 “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means the
ratio of Consolidated EBITDA of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the most recent four consecutive full fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available (the “Four-Quarter Period”) ending on or prior to
the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (the “Transaction Date”) to Consolidated Fixed Charges of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the Four-Quarter
Period. 
 For purposes of this definition, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Fixed Charges shall be calculated after giving effect on a
pro forma basis for the period of such calculation to the incurrence of any Indebtedness or the issuance of any Preferred Stock of the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary (and the application of the proceeds thereof) and any repayment of
Indebtedness or redemption of Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock (and the application of the proceeds therefrom) occurring during the Four-Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four-Quarter Period and on or
prior to the Transaction Date, as if such incurrence, repayment, issuance or redemption, as the case may be (and the application of the proceeds thereof), occurred on the first day of the Four-Quarter Period. 

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and discontinued
operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and operational changes (including price increases), that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has both determined to make
and made after the Issue Date and during the Four-Quarter Period or subsequent to such period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Transaction Date (each, for purposes of this definition, a “pro forma event”) shall be
calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations, discontinued operations and operational changes (including price increases to the extent permitted by the definition of
Consolidated EBITDA) (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the Four-Quarter Period. If, since the beginning of such Fourth-Quarter
Period, any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof since the beginning of such period shall have made or effected any investment, acquisition, disposition,
merger, consolidation or discontinued operation, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, or operational change (including price increases to the extent permitted by the 

  
 -9- 







 
definition of Consolidated EBITDA) that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect
thereto for such period as if such investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, discontinued operation, or operational change had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. 

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in
good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to the extent identifiable and supportable. Any such pro forma calculation may include, without duplication, adjustments appropriate to reflect cost savings, operating expense
reductions, operational changes (including price increases to the extent permitted by the definition of Consolidated EBITDA), restructuring charges and expenses and synergies reasonably expected to result from the applicable event to the extent set
forth in the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”. 
 In calculating Consolidated Fixed Charges for purposes of determining the
denominator (but not the numerator) of this Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio: 
 (1) interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined
on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in effect on the Transaction Date
(although interest with respect to any Indebtedness for periods while the same was actually outstanding during the respective period shall be calculated using the actual rates applicable thereto while the same was actually outstanding); 

(2) if interest on any Indebtedness actually outstanding on the Transaction Date 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 rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four-Quarter Period (although interest with respect
to any Indebtedness for periods while the same was actually outstanding during the respective period shall be calculated using the actual rates applicable thereto while the same was actually outstanding); and 

(3) notwithstanding clause (1) or (2) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is
covered by agreements relating to Hedging Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of these agreements. 

“Consolidated Fixed Charges” means, for any period, the sum of 

(1) Consolidated Interest Expense of such Person for such period, and

 (2) all cash dividend payments (excluding items eliminated in consolidation) on any series of

Liabilities from Equity—Overall—Recognition” to any series of Preferred Stock other than Disqualified Equity Interests or (ii) the application of Accounting Standards Codification Topic
470-20 “Debt—Debt with Conversion Options—Recognition,” in each case, shall be disregarded in the calculation of Consolidated Fixed Charges.

(1) consolidated interest expense of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, to the extent such expense was deducted (and

respect to letters of credit or bankers acceptances, (c) non-cash interest payments (but excluding any non-cash interest expense attributable to the movement in the
mark to market valuation of Hedging Obligations or other derivative instruments pursuant to GAAP), (d) the interest component of Capitalized Lease Obligations, and (e) net payments and receipts (if any) pursuant to interest rate Hedging
Obligations with respect to Indebtedness, and excluding (t) any expense resulting from the discounting of any Indebtedness in connection with the application of purchase accounting in connection with any acquisition, (u) penalties and
interest relating to taxes, (v) any “additional interest” or “penalty interest” with respect to any securities, (w) any accretion or accrued interest of discounted liabilities, (x) amortization of deferred
financing fees, debt issuance costs, commissions, fees and expenses and (y) any expensing of bridge, commitment and other financing fees; plus 

(2) consolidated capitalized interest of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries for such period, whether paid or accrued; less 

(3) interest income for such period; 

provided that, for purposes of calculating Consolidated Interest Expense, no effect shall be given to the discount and/or premium
resulting from the bifurcation of derivatives under FASB ASC 815 and related interpretations as a result of the terms of the Indebtedness to which such Consolidated Interest Expense relates. 

  
 -11- 







 For purposes of this definition, 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. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any additional charges arising from (i) the application of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 480-10-25-4 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity— Overall—Recognition” to any series of Preferred Stock other

outside the ordinary course of business (including in a Sale and Leaseback Transaction) by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period.

continuance of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2), upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith all money so held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon
making such payment, such Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

 SECTION 2.06. Noteholder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses
of the Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as
of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Noteholders. 
 SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. 

Subject to Sections 2.16 and 2.17, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request from the Holder of such Notes to register a
transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorneys duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges,
the Issuer shall issue and execute and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes (and the Guarantors shall execute the Guarantees thereon) evidencing such transfer or
exchange at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made to the Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange. The Issuer or the Trustee may require from the Noteholder payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer
taxes or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.06, 4.08, 4.09 or 8.05 (in which events the Issuer shall be responsible
for the payment of such taxes). The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the mailing of notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or of any Note selected,
called or being called for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 Any Holder of a Global Note
shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of the beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a
beneficial interest in the Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth
in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. 
 The
transferor of any Note shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations
under Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.

 SECTION 2.08. Replacement Notes. 

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed
or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note (and the Guarantors shall execute the Guarantees thereon) if the Holder
of such Note furnishes to the Issuer and the Trustee evidence reasonably acceptable to them of the ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the
New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of this Indenture are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity or security shall be provided by the Holder sufficient in the judgment of all to protect the Issuer, the
Guarantors, the Trustee, the Registrar and any Paying Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge such Holder for the Issuer’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Note and the Trustee may charge the Issuer for the Trustee’s reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in replacing such Note and may require the payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax, assessment, fee or other charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses
of the Trustee) connected therewith. Every replacement Note shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer. The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement or payment of lost, destroyed, mutilated or wrongfully taken Notes. 
 SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Notes. 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for (a) those canceled by or on behalf
of the Trustee, (b) those accepted by the Trustee for cancellation, (c) those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, (d) to the extent set forth in
Sections 9.01, 9.02 and 9.03, on or after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 9.01, 9.02 or 9.03 have been satisfied, those Notes theretofore authenticated by the Trustee hereunder and (e) those described in this
Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or one of its Affiliates holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to the Trustee
and the Issuer that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer. 

If a Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date, Redemption Date or purchase date, U.S. Dollars sufficient to pay all
accrued and unpaid interest and principal with respect to the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes shall cease
to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue. 

  
 -36- 







 SECTION 2.10. Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any declaration of acceleration or notice of
default or direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Issuer or any other Affiliate of the Issuer shall be disregarded as though they were not outstanding, except that for the
purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actually received an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee established to the satisfaction of the Trustee
the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer, a Guarantor, any other obligor on the Notes or any of their respective Affiliates. 

SECTION 2.11. Temporary Notes. 
 Until
definitive Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in
the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.01,
the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes. 

SECTION 2.12. 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 shall cancel all Notes
surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Notes in its customary manner. The Issuer may not reissue or resell or issue new Notes to replace Notes that the Issuer has
redeemed or paid, or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

  
 -37- 







 SECTION 2.13. Defaulted Interest. 

If the Issuer defaults on a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes plus (to the
extent permitted by law) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Persons who are Holders thereof on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the
payment date. If such default continues for thirty (30) days, the Issuer shall fix such special record date and payment date in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee. At least 10 days before such special record date, the Issuer (or upon the
written request of the Issuer, the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail to each affected Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest
payable on defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. The Issuer may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) 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 sentence, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. If the
Issuer elects for the Trustee to send such notice to the Holders then the Issuer shall provide such notice to the Trustee at least five (5) days (or such shorter time as may be agreed by the Trustee in its discretion) before such notice is
required to be mailed to the Holders. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.01(1) shall be paid to Holders as of the record date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been paid. 

SECTION 2.14. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. 

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers, and if so used, such CUSIP and ISIN numbers shall be
included in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, that reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP or ISIN numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of any such CUSIP
or ISIN number used by the Issuer in connection with the issuance of the Notes and of any change in any such CUSIP or ISIN number. In the case of any Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such
Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN number from the Notes. 

  
 -38- 







 SECTION 2.15. Deposit of Moneys. 

Prior to noon, New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in
immediately available funds U.S. Dollars sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits such Paying Agents to remit payment to the Holders on such
Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The principal and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Notes
represented thereby. The principal and interest on Physical Notes shall be payable, either in person, by wire transfer or by mail, at the office of the Paying Agent. Final payment of principal at maturity will only be made by the Trustee upon
surrender of the related Note to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office. 
 SECTION 2.16. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. 

(a) Rule 144A Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the
“Rule 144A Global Note”). Regulation S Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Regulation S Global Note”). The term
“Global Notes” means the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note. The Global Notes shall bear the Global Note Legend. The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository or the
nominee of such Depository, in each case for credit to an account of an Agent Member, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear the Private Placement Legend. 

Members of, or direct or indirect participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture
with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or under the Global Notes. The Depository may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Notes for all
purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Registrar shall have
any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depository with respect to such Global Note, for the records of the Depository, including records in respect of the beneficial owners of any such Global Note, for any transactions
between the Depository and any Agent Member or between or among the Depository, any such Agent Member and/or any Holder or beneficial owner of such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note. 

(b) Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective
nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes only in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.17. In addition, a
Global Note shall be exchangeable for Physical Notes (i) if 

  
 -39- 







 
requested by a holder of such interests upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from the Depository or its nominee on behalf of any beneficial owner and in accordance with the rules
and procedures of the Depository and provisions of this Section 2.16 or (ii) if the Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note and the Issuer thereupon fail to appoint a
successor depository within 120 days or (iii) if the Depository has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act or (iv) if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global
Note and the Depository has requested such exchange. In all cases, Physical Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or
on behalf of the Depository in accordance with its customary procedures. 
 (c) In connection with the transfer of a Global Note as an
entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.16, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in
accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of
Physical Notes of authorized denominations. 
 (d) Any Restricted Physical Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note
pursuant to Section 2.17 shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17, bear the Private Placement Legend. 
 (e) The Holder
of any 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. 

SECTION 2.17. Transfer and Exchange of Notes. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except as set forth in Section 2.16(b).
Global Notes will not be exchanged by the Issuer for Physical Notes except under the circumstances described in Section in Section 2.16(b). Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.08 and
2.11. Beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(f). 
 (b)
Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the
applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. Beneficial interests in Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the


  
 -40- 







 
Securities Act. Beneficial interests in Global Notes shall be transferred or exchanged only for beneficial interests in Global Notes. Transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in the Global
Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 

(i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be
transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that
prior to the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes represented by a Regulation S Global Note and the issue date of such Notes (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted
Period”), transfers of beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). A beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described
in this Section 2.17(b)(i). 
 (ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In
connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in any Global Note that is not subject to Section 2.17(b)(i), the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar (1) a written order from an Agent
Member given to the Depository in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository directing the Depository to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial
interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository containing information regarding the Agent Member account to be credited with such increase. Upon
satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to
Section 2.17(f). 
 (iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial
interest in a Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.17(b)(ii) above
and the Registrar receives the following: 
 (A) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in
a Rule 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit F, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and 

  
 -41- 







 (B) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in
a Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit F, including the certifications in item (2) thereof.

Global Note. A beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.17(b)(ii) above and the Registrar receives the following: 

(A) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a
beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit G, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or 

(B) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a
Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit F, including the certifications in item (4) thereof,

 and, in each such case, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer
is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act. If any such transfer or exchange is
effected pursuant to this subparagraph (iv) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall
authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred or exchanged pursuant to this subparagraph (iv). 

(v) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in a Restricted
Global Note. Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note. 

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for Physical Notes. A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be
exchanged for a Physical Note except under the circumstances described in Section 2.16(b). A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Physical Note except under the

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.

 ARTICLE THREE

 REDEMPTION 
 SECTION 3.01. Election To
Redeem; Notices to Trustee. 
 If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes, at least 2 Business Days (or
such shorter time period as the Trustee may agree) before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 but not more than 65 days before the Redemption Date (except as set forth in the last
paragraph of Section 3.03), the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (a) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (b) the principal amount of
Notes to be redeemed, (c) the Redemption Date and (d) the redemption price(s) (or manner of calculation if not then known). 
 SECTION 3.02.
Selection by Trustee of Notes To Be Redeemed or Purchased. 
 If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased at any
time, selection of Notes for redemption or purchase will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes to be redeemed or purchased are listed or, if the Notes are
not so listed, on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, the Notes will be selected for redemption or purchase based on the Depository’s applicable procedures). Such Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless
otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date or the purchase date from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected
for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that no Notes with a
principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed or purchased in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, 

  
 -48- 







 
the entire outstanding amount of Notes of such series held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. For all purposes of this Indenture unless the context
otherwise requires and except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 

If any Note is to be redeemed or purchased in part only, the notice of redemption or offer to purchase that relates to such Note shall state
the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. With respect to Physical Notes, a new Physical Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the original Physical Note will be issued in the name
of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note; provided that any new Notes will be only issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. On and after the redemption or purchase
date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes or portions thereof called for redemption or purchase. Redemption or purchase price shall only be paid upon presentation and surrender of any such Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 
 At
least 30 days but, except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 3.03, no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date or purchase date, the Issuer shall send, or cause to be sent, a notice of redemption electronically or by
first-class mail to each Holder to be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.06 or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, except
that redemption notices may be delivered or mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 9. Notice of redemption may be conditional. 

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers thereof) and shall state: 

(1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the redemption price and the amount of premium (or manner of calculation if not then known), if any, and accrued and unpaid
interest to be paid; 
 (3) if any Note is being redeemed or purchased in part, the portion of the principal amount of such
Note to be redeemed or purchased and that, with respect to Physical Notes, after the Redemption Date and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the original Note
representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or repurchased will be issued in the name of the Holder of such Notes upon cancellation of the original Note; provided that the new Notes will be only issued in minimum
denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 

  
 -49- 







 (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 the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue
on and after the Redemption Date; 
 (7) that paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes called for
redemption are being redeemed; 
 (8) the aggregate principal amount of Notes that are being redeemed; 

(9) any condition to such redemption; and 

(10) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN numbers printed in the notice or on
the Notes. 
 A notice of redemption need not set forth the exact redemption price but only the manner of calculation thereof. 

At the Issuer’s written request, in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, made at least 2 Business Days prior to the date on which
notice is to be given (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), together with the notice of redemption to be given, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s sole expense.

 Notice of any redemption of, or any offer to purchase, the Notes may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given subject to one or more
conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption or purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion,
the Redemption Date or the purchase date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption or offer to purchase 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 notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date or the purchase date or by the Redemption
Date or the purchase date as so delayed, or such notice or offer may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if the Issuer reasonably believes that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. If any such


  
 -50- 







 
condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date (or such shorter
period as may be acceptable to the Trustee). Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption shall be rescinded or delayed, and the redemption of the notes shall be rescinded or delayed as provided in such notice. Upon receipt, the Trustee
shall provide such notice to each Holder in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption or purchase price and performance of the Issuer’s
obligations with respect to such redemption or offer to purchase may be performed by another Person. 
 SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption or
Purchase. 
 Once a notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 is sent (including electronically) and subject to the proviso to
this sentence, Notes called for redemption or purchase become due and payable on the Redemption Date or purchase date, as applicable, and at the redemption price or purchase price, as applicable, including any premium, plus interest accrued and
unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date or purchase date; provided, however, that any redemption or purchase and notice or offer thereof pursuant to this Indenture may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the
satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in such notice and in which case if and/or to the extent such condition(s) precedent is/are not satisfied the Issuer shall have no obligation to redeem or purchase Notes on such Redemption
Date or purchase date. The notice, if sent in a manner herein provided (including electronically), shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any
defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption or purchase in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption or purchase of any other Note or portions thereof. Upon surrender to the
Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price or the purchase price, as the case may be, including any premium, plus interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date or purchase date and such Notes shall be
cancelled by the Trustee; provided that if the Redemption Date or purchase date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable to the Holder registered on
the relevant record date; and provided, further, that if a Redemption Date or purchase date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption
Date or purchase to such succeeding Business Day. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the Redemption Date or purchase date, as the case may be, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption or purchase.


  
 -51- 







 SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

On or prior to 11 a.m., New York City time (or such later time as the Trustee may agree), on each Redemption Date or purchase date, the Issuer
shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Dollars sufficient to pay the redemption price or purchase price of, including premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any and all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date (other
than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption or purchase on that date which have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation). The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall 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 price or purchase price of, including premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any and all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. 

On and after any Redemption Date or purchase date, as the case may be, if money sufficient to pay the redemption price or purchase price of,
including premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes called for redemption or purchase shall have been made available in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Notes called for redemption or purchase
will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price or purchase price of and, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or after the Redemption Date or purchase date, as the case may be, accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to the Redemption Date or purchase date. If any Note surrendered for redemption or purchase
shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date or purchase date, as the case may be, until such redemption or purchase payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any
interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the Notes. 
 SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed or
Purchased in Part. 
 Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness
to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note will be issued in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture
to the contrary, only an Officer’s Certificate and not an Opinion of Counsel is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. 
 SECTION
3.07. Mandatory Redemption; Open Market Purchases.  
 Subject to Sections 4.08 and 4.09, the Issuer shall not
be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. The Issuer and its Affiliates may acquire Notes at any time and from time to time by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market
purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

applicable procedures. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or the Paying Agents hold by noon, New York City time, on that date U.S. Dollars designated for and sufficient to pay such
installment. If an Interest Payment Date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal (including post-petition interest in a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law), and overdue
interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate specified in the Notes. 
 SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

an Affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The designated office
of the Trustee shall be such office or agency of the Issuer in the City of New York, unless the Issuer shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any change in the location of 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, surrenders, notices and
demands (but not service of process) 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, surrenders, notices and demands. 

(b) The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for
any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Issuer and each such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the material rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Issuer and such Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right,
franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries if the Board of Directors of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the
business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to change their organizational form. 

SECTION 4.04. [Reserved]. 
 SECTION 4.05.
Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. 
 The Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
that they shall not at any time insist upon, or plead (as a defense or otherwise) or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law which would prohibit or forgive the Issuer and the
Guarantors from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, and/or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of
this Indenture; and (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that they will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

such Officer has conducted or supervised a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and the Issuer’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ performance under this Indenture during such Fiscal Year, and further
stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that, to the best of such Officer’s knowledge, based upon such review, the Issuer has fulfilled all obligations under this Indenture or, if there has been a Default under this Indenture that
is continuing, a description of such Default of which such Officer has knowledge and what action the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are taking or propose to take with respect thereto. 

(b) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 Business Days after an executive officer of the Issuer becomes aware of any Default or
Event of Default, an Officer’s certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default. 
 SECTION 4.07. Taxes.

The Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all material taxes, assessments, and
governmental levies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that, neither the Issuer nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be
required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or where failure to effect such payment is
not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. 
 SECTION 4.08. Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or
any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash (the “Change of

Notes if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the expiration time of the Change of Control Offer, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder tendered
for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Note purchased;

new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided, however, each new Note issued shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

been satisfied by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed; and

 SECTION 4.09. Limitation on Asset Disposition. 

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless:

 (1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at least equal to the fair market value (such fair
market value to be determined in good faith by the Issuer on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) of the assets subject to such Asset Disposition; 

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Disposition received by the
Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents, Additional Assets or any combination thereof (collectively, the “Cash Consideration”); and 

(3) within 450 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of the Net Available Cash from such
Asset Disposition, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Issuer, at its option (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be): 

(A) to the extent the Issuer elects (or is required by the terms of any applicable Indebtedness), to prepay, repay, redeem or
purchase Secured Debt of the Issuer or any Guarantor or Indebtedness of a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer), provided that such prepayment, repayment,
redemption or purchase permanently retires, or reduces the related loan commitment (if any) (other than commitments in respect of any asset based credit facility to the extent the assets sold or otherwise disposed of in connection with such Asset
Disposition constituted “borrowing base assets”) for, such Indebtedness in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, redeemed or purchased; 

(B) to the extent the Issuer elects (or is required by the terms of any applicable Indebtedness), to prepay, repay, redeem or
purchase any senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor (other than Indebtedness referred to in clause (A) above or owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer), provided such prepayment, repayment, redemption or purchase
permanently retires, or reduces the related loan commitment (if any) (other than commitments in respect of any asset-based credit facility to the extent the assets sold or otherwise disposed of in connection
with such Asset Disposition constituted “borrowing base assets”) for, such Indebtedness in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, redeemed or purchased; provided, further, that the Issuer or such
Subsidiary will either (i) reduce the aggregate 

  
 -59- 







 
principal amount of the Notes on an equal or ratable basis with any senior Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause (B) by, at its option, (x) redeeming Notes as provided under
paragraph 5 of the Notes and/or (y) purchasing Notes through open-market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions and/or (ii) make an offer (in accordance with the provisions set forth below
for an Offer) to all Holders to purchase the Notes on an equal or ratable basis with any senior Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause (B) (which offer shall be deemed to be an Offer for purposes hereof); 

(C) to the extent the Issuer elects, to invest in the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, including acquiring
Additional Assets or making any other capital expenditures; provided that this requirement shall be deemed satisfied if the Issuer by the end of such 450-day period has entered into a binding agreement under
which it is contractually committed to acquire Additional Assets, make any other capital expenditures or investments and such acquisition, capital expenditure or investment is consummated within the later of the end of such 450-day period and within 180 days from the date on which such binding agreement is entered into; or 

(D) any combination of the foregoing. 

(b) For the purposes of this Section 4.09, the following are deemed to be Cash Consideration: 

(1) the greater of the principal amount and the carrying value of any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or any
Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred, accrued or increased subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the balance sheet of the Issuer
or such Restricted Subsidiary or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence, accrual or increase had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Issuer) (other than contingent liabilities) that are
assumed by the transferee of any such assets (or are otherwise extinguished in connection with the transactions relating to such Asset Disposition) pursuant to a written agreement which releases or indemnifies the Issuer or such Restricted
Subsidiary from such liabilities; 
 (2) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash or Cash Equivalents, in each case, within 180 days after
such Asset Disposition, to the extent of the cash and Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; and 

  
 -60- 







 (3) any Designated Non-cash Consideration
received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant
to this clause that has at that time not been converted into cash or Cash Equivalents, not to exceed the greater of $100.0 million and 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition (with the
fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time of contractually agreeing to the related Asset Disposition and without giving effect to subsequent changes in
value). 
 (c) The amount of Net Available Cash not applied or invested as provided above will constitute “Excess
Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $100.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase Notes (an “Offer”) within 20 Business Days thereof, and shall purchase the aggregate principal
amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Notes tendered pursuant to an Offer and other Pari Passu Indebtedness that requires the purchase, prepayment or redemption of such Indebtedness that is, in the case of the Notes only, equal to $1,000 or
an integral multiple thereof, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at a purchase price, in the case of the Notes only, of 100% of their principal amount without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase
date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or after the purchase date) (or, in respect of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser
price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture and the terms of such other Pari Passu
Indebtedness. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to such Excess Proceeds from an Asset Disposition by making an Offer in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture (an “Advance Offer”) with
respect to all or part of the available Excess Proceeds (the “Advance Portion”). 
 If any Excess Proceeds remain after
consummation of an Offer and the contemporaneous offer with respect to any other Pari Passu Indebtedness contemplated above, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate
principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Issuer shall allocate the
Excess Proceeds between the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis but with such adjustments as necessary so that no Notes or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, will be repurchased in an unauthorized denomination and
will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis but in denominations of $1,000 principal amount or integral multiples thereof. The remainder of the Excess Proceeds allocable to the other Pari Passu Indebtedness will be repurchased as
provided pursuant to the terms of such Indebtedness. Upon completion of such an Offer to purchase, Excess Proceeds will be deemed to be reset to zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion) and in the
case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of Excess Proceeds. 

  
 -61- 







 Pending application of an amount equal to the Net Available Cash pursuant to Section 4.09,
such Net Available Cash may be applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit Indebtedness (including under the ABL Credit Facility) or in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 

(d) The Issuer shall 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 and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.09, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of its
compliance with such securities laws or regulations. 
 (e) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.09, any purchase
pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06. 
 (f) The provision of this
Section 4.09 relating to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of an Asset Disposition may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
then outstanding Notes. 
 SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

thereof; 
 (b) after giving effect to such Restricted Payment (including, without limitation, the incurrence of any
Indebtedness to finance such Restricted Payment), the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be less than 2:00 to 1:00; or 

(c) the amount of such Restricted Payment, when added to the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made since the

“Restricted Payments Basket”) of (without duplication): 
 (1) 50% of Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer
and its Subsidiaries determined in accordance with GAAP for the period (taken as one accounting period) commencing on April 1, 2018 to and including the last day of the fiscal quarter ended immediately prior to the date of such calculation for
which consolidated financial statements are available (or, if such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such aggregate deficit), plus

value of property and marketable securities are actually contributed to the Issuer) since the Issue Date or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Parent Entity (to the extent such
net cash proceeds and fair market value of property and marketable securities are actually contributed to the Issuer) or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Issuer or any Parent Entity (to the extent such net cash proceeds and fair
market value of property and marketable securities are actually contributed to the Issuer), in each case that have been converted into or exchanged for Qualified Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Parent Entity, other than (A) any such
proceeds which are used to redeem Notes in accordance with the second paragraph under paragraph 5 of the Notes or (B) any such proceeds or assets received from a Subsidiary of the Issuer, plus 

(3) 100% of the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Issuer, of property and
marketable securities contributed to the capital of the Issuer, or that becomes part of the capital of the Issuer through consolidation or merger following the Issue Date, plus 

(4) the aggregate amount by which Indebtedness (other than any Subordinated Indebtedness) incurred by the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary since the Issue Date is reduced on the Issuer’s balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a Restricted Subsidiary) into Qualified Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Parent Entity (less the amount of
any cash, or the fair value of assets, distributed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange), plus

Indebtedness issued by the Issuer or any Parent Entity in connection with such repurchase, retirement or other acquisition); provided that the aggregate cash consideration paid for all such redemptions shall not exceed
(A) $15.0 million during any calendar year (with unused amounts being available to be used in the following two calendar years) plus (B) the amount of any net cash proceeds received by the Issuer from the issuance and sale
after the Issue Date of Qualified Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Parent Entity to future, present or former officers, directors, employees, managers or consultants (or their transferees, estates or beneficiaries under their estates) of the

 -65- 







 (l) [Reserved]; or 

(m) other Restricted Payments if, at the time of the making of such payments, and after giving effect thereto (including,
without limitation, the incurrence of any Indebtedness to finance such payment), the Total Net Leverage Ratio would not exceed 3.75 to 1.00, 

provided that (x) in the case of any Restricted Payment pursuant to clauses (f), (g) and (m) above, no Default shall have occurred and be

event that a proposed Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in the preceding clauses (a) through (m) above and/or is entitled to be made pursuant to
the first paragraph of this Section 4.10, the Issuer will be entitled to divide or classify (or later divide, classify or reclassify in whole or in part in their sole discretion) such Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) among such
clauses (a) through (m) and/or such first paragraph, in a manner that otherwise complies with this Section 4.10 and following such reclassification such Restricted Payment shall be treated as having been made pursuant to only the
clause or clauses (or portions thereof) to which such Restricted Payment has been reclassified. 
 The amount of all Restricted Payments
(other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Issuer or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. 

The Issuer will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the definition of
“Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so
designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time
under this Section 4.10 and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this
Indenture.

Items 1.01, 1.02. 1.03, 2.01, 2.02, 2.05, 2.06, 4.01, 4.02, 5.01 and 5.02 (other than with respect to information otherwise required or contemplated by Item 402 of Regulation S-K) as in effect
on the Issue Date if the Issuer were required to file such reports; provided, however, that no such current report will be required to include as an exhibit, or to include a summary of the terms of, any employment or compensatory
arrangement agreement, plan or understanding between the Issuer (or any of its Subsidiaries) and any director, manager or executive officer, of the Issuer (or any of its Subsidiaries), 

in each case, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (and, during any period in which the Issuer is not required to
file reports with the Commission, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations applicable to a “non-accelerated filer”); provided, however, that
(i) in no event shall such reports be required to comply with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission or contain separate financial
statements for the Issuer, the Guarantors or other Subsidiaries the shares of which are pledged to secure the Notes or any Guarantee that would be required under(a) Section 3-09 of Regulation S-X, (b) Section 3-10 of Regulation S-X or
(c) Section 3-16 of Regulation S-X, respectively, promulgated by the Commission. 

  
 -73- 







 (b) The Issuer will make all such information available to the Trustee and the Holders of the
Notes, in each case, by posting such information on its website, on Intralinks or any comparable password-protected online data system which will require a confidentiality acknowledgment. In addition, the Issuer shall, for so long as any Notes
remain outstanding, furnish to the Holders of such Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are
not freely transferable under the Securities Act. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Issuer is permitted to satisfy its obligations in this
Section 4.16 with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to any Parent Entity; provided that if such Parent Entity has any material assets other than its direct or indirect
Equity Interests of the Issuer, the same is accompanied by selected financial metrics, which may be unaudited, that show the differences (in the Issuer’s sole discretion) between the information relating to such Parent Entity, on the one hand,
and the information relating to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, on the other hand. 
 (c) The Issuer will be deemed
to have furnished the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 4.16(a) if the Issuer or any Parent Entity has filed reports containing such information (or any such information of a Parent Entity in accordance with the
immediately preceding paragraph) with the Commission. The terms of the Indenture shall not impose any duty on the Issuer under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related Commission rules that would not otherwise be applicable to it. 

(d) Delivery of such reports and information to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of them
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 is entitled to rely
exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the filing, timeliness or content of reports. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations under this
Section 4.16 for purposes of clause (4) under Section 6.01 until 90 days after the date any report hereunder is due. 
 SECTION 4.17.
Additional Note Guarantees. 
 If, on or after the Issue Date, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates
another Domestic Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary, then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary must become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit J to this Indenture within 30
Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable. 

  
 -74- 







 SECTION 4.18. Suspension of Covenants. 

(a) If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no
Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), then beginning on such
date, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 4.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 4.17 hereof (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). 

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event (the date of such occurrence, the “Suspension Date”), the amount of
Excess Proceeds from any Asset Disposition shall be reset at zero. In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent
date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries
will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. The period of time between (and including) the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date (but excluding the Reversion Date) is referred to in this description as
the “Suspension Period.” 
 (c) In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of Default with respect to Notes. With respect to Restricted Payments made on or after the Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made will
be calculated as though Section 4.10 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. No Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be required to comply with Section 4.17 on or after the Reversion Date with respect to any guarantee
entered into by such Restricted Subsidiary during the Suspension Period. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the continued existence after any reinstitution of the foregoing covenants of facts and circumstances or obligations arising from
transactions that occurred during the Suspension Period shall not constitute a breach of any covenant set forth in this Indenture or cause a Default or an Event of Default thereunder. Following a Reversion Date, the Issuer and its Restricted
Subsidiaries 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 the Suspension Period and to consummate the transactions thereby.

 (d) The Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate identifying any Covenant Suspension Event, including
the relevant Suspension Date, and an Officer’s Certificate identifying any Reversion Date. The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any


  
 -75- 







 
determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Issuer’s future compliance with their covenants or (iii) notify the Holders of any Covenant
Suspension Event, Suspension Date or Reversion Date. The Trustee may deliver a copy of any such Officer’s Certificate to the Holders upon request.

(a) (i) The Issuer will not consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or Transfer all or substantially all of the properties or
assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole and (ii) the Issuer will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, Transfer all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case, to, another Person unless: 
 (1)
the Issuer shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor shall be a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust organized and existing under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, the District of Columbia or any
territory thereof, and the successor Person expressly assumes by a supplemental indenture or amendment of the relevant documents (in form satisfactory to the Trustee) the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture; and 

(2) after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing. 

The Issuer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect
that such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, lease or other disposition complies with the requirements of this Indenture. 

This Section 5.01 will not apply to any merger, consolidation or combination of, or any Transfer of assets between or among the Issuer
and any one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among, any one or more of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries. Clause (2) of Section 5.01(a) (and the requirement to deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel) shall not apply to (1) any merger or consolidation of the Issuer with or into, or Transfer of all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to one of its Restricted
Subsidiaries for any purpose or (2) any merger or consolidation of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in another jurisdiction.

 SECTION 5.02. Successor Person Substituted. 

Upon any consolidation, combination or merger of the Issuer, or any Transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of Section 5.01, in which the Issuer is not the continuing obligor under the Notes, (x) the surviving entity (i) formed by such consolidation or into which
the Issuer is merged, (ii) to which such Transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, (y) such surviving entity shall expressly
assume the rights, covenants and obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes by a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered by such surviving entity prior to or simultaneously with such
consolidation, combination, merger or Transfer, and (z) in the case of a Transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer under this
Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named therein as the Issuer and, the Issuer and all of the Guarantors will be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on such Notes or in
respect of its related Note Guarantee, as the case may be, and all of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s other obligations and covenants under such Notes, this Indenture and its related Note Guarantee, if applicable. 

ARTICLE SIX 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

(2) default in payment when due of principal or premium, if any, on the Notes at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; 

(3) failure by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary after receipt of notice from the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in

 -77- 







 (5) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be
issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or the payment of which is Guaranteed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness owed to the
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 when due at final stated maturity (giving effect to any grace period
related thereto) principal of such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”) or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness,
together with the principal amount of any such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $100.0 million or more; and, in each case, the Issuer has received notice
specifying the default from the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding (with a copy to the Trustee) and does not cure the default within 30 days; 

(6) failure by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to pay final and non-appealable
judgments (net of any amounts covered by insurance and as to which such insurer has not denied responsibility or coverage in writing) aggregating $100.0 million or more, which judgments are not paid, discharged, bonded, stayed or waived within
60 days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered in full by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed; 

(7) (A) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief
against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding in which the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) appoints a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary, or (iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a

Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, and in each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), such order or
decree remains unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (B) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent or consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

substantially all of its property, (iii) effects any general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (iv) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts when they become due; and 

(8) any Note Guarantee of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect in all material
respects (other than in accordance with the terms of such Note Guarantee and this Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any such Guarantor denies its liability under its Note Guarantee (other than by
reason of the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture or the release of such Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Note Guarantee). 

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission. 

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may declare all Notes then outstanding to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee, in the case of notice by Holders, specifying the respective Event of Default and that it
is a “notice of acceleration” and the same shall become immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) occurs with respect to the
Issuer and is continuing under this Indenture, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice. 
 In
the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (5) of Section 6.01, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled,
waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose: 

(1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or 

  
 -79- 







 (2) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action
(as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or 
 (3) the payment default that is the basis for such Event of
Default has been cured. 
 In the event of a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences, so long as such rescission and annulment would not
conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction if: 
 (1) all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived; 

(2) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal,
which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and 
 (3) the Issuer has paid the
Trustee and Agents their reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee and Agents for their reasonable expenses, disbursements, indemnities and advances. 

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

SECTION 6.03. 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, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Notes or this Indenture and may take any necessary action requested by the Holders of a majority of the principal amount outstanding of the Notes to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings to which it is a
party. 
 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 Noteholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. Except as
otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.08, no remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is exclusive of any other remedy. All
available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

  
 -80- 







 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Existing Defaults and Events of Default. 

(a) Subject to Sections 2.10 and 6.08, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have the right to
waive any past and existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture, except a Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on any Note held by a
non-consenting Holder as specified in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 6.01 or in respect of a covenant or a provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder as provided
for in Section 8.02 (which shall require the consent of all Holders); provided that, subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its
consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. In case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes,
respectively. 
 (b) Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. 

Subject to Sections 2.10, 6.06 and 7.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have the right to
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder not taking part in such direction, and the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction (it
being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not
lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed may involve it in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost,
liability or expense that might be caused by taking such action or following such direction. 

  
 -81- 







 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to Section 6.08, no Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or for
any remedy thereunder unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default; 
 (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made a written request to
the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory
to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with the request within 60 days
after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense that might be caused by complying with such request; and 

(5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request. 
 A Noteholder may not use any
provision of this Indenture to disturb or prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder. 

SECTION 6.07. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders. 

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, manager, member, partner, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or of any
Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Parent Entity of the Issuer (other than the Issuer in respect of the Notes and each Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee), as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under
the Notes, this Indenture, the Note Guarantees 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 may not be effective to
waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. 
 SECTION 6.08. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right of any Holder to bring suit to enforce the payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest, if any, on its Note on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note shall not be amended without the consent of such Holder. 

  
 -82- 







 SECTION 6.09. Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(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 or any Guarantor (or any other obligor on the Notes) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the
extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate set forth in the Notes, and such further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 SECTION 6.10. 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 any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Issuer or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Noteholder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder
any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceedings. 

  
 -83- 







 SECTION 6.11. Priorities. 

If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six, such money or property shall be paid out or distributed in the
following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee, the Agents, and any predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents and attorneys
for amounts due under hereunder; 
 SECOND: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if
any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 

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

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 6.11. 

SECTION 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. 
 In
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Noteholder pursuant to Section 6.08 or a suit by Noteholders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding. 
 ARTICLE SEVEN 

TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

 (a) If a Default or Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, subject to
the protections of this Article Seven (including, but not limited to, the provision of security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree
of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person under the circumstances would exercise or use under the same circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 

  
 -84- 







 Except for an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(1) or 6.01(2) (upon the occurrence
of which the Trustee if then acting as Paying Agent will be deemed to have knowledge thereof), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or be required to take any action based on
any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default by the Issuer or by the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes by written notice of such event sent to the Trustee in accordance with Section 11.02 at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this
Indenture. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge: 
 (1) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others,
and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. 
 (2) In the absence of bad
faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on
their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 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 require and, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an
Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, subject to the requirement in the preceding sentence, if applicable. 
 (c) The
Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of subsection (b) of this Section 7.01. 

(2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved
that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 
 (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 from a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

  
 -85- 







 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, subsections (a), (b), (c) and (e) of this
Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 shall govern every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee. 
 (e) The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders or otherwise pursuant to this Indenture, unless the Trustee has been offered security or
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction or such exercise (including, but in no way limited to, the fees and disbursements of agents
and attorneys). The Trustee’s fees, expenses and indemnities (including, but in no way limited to, the fees and disbursements of agents and attorneys) are included in the amounts guaranteed by the Note Guarantees. 

(f) 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 or any
Guarantor. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by the law. 
 (g) No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights, powers or duties. The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety
in respect of the performance of its powers or duties hereunder. 
 SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to Section 7.01: 

(1) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document (whether in its original, facsimile or electronic (including .pdf) 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. 

(2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require and shall be entitled to receive an Officer’s
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 11.05. The Trustee shall be protected and shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate
or opinion. 

  
 -86- 







 (3) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed by it with due care. 
 (4) The Trustee shall
not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute negligence or willful misconduct.

 (5) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law
shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

(6) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right
to be compensated, reimbursed and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including but not limited to as Registrar, Paying Agent and Depository Custodian), and each agent,
custodian and other person employed to act hereunder. 
 (7) The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its own negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act. 

(8) The Trustee may from time to time request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of
individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any persons authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person
specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 (9) In no event shall the
Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such
loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 (10) The Trustee will not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness, or other paper or document, or inquire as to the
performance by the Issuer or the Guarantors of any of their covenants in this Indenture but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit. 

  
 -87- 







 (11) For certain payments made pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee may be
required to make a “reportable payment” or “withholdable payment” and in such cases the Trustee shall have the duty to act as a payor or withholding agent, respectively, that is responsible for any tax withholding and reporting
required under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Trustee shall have the sole right to make the determination as to which payments are “reportable payments” or “withholdable
payments.” All parties to this Indenture shall provide an executed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or, in each case, any successor form) to the Trustee on
or prior to the date hereof, and shall promptly update any such form to the extent such form becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect. The Trustee shall have the right to request from any party to this Indenture, or any other person or entity
entitled to payment hereunder, any additional forms, documentation or other information as may be reasonably necessary for the Trustee to satisfy its reporting and withholding obligations under the Code. To the extent any such forms to be delivered
under this Section 7.02(m) are not provided by the time the related payment is required to be made or are determined by the Trustee to be incomplete and/or inaccurate in any respect, the Trustee shall be entitled to withhold on any such
payments hereunder to the extent withholding is required under Chapters 3, 4, 24 or 61 of the Code, and shall have no obligation to gross up any such payment. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any tax withholding and reporting required
pursuant to the laws of any country other than the United States of America. 
 (12) Under no circumstances shall the Trustee
be liable in its individual capacity for the obligations evidenced by the Notes. 
 (13) 

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits from,
perform services for or otherwise deal with either the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any Affiliates thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest within the
meaning of Section 310(b) of the TIA, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall also be subject to
Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

  
 -88- 







 SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except for the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements
of the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes
or any Note Guarantee, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s use of the proceeds from the sale of Notes, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent (other than
itself as Paying Agent) or any money paid to the Issuer or any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Notes, the Note Guarantees or this Indenture other than its certificate of
authentication. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any statement in the Offering Memorandum or any other document utilized by the Issuer in connection with the sale of the Notes, and shall not be responsible for any rating on the Notes or any
action or omission of any Rating Agency. 
 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing (which shall not be cured or waived) and if it is actually known to the Trustee
(pursuant to Section 7.01(a) hereof), the Trustee shall give to each Holder a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days of having received such notice as provided in this Indenture. Except in the case of a Default or Event of
Default relating to the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), the Trustee may withhold the notice if
and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. 
 SECTION 7.06. [Reserved] 

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee and Agents from time to time compensation as agreed upon for its services hereunder
(which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Issuer and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee and Agents upon request for all reasonable disbursements,
expenses and advances incurred or made by it in connection with their duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

  
 -89- 







 The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Trustee, the
Agents and their respective agents, employees, stockholders, directors and officers and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including without limitation taxes
(other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
Indenture or the performance of its duties under this Indenture or the exercise of its rights and powers under the Notes and the Guarantees, including the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonably attorneys’ fees and expenses and
court costs) of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.07), the Notes and the Guarantees or otherwise arising under this Indenture and including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether
asserted by any Holder, the Issuer, any Guarantor or otherwise) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its rights, powers or duties hereunder (including, without limitation, settlement costs). The Trustee shall notify
the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing promptly of any third party claim of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity (each, a “Third Party
Claim”); provided that the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not relieve the Issuer and Guarantors of their obligations hereunder except to the extent the Issuer and the Guarantors are actually
prejudiced thereby. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement or provide any indemnification for any other Losses associated therewith to the extent such settlement is made in connection with any Third Party Claim without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee shall have the right to its own counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel in connection with any Third Party Claim to the extent the
Trustee reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists or is required in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss
or liability to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own negligence or willful misconduct. 
 To secure the payment obligations of
the Issuer and the Guarantors hereunder, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee except for such money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.
Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this
Section 7.07 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be joint and several liabilities of each Issuer
and each of the Guarantors and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or other termination of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law. 

  
 -90- 







 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01 (7) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law. 

For purposes of this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed pursuant to this Article Seven,
provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall apply to Trustee in its capacity as
Paying Agent, Registrar and any other Agent under this Indenture and shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Issuer and the removed Trustee in writing at least 30 days prior to such removal and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Issuer may remove the Trustee at its election if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with
Section 7.10; 
 (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect
to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or 
 (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the
retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, Noteholders holding at least 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 -91- 







 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee
and to the Issuer. Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall, subject to its rights under Section 7.07, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, 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. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Noteholder. Notwithstanding replacement of
the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. The retiring or removed Trustee shall have no responsibility or
liability for the action or inaction of any successor Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another
corporation, subject to Section 7.10, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven. 

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of
Claims Against Issuer. 
 The Trustee is subject to and shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed
in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 SECTION 7.12.
Paying Agents. 
 The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to it and the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.12: 

(A) that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the
Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or the Trustee; 

  
 -92- 







 (B) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon
written request from the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and 

(C) that it will give the Trustee written notice within three Business Days of any failure of the Issuer (or by any obligor on
the Notes) in the payment of any installment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable.

adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate. 
 After an amendment
or supplement under this Section 8.01 becomes effective, the Issuer shall send to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment or supplement. Any failure of the Issuer to send such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in
any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment or supplement. 
 SECTION 8.02. With Consent of Noteholders. 

(a) Except to the extent provided in Section 8.01 and subsection (b) of this Section 8.02, this Indenture, the Notes or any
Note Guarantee may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection
with a purchase of, tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). 

(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section 8.02, without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected thereby, an amendment
or waiver may not (with respect to any Note held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (1)
reduce the principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

  
 -94- 







 (2) reduce the principal amount of or change the Maturity Date of any Notes, or

 (c) It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 8.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall send to the Holders a notice
briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to send such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

  
 -95- 







 SECTION 8.03. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 8.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

(a) Until an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent, conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Note or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note.

 (b) The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to
any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Noteholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to
consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Noteholders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such
record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Noteholders has been obtained. 
 (c) After an amendment, supplement, waiver or
other action under Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 becomes effective, it shall bind every Noteholder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (9) of Section 8.02(b). In that case the amendment, supplement,
waiver or other action shall bind each Noteholder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of the same Note or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation
of the consent is not made on any such Note. 
 SECTION 8.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee (in accordance with the specific written direction of the
Issuer) shall request the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Noteholder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee
so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue, the Guarantors shall endorse and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed
terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

  
 -96- 







 SECTION 8.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Eight if the amendment, supplement or
waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee, the Trustee may, but need not, sign such amendment, supplement
or waiver. The Issuer or the Guarantors may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until its Board of Directors approve it. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in signing an amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating, in addition to the matters required by Section 11.04, that the
execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against
the Issuer and the Guarantors party thereto in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions). Guarantors may, but shall not be required to, execute supplemental indentures that do not modify such Guarantor’s Guarantee. 

ARTICLE NINE 
 DISCHARGE OF
INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 9.01. Discharge of Indenture. 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes and Note Guarantees, and the Trustee, at the expense
of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees, when either: 

(1) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture (other than (i) Notes which have
been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and
thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) for cancellation; or 
 (2) (a) all Notes outstanding under
this Indenture not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (I) have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the sending of a notice of redemption, or otherwise (II) will become due and payable within one
year, or (III) are to be called for redemption within one year, under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or
any Guarantor irrevocably deposits or cause to be deposited with the Trustee 

  
 -97- 







 
as funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if
any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes outstanding under this Indenture not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation on the maturity date or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be; (b) no Default or Event
of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Security Interests in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material instrument 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 the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Security Interests in connection therewith); (c) the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable
by the Issuer or any Guarantor under this Indenture; and (d) the Issuer have delivered (I) irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case
may be, and (II) an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 

The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, under
Sections 4.01, 4.02, 7.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01(2), 9.05 and the obligations of the Trustee under Sections 9.05, 9.07 and 9.08 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 

SECTION 9.02. Legal Defeasance. 
 The
Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, to have cured all then
existing Events of Default and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture, including the obligations of the Guarantors, with respect to the Notes (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the
Issuer, shall, subject to Section 9.06, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of the Holders of the outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust described in Section 9.04 and as
more fully set forth in Section 9.04, payments in respect of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, 

  
 -98- 







 (2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.07,
2.08, 2.11, 4.02 and 9.05, 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including
claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07) and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and 

(4) this Section 9.02. 

Concurrently with any Legal Defeasance, the Issuer may, at its further option, cause to be terminated, as of the date on which such Legal
Defeasance occurs, all of the obligations under any or all of the Note Guarantees, if any, then existing and obtain the release of the Note Guarantees of any or all Guarantors. 

Subject to compliance with this Article Nine (other than Section 9.01), the Issuer may exercise its option under this
Section 9.02 with respect to the Notes notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03 with respect to the Notes. 
 SECTION
9.03. Covenant Defeasance. 
 The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations and the obligations
of the Guarantors under Sections 4.03, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17 released with respect to the Notes on the date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not to be “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 shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with
respect to the Notes, the Issuer may omit or fail 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 6.01, but, except as
specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise of the option in this Section 9.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 9.04, Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5), (6), (7) (solely with respect to a Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary and any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and (8) shall
not constitute Events of Default.

 Notwithstanding any discharge or release of any obligations under this Indenture pursuant to
Section 9.02 or this Section 9.03, the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, under Sections 7.07, 9.05 and 9.06 and, the obligations of the Trustee under Sections 9.05, 9.07 and 9.08 shall survive such discharge or
release. 
 SECTION 9.04. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 to the outstanding Notes: 

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes issued under
this Indenture, cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an Advisory Firm (such opinion shall be delivered to the Trustee, and upon which the Trustee shall
have no liability in relying), to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes outstanding under this Indenture on the stated maturity 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; 
 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the
Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States (upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying) confirming that (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, 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 shall confirm that, the beneficial owners
of the Notes outstanding under this Indenture 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 (upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying) confirming that the beneficial owners of the Notes outstanding under this Indenture
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; 

  
 -100- 







 (4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Security Interests in connection therewith) or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or
insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 
 (5) such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which
the Issuer or any of the Guarantors is bound (other than that resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Security Interests in connection therewith); 

(6) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate (upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in
relying) stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders issued under this Indenture over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of
the Issuer or others; and 
 (7) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel upon which the Trustee shall have the right to rely, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

SECTION 9.05. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations To Be Held in Trust. 

Subject to Section 9.08, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 9.01 or Section 9.04, as the case may be, in respect of the outstanding Notes shall 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 Agents (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent), to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer and the Guarantors shall (on a joint and several
basis) pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.01 or Section 9.04, as the case may be, or the principal, premium, if
any, 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. 

  
 -101- 







 Anything in this Article Nine to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or
pay to the Issuer from time to time upon a request of the Issuer any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.01 or Section 9.04, as the case may be, which, in the opinion of an Advisory Firm expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 SECTION 9.06. Reinstatement. 
 If
the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01, 9.02 or 9.03, 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 each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
this Article Nine until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01, 9.02 or 9.03, as the case may be; provided that if the Issuer
or the Guarantors have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, 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 any Paying Agent. 
 SECTION 9.07.
Moneys Held by Paying Agent. 
 In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys and U.S. Government
Obligations then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon written demand of the Issuer, be paid or delivered to the Trustee, or if sufficient moneys and U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to
Section 9.04, to the Issuer upon a request of the Issuer (or, if such moneys and U.S. Government Obligations had been deposited by the Guarantors, to such Guarantors), and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability
with respect to such moneys. 

  
 -102- 







 SECTION 9.08. Moneys Held by Trustee. 

Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by
the Issuer or the Guarantors in trust for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Note for two years after the date upon which the principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on such Note shall have respectively become due and payable shall be repaid or returned to the Issuer (or, if appropriate, the Guarantors) upon a request of the Issuer, or if such moneys and U.S. Government Obligations
are then held by the Issuer or the Guarantors in trust, such moneys and U.S. Government Obligations shall be released from such trust; and the Holder of such Note entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor,
look only to the Issuer and the Guarantors for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust moneys and U.S. Government Obligations shall thereupon cease. 

ARTICLE TEN 
 GUARANTEE OF
SECURITIES 
 SECTION 10.01. Guarantee. 

Subject to this Article 10, the Guarantors, by execution of this Indenture, jointly and severally, guarantee to each Holder and to the Trustee
and Agents (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each Note, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of
interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the due and punctual payment of all other obligations and due and punctual performance of all obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee or Agents
all in accordance with the terms of such Note and this Indenture and (ii) in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or
performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, in each case, to the limitation set forth in Section 10.06. Each Guarantor, by execution of this Indenture, agrees that,
subject only to the applicable provisions, if any, of Section 10.06, its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of any such Note or this Indenture, any failure to
enforce the provisions of any such Note or this Indenture, any waiver or consent with respect thereto by the Holder of such Note, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or such Guarantor.
Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection). 

Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the
event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to any such Note or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this
Guarantee will not be discharged as to any such Note 

  
 -103- 







 
except by payment in full of the principal thereof and interest thereon. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the
other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in
respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee. 
 The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Trustee, the Agents or any Holder under the Note Guarantees. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee
shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective
net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 SECTION 10.02. Execution and Delivery of Note
Guarantee. 
 To evidence the Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees this Indenture (or
supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit J hereto) shall be executed by either manual, facsimile or electronic (including “.pdf”) signature of an Officer of such Guarantor. 

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall be in full force and effect notwithstanding
the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 
 If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this
Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit J hereto) no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless. 

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

  
 -104- 







 SECTION 10.03. Release of Guarantors. 

(a) A Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be unconditionally and automatically released and discharged upon any of the following: 

(1) any Transfer (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation, merger, dividend, distribution or otherwise) by such
Guarantor to any Person that is not a Guarantor or the Issuer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of such Guarantor; 

(2) any Transfer directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation , merger, dividend,
distribution or otherwise) to any Person that is not a Guarantor or the Issuer of Equity Interests of such Guarantor or any issuance by such Guarantor of its Equity Interests, such that such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary; 

(3) the merger or consolidation of any Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Guarantor that is the surviving Person in
such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of a Guarantor; or 
 (4) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article Nine. 
 (b) No such release or discharge of a Note Guarantee
of a Guarantor shall be effective against the Trustee or the Holders to which such Note Guarantee relates until the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, upon which the Trustee shall have
the right to conclusively rely, stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to such transactions have been complied with. At the request and expense of the Issuer, and upon being provided an Officer’s
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument evidencing such release. 
 (c) If the Note
Guarantee of any Guarantor is deemed to be released or is automatically released, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the identity of the released Guarantor, the basis for release in reasonable detail, and
that such release complies with this Indenture. At the request and expense of the Issuer, and upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that a Guarantor has been released and that execution by the
Trustee of an appropriate instrument evidencing the release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee complies with this Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by either the Issuer or a Guarantor in order to evidence the
release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Notes and under this Article Ten (it being understood that the failure to obtain any such instrument shall not impair any automatic release pursuant to this
Section 10.03). 

  
 -105- 







 SECTION 10.04. Waiver of Subrogation. 

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from
the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right
to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the
Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or Note on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in
violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall
forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and
indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.04 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

SECTION 10.05. [Reserved] 
 SECTION 10.06. Limitation
on Guarantor’s Liability. 
 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof, each Holder and the Trustee, hereby
confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of a Guarantor does not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer
Act or any similar U.S. Federal or state or other applicable law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, each Holder and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of a Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be
limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, result in the obligations of such Guarantor not constituting such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE] 

MUELLER WATER PRODUCTS, INC. 

5.50% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2026 
 1.
Interest. Mueller Water Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 5.50% per annum. Interest hereon will accrue from and
including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including June 12, 2018 to but excluding the date on which interest is paid. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each June 15 and
December 15, commencing on December 15, 2018, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprising twelve 30-day months, and in the case of an incomplete month, the number of actual days elapsed. The
Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the extent lawful) at the rate borne by the Notes. 
 2.
Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on June 1 or December 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding the Interest
Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Interest may be paid by check mailed to the Holder entitled thereto at the address indicated on the register maintained by the Registrar for the Notes; provided that all payments of principal and
interest and premium, if any, with respect to the Notes represented by one or more Global Notes will be made in accordance with the Depository’s applicable procedures. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in U.S. Dollars. Holders must
surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. 
 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as a Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

4. Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 12, 2018 (the “Indenture”) among
the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. This is one of an issue of Notes of the Issuer issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of them. Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the
express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

  
 A-1-4 







 5. Optional Redemption. 

At any time prior to June 15, 2021, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to (i) 40% of the original aggregate
principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture and (ii) all or a portion of any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 105.500% of the
principal amount of the Notes redeemed, with an amount of cash no greater than the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of all Equity Offerings to the extent such cash proceeds are received by or contributed to the Issuer
since the Issue Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date; provided that: 

(1) at least 60% (calculated without giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) of the original aggregate principal
amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 

(2) each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of each such Equity Offering. 

In addition, prior to June 15, 2021, the Issuer may redeem the Notes on any one or more occasions, at their option, in whole or in part,
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Make-Whole Redemption Date, plus the applicable Make-Whole Premium (a “Make-Whole Redemption”). The
Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the Make-Whole Premium on or before the applicable Redemption Date, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for verifying or otherwise for such calculation. 

On or after June 15, 2021, the Issuer may redeem the Notes on any one or more occasions, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed
during the twelve-month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below: 
  

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2021
	  	 	102.750	% 
	 2022
	  	 	101.375	% 
	 2023 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Unless the Issuer (or a third-party offeror) defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will
cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable Redemption Date. The Issuer may provide in such 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. 

  
 A-1-5 







 In addition, the Issuer and its Affiliates may acquire Notes at any time and from time to time by
means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of accrued but unpaid interest in connection with any redemption of Notes is subject to the
rights of a Holder on a record date for the payment of interest whose Notes are to be redeemed on or after such record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date to receive interest on such Interest Payment Date. 

6. Offers To Purchase. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event or an Asset Disposition
and subject to further limitations and exceptions contained therein, the Issuer may be required to make an offer to purchase outstanding Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Except as set forth in Sections 4.08 and
4.09 of the Indenture, the Issuer is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 7.
Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations 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 and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar or the Issuer need not
register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portion of a Note selected for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 

The transferor of any Note shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with
any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code Section, as amended. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have
no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information. 
 8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this
Note may be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes. 
 9. Unclaimed Money. Subject to applicable escheat laws, if money
for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee will pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment as
general unsecured creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person. 
 10. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver,
Etc. The Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture. 

  
 A-1-6 







 11. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the
Issuer and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, make Restricted Payments, enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions or consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and
requires the Issuer to provide reports to Holders. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with
such limitations. 
 13. Defaults and Remedies. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the
Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the Notes, the rights and obligations of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 

14. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, manager, member, partner, incorporator or
stockholder of the Issuer or of any Subsidiary or any Parent Entity (other than the Issuer in respect of the Notes and each Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee), as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the
Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees 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. 

15. Guarantees. From and after the Issue Date, the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of certain Note Guarantees made for the
benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders. 

16. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually, by facsimile or electronically (including

 17. Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TENANT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform
Gifts to Minors Act). 
 19. CUSIP and ISIN numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security
Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers and/or similar numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers and/or similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
