is secured by a Lien on Property of the Company or a Subsidiary outstanding on the last day of such Test Period (other than property or assets held in a defeasance or similar trust or arrangement for the benefit of the Indebtedness secured thereby)
to (b) Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for such Test Period. In the event that the Company or any Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, repays, retires, discharges or extinguishes any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred
or repaid under any revolving Credit Facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes), in each case, subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Secured Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or
simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Secured Leverage Ratio is made (the “Secured Leverage Ratio Calculation Date”), then the Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such
incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement, discharge or extinguishment of Indebtedness as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period. 

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, any Specified Transaction that has been made by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries during any Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Secured Leverage Ratio Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and
any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of such Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with
or into the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated
giving pro forma effect thereto for such Test Period as if such Specified Transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period. 

  
 -17- 













 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any
Specified Transaction (including the Transactions), the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Financial Officer of the Company and may include, for the avoidance of doubt but without duplication of amounts included pursuant to the
definition of Consolidated EBITDA, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, synergies and operating expense reductions and synergies projected by the Company in good faith to be realized as a result of
specified actions taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken no later than 18 months after the date of any such Specified Transaction (in each case as though such cost savings,
operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized on the first day of the applicable period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were realized for the entirety of such period); provided, that such
cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable in the good faith judgment of the Company. For the purposes of this Indenture,
“run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken, or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to
be taken, net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions. 
 If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate
of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Secured Leverage Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account
any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Financial Officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in
such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be
deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate. 

For purposes of any covenant determined by reference to this Secured Leverage Ratio, the Company may elect, pursuant to an officers’
certificate delivered to the Trustee, to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness (and any refinancing with respect thereto) (any such commitment, a “Designated Commitment”) as being incurred at such time
and being secured by a Lien at such time, in which case any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment or refinancing or incurrence of Liens to secure such Indebtedness, as the case may be, shall not be deemed, for purposes of this
calculation, to be an incurrence at such subsequent time.

authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 
 On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company’s Order (an
“Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes in the aggregate principal amount or amounts specified in such Authentication Order. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of
an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes for an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued or increased hereunder. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the
Company. 
 SECTION 2.03. Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain (i) an office or agency where
Notes may be presented for registration (“Registrar”) (ii) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for transfer or for exchange (“Transfer Agent”) and (iii) an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The registered Holder will be treated as the owner of the Note for all
purposes. Only registered Holders will have rights under this Indenture and the Notes. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars, one or more co-transfer agents
and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, the term “Transfer Agent” includes any co-transfer agent
and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agents. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and
address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying
Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar. 
 The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as
Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and
Registrar for the Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

 If any Notes are listed on an exchange, for so long as the Notes are so listed and the rules
of such exchange so require, the Company will satisfy any requirement of such exchange as to paying agents, registrars and transfer agents and will comply with any notice requirements required under such exchange in connection with any change of any
paying agent, registrar or transfer agent. 
 SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Company shall require each
Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes,
and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee for its own benefit and for the benefit of the
Holders. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Holders. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a
Subsidiary or the Trustee) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.
Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 SECTION
2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to

Holders.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.06, a Global Note may be transferred, in
whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor thereto or a nominee of such successor thereto. A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be exchanged for a Definitive Note of the same series unless
(A) the Depositary (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, a successor
Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (B) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes and any Participant requests a Definitive Note in accordance

completion of all applicable requirements under Rule 903(b)(2)) or (C) upon the request of a Holder if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Upon the occurrence of any of the events in clause

Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance
with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note
or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect
such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an
endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental
charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.10, 3.06, 4.10, and 9.05 hereof). 
 (iii) The Company shall not be
required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Notes to be redeemed under Section 3.03 hereof and
ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, (C) to

Change of Control Offer. 
 (iv) Neither the Registrar nor the Company shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (v) All Global Notes and
Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global
Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

  
 -33- 













 (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee,
any Agent and the Company shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes and for all other
purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (vii) Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 (viii) At
the option of the Holder, subject to Section 2.06(a) hereof, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office
or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes to which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 
 (ix) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of
Counsel required to be submitted to the Company pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 

(x) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed

or not taken by the Depositary. 
 SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes. If either (x) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the
Trustee, the Registrar or the Company or (y) if the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, then the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note. An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating
agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note. 

Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are
all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those
described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Company or a Guarantor holds the Note. 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code). 

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases
to accrue. 

  
 -34- 













 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Company or
a Guarantor) holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall
cease to accrue interest. 
 SECTION 2.09. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or a Guarantor or by any Affiliate of the Company or a Guarantor, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall
not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to such pledged Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or a Guarantor or
any Affiliate of the Company or a Guarantor. 
 SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company
considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 

Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or
beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver
Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the
Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record
retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the cancellation of all surrendered Notes shall be delivered to the Company at the Company’s written request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or
that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment
of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The
Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be
fixed any such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of any such
special record date. At least 15 days before any such special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, or otherwise deliver in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date
and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each
Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 

  
 -35- 













 SECTION 2.13. CUSIP/ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and
ISIN numbers (in each case, if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers. 

ARTICLE III 
 REDEMPTION

 SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall
furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days (unless the Trustee agrees to a shorter period) before notice of redemption is required to be delivered to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth
(i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), (iii) the principal amount of the Notes to
be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. 
 SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are
to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, or (b) if the Notes
are not so listed, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, or, if the pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and otherwise in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee
from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed,
the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

 SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. The Company shall deliver electronically, mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail,
postage prepaid (or otherwise deliver in accordance with Applicable Procedures) notices of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered
address or otherwise in accordance with Applicable Procedures, except that redemption notices may be delivered or mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if (x) the notice is issued in connection with Article VIII or Article XI
hereof or (y) such notice relates to a redemption that is conditioned upon satisfaction (or waiver by the Company in its sole discretion) of one or more conditions precedent and any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or
waived by the Company in its sole discretion). 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date; 

(b) the redemption price; 

(c) if any Definitive Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be
redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be issued in
the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note; 
 (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

  
 -36- 













 (e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent
to collect the redemption price; 
 (f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on
Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 
 (g) the paragraph or subparagraph of the
Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (h) the CUSIP
and ISIN number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed and that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP and ISIN number that is listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and 

(i) any condition to such redemption. 

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided
that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be electronically delivered, mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter
notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

If any Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of such exchange so require, the Company will notify the exchange of any such notice of
redemption and the principal amount of any Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of such Notes. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect
to such redemption may be performed by another Person. 
 Notice of any redemption of Notes described herein, may, at the Company’s
discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state
that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be
rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the Redemption Date as stated in such notice, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. The Company may provide
in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations under this Article III with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. 

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof,
subject to satisfaction of any conditions precedent relating thereto specified in the applicable notice of redemption, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption price. The notice, if
delivered, mailed or caused to be mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to deliver such notice or any defect in the notice to the
Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to
accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption. 
 SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

(a) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying
Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. 

  
 -37- 













 (b) If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph (a), on and after
the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid
interest to the Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the
Company. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date
until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the Redemption Date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 

SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Definitive Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed; provided, that each
new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel
or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. 
 SECTION 3.07. Optional Redemption. 

(a) At any time prior to March 15, 2022, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes from time to time upon notice as set forth in
Section 3.03 hereof, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but excluding) the Redemption Date (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

notice as set forth in Section 3.03 at a redemption price of 105.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but excluding) the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the
relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); provided that: (1) at least 60.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Additional Notes (taken together) issued under this Indenture remains
outstanding after each such redemption; and (2) the redemption occurs within 90 days after the closing of such Equity Offering. 
 (c)
Except pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 3.07 or clause (h) of Section 4.10, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to March 15, 2022. 

(d) On or after March 15, 2022, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a part of the Notes from time to time upon notice as set
forth in Section 3.03 hereof, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but excluding) the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15 of the years indicated below: 

 

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
	 2022
	  	 	102.813	% 
	 2023
	  	 	101.406	% 
	 2024 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 (e) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01
through 3.06 hereof. 

  
 -38- 













 (f) In addition to any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07, the Company or its
Affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. 
 SECTION 3.08. Mandatory
Redemption. The Company will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate
equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; the Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any
applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
 SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall

or presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of
such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 The Company 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 that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain
such offices or agencies as required by Section 2.03 hereof for such purposes. The Company 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.

the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the
signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her

or the holder of any other evidence of Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default, the Company shall promptly (which shall be no more than ten (10) Business Days
after becoming aware of such Default) deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission an Officer’s Certificate specifying such event and the status thereof. 

SECTION 4.05. Taxes. The Company shall pay or discharge, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay or discharge, prior to
delinquency, all material taxes, lawful assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate actions or where the failure to effect such payment or discharge is not adverse in any material respect to the
Holders. 
 SECTION 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they
may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect
the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant (to the extent that they may
lawfully do so) that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

 SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any
Property unless: 
 (a) the Sale and Leaseback Transaction is solely with the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company;

 (b) the lease is for a period not in excess of 36 months (or which may be terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary),
including renewals; 
 (c) the Company or such Subsidiary would (at the time of entering into such arrangement) be entitled
as described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” (other than as described in clause (34) of that definition), without equally and ratably securing the Notes then outstanding under this Indenture, to create, incur, issue, assume or
guarantee Indebtedness secured by a Lien on such Property in the amount of the Attributable Indebtedness arising from such Sale and Leaseback Transaction; 

(d) the Company or such Subsidiary, within 360 days after the sale of such Property in connection with such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction is completed, applies an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of such Property to (a) the retirement of Notes, other Funded Indebtedness of the Company ranking on a parity with the Notes (or the Guarantees of the Notes) or
Funded Indebtedness of a Subsidiary of the Company, (b) the purchase of assets, or (c) a combination thereof; or 

(e) (1) the Attributable Indebtedness of the Company and Subsidiaries of the Company in respect of such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction and all other Attributable Indebtedness of the Company and Subsidiaries of the Company in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into after the Issue Date then outstanding (other than any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction
as would be permitted as described in Sections 4.07(a) through (d)), plus (2) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness secured by Liens on Properties then outstanding (not including any such Indebtedness secured by Liens described
in the definition of “Permitted Liens,” other than Indebtedness secured by Liens pursuant to clause (34) of that definition) that are not equally and ratably secured with the outstanding Notes (or secured on a basis junior to the
outstanding Notes), would not exceed the greater of (x) $1,175 million and (y) the amount that would cause the Secured Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.00 to 1.00. 

  
 -41- 













 SECTION 4.08. Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of the
Company to, create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed evidenced by loans, bonds, notes, debentures, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances, hedging obligations or instruments similar to the foregoing, in
each case to the extent such indebtedness would appear as a liability on the balance sheet of such Person prepared in accordance with GAAP (“Indebtedness”) secured by a Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon (a) any Property of
the Company or such Subsidiary or (b) any shares of Capital Stock or Indebtedness issued by any Subsidiary of the Company and owned by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, without
concurrently providing that the Notes then outstanding under this Indenture are secured equally and ratably with or, at the option of the Company, prior to such Indebtedness so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured. 

The expansion of Liens by virtue of accretion or amortization of original issue discount (excluding accretion or amortization that is
expressly provided for in the agreement providing for the applicable Indebtedness that is a zero coupon or similar discount yield instrument), the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness and increases in the amount of
Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Liens for purposes of this Section 4.08. 

Any Indebtedness under any Credit Facility (including the Credit Agreement) may only be secured under clause (15) or (34) of the
definition of Permitted Liens, and may not be secured under clause (24) of the definition of Permitted Liens. 
 SECTION 4.09.
Company Existence. Subject to Article V hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its company existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of
its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; provided that the Company shall not be required to preserve the corporate,
partnership or other existence of its Subsidiaries, if the Company in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

SECTION 4.10. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event. 

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has previously or concurrently delivered or mailed a redemption notice
with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described in Section 3.07 hereof (so long as such redemption is not subject to any conditions precedent other than the occurrence of such Change of Control), the Company shall make an offer to
purchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control
Payment”) equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but excluding) the date of repurchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive
interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date prior to such repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail (or
otherwise in accordance with Applicable Procedures), with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder to the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register with the following information: 

(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.10 and that all Notes properly tendered
pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Company; 
 (2) describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute the Change of Control;

(5) that unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (6) that Holders
electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the Paying Agent
specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

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

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

(9) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is
conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and 
 (10) the other instructions, as determined by the Company,
consistent with this Section 4.10, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased. 
 The Company will comply with
the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes
by the Company pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue thereof. 
 (b) On the Change of Control
Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law: 
 (1) accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions
thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to
the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

 -43- 













 (c) The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as
soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (d) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
following a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the
Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption has been given or will be given pursuant to this Indenture as described in Section 3.07 prior to the date the
Company is required to send notice of the Change of Control Offer to Holders of Notes, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the applicable redemption price; provided that in the case of this clause (2), such redemption shall
not be subject to any conditions precedent (other than the occurrence of such Change of Control). 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the
Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.10 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 hereof, and references therein to “redeem,” “redemption,” “Redemption Date” and similar words shall be deemed to refer to

Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.10 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 

(h) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes
in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any other Person making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such other
Person will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 60 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding
following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the date of redemption. 

SECTION 4.11. Additional Guarantees. 

If, after the Issue Date, (a) any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company (including any newly formed, newly acquired or newly
redesignated Subsidiary, but excluding any Subsidiary Guarantor) that is not an Excluded Subsidiary guarantees (or becomes a co-borrower or co-issuer in respect of) any
Credit Facility (or commitments therefor) or Capital Markets Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company that is not an Excluded Subsidiary guarantees (or

supplemental indenture in form of Exhibit D hereto or in any other form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Subsidiary or direct or indirect parent company shall unconditionally guarantee all of the
Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture.

consolidate or merge with or into any Person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any Subsidiary of the Company to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets (determined on a consolidated basis) for the Company and its Subsidiaries, whether as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, to any Person unless: 

(i) either: 

(1) the Company shall be the surviving or continuing corporation or 

(2) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which
acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (the “Surviving Entity”) 

(x) shall be a Person organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of
Columbia; provided, that in the case where the Surviving Entity is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation; and 

(y) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), executed
and delivered to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Notes and the performance of every covenant of the Notes and this Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or
observed; 
 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions and the assumption
contemplated by clause (i)(2)(y) above (including giving effect to any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 

(iii) the Company or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such
supplemental indenture, complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture and that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the merger of the Company with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company
in another State of the United States or the District of Columbia shall be permitted and any Subsidiary may consolidate with, amalgamate with or merge with or into or wind up into or sell, assign, lease, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all
or part of its properties and assets to the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of
one or more Subsidiaries of the Company the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the
Company. 
 (b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor will not, and the Company will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, in a single transaction or
series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person other than the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor unless, 

  
 -45- 













 (i) if the Subsidiary Guarantor was a Person organized under the laws of the
United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, the entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Subsidiary Guarantor) is a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia; and 
 (ii) such entity assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations
of the Subsidiary Guarantor on its Subsidiary Guarantee; 
 such Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be and in each case, being herein called the
“Successor Person.” 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of this Section 5.01(b) will not apply to any
transaction pursuant to which such Guarantor is permitted to be released from its Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may (1) merge, amalgamate or consolidate with or into, wind up into or sell,
assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or part of its properties and assets to another Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company, (2) merge with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Subsidiary
Guarantor in the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (3) convert into a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or trust organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
organization of such Subsidiary Guarantor or (4) solely with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor, liquidate or dissolve or change its legal form if the Company determines in good faith that such action is in the best interests of the Company
and is not materially disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes. 
 SECTION 5.02. Successor Person Substituted. Upon any
consolidation or merger of the Company or a Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with
Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable, is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees referring to the
Company or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall refer instead to the Successor Person and not to the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable), and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable, under this
Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees with the same effect as if such Successor Person had been named as the Company or a Guarantor, as applicable, herein, and, in the case of a predecessor Company or a Guarantor shall be automatically released
from its obligations thereunder; provided that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligations under this Indenture and the Notes in the case of a lease. 

ARTICLE VI 
 DEFAULTS AND
REMEDIES 
 SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the

(5) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture which default

principal amount of the Notes; 
 (6) the failure to pay at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace
periods and any extensions thereto) the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company, or any other default resulting in the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness, if
the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, aggregates $100.0 million or more at
any time; provided that if any such default is cured or waived or any acceleration rescinded or such Indebtedness is repaid within a period of twenty (20) days from the continuation of such default beyond any applicable grace period or
the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default under this Indenture and any consequential acceleration of the Notes shall automatically be rescinded so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or
decree; 
 (7) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $100.0 million (to the extent not covered by
independent third party insurance as to which the insurer has not disclaimed coverage) shall have been rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 90
days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; 
 (8) except
as permitted by this Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction in any non-appealable judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or
invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any Person acting on behalf of any such Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm in writing its obligations under its Guarantee; or

 (9) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(ii) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or
answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under applicable Bankruptcy Law; 
 (iii) consents to the appointment of a

Significant Subsidiary is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; 

  
 -47- 













 (ii) appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or
other similar official of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or 

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; and the order or decree remains unstayed
and in effect for 60 consecutive days. 
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. 

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the
Company) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee, by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare all
amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately. The Trustee may
withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in the Holders’ interest. The Trustee shall have no
obligation to accelerate the Notes if the Trustee in its best judgment determines that acceleration is not in the best interests of the Holders. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01 hereof with
respect to the Company, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder. 
 (c) At any time after an acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in Sections 6.02(a) and (b), but
before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences: 

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

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

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 to collect
the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay
or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note 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. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 6.02 hereof, Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder (except a
continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Notes) (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer). 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 impair any right consequent thereon. 

  
 -48- 













 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then total outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note may institute and proceeding or pursue any
remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice
that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (2) Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes
have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60
days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (5) Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the total outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request within such 60-day period. 

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

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a
Note to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer but excluding any payments due by reason of an
acceleration which has been cured or waived), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on
overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount 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 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding
to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination
in such proceedings, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding has been instituted. 
 SECTION 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or
remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

  
 -49- 













 SECTION 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of
any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

SECTION 6.12. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as
may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such
matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee on behalf
of such Holder, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money,
securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of
any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 SECTION 6.13. Priorities. If the Trustee or any Agent collects any money or property pursuant
to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 
 (i) to the Trustee, such Agent, their
agents and attorneys for amounts due under this Indenture, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee or such Agent and the costs and expenses of collection; 

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

(iii) to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including a Guarantor, if applicable.

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.13. 

SECTION 6.14. 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 a 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 6.14 does not apply to a
suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

 ARTICLE VII 

TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.01.
Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture on behalf of the Holders, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

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

(i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and 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; and 

(ii) in the absence of willful misconduct or 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. However, 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 examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate
the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this paragraph
(c) does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable
for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved in a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.02, 6.04 or 6.05 hereof. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01. 

(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of
the Holders unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

(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 Company. Money
held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 SECTION 7.02. Rights of
Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation
into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at
the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

  
 -51- 













 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its
selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney
appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be
authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this
Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer. 
 (f) None of the
provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. 

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 

(h) 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. 

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

(j) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 (k) The permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture
shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein. 
 (l) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and
premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company, and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

(m) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder. 

  
 -52- 













 (n) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names
of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 
 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 otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. 

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture,
it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in
connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
 SECTION 7.05. Notice
of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to Holders a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default
relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests
of the Holders. 
 SECTION 7.06. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance
of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the
Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its
services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all
loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder
(including the reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or any
Guarantor, or any other Person or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder) (but excluding taxes imposed on such persons in connection with compensation for such administration or
performance). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim
and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by
the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 To secure the payment obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the
Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except for money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. 

  
 -53- 













 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(9) or (10) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy
Law. 
 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall
become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such removal. The Company may remove the
Trustee if: 
 (A) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the
Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (B) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(C) the Trustee 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 Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 

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

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

The resigning Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any action or inaction of a successor Trustee. 

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE
AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at its option
and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors with respect to the Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.


  
 -54- 













 SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise under
Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their
obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof, to have cured all then existing Events
of Default and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (A) the
rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04
hereof; 
 (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of
Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 

(C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company’s obligations in connection
therewith; and 
 (D) this Section 8.02. 

Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 SECTION 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under
Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the
covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 4.11 hereof and clause (ii) of Section 5.01(a), and Section 5.01(b) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set
forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and
the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation
set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document, and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and the Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon
the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(4), 6.01(5) (solely with respect
to the covenants that are released upon a Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(6), 6.01(7), 6.01(8) , 6.01(9) (solely with respect to the Company’s Subsidiaries) and 6.01(10) (solely with respect to the Company’s Subsidiaries) hereof shall not
constitute Events of Default. 
 SECTION 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes: 
 (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in
trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest), in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company must
specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date; provided, that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable 

  
 -55- 













 
Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the
date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable
Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such
redemption; 
 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions 
 (A) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or 
 (B) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a
change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall
confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, 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 Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that,
subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (4) no Default (other than
that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such deposit; 
 (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is bound (other
than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case, the
granting of Liens in connection therewith); 
 (6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code; 

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

(8) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel
may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

  
 -56- 













 SECTION 8.05. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other
Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this
Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof 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 Agent (including the Company or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium
and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any
such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Anything in this Article VIII to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would
then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 SECTION 8.06. Repayment to
Company. Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of
such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 

SECTION 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, 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 Company’s and the
Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE IX 
 AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Company, any
Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee or this Indenture to which it is a party) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and any Guarantee or Notes without the consent of any Holder: 

(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; 

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

(3) to comply with Section 5.01 hereof and to provide the assumption of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s
obligations to the Holders; 

  
 -57- 













 (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits
to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 

(5) to add any Person as a Guarantor; 

(6) to comply with any requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act; 
 (7) to remove a Guarantor which, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, ceases to be liable
in respect of its Guarantee; 
 (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under this Indenture by a
successor Trustee; 
 (9) to secure all of the Notes; 

(10) to add to the covenants of the Company or any Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power
conferred upon the Company or any Guarantor; 
 (11) to conform the text of this Indenture, Guarantees or the Notes to any
provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum; 
 (12) to release and discharge any
Liens securing the Notes and the Guarantees when permitted by this Indenture 
 (13) to provide for the issuance of
Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (14) to provide for the issuance of exchange notes or
private exchange notes, which are identical to exchange notes except that they are not freely transferable; and 
 (15) to
make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided, that (a) compliance
with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, or any other applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does
not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes. 
 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution
of the Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof (to the extent requested by the Trustee), the Trustee shall
join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained,
but the Trustee shall have the right, but not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion
of Counsel nor an Officer’s Certificate shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form
of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, provided that the execution thereof shall be deemed a representation by such Guarantor(s) that all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, relating to the execution of such supplemental
indenture have been satisfied and the supplemental indenture is enforceable in accordance with its terms subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws affecting the rights and remedies
of creditors generally and (ii) general principles of equity.

 SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. Except as provided below in this
Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes,
if any) then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of
Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of
this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes); Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this
Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any
such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof,
the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment
or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of Notes given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered
invalid by such tender. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall
deliver to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any
such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver under this
Section 9.02 may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder: 

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, including the waiver
of Defaults or Events of Default, or to a rescission and cancellation of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes; 
 (2)
reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Notes, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption, or reduce the redemption price therefor; provided that any amendment to the minimum notice requirement may
be made with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of Notes then outstanding; 
 (3) reduce
the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Notes; 
 (4) waive a Default in
the payment of principal of or interest on any Note, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment Default that resulted from such
acceleration; 
 (5) make any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 

(6) make any change in this Article IX that is materially adverse to the Holders; 

  
 -59- 













 (7) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture protecting the right
of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment; 

(8) contractually subordinate the Notes or the Guarantees to any other Indebtedness in a manner materially adverse to Holders;
or 
 (9) release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this
Indenture, except as permitted by this Indenture. 
 SECTION 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if
notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

The Company 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 Holders 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 Holders 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 Holders has been obtained. 
 SECTION 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The
Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new
Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the
validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee
shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an
amendment, supplement or waiver until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying conclusively upon, in addition to the
documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment,
supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor an Officer’s Certificate will be required for the Trustee to execute any
amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture.

 ARTICLE X 

GUARANTEES 
 SECTION
10.01. Guarantee. Subject to this Article X, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on an unsecured basis, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to
the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that (a) the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on
the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the
Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, including for expenses, indemnification or otherwise, shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or
renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of
any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same promptly. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than payment in full of all of the obligations of the Company hereunder and under the Notes). Each Guarantor
hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company,
protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture or by release in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture. 
 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the
Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 
 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or
otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, then any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, then this
Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 Until terminated in accordance with
Section 10.06, each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor
further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of
this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in
Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so
long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees. 
 Each Guarantee shall remain in full
force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or
trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Notes are, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such
payment had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so
rescinded, reduced, re-stored or returned. 
 In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

  
 -61- 













 The Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general unsecured senior obligation of such
Guarantor and shall be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any. 

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any
kind or nature. 
 SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Notes, each Holder,
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be
limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive
contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article X, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in
an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 

SECTION 10.03. Execution and Delivery. 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no
longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The
delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 

If required by Section 4.11 hereof, the Company shall cause any newly created or acquired Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of
Section 4.11 hereof and this Article X, to the extent applicable. 
 SECTION 10.04. Subrogation. Subject to the fifth paragraph
of Section 10.01 and Section 10.02, each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided
that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this
Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full. 
 SECTION 10.05. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it
will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

SECTION 10.06. Release of Guarantees. Each Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged
and shall thereupon terminate and be of no further force and effect, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee: 

(1) upon any sale or other disposition (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) all or substantially
all of the assets of that Guarantor in accordance with this Indenture or (ii) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, in each case, after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary; 

  
 -62- 













 (2) if such Guarantor merges with and into the Company or another Guarantor
that is a Subsidiary of the Company, with the Company or such other Guarantor surviving such merger; 
 (3) upon the exercise
by the Company of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article VIII hereof or the discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture as described in Article VIII hereof; 

(4) if a Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guarantor is not otherwise required to
provide a Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.11; or 
 (5) upon the release or
discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (to the extent the reason that the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor was provided was because of its guarantee of obligations under the Credit Agreement),
or the release or discharge of such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee (to the extent the reason that the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor was provided was because of such other guarantee), except, in each case, a
discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be
reinstated to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.11. 

ARTICLE XI 
 SATISFACTION AND
DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further
effect as to all Notes, when either: 
 (1) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or
destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company as provided for hereunder) have been
delivered to the Registrar for cancellation; and 
 (i) the Company has paid all sums payable under this Indenture by the
Company, and 
 (ii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating
that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; or 

(2) the Company shall have given notice of redemption of all of the Notes, all of the Notes shall have otherwise become due and
payable or all of the Notes will become due and payable, or may be called for redemption, within one year, and 
 (i) the
Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee or another trustee funds, in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will
be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest) to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness (including all principal and accrued interest) on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, together with
irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; provided, that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium,
the 

  
 -63- 













 
amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the
notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the
Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption; 

(ii) the Company has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; and 

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

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause
(i) of clause (2) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 

SECTION 11.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or a Guarantor
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government
Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

5.625% Senior Note due 2027 

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 

1. INTEREST. The William Carter Company (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a

September 15, 2019 or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The Company will make each interest payment to the Holder of record of this Note on the
immediately preceding March 1 and September 1 (each, a “Record Date”). Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of
issuance; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 15, 2019. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any,
from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Note; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from
time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Note. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on this Note to the Person who is the registered Holder of this Note at the close of
business on the Record Date (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if this Note is cancelled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the
Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Indenture or, at the option of
the Company, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Note Register, provided that (a) all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on, Notes represented by Global Notes registered in the

certificated Notes will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such
effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. If a payment date is on a day that is not a Business Day, payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the

This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[            
] principal amount of the 5.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) of The William Carter Company (the “Company”). 

Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows: 

Name:
                                         
                                

Address:

 The undersigned represents and warrants to you that: 

1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes,
for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its
investment. 
 2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold
except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of
the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Company or
any Subsidiary thereof, (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 

  
 E-1 













 
144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that is purchasing
for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales to non-U.S. persons that occur
outside the United States of America within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that
is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Notes of $250,000, for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in
connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law
that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply
subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from
the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3)
or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the
offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee.
