thereupon authenticate and deliver Notes upon a written order of the Issuer 

  
 8 








 
(an “Authentication Order”), such order signed on behalf of the Issuer by two Officers of the General Partner or by an Officer of the General Partner and either an Assistant
Treasurer or any Assistant Secretary of the General Partner, without any further action by the Issuer hereunder. 
 The aggregate principal
amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited; provided, that upon initial issuance, the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding shall not exceed $350,000,000, except as provided in
Sections 2.07 and 2.08 hereof. The Issuer may, without the consent of the Holders of Notes, issue Additional Notes from time to time in the future in an unlimited principal amount, subject to compliance with the terms of this
Indenture, including Section 2.11 hereof. 
 Section 2.02. Form of Notes. Notes issued in global form will be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in
the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes
as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from
time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby
will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture
and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the
officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required by the Custodian, the Depositary or as may be required to
comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any
special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject. 
 So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry
settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, or otherwise contemplated by Section 2.06(b) hereof, all of the Notes will be represented by one or more Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests
in any such Global Note shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Except as provided in Section 2.06(b) hereof, beneficial owners of a Global Note shall
not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered Holders of such Global Note. 

Section 2.03. Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest. The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and 

  
 9 








 
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the form of Note attached as
Exhibit A hereto. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Note Register at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Record
Date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date. Interest shall be payable at the office of the Issuer maintained by the Issuer for such purposes in the City of St. Paul,
Minnesota, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Issuer shall pay interest (i) on any Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Note Register;
provided, however, that a Holder of any Notes in certificated form in the aggregate principal amount of more than $2.0 million may specify by written notice to the Issuer that it pay interest by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account specified by the Noteholder in such notice, or (ii) any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest shall accrue thereon. The term “Record Date” with respect to any interest payment date shall mean the January 15 or July 15 preceding the applicable
February 1 or August 1 interest payment date, respectively. 
 No other payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on
an exchanged Note. 
 Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any February 1 or
August 1 (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Noteholder registered as such on the relevant Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election in
each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following
manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than twenty-five (25) calendar days after the receipt by
the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of monies equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such monies when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause
provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen (15) calendar days and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the proposed
payment, and not less than ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment (unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such special record
date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the 

  
 10 








 
special record date therefor to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission), first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than
ten (10) calendar days prior to such special record date (unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following
clause (b) of this Section 2.03. 
 (2) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated
quotation system, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Section 2.04. Execution of Notes. The Notes shall be signed, in the name and on behalf of the Issuer, manually or by facsimile or
other electronic imaging means by an Officer of the General Partner. The Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate Notes for issue under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of
Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.08 hereof. 

Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Note attached as
Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.11 hereof), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder
is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 In case any Officer of the General Partner who shall have signed any of the Notes shall
cease to be such Officer of the General Partner before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Issuer, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though
the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the General Partner, and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper Officers of the
General Partner, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer of the General Partner. 

Section 2.05. Note Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Note
Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Note Registrar will keep a register of the 

  
 11 








 
Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”). The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Note
Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Note Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in
writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Note Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as
Paying Agent or Note Registrar. 
 The Issuer initially appoints the DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Note Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global
Notes. 
 The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for
the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer 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. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the
Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or its Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it will 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 Issuer, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

Section 2.06. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer.

Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by
the Issuer for Definitive Notes if:

exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.09 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 will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will 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 will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on
such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 
 (h) General Provisions
Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 
 (1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute
and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof or at the Note Registrar’s request. 

(2) No service charge will 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 Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such


  
 15 








 
transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.08, 3.03 and 9.04 hereof). 

(3) The Note Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (4) All Global Notes and Definitive
Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, 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. 
 (5) Neither the Note Registrar nor the Issuer
will be required: 
 (A) to issue, register the transfer of or to exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening
of business fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing; or 

(B) to register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion
of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 (6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the
Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may 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 interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and
none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (7) The Trustee will
authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04 hereof. 
 (8)
All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Note Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile or other electronic

 (9) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participants, indirect Participants or
any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the books or records, or the acts or omissions, of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the
delivery to any Participants, Indirect Participants or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to
be given to the Noteholders and all payments to be made to Noteholders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Noteholders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The
rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the customary procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be 

  
 16 








 
fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Participants. 

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on
transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants in any Global Note) other than to require deliver of such certificates and
other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

 Section 2.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or
stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a new Note, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case, the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if
applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction,
loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof. 

Following receipt by the Trustee or such authenticating agent, as the case may be, of satisfactory security or indemnity and evidence, as
described in the preceding paragraph, the Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and make available for delivery such Note. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the Issuer may require the payment by the
Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for
redemption, as the case may be, shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of, as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the
Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or in connection with such substitution,
and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership
thereof. 
 Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 by virtue of the fact that any Note is
destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all
the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions
are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment 

  
 17 








 
or exchange or redemption of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to
the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or redemption of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 

Section 2.08. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Notes in certificated form, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee or an
authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Issuer, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in
the form of the Notes in certificated form, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Issuer. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Issuer and
authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Notes in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will execute and deliver to
the Trustee or such authenticating agent Notes in certificated form and thereupon any or all temporary Notes may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof and
the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes in certificated form. Such exchange shall be made by the Issuer at its own
expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Notes in certificated form authenticated and
delivered hereunder. 
 Section 2.09. Cancellation of Notes. All Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption or
registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Issuer or any Paying Agent, which shall initially be the Trustee, or any Note Registrar, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be
promptly canceled by it and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures, with copies
of such cancelled Notes and related documentation provided to the Issuer. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until
the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.10. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use
“CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders; 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 a 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 Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 

Section 2.11. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Issuer will be entitled, upon delivery of an Officers’ Certificate, Opinion
of Counsel and Authentication Order, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09 hereof, to issue Additional Notes under the Indenture that will have identical terms to and the same CUSIP number as the Initial Notes issued on the date of
this Indenture 

  
 18 








 
other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of the Additional Notes; provided, that such Additional Notes must be part of the
same issue as and fungible with the Initial Notes for United States federal income tax purposes. The Initial Notes and any such Additional Notes will constitute a single series of debt securities, and in circumstances in which this Indenture
provides for the Holders of Notes to vote or take any action, the Holders of Initial Notes and the Holders of any such Additional Notes will vote or take the action as a single class. 

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer will set forth in a resolution of its Board of Directors and an Officers’ Certificate, a
copy of each of which will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
 (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional
Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and 
 (2) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such
Additional Notes. 
 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION OF NOTES 

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption of Notes. 

(a) The Issuer shall have the right to redeem the Notes at its option and in its sole discretion at any time or from time to time prior to the
Maturity Date, in whole or in part. The redemption price (“Redemption Price”) will equal the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of
the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date,
discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points (0.35% or thirty-five one-hundredths of one percent), plus, in each case,
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

(b) The Issuer shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a) hereof on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has
been accelerated, and such an acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Issuer in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes to be
redeemed). 
 Section 3.02. Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes. In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise the
right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, it shall fix a date for redemption and it or, at its written request 

  
 19 








 
received by the Trustee not fewer than five (5) Business Days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date the notice of redemption is to be mailed
(or sent by electronic transmission), the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall mail (or send by electronic transmission) or cause to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) a notice of such redemption not fewer than
fifteen (15) calendar days nor more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed in whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Note Register; provided,
that if the Issuer makes such request of the Trustee, it shall, together with such request, also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee; provided further that the text of the notice shall be prepared by the Issuer. Such
mailing shall be by first class mail (unless sent by electronic transmission). The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case,
failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. 

Each such notice of redemption shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP number or
numbers, if any, of the Notes being redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the Redemption Price at which Notes are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made
upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and (vi) that interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portion thereof
to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any). In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of
redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof
will be issued. 
 Whenever any Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer will give the Trustee written notice of the Redemption Date, together
with an Officers’ Certificate as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed not fewer than fifteen (15) calendar days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date. 

On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Issuer will
deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04 hereof) an amount of monies in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the
Redemption Date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for redemption at the appropriate Redemption Price; provided, that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date, it must be received by the Paying Agent, by 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on such date. The Issuer shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price.

 If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Note
or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), on a pro rata 

  
 20 








 
basis or such other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate or is required by the Depositary. The Notes (or portions thereof) so selected for redemption shall be deemed duly selected for
redemption for all purposes hereof. 
 Section 3.03. Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by the Issuer. If notice of
redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such
notice at the Redemption Price, and unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price, so long as Paying Agent holds funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date,
then (a) such Notes will cease to be outstanding on and after the Redemption Date, (b) interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, (c) after 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) and, except as provided in Section 7.05 and Section 11.02 hereof,
such Notes will cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and (d) the Holders of the Notes shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and
surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the
Redemption Date. 
 Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes so presented. 

Section 3.04. Sinking Fund. There shall be no sinking fund provided for the Notes.

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

The Issuer shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a
sum (in funds which are immediately available on the due date for such payment) sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee


  
 22

things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and rights (charter and statutory); provided, that neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor shall be required to preserve any such right if the Issuer or the Guarantor,
as applicable, shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Noteholders. 
 Section 4.06. Reports. 

(a) Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to

 (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with
the Commission on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports,

 23 








 
regulations of the Commission, whichever is earlier. Reports, information and documents filed with the Commission via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval
system (“EDGAR”) will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via EDGAR for purposes of this covenant; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or
not such information, documents or reports have been filed via EDGAR. 
 All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in
accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the Issuer’s consolidated financial statements by its independent registered public accounting firm, unless

file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the Commission will
not accept such a filing) and will make the reports available on its website within fifteen (15) days after it files such reports with the Commission. 

If the Issuer is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Issuer will nevertheless
continue filing the reports specified in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission within the time periods specified above unless the Commission will not accept such a filing. The Issuer will not take any action for the purpose of

paragraphs (a) of this Section 4.06, the Issuer will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act. 
 Section 4.07. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
that it 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 or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Issuer from paying all or any portion of the
principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture and the Issuer (to the extent it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

and the Guarantor, as the case may be, stating whether or not the signer has knowledge of any Default under this Indenture, and, if so, specifying each Default and the nature and the status thereof. 

The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, within thirty (30) calendar days of becoming aware of (i) any default in the performance or
observance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, or (ii) any Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying with particularity such default or Event of Default and further stating what action the
Issuer has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Any notice required to be given under this Section 4.08
shall be delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 4.09. Limitations on Incurrence
of Debt. 
 (a) Limitation on Total Outstanding Debt. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur
any Debt, other than Intercompany Debt and guarantees of Debt incurred by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries in compliance with this Indenture, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds
thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all of the Issuer’s and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Debt on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is greater than 60% of the sum of (without
duplication) (1) Total Assets as of the end of the Issuer’s most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (2) the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired,
and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such calendar
quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt. 
 (b) Limitation on Secured
Debt. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt, other than Intercompany Debt and guarantees of Debt incurred by Issuer or its Subsidiaries in compliance with this Indenture, secured by any mortgage,
lien, charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest of any kind upon any of Issuer’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ property if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof,
the aggregate principal amount of all of Issuer’s and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Debt on a consolidated basis which is secured by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest on Issuer’s or its
Subsidiaries’ property is greater than 40% of the sum of (without duplication) (1) Total Assets as of the end of the Issuer’s most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (2) the
purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce
Debt), by Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such calendar quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt; provided, that for purposes of this limitation, the amount of


  
 25 








 
obligations under capital leases shown as a liability on Issuer’s consolidated balance sheet shall be deducted from Debt and from Total Assets. 

(c) Ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt Service Charge. The Issuer will not, and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt, other than Intercompany Debt and guarantees of Debt by Issuer or its Subsidiaries in compliance with this Indenture, if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt
Service Charge for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5 to 1.0, on an unaudited pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to
the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that: (1) such Debt and any other Debt incurred by Issuer and its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds
therefrom, including to refinance other Debt, had occurred at the beginning of such period; (2) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt by Issuer and its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had been repaid or
retired at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period); (3) in the case of
Acquired Debt or Debt incurred in connection with any acquisition since the first day of such four-quarter period, the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period, with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such
acquisition being included in such unaudited pro forma calculation; and (4) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by Issuer or its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets or other placement of any assets in service or removal of
any assets from service by Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition, disposition, placement in service or removal from
service, or any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period, with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition, disposition, placement in service or removal from service, being included in such unaudited
pro forma calculation. 
 (d) Maintenance of Unencumbered Total Asset Value. The Issuer, together with its Subsidiaries, will at all
times maintain an Unencumbered Total Asset Value in an amount not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Issuer’s and its Subsidiaries’ unsecured Debt, taken as a whole. 

Section 4.10. Insurance. The Issuer will, and will cause of each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain insurance with financially sound
and reputable insurance companies against such risks and in such amounts as is customarily maintained by Persons engaged in similar businesses or as may be required by applicable law. 

Section 4.11. Additional Interest Notice. In the event that the Issuer is required to pay Additional Interest to Holders of Notes
pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer will provide written notice (“Additional Interest Notice”) to the Trustee of its obligation to pay Additional Interest no later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the proposed
interest payment date for Additional Interest, and the Additional Interest Notice shall set forth the amount of Additional Interest to be paid by the Issuer on such interest payment date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Additional Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent or calculation of the amount of Additional Interest when made, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the
Additional Interest.

 ARTICLE 6 

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND NOTEHOLDERS ON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT 

Section 6.01. Events of Default. In case one or more of the following (each an “Event of Default”) (whatever the

body) shall have occurred and be continuing: 
 (a) default for ninety (90) days in the payment of any installment of interest under
the Notes; or 
 (b) default in the payment of the principal amount or Redemption Price due with respect to the Notes, when the same becomes
due and payable; provided, however, that a valid extension of the Maturity Date in accordance with the terms hereof shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal; or 

(c) the Issuer fails to comply with any of the Issuer’s other agreements contained in the Notes or this Indenture upon receipt by the
Issuer of notice of such default by the Trustee or by Holders of not less than twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and the Issuer fails to cure (or obtain a waiver of) such default within ninety

 (d) failure to pay any indebtedness for monies borrowed by the Issuer, the
Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer in an outstanding principal amount in excess of $35,000,000 at final maturity or upon acceleration after the expiration of any applicable grace period, which indebtedness is not discharged, or
such default in payment or acceleration is not cured or rescinded, within thirty (30) days after written notice to the Issuer from the Trustee (or to the Issuer and the Trustee from Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes); or 
 (e) the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer pursuant to or
under or within meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commences a voluntary case or proceeding seeking liquidation,
reorganization or other relief with respect to the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or its debts or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Issuer, the
Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or any substantial part of the property of the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer; or 

(ii) consents to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or
other proceeding commenced against the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer; or 
 (iii) consents
to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or 
 (iv) makes a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; or 

  
 28 








 (f) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Issuer, the Guarantor
or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or any substantial part of the property of the
Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of thirty (30) calendar days; or 

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

(i) is for relief against the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer in an involuntary case or
proceeding; or 
 (ii) appoints a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Issuer, the
Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or any substantial part of the property of the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer; or 

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer; 

and, in each case in this clause (g), the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for thirty (30) calendar days, 

then, in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) hereof with
respect to the Issuer), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by
notice in writing to the Issuer and the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Noteholders), may declare the principal amount of and premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, and upon any
such declaration the same shall be immediately due and payable. 
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e),
6.01(f) or 6.01(g) hereof occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal amount of and premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on all the Notes shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without necessity of
further action. 
 If, at any time after the principal amount of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall have been so declared
due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, subject in all respects to
Section 6.07 hereof, if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest that have become 

  
 29 








 
due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair
any right consequent thereon. The Issuer shall notify in writing a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware thereof, of any Event of Default, as provided in Section 4.08 hereof. 

The sole remedy for any violation of any obligations the Issuer or the General Partner may be deemed to have pursuant to section 314(a)(1) of
the Trust Indenture Act or for the Issuer’s or Guarantor’s breach of Section 4.06 hereof shall be the accrual of additional interest on the Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum, payable semiannually (the “Additional
Interest”). In no event shall Additional Interest accrue at a per annum rate in excess of 0.50% per annum pursuant to this Indenture, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such
Additional Interest. 
 In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall be
restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken. 

Section 6.02. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. The Issuer covenants that in the case of an Event of Default pursuant
to Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) hereof, upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, (i) the whole amount that then shall be due and payable on all such Notes for
principal and premium, if any, or interest, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of
accrued and unpaid interest at the rate borne by the Notes, plus 1%, from the required payment date and, (ii) in addition thereto, any amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Issuer
may pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the registered Holders, whether or not the Notes are overdue. 

In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be
payable.

the Notes under any Bankruptcy Law, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer
or such other obligor, the property of the Issuer or such other obligor, or in the case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors


  
 30 








 
or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise
and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02 hereof, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or
claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, 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 and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof, and to take any other action with respect to such claims, including
participating as a member of any official committee of creditors, as it reasonably deems necessary or advisable, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator,
custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee
any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including counsel fees and expenses incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses,
advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings 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, monies, securities and other
property which the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery
of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes. 

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings. 

Section 6.03. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6,
shall be applied, in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if
fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof; 

  
 31 








 SECOND: In case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid,

Section 6.02 hereof upon the overdue installments of interest at the annual rate of 1% above then applicable interest rate, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto; 

THIRD: In case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the
whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue
installments of accrued and unpaid interest, as provided in Section 6.02 hereof, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal and
premium, if any, and interest without preference or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note
over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest; and 
 FOURTH: To the
payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto. 
 Section 6.04. Proceedings by
Noteholders. No Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, except in the case of a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, unless (a) such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, (b) the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable security or indemnity as it may require
against the costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred therein or thereby, (c) the Trustee for ninety (90) calendar days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding and (d) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by
the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable
and common benefit of all Holders of Notes (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.04, each and every Noteholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either
at law or in equity. 

  
 32 








 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of
any Holder of any Note to receive payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 3 hereof) and premium, if any, and accrued interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed
in such Note or in the event of redemption, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates against the Issuer shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 6.05. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and
enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether
for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by
law. 
 Section 6.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee
or to the Noteholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to
enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of
Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or any acquiescence therein, and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04 hereof, every power
and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders. 

Section 6.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Noteholders. The Holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee; provided, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take any other action which is not inconsistent with such direction, (c) the Trustee may
decline to take any action that would benefit some Noteholders to the detriment of other Noteholders or otherwise be unduly prejudicial to the Noteholders not joining therein and (d) the Trustee may decline to take any action that would involve
the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such
action. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all
of the Notes, waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 3 hereof),
premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, unless such default has been cured and the Issuer or the Guarantor has deposited with the Trustee all required payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest

including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration) or (ii) a default in respect of a covenant or provisions hereof which under Article 9 hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of
all Notes then outstanding or each Note affected thereby. 
 Upon any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall

subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such
suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, that the provisions of this Section 6.09 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted
by the Issuer or the Guarantor, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in principal amount of the Notes at the time

Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set 

  
 34 








 
forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture,
and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. 

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or
waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred: 
 (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in
the absence of bad faith and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine
the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; 
 (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any
error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the written
direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined as provided in Section 8.04 hereof relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; 
 (d) whether or not
therein provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.04;

relating to payment) or notice effected by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) or any records maintained by any co-registrar (other than the Trustee) with respect to the Notes; 

(f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to
the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred unless a 

  
 35 








 
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless the Trustee has otherwise received written notice thereof; and 

(g) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default hereunder unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual

reasonably assured to it.

required under this Indenture and the Notes. Issuer will make such calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, Issuer’s calculations will be final and binding on Holders of the Notes. Issuer will provide a schedule of its

of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance on and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; 

(d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or

which may be incurred therein or thereby;

in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, 

  
 36

Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney; 

(f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder; 

(g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to

individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person
specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded; and 
 (j) any permissive right or authority
granted to the Trustee shall not be construed as a mandatory duty. 
 Section 7.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, etc. The
recitals contained herein and in the Notes (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any Notes or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Section 7.04. Trustee, Paying Agents or Registrar May Own Notes. The
Trustee, any Paying Agent or Note Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent or Note Registrar. 

Section 7.05. Monies to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02 hereof, all monies received by
the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Monies held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any monies received by it hereunder except as may be agreed in writing from time to time by the Issuer and the Trustee. 

  
 37 








 Section 7.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Issuer covenants and agrees
to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee
of an express trust) as mutually agreed to from time to time in writing between the Issuer and the Trustee, and the Issuer will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred
or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness or bad faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (or any officer, director or employee of the Trustee),
in any capacity under this Indenture and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or reasonable expense including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred
without negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness or bad faith on the part of the Trustee or such officers, directors, employees or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust or in any other capacity hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person) of liability in the premises. The
obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Notes upon
all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes. The obligation of the Issuer under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) hereof with respect to the Issuer occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute reasonable expenses of administration
under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws. 
 Section 7.07. Officers’ Certificate as Evidence. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 7.01 hereof, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder,
such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee. 
 Section 7.08. Conflicting Interests of Trustee. If the
Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust
Indenture Act and this Indenture. 
 Section 7.09. Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which
shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or if such Person is a member of a bank 

  
 38 








 
holding company system, its bank holding company shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000). If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.09 the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its
most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article. 
 Section 7.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and to the Holders of Notes. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy
to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) calendar days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Noteholders, the resigning Trustee may, upon
ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Issuer and the Noteholders, appoint a successor identified in such notice or may petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee,
or, if any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.09 hereof, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for
the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. 

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: 

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08 hereof after written request therefor by the Issuer or by
any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months; or 
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Noteholder; or 

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee
or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; 

then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board
of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.09 hereof, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note
or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee; provided, that if no
successor Trustee shall have been 

  
 39 








 
appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) calendar days after either the Issuer or the Noteholders has removed the Trustee, or the Trustee resigns, the Trustee so removed may
petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee. 
 (c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions
of this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11 hereof. 

(d) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.10, the Issuer’s obligations under
Section 7.06 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.11. Acceptance by Successor
Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder,
with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amount then due it pursuant to the provisions of
Section 7.06 hereof, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all
instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property and funds held or collected by such
trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section7.06 hereof. 

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless, at the time of such acceptance, such
successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 hereof and be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09 hereof. 

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.11, the Issuer (or the former trustee, at the
written direction of the Issuer) shall mail (or send by electronic transmission) or cause to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders of Notes at their addresses as they shall
appear on the Note Register. If the Issuer fails to mail such notice within ten (10) calendar days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Issuer. 
 Section 7.12. Succession by Merger. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or exchanged or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, exchange or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee
(including any trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the 

  
 40 








 
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided, that in the case of any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 hereof and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09 hereof. 

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in
case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or any authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such
cases such certificates shall have the full force that is provided in the Notes or in this Indenture; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any
predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, exchange or consolidation. 
 Section 7.13.
Preferential Collection of Claims. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection
of the claims against the Issuer (or any such other obligor). 
 ARTICLE 8 

THE NOTEHOLDERS 

Section 8.01. Action by Noteholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the
Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Noteholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record
of the Holders of Notes voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Noteholders, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Noteholders. Whenever the Issuer or the Trustee solicits the
taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Issuer or the Trustee may fix in advance of such solicitation a date as the Record Date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The Record Date, if any, shall be not more than
fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action. 
 Section 8.02. Proof of
Execution by Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Noteholder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such
reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the registry of such Notes or by a certificate of the Note Registrar. 

Section 8.03. Absolute Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name
such Note shall be registered upon the Note 

  
 41 








 
Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any
Person other than the Issuer or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 3 hereof), premium, if any, and interest on such
Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall
be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Note. 

Section 8.04. Issuer-owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of
Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture or whether a quorum is present at a meeting of the Holders of the Notes, Notes which are owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes or any
Affiliate of the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided, that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected
in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes which a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the
purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer, any other obligor on the Notes or any Affiliate of the
Issuer or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee
promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons, and, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall
be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. 

Section 8.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as
provided in Section 8.01 hereof, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note which is shown by
the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02 hereof, revoke
such action so far as it concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in
exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor. 

ARTICLE 9

 Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 9.01 may be

to, enter into such supplemental indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders under this

qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, nor shall it constitute any admission or acknowledgment by any party to such supplemental indenture that
any such qualification is required prior to the time, if ever, such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Upon the execution of any

successor Person had been named as the Issuer herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be released and discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes. 

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in
substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
 Section 10.03. Guarantor May Consolidate on
Certain Terms. Nothing contained in this Indenture or in the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Guarantor with or into any other Person or Persons (whether or not affiliated with the Guarantor), or successive consolidations

of the Guarantor, to any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Guarantor); provided, however, that the following conditions are met:

of all of the covenants and conditions in this Indenture; 
 (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default and no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (c) either the Guarantor or the successor Person, in either case, shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate of the Guarantor and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that 

  
 46 








 
such consolidation, sale, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture comply with this Article 10 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating
to such transaction have been complied with. 
 No such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease shall be permitted by
this Section 10.03 unless prior thereto the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force

succeed to, and be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if the Guarantor or such Subsidiary had been named as the Issuer herein and the Issuer shall be released from all
obligations and covenants with respect to the Notes. No such assumption shall be permitted unless the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such assumption and
supplemental indenture comply with this Article 10, and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with and that, in the event of assumption by a Subsidiary, the Guarantee and all other
covenants of the Guarantor herein remain in full force and effect and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel that the Holders of Notes shall have no materially adverse United States federal tax consequences as a result of such assumption, and

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
 Section 11.01. Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as
to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly provided for and except as further provided below), and the Trustee, on demand of and 

  
 47 








 
at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when (a) either: (1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and
delivered (other than (i) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 11.04 hereof and (ii) Notes for whose payment monies have theretofore been deposited in trust
and thereafter repaid to the Issuer as provided in Section 11.04 hereof) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (2) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due
and payable, whether at the Maturity Date, or otherwise, or (ii) are to be called for redemption under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
Issuer, and the Issuer, in the case of clause (1) or (2) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or a Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or any of its Affiliates), as applicable, as trust
funds in trust cash in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have
become due and payable) or to the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that there shall not exist, on the date of such deposit, a Default or Event of Default; provided, further, that
such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or to which the Issuer is bound; (b) the Issuer has paid or caused to

provisions of Section 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 5.01 hereof and this Article 11, shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. 

Section 11.02. Deposited Monies to Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 11.04 hereof, all monies deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05 hereof shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Noteholders, and such monies shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the
Issuer if acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the particular Notes for the payment or redemption of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal, premium, if any, and
interest. The Trustee is not responsible to anyone for interest on any deposited funds except as agreed in writing. 
 Section 11.03.
Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.04 hereof, the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of the Noteholders, all monies deposited with it pursuant to

 48 








 
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment, may, at the expense of the Issuer, either publish in a newspaper of general circulation in
The City of New York, or cause to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) to each Holder entitled to such monies, notice that such monies remain unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall be at least thirty
(30) calendar days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such monies then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to monies must look to the Issuer for payment as
general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall be relieved of all liability with respect to such monies. 

Section 11.05. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any monies in accordance with
Section 11.02 hereof by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’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 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such monies in accordance with Section 11.02 hereof;
provided, that if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the

 ARTICLE 12 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 12.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to
have either Section 12.02 or 12.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 12. 

Section 12.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 12.01 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 12.02, the Issuer and the Guarantor will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 12.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with
respect to all outstanding Notes and Guarantee on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantor will be deemed to
have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes and Guarantee, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 12.05 hereof and the other sections of this
Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Guarantee and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Additional
Interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 12.04 hereof; 
 (b) the
Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof; 

  
 49 








 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (d) this Article 12. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 12, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 12.02 notwithstanding the
prior exercise of its option under Section 12.03 hereof. 
 Section 12.03. Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 12.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 12.03, the Issuer
and the Guarantor will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 12.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Section 4.09, 4.10 and 4.11 hereof
with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 12.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not
“outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other
purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Guarantee, the Issuer and the Guarantor may
omit to comply with and will 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 will 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 Guarantee will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 12.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 12.03, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 12.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) and 6.01(d) hereof will not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 12.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 12.02 or 12.03 hereof: 

(a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable
Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium and
Additional Interest, if any, and interest on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date
for payment or to a particular Redemption Date; 
 (b) in the case of an election under Section 12.02 hereof, the Issuer must
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that: 

  
 50 








 (1) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling; or 
 (2) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal
income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes
will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of an election under Section 12.03 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (d) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating
to other indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced), and the granting of liens to secure such borrowings); 
 (e) such Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other indebtedness being defeased,
discharged or replaced) to which the Issuer or the Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or the Guarantor is bound; 
 (f) the Issuer
must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying
or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; and 
 (g) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

Section 12.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to Section 12.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with
the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 12.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 12.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied
by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes
of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, 

  
 51 








 
premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 12.04 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. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 12 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to
time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 12.04 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 12.04(a) 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 12.06. Repayment to Issuer. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or
Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then
held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money,
and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in the
New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. 
 Section 12.07. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with
Section 12.02 or 12.03 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 Issuer’s and the
Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantee will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.02 or 12.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 12.02 or 12.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or
interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

hereby agrees that its Guarantee 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 of the
Notes with respect to any thereof, the entry of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor
hereby waives and relinquishes: (a) any right to require the Trustee, the Holders or the Issuer (each, a “Benefited Party”) to proceed against the Issuer or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by
a Benefited Party at any time or to pursue any other remedy in any secured party’s power before proceeding against the Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any
other Person or Persons or the failure of a Benefited Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person or Persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind (except
as expressly required by this Indenture), including but not limited to notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of the Guarantor, the Issuer, any
Benefited Party, any creditor of the Guarantor or the Issuer or on the part of any other Person whomsoever in connection with any obligations the performance of which are hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by
a Benefited Party, including but not limited to an election to proceed against the Guarantor for reimbursement; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in
amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any defense arising because of a Benefited Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Law, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2)
of the Bankruptcy Code; and (g) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Guarantor hereby covenants that, except as otherwise provided therein, the Guarantee shall not
be discharged except by payment in full of all Guarantee Obligations, including the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other costs provided for under this Indenture or as provided in Article 7 hereof. 

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to either the Issuer or the Guarantor, or any trustee or similar
official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or the Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the 

  
 56 








 
Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the
Holders in respect of any Guarantee Obligations hereby until payment in full of all such obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes hereof, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
Guarantee Obligations, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such Guarantee Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for
the purpose of the Guarantee. 
 Section 15.02. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To evidence the Guarantee set forth in
Section 15.01 hereof, the Guarantor agrees that a notation of the Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit B hereto shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this
Indenture shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an Officer of the Guarantor. 
 The Guarantor agrees that the Guarantee set forth
in this Article 15 shall remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Notes notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the Guarantee. 

If an officer whose signature is on a Note or a notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the
Note on which the Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor. 

Section 15.03. Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability; Certain Bankruptcy Events. 

(a) The Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee
Obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state
law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under this Article 15 shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to
all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor, result in the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

(b) The Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees, to the fullest extent that it may do so under applicable law, that in the event of the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer, the Guarantor shall not file (or join in any filing of), or otherwise seek to participate in the filing of, any motion or request seeking to stay or to prohibit (even
temporarily) execution on the Guarantee and hereby waives and agrees not to take the benefit of any such stay of execution, whether under Section 362 or 105 of the Bankruptcy Law or otherwise.

amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past Default or Event of Default, subject to exceptions set forth in the Indenture. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall impair, as among the Issuer and the Holder of the
