged in full, in each case, within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto; 

(2) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction; and 
 (3) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal or interest, if any, on the Notes
that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. 
 (c) If an Event of Default described in
Section 6.1(a)(6) or (7) with respect to Holdings or the Issuer occurs and is continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(a)(6) or (7) with respect to Holdings or
the Issuer, an amount equal to the applicable “make-whole” premium or optional redemption premium, if any, that would have been payable in connection with an optional redemption of the Notes at the time of the occurrence of such Event of
Default, will become and be immediately due and payable with respect to all Notes without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. 

(d) (i) If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another Default (the
“Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another Default that resulted solely because of that
Initial Default shall also be cured without any further action and (ii) any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed under Section 3.10, or otherwise to deliver any notice
or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by Section 3.10 or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such
delivery is not within the prescribed period specified herein. 
 SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this
Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is
exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 
 SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, (a) waive, by their consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), all past or existing Defaults or Events of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if
any, or interest, 

  
 94 







 
if any, on a Note or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder
affected and (b) rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, (2) all existing Events of Default
have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of
interest, premium, if any, and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (4) the Issuer has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances and (5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (4) of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is
deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right. 

SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee 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 the Notes
or, subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or
not any actions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction. Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against all fees, losses and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) that may be caused by taking or not taking
such action. 
 SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no
obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability
or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

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

(2) Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the
remedy; 
 (3) such Holders have offered in writing to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt
of the written request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 

SECTION 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without
limitation, Section 6.6), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the
Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(1) or
(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent
lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7. 

  
 95 







 SECTION 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim
and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to Holdings, the Issuer, its Subsidiaries or its or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may be entitled and empowered to participate
as a member of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and 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 compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. 

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents, if the Trustee collects any money or property
pursuant to this Article VI it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due to it under Section 7.7; 

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal of, or 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 of, or premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 

THIRD: to the Issuer, or to the extent the Trustee collects any amount from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor. 

(b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At
least fifteen (15) days before such record date, the Issuer shall send or cause to be sent to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against
the Trustee or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent for any action taken or omitted by it, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This
Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, a suit by the Issuer, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10%
in outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

 ARTICLE VII 

TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.1.
Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

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

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth as duties of the Trustee
in this Indenture, the Notes, the Notes Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates, opinions or orders furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be. However, in the case of any such certificates or
opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture or the Notes,
as the case may be (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The
Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(1) this Section 7.1(c) does not limit the effect of Section 7.1(b); 

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that
the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5; and 

(4) no provision of this Indenture or the Notes shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is
subject to clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.1. 
 (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for
interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. 
 (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1. 

  
 97 







 SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee. Subject to Section 7.1: 

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee shall receive and retain financial reports and statements of the Issuer as provided herein, but shall have no duty to review or analyze such
reports or statements to determine compliance with covenants or other obligations of the Issuer. 
 (b) Unless this Indenture
provides otherwise, before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an
Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 
 (c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts and powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. 

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or
within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its
selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel relating to this Indenture or the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under the Notes in
good faith and in reliance on the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of
any Default or Event of Default or whether any entity or group of entities constitutes a Significant Subsidiary unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default
or of any such Significant Subsidiary is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee specified in Section 3.11, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 

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

(h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or the
Notes at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. 
 (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or
matter unless such fact or matter is actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee. 
 (j) Whenever in the administration
of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both, as applicable. 

(k) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further 

  
 98 







 
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine, during
business hours and upon reasonable notice, the books, records and premises of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any
kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (l) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in
respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder. 
 (m) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an
incumbency certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture or the Notes. 

(n) In no event shall the Trustee be liable to any Person for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or
damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage. 

(o) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be
sufficient if signed by one Officer of the Issuer 
 SECTION 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any
other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar,
co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. In
addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Issuer; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest under the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee must (i) eliminate such
conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest or (ii) resign. 
 SECTION 7.4. Trustee’s and
Junior-Priority Collateral Agent’s Disclaimer. Neither the Trustee nor the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be responsible for and neither of them makes any representation as to the validity or adequacy of this
Indenture, the Notes, or the Notes Collateral Documents. Neither of them shall be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from any sale of the Notes, neither of them shall be responsible for the use or application of any money received
by any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee to the extent the Trustee is the Paying Agent) or any money paid to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and neither of them shall be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this
Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the issuance of the Notes or in the Notes (other than, in the case of the Trustee, the Trustee’s certificate of authentication). 

SECTION 7.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Trustee is informed of such
occurrence by the Issuer, the Trustee must give notice of the Default or Event of Default to the Holders and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent within 60 days after being notified by the Issuer. Except in the case of a Default or Event of
Default in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders. 

SECTION 7.6. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each December 31 beginning December 31, 2018, the
Trustee shall transmit to each Holder (with a copy to the Issuer) a brief report dated as of such December 31 that complies with Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act if and to the extent required thereby. The Trustee also shall comply
with Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the
SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Issuer agrees to notify the Trustee promptly in writing whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof and the Trustee shall comply with
Section 313(d) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

  
 99 







 SECTION 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to
time compensation for its services hereunder and under the Notes as the Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of
collection, costs of preparing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and transmitting notices to Holders. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the agents,
counsel, accountants and experts of the Trustee. The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all fees, loss, liability, damages, claims or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee) (and also
including reasonable attorneys’ and agents’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, on its part in connection with the administration of
this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Notes, including the fees, costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.7) and the Notes and of defending itself against any
claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity of which it has received written notice. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall
not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. 
 To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this
Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The Trustee’s
respective right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.7 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Issuer. 

The Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and
the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs fees, expenses or renders services after the occurrence of a Default specified in
Section 6.1(a)(6) or (a)(7), the fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

SECTION 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing not less than 30 days
prior to the effective date of such resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the removed Trustee in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such removal
and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee (and any Holder that has been a bona fide Holder for not less than six months may
petition any court for removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee) if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply
with Section 7.10; 
 (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting as trustee hereunder. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders do not
reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee as described in the preceding paragraph, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall
mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in
Section 7.7. 

  
 100 







 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition, at the Issuer’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, 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. 
 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuer’s
obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall have no liability for any action or inaction of any successor Trustee. 

SECTION 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation 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; provided that the right to adopt
the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall only apply to its successor or successors by merger, consolidation or conversion. 

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee that satisfies the requirements of
Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) of the Trust Indenture Act in every respect. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The
Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act any indenture or indentures under which
other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are met. 

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

SECTION 7.12. Trustee’s Application for Instruction from the Issuer. Any application by the Trustee for written
instructions from the Issuer may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall
be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three
(3) Business Days after the date any Officer of the Issuer actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the
case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

 ARTICLE VIII 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

SECTION 8.1. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance; Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect
to have either Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article VIII. 

SECTION 8.2. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option
applicable to this Section 8.2, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4, be deemed to have been discharged from their
obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees and the Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees
and the Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.5 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in
Sections 8.2(1) and (2), and to have satisfied all of their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees, this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the
Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same) and to have cured all then existing Events of Default, except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of Holders of Notes issued under this Indenture to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest, if any, on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust referred to in Section 8.4; 

(2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes under Article II concerning issuing
temporary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and Section 3.11 concerning the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the
Issuer’s or Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Article VIII
with respect to provisions relating to Legal Defeasance. 
 Subject to compliance with this Section 8.2, the
Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3. 

SECTION 8.3. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable
to this Section 8.3, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4, be released from each of their obligations under the
covenants contained in Section 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.17, 3.18, 3.19, 3.20 and
Section 4.1 (except Section 4.1(a)(1) and (a)(2)) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the
Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1, but,
except as specified in this Section 8.3, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under
Section 8.1 of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4,
Sections 6.1(a)(3) (solely with respect to the defeased covenants listed above), 6.1(a)(4) (solely with respect to the defeased covenants listed 

  
 102 







 
above), 6.1(a)(5), 6.1(a)(6) (with respect only to a Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that taken together would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary), 6.1(a)(7) (with respect only to a Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(a)(8), 6.1(a)(9), 6.1(a)(10) and 6.1(a)(11) shall not constitute Events of Default. 

SECTION 8.4. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under
either Section 8.2 or 8.3: 
 (1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in
trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in dollars or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the
principal of and premium, if any and interest, if any, due on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a
particular redemption date; provided, that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the
Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the
Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such
Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption. 
 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions: 

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

(ii) since the issuance of the Initial Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel in the United States shall confirm that, subject to customary
assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of Covenant
Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States stating that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and the
granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 
 (5) such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the Issuer or any Guarantor
is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 

(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that, as of the date of such opinion and
subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 546 or 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended; 

  
 103 







 (7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying, defrauding or preferring any creditors of the Issuer; and 

(8) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of
Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with. 

SECTION 8.5. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to
Section 8.6, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the
“Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest,
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer will pay and indemnify the
Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any
such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this
Article VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in
Section 8.4 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be public accountants delivering the
opinion delivered under Section 8.4(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

SECTION 8.6. Repayment to the Issuer. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust
for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its written request
unless an abandoned property law designates another Person or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof unless an
abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that
the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. 

SECTION 8.7. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Note Documents, the Note Guarantees and the Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2 or
Section 8.3, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer
will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 ARTICLE IX 

AMENDMENTS 
 SECTION 9.1.
Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.2, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Trustee and the other parties thereto, as applicable, may amend or supplement any Note Documents and the
Issuer may direct the Trustee, and the Trustee will, enter into an amendment to any Note Document, to: 
 (1) cure any
ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect, error or inconsistency, conform any provision of a Note Document to the “Description of the New Notes” in the Offering Memorandum or reduce the minimum denomination of the Notes; 

(2) provide for the assumption by a successor Person of the obligations of the Issuer under any Note Document; 

(3) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

(4) add to the covenants or provide for a Note Guarantee for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any right or power
conferred upon the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (5) make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of
any Holder in any material respect; 
 (6) secure under the Notes Collateral Documents any Pari Passu Debt Obligations
otherwise permitted to be secured by the Collateral; 
 (7) make such provisions as necessary (as determined in good faith by
the Issuer) for the issuance of Additional Notes otherwise permitted to be issued under this Indenture; 
 (8) provide for
any Restricted Subsidiary to provide a Note Guarantee in accordance with Section 3.2, to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes, to add security to or for the benefit of the Notes, or to confirm and evidence the release,
termination, discharge or retaking of any Guarantee or Lien with respect to or securing the Notes when such release, termination, discharge or retaking is provided for under this Indenture, the Notes Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor
Agreements, as applicable; 
 (9) evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture or the Notes
Collateral Documents of a successor Trustee or Junior-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable requirements hereof or to provide for the accession by the Trustee or Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable, to any Note Document;

 (10) make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes;
provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in such Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does
not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer such Notes; 
 (11) mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or
grant any other Lien in favor of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders, as additional security for the payment and performance of all or any portion of such Liens, in any property or
assets, including any which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which a Lien is required to be granted to or for the benefit of the Trustee or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to the Indenture, any of the
Intercreditor Agreements, the Notes Collateral Documents or otherwise; 

  
 105 







 (12) provide for the release of Collateral from the Lien pursuant to this
Indenture, the Notes Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements when permitted or required by the Notes Collateral Documents, this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreements; or 

(13) to the extent necessary to provide for the granting of a security interest for the benefit of any Person; provided
that the granting of such security interest is not prohibited under this Indenture. 
 Subject to Section 9.2, and
upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 9.6 and 13.4, the Trustee will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors, if applicable, in the execution of such amendment or supplement unless such
amendment or supplement directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amendment or supplement.

 After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to Holders a
notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.1.

 SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.2, the Note Documents may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes), and, subject to
Sections 6.4 and 6.7, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provisions thereof may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
(including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes). Section 2.12 and Section 13.6 shall determine which Notes are considered to be
“outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.2. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer and upon the
filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 9.6 and 13.4, the Trustee will join with the Issuer and the
Guarantors, if applicable, in the execution of such amendment or supplement unless such amendment or supplement directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in
its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amendment or supplement. 
 (b) Without the consent of each Holder of Notes
affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not, with respect to any such Notes held by a non-consenting Holder: 

(1) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment; 

(2) reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any such Note (other than provisions
relating to Sections 3.5 and 3.9); 
 (3) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any such
Note; 
 (4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any such Note or change the time at which any such Note may be
redeemed, in each case as set forth in Section 5.7; provided that any amendment to the minimum notice requirement may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Notes
then outstanding; 
 (5) make any such Note payable in currency other than that stated in such Note; 

(6) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and interest on, such Holder’s Notes on or after
the due dates therefor or amend the contractual right expressly set forth in this Indenture and the Notes of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Notes on
or after the due dates therefor; 

  
 106 







 (7) waive a Default or Event of Default with respect to the nonpayment of
principal, premium or interest (except pursuant to 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);

 (8) make any change in the provisions of any of the Intercreditor Agreements or this Indenture dealing with the
application of proceeds of Collateral that would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes in any material respect; 
 (9)
make any change in the ranking or priority of any Note that would adversely affect the Holders; or 
 (10) make any change in
the amendment or waiver provisions which require the Holders’ consent described in this Section 9.2. 
 The
consent of the Holders is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of any Note Document. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment,
supplement or waiver. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of Notes given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. 

Without the consent of the Holders of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents with respect to the Notes. 

After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to Holders a notice
briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement. 

Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer may, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of
interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any Notes Collateral Document unless such consideration is offered to all Holders
and is paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

SECTION 9.3. [Reserved]  

SECTION 9.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it
by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made
on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or
take any other action described in this Section 9.4 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. 

  
 107 







 SECTION 9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate
notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment,
supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

SECTION 9.6. Trustee and Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments. The Trustee and, if applicable, the Junior-Priority
Collateral Agent shall sign any amendment or supplement to any Note Document authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of
the Trustee and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent. In executing any amendment or supplement to any Note Document, the Trustee and Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall receive and, subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2
in the case of the Trustee, shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.4, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is valid, binding and enforceable against the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms. 

ARTICLE X 
 GUARANTEE 

SECTION 10.1. Guarantee. On the Issue Date, the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture shall be, jointly and
severally, unconditionally guaranteed on a junior priority senior secured basis (the “Note Guarantees”) by Holdings and each Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that Guarantees the payment of any capital market debt securities or
Indebtedness under the Specified Loan Agreements of the Issuer or any Guarantor. Subject to the provisions of this Article X, each Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and
not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to each Holder of the Notes, the Trustee, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Notes Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, the full and
punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes and all other obligations and liabilities of the Issuer under the Note Documents
(including without limitation, interest, if any, accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding and the obligations under Section 7.7) (all the foregoing being hereinafter
collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations will rank equally in right of payment with other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness
is subordinate to the Guaranteed Obligations, in which case the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees will rank senior in right of payment to such other Indebtedness. 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.1 shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on
the applicable supplemental indenture to this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 

Each Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in
part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. 

Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer 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. 

  
 108 







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

Except as set forth in Section 10.2, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any
reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations of
each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of the Trustee, any Holder or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the
Issuer or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes, the Notes Collateral Documents, or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of
the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, the Notes Collateral Documents, or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder for the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) the release of, or any impairment of or
failure to perfect any Lien on or security interest in, any security held by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Holder for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (f) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or
remedy against any other Guarantor; (g) any change in the ownership of the Trustee, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or Issuer; (h) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;
or (i) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or
equity. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive or
release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in its sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors
upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder. 
 Each Guarantor agrees
that its Note Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee in compliance with Section 10.2,
Article VIII or Article XI. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part
thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder, the Trustee or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Issuer, any Guarantor or otherwise. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder, the
Trustee or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders (or the Trustee or Junior-Priority Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Holders) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing (but only to the
extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding). 

Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of
the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantor for the purposes of this Note Guarantee. 

  
 109 







 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’
fees and expenses) incurred by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.1. 

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

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to
the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of
such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer
under federal, foreign or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

(b) The Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall terminate upon: 

(1) a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor or the
sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor to a Person other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary and as otherwise permitted by this Indenture (including pursuant to an enforcement action in accordance with
the Intercreditor Agreements); 
 (2) the designation in accordance with this Indenture of the Guarantor as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary or the occurrence of any event after which the Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (3) defeasance
or discharge of the Notes, as provided in Articles VIII or XI; 
 (4) to the extent that such Guarantor is not
an Immaterial Subsidiary solely due to the operation of clause (i) of the definition of “Immaterial Subsidiary,” upon the release of all guarantees referred to in such clause; 

(5) [reserved]; 

(6) the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of such Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Guarantor that is the
surviving Person in such merger, amalgamation or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Issuer or another Guarantor; or 

(7) the achievement of Investment Grade Status pursuant to Section 3.17; provided that such
Note Guarantee shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date. 
 (c) The Note Guarantee of Holdings or any other direct or indirect parent of
the Issuer that provides a Guarantee will terminate upon defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in Article VIII and Article XI. 

(d) The Trustee, upon receipt of any applicable Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, shall promptly execute, deliver or
acknowledge all documents, instruments and releases that have been requested to release such Guarantee or otherwise give effect to, evidence or confirm such release in accordance with the directions of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor, as the case
may be. 
 SECTION 10.3. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Guarantor shall have paid
more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Note Guarantees, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Issuer or any other Guarantor who has not paid its
proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to
the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. 

  
 110 







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

ARTICLE XI 
 SATISFACTION AND
DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 11.1. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and cease to be of further effect
(except as to surviving rights of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when: 

(a) either: 

(1) all the Notes previously authenticated and delivered (other than lost, stolen or destroyed Notes and Notes for which
provision for payment was previously made and thereafter the funds have been released to the Holders) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(2) all Notes not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will
become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of an unconditional notice of redemption by the Trustee in
the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer; 
 (b) the Issuer has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee,
money in dollars or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, as applicable, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal,
premium, if any, and interest to the date of deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable), or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; provided, that upon any redemption that requires the payment of
the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with
any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption; provided further, that any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the
Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption; 

(c) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; 

(d) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such
notes issued hereunder at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be; and 
 (e) the Issuer has delivered to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent under Article XI relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; provided that any such
counsel may rely on any Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c)). 

  
 111 







 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.1(b), the provisions of Sections 11.2 and 8.6 will survive. 

SECTION 11.2. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.6, all money deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.1(b) shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the
Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.1 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.1; provided that if the
Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money
or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE XII 

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY 

SECTION 12.1. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent. 

(a) By accepting a Note, each Holder will be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to act as its agent
under the Notes Collateral Documents and irrevocably authorized the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to (i) perform the duties and exercise the rights, powers and discretions that are specifically given to it under the Notes Collateral
Documents or other documents to which it is a party, together with any other incidental rights, powers and discretions and (ii) execute each document expressed to be executed by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent on its behalf. The Holders
may not, individually or collectively, take any direct action to enforce the Notes Collateral Documents. The Holders may only act by instruction to the Trustee, which shall instruct the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent subject to the Pari Passu
Intercreditor Agreement. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent will have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Notes Collateral Documents to which it is party. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent will not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Issuer), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Junior-Priority Collateral Agent: 
  

	 	(i)	shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an event of default has occurred and is continuing; 


 

	 	(ii)	shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the Notes Collateral Documents that the
Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is required to exercise; provided that the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Junior-Priority
Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Notes Collateral Document or applicable law; 


  
 112 








	 	(iii)	shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the Notes Collateral Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Issuer or any of its
Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; 

  

	 	(iv)	shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (a) with the consent or at the request of any Priority Agent or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith or
(c) in reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of Holdings or the Issuer stating that such action is permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge
of any event of default under any series of Junior-Priority Obligations unless and until written notice describing such event of default is given to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent by the Representative of such Junior-Priority Obligations or
Holdings or the Issuer; and 

  

	 	(v)	shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with the Intercreditor Agreements or any other Notes Collateral
Document, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any event of default, (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of the Intercreditor Agreements, any other Notes Collateral Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Notes Collateral Documents, (e) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any series of Junior-Priority Obligations, or
(f) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Junior-Priority Debt Document or Notes Collateral Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent.


 The use of the term “agent” herein with reference to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any
fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law other than as a “representative” as such term is used in Section 9-102(a)(72)(E) of the
Uniform Commercial Code. 
 BY ACCEPTING A NOTE EACH HOLDER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE IRREVOCABLY AGREED TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION
12.1(A) AND SHALL BE BOUND BY THOSE AGREEMENTS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. 
 (b) Without limiting the Intercreditor
Agreements, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be subject to such directions as may be properly given it by the Trustee and/or other Representatives from time to time in accordance with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the
other Notes Collateral Documents. Except as directed by the Trustee and/or other Representatives and as expressly required by this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the other Notes Collateral Documents, and in each case subject to the
Intercreditor Agreements, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall not be obligated: 
 (1) to act upon directions
purported to be delivered to it by any other Person; 
 (2) to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien securing the
Notes or any of the Note Guarantees; or 
 (3) to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Liens
securing the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Notes Collateral Documents or with regard to the Collateral. 
 (c) The Junior-Priority
Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered to appoint one or more co-agents or sub-agents or
attorneys-in-fact as it deems necessary or appropriate in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. 

  
 113 







 (d) The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article XII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the
Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent. 
 (e) Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Junior-Priority Collateral Agent as provided below, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Issuer and the Trustee. Upon any such resignation, the Trustee shall have the right, with the
consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Issuer, to appoint a successor; provided that during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (1), (2), (6) or (7) of
Section 6.1(a) consent of the Issuer shall not be required. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Trustee and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Junior-Priority
Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Holders and the Trustee, appoint a successor Junior-Priority Collateral Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New
York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000, or an Affiliate of any such bank that is, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to clause (1), (2), (6) or (7) of Section 6.1(a) shall
have occurred and be continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Issuer. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Junior-Priority Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, and the retiring Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Issuer to a successor Junior-Priority
Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and such successor. After a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Article VII shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while acting as Junior-Priority Collateral Agent. 
 (f) The benefits, protections and indemnities of the Trustee in
Sections 7.2, 7.3 and 7.7 of this Indenture shall apply mutatis mutandi to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent in its capacity as such, including, without limitation, the rights to receive and rely on Officer’s
Certificates and Opinions of Counsel, reimbursement and indemnification. 
 (g) Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Notes, is deemed to
have consented and agreed to the terms of each Notes Collateral Document, as originally in effect and as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time in accordance with its terms or the terms of this Indenture; and authorizes and empowers the
Trustee and (through the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement) the Applicable Authorized Representative to bind the Holders and other holders of Pari Passu Debt Obligations as set forth in the applicable Notes Collateral Documents to which they are a
party and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights and powers thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent or deemed consent shall be deemed or construed to represent an amendment or waiver, in whole or in part, of any
provision of this Indenture or the Notes. 
 (h) Except as contemplated by the Notes Collateral Documents, neither the Trustee nor the
Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, for the validity or sufficiency
of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Issuer or any Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the
Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. 
 SECTION 12.2. Acceptance of Notes Collateral Documents. 

(a) The Trustee and each Holder, by accepting any Notes and the Note Guarantees, acknowledges that, as more fully set forth in the Notes
Collateral Documents, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be for the benefit of all the Holders, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties, and that the Lien granted in the Notes
Collateral Documents relating to the Notes in respect of the Trustee, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, the Holders and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Notes Collateral
Documents and actions that may be taken thereunder. In the event of conflict between an Intercreditor Agreement, any of the other Notes Collateral Documents and this Indenture, the applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall control. 

  
 114 







 SECTION 12.3. Further Assurances. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall, at their sole
expense, take all actions that may be required under applicable law, or that the Trustee or the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and in order to grant,
preserve, protect and perfect the validity and junior-priority status of the security interests created or intended to be created by the Notes Collateral Documents. As necessary, or upon reasonable request of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent,
the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action (including filing Uniform Commercial Code and other financing
statements, mortgages and deeds of trust) as required under this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents. 
 SECTION 12.4.
After-Acquired Property. 
 (a) Subject to Section 12.4(b) and the exceptions and limitations in the Notes
Collateral Documents, if the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any property which is of a type constituting Collateral under any Notes Collateral Document (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Assets), it shall execute and deliver such
security instruments, financing statements and such certificates and opinions of counsel and take all other actions as are required under this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents to vest in the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent a perfected
security interest (subject to Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted by this Indenture) in such after-acquired property and to have such after-acquired property included as part of the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of the Notes
Collateral Documents and this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired property to the same extent and with the same force and effect; provided that no such after-acquired property shall be
required to become Collateral prior to the time, if any, that such property is pledged to secure the Senior-Priority Obligations (other than the ABL Facility Obligations if such property is Non-ABL Priority
Collateral (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement). 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 12.4(a), any requirement to mortgage real property that is acquired after the Issue Date pursuant to Section 12.4(a) shall be limited to real property owned in fee by a Grantor that
(i) has a fair market value equal to or exceeding $10,000,000, (ii) is not subject to a Lien permitted under Section 6.02(c) or (n) of the Credit Agreement (for so long as such Lien exists) and (iii) the Issuer does not intend to
sell within six months of the acquisition thereof pursuant to clause (i) or (x) of Section 6.05(b) of the Credit Agreement or such longer period permitted by the Non-ABL Senior Collateral Agent. No
appraisals, environmental reports or surveys shall be required to be obtained in connection with any mortgage of real property pursuant to Section 12.4(a). The Issuer shall provide such evidence as the Junior-Priority
Collateral Agent shall reasonably request as to the perfection and priority status of each such security interest and Lien. 
 SECTION 12.5.
Real Property Mortgage. The Issuer will complete or cause to be completed on or within five (5) Business Days following the Issue Date all filings and other similar actions required or desirable on its part in connection with the
creation and perfection of such security interests in favor of the Notes and the Note Guarantees. In the case of real property constituting Mortgaged Property, (i) the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the Issue Date, an
Officer’s Certificate certifying (a) that the security interests in all of the Collateral have been perfected other than with respect to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the percentage of aggregate fair market value of the Mortgaged
Property with respect to which mortgages have been duly executed and delivered to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and (c) the steps that have been initiated for purposes of executing and delivering mortgages to the Junior-Priority
Collateral Agent with respect to the remainder of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 180 days after the Issue Date, an Officer’s Certificate certifying that mortgages with respect to at least 90%
in aggregate fair market value of the Mortgaged Property have been duly executed and delivered to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and (iii) the Issuer shall deliver to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent within 180 days of the Issue Date
(as may be extended with respect to up to 10% in aggregate fair market value of the Mortgaged Property as the Issuer determines is reasonably necessary to deliver using commercially reasonable efforts) (a) mortgages securing the Obligations
with respect to the Notes and the Note Guarantees, duly executed and delivered by the Grantor that is the record owner of each applicable Mortgaged Property and otherwise suitable for recording and in form and substance sufficient to grant to the
Junior-Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties a valid mortgage lien on such real property, (b) 

  
 115 







 
title insurance policies, together with customary endorsements, insuring the mortgages to be valid and subsisting liens on the applicable Mortgaged Property described therein, free and clear of
all defects, excepting only Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted by this Indenture, and (c) local counsel opinions, and any other documents reasonably requested by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent in respect of the mortgages;
provided, however, such documents will be substantially similar to those delivered to the Non-ABL Senior Collateral Agent. 

SECTION 12.6. Release. The Liens on the Collateral will be released with respect to the Notes and the Note Guarantees: 

(1) in whole, upon payment in full of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and premium, if any, on the Notes;

 (2) in whole, upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as described under Article XI; 

(3) in whole, upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance as described under Article VIII; 

(4) in part, as to any property or asset constituting Collateral (A) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or deemed
disposed of in a transaction permitted by Section 3.5, (B) that is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor to the extent such Subsidiary Guarantor has been released from its Note Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture or
(C) otherwise in accordance with, and as expressly provided for under, this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents; 

(5) as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements; 

(6) [Reserved]; 

(7) to the extent any particular item of Collateral becomes an Excluded Asset; 

(8) as permitted under Section 3.17; provided that the Liens on the Collateral in favor of the
Notes will be reinstated upon the occurrence of the Reversion Date; or 
 (9) as permitted under Article IX. 

Upon any sale or disposition of Collateral in compliance with this Indenture and the Notes Collateral Documents, the Liens in favor of the
Junior-Priority Collateral Agent on such Collateral and (subject to the provisions described under Section 12.4) all proceeds thereof shall automatically terminate and be released and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent
will execute and deliver such documents and instruments as the Issuer and the Guarantors may request to evidence such termination and release (without recourse or warranty) without the consent of the Holders. 

To the extent required by law, the Issuer will furnish to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the Trustee, prior to each proposed release
of Collateral pursuant to the Notes Collateral Documents and this Indenture, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel and such other documentation as is required by this Indenture. Upon receipt of any such Officer’s Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel, each Trustee shall, or shall cause the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to, promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge all documents, instruments and releases that have been requested to release, reconvey to the Issuer and/or
the Guarantors, as the case may be, such Collateral or otherwise give effect to, evidence or confirm such termination or release in accordance with the directions of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor, as the case may be. 

SECTION 12.7. Enforcement of Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any enforcement of the Note Guarantees or any
remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Notes Collateral Documents is subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements.

than United States dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate
of exchange in The City of New York at which such party on the date of payment of such judgment or order is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such party if such party had utilized
such amount of Judgment Currency to purchase United States dollars as promptly as practicable upon such party’s receipt thereof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer and each Guarantor and
shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into,

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

CHS/COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. 

8.125% Junior-Priority Secured Notes due 2024 

Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. 

 

	1.	Interest 

 CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, promises to pay
interest on the principal amount of this Note at 8.125% per annum from June 22, 20183 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in
arrears every June 30 and December 31 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent
date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from June 22, 20184; provided, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 31, 2018.5 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified herein, and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Each interest period will end on (but not include) the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

 

	2.	Method of Payment 

 By no later than noon (New York City time) on the date on which any
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal, premium and interest when due. Interest on any Note
which is payable, and is timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the preceding June 15 or
December 15, as applicable, at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture. The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable
at the office or agency of Paying Agent or Registrar designated by the Issuer maintained for such purpose (which shall initially be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose), or at such other office or agency of the Issuer as may be
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture; provided, however, that, at the option of the Paying Agent, each installment of interest may be paid by (i) check mailed to addresses
of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Notes Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph. Payments in respect
of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depository. Payments
in respect of Notes represented by Definitive Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) held by a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by Definitive Notes will be made by wire transfer to a
U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than fifteen
(15) days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). If an Interest Payment Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a
Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If a regular record date is a Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected. 

 

	3 	In the case of Notes issued on the Issue Date.

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

 The Issuer initially appoints Regions Bank (the
“Trustee”) as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. The Issuer may change any Registrar or Paying Agent without prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any Guarantor may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent. 

 

	4.	Indenture 

 The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 22, 2018 (as
it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto, the Trustee and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes
include those stated in the Indenture and those specific provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Act”) expressly referenced in the provisions
of the Indenture. The Act shall not otherwise be applicable to, or govern, the Indenture or the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those
terms. 
  

	5.	Guarantees 

 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest

be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantors will unconditionally guarantee (and future guarantors, jointly and severally with the Guarantors, will fully
and unconditionally Guarantee) such obligations on a senior secured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
  

	6.	Optional Redemption 

 (a) At any time and from time to time on or after the Issue Date
and prior to June 30, 2021, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at its option, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. 
 (b) At any
time and from time to time on or after June 30, 2021, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price equal to the percentage of principal amount set forth
below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 30 of the years indicated below: 

 

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2021

	 2022
	  	 	102.031	% 
	 2023 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (c) At any time and from time to time on or after the Issue Date and prior to June 30, 2021, the Issuer
may redeem Notes with the net cash proceeds received by the Issuer from any Equity Offering (other than Excluded Contributions) at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) equal to 108.125% plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, in an aggregate principal amount for all such redemptions not to exceed 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes); provided that: 

 

	 	(1)	in each case the redemption takes place not later than 180 days after the closing of the related Equity Offering; and 

  

	 	(2)	not less than 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued under the Indenture on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes originally issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date
remains outstanding immediately thereafter (excluding Notes held by Holdings, Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries). 


  
 A-5 







 (e) Any redemption and notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to
the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent (including, in the case of a redemption related to an Equity Offering, the consummation of such Equity Offering). 

(f) If the optional redemption date is on or after a record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid
interest will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Issuer. 

(g) Unless (i) the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price or (ii) such redemption remains conditioned on the
happening of a future event, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 

(h) Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 6 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.1
through 5.6 of the Indenture. 
  

	7.	Mandatory Redemption 

 (a) If the Notes would otherwise constitute “applicable high
yield discount obligations” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, at each AHYDO Redemption Date, the Issuer shall redeem for cash a portion of each Note then outstanding equal to the Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount.
The Mandatory Redemption Price for the portion of each Note redeemed pursuant to a Mandatory Principal Redemption shall equal 100% of the principal amount of such portion plus any accrued interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
No partial redemption or repurchase of the Notes prior to any AHYDO Redemption Date pursuant to any provision of the Indenture other than Section 5.8(a) will alter the Issuer’s obligation to make a Mandatory Principal
Redemption with respect to any Notes that remain outstanding on any AHYDO Redemption Date. 
 (b) Except with respect to any Mandatory
Principal Redemption pursuant to Section 5.8(a) of the Indenture, the Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemptions or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that under
certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase Notes under Section 3.5 and Section 3.9 of the Indenture. The Issuer may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in
the open market or otherwise. 
  

	8.	Repurchase Provisions 

 If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously
or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Indenture that is or has become unconditional, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to
repurchase from each Holder all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, 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 as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the
Indenture. 
 Upon certain Asset Dispositions, the Issuer may be required to use the Excess Proceeds from such Asset Dispositions to offer
to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and, at the Issuer’s option, Pari Passu Debt Obligations (and, only to the extent the Excess Proceeds are greater than the outstanding Pari Passu Debt Obligations, Senior Indebtedness)
that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 3.5 and in Article V of the Indenture. 

  
 A-6 








	9.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

 The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered
form in minimum denominations of principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (A) for a period
beginning (1) fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (2) fifteen (15) days before an Interest Payment Date and

it for all purposes. 
  

	11.	Discharge and Defeasance 

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

	12.	Amendment, Supplement, Waiver 

 Subject to certain exceptions contained in the Indenture,
Note Documents may be amended, or a Default thereunder may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase, or tender offer or
exchange offer for, such Notes). Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and, if applicable, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may amend or supplement the Note Documents as provided in the
Indenture. 
  

	13.	Defaults and Remedies 

 Except as provided otherwise in the Indenture, if an Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or Holdings) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 30% in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such
principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. If a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or Holdings occurs and is continuing, the principal of, certain redemption premiums, if applicable,
and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and any other monetary obligations on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances,
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. 
  

	14.	Trustee Dealings with the Issuer 

 Subject to certain limitations set forth in the
Indenture, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. In addition,
the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Issuer; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest under the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within
90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest or (ii) resign. 

  
 A-7 








	15.	No Recourse Against Others 

 No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
manager, partner, incorporator or shareholder of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as such (other than the Issuer and the Guarantors), shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under any Note
Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the
Notes.
