revolving advances under any Qualified Receivables Financing, in which case interest expense shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period) or issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified
Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation
Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred
Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (including in the case of any Incurrence or issuance a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom). 

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions (including the Acquisition Transactions),
dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any operational changes, business realignment projects or
initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations that the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries has either determined to make or made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or
simultaneously with the Calculation Date (each, for purposes of this definition, a “pro forma event”) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions (including the Acquisition Transactions),
dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations discontinued operations, operational changes, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings and reorganizations (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the
change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, discontinued operation, operational change, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or
reorganizations, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period
as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, consolidation, operational change, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations had occurred at the beginning of the applicable
four-quarter period. 

  
 18 








  
 For purposes of this
definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company. Any such pro forma calculation may include
adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Company as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, to reflect (1) operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to
result from the applicable pro forma event (including, to the extent applicable, from the Acquisition Transactions), and (2) all adjustments of the nature used in connection with the calculation of “Adjusted EBITDA” as set forth in
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such four-quarter period. 

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be
calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of
twelve months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized
Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance
of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed
to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate.

which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional Notes (if issued as Transfer Restricted Definitive Notes) and

authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (in the case of Dollar Notes) and Exhibit B-2 hereto (in the case of Euro Notes), which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may
have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company or any Note Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the
Company). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Dollar Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, provided

 43

Exchange Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Appendix, (x) any issuance of Additional Dollar Notes after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess of $2,000 and (y) any issuance of Additional Euro Notes after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess of €100,000. 

One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be
valid nevertheless. 
 A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. The Trustee hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as
authenticating agent for the Euro Notes and the Company agrees to such appointment. Any such appointment (other than as set forth above) shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the
Company. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 
 SECTION
2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent. (a) The Company shall maintain (i) one or more paying agents (each, a “Paying Agent”) for the Notes in the United States of America in respect of the Dollar Notes and in the City of London
in respect of the Euro Notes, in each case where Notes may be presented for payment and (ii) a registrar (the “Registrar”) with offices in the United States of America in respect of the Dollar Notes and in the City of London in
respect of the Euro Notes, in each case where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange. If and for as long as the Euro Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and traded on the Euro MTF
Market, the Company will also maintain a Paying Agent and a Registrar in Luxembourg. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more additional co-registrars and one or more
additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes the Registrar and any additional co-registrars. The term “Paying Agent” includes the Paying Agent and any additional paying agents. The Company initially appoints the
Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and the Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes representing Dollar Notes. The Company initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as


  
 44 








 
Registrar, Paying Agent and the Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes representing Euro Notes. The Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch have entered into a Paying
Agency Agreement dated as of the Issue Date. 
 (b) The Company may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and
address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any of its Wholly Owned
Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 (c) The Company may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written
notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate
agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the
appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying
Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08. 
 SECTION 2.05. Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Note, the Company shall deposit with each Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold
in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a
Wholly Owned Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by
it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 

SECTION 2.06. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing annually at least five Business Days before December 4 and at
such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders. 
 SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with the
Appendix. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to 

  
 45 








 
register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an
equal principal amount of Notes of the same type of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section.
The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes for
a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 
 Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of
any Notes, the Company, the Note Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and
interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, any Note Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

SECTION 2.08. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the
Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note of the same type if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder
(a) satisfies the Company or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such
request to the Company or the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable
requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee or the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar from
any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In
the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof. Any mutilated, defaced,
destroyed, lost or stolen Euro Notes may also be surrendered at the office of the Luxembourg Paying Agent. 

  
 46 








  
 Every replacement Note
is an additional obligation of the Company. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes. 
 SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described
in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 13.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to
them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08. 

If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money
sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and
the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes of the appropriate type but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable
delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes of the same type and make them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company,
without charge to the Holder. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Notes. 
 SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them
for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary
procedures. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the
Company shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may 

  
 47 








 
pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to each affected Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code”
numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that
no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall advise the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers. 

SECTION 2.14. Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination,
shall be the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such
percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of
such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09, Section 13.06 and Section 13.17 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to
this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Company and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate. 

ARTICLE III

 48 








 
Company shall give notice to the Trustee provided for in this paragraph at least 40 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date if the redemption is pursuant to paragraph 5 of the
applicable Note, unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions
herein. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Company and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not fewer than 15 days after the date of notice to the Trustee.
Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being delivered to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 
 SECTION 3.04. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption of Dollar Notes and/or Euro Notes, the Trustee will select the Notes of such series to be redeemed on a pro
rata basis to the extent practicable; provided that no Dollar Notes of $2,000 or less and no Euro Notes of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for
redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Dollar Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000 or Euro Notes that have denominations larger than €100,000. Dollar Notes and portions of them the Trustee
selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000. Euro Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of €100,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed. 

SECTION 3.05. Notice of Optional Redemption. (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date pursuant
to paragraph 5 of the applicable Note, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered by electronic transmission or mailed by first-class mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed. 

Any such notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 

(i) the redemption date; 
 (ii) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date; 
 (iii) the name and address of the applicable Paying Agent; 
 (iv)
that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, plus accrued interest; 
 (v) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed
and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption; 
 (vi) that, unless
the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this 

  
 49 








 
Indenture, interest on Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

(vii) the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or “Common Code”, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed; and 

(viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or “Common
Code”, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 (b) When and so long as the Euro Notes are listed on the
Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and may be traded on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the Company will inform the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of any such
redemption and will publish a notice regarding such redemption in a leading newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be d’Wort) or on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s website, www.bourse.lu.

 (c) At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the
Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section at least one Business Day prior to the date such notice is to be provided to Holders and such notice may not be canceled.

 SECTION 3.06. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with
Section 3.05, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice, except as provided in the final sentence of paragraph 5 of the Notes. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent,
such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest, to, but not including, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular record date and on or prior to
the interest payment date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice
to any other Holder. 
 SECTION 3.07. Deposit of Redemption Price. With respect to any Notes, prior to 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and
accrued interest on all Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the redemption date,
interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes to be redeemed.

 SECTION 3.08. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

 (iii) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event required to be therein
reported (and in any event within the time period specified for filing current reports on Form 8-K by the SEC), such other reports on Form 8-K (or any successor or comparable form), and 

(iv) any other information, documents and other reports which the Company would be required to file with the SEC if it
were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; 
 provided, however, that the Company shall not be so obligated to
file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Company shall make available such information to prospective purchasers of Notes, including by posting such reports on the primary website of the Company or
its Subsidiaries in addition to providing such information to the 

  
 51 








 
Trustee and the Holders, in each case within 15 days after the time the Company would be required to file such information with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act. 
 (b) In the event that: 
 (i) the rules and regulations of the SEC permit the Company and any direct or indirect parent of the Company to report at such parent entity’s level on a consolidated basis and such parent entity is
not engaged in any business in any material respect other than incidental to its ownership, directly or indirectly, of the Capital Stock of the Company, or 
 (ii) any direct or indirect parent of the Company becomes a Note Guarantor, 
 the Company shall be
permitted to satisfy its foregoing obligations with respect to financial information relating to the Company by furnishing financial information relating to such parent; provided that such financial information is accompanied by consolidating
information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company, the
Note Guarantors, if any, and the other Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. 
 (c) The Company shall, for so
long as any Notes remain outstanding during any period when it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise permitted to furnish the SEC with certain information pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act, furnish
to the Holders of the Notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and the Holders if the Company has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR
filing system and such reports are publicly available. 
 In addition, if and for so long as the Euro Notes are admitted to
listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trading on the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, copies of such reports and information furnished to the Trustee will also be made
available at the specified office of the Paying Agent in Luxembourg.

Indebtedness) or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock; and (ii) the Company shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Note Guarantor) to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the
Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock and any Restricted Subsidiary may issue shares of Preferred Stock, in each case if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
of the Company for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock
is issued would 

  
 52 








 
have been at least 2.00 to 1.00 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred, or the

when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock then outstanding that was Incurred pursuant to this clause (iv), does not exceed the greater of $150.0 million and 5.0% of Total Assets at
the time of Incurrence;

Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; 
 (vii) Indebtedness of the Company to a Restricted
Subsidiary; provided that any such Indebtedness owed to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Note Guarantor is subordinated in right of payment to the obligations of the Company under the Notes; provided, further, that any subsequent
issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Company or another Restricted
Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an Incurrence of such Indebtedness; 
 (viii) shares of
Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event that results in any Restricted Subsidiary that holds
such shares of Preferred Stock of another Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such shares of Preferred Stock (except to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in
each case, to be an issuance of shares of Preferred Stock;

Note Guarantor; provided, further, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event that results in any Restricted Subsidiary holding such Indebtedness ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other
subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an Incurrence of such Indebtedness;

Total Assets at the time of Incurrence (it being understood that any Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (xii) shall cease to be deemed Incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (xii) but shall be deemed Incurred for purposes
of Section 4.03(a) from and after the first date on which the Company, or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, could have Incurred such Indebtedness under Section 4.03(a) without reliance upon this clause (xii)); 

(xiii) any guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness or other obligations of the
Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries so long as the Incurrence of such Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Indenture; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its
express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, any such guarantee of such Note Guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to
such Note Guarantor’s Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable; 

(xiv) the Incurrence by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that serves to refund, refinance or defease any Indebtedness Incurred or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued as permitted under Section 4.03(a) and clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (xiv), (xv),
and/or (xx) of this Section 4.03(b) or any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock Incurred to so refund or refinance such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, including, in each case, any Indebtedness,

however, that such Refinancing Indebtedness: 
 (1) has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time
such Refinancing Indebtedness is Incurred which is not less than the shorter of (x) the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refunded or refinanced or defeased and
(y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity that would result if all payments of principal on the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock being refunded or refinanced that were due on or after the date one year following the maturity

 (3) to
the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (a) Indebtedness junior to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, such Refinancing Indebtedness is junior to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such

 (4) is Incurred in an aggregate principal amount (or if issued with original issue discount, an aggregate issue price) that is equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount (or if issued with
original issue discount, the aggregate accreted value) then outstanding of the Indebtedness being refinanced plus premium, expenses, costs and fees Incurred in connection with such refinancing; 

(5) shall not include (x) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Note Guarantor that refinances

Section 4.03(b), as applicable, and not this clause (xiv) for purposes of determining amounts outstanding under such clauses (iv) or (xx) of this Section 4.03(b);

after the Issue Date from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent entity of the Company (which proceeds are contributed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) or cash contributed to the capital of
the Company (in each case other than proceeds of Disqualified Stock or sales of Equity Interests to, or contributions received from, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), as determined in accordance with clauses (B) and (C) of the
definition of Cumulative Credit, to the extent such net cash proceeds or cash have not been applied pursuant to such clauses to make Restricted Payments or to make other Investments, payments or exchanges pursuant to Section 4.04(b) or to make
Permitted Investments (other than Permitted Investments specified in clauses (1) and (3) of the definition thereof);

other than for working capital purposes, when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and Incurred pursuant to this clause (xx), does not exceed the greater of $150.0 million and 5.0% of Total Assets at the
time of Incurrence (it being understood that any Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (xx) shall cease to be deemed Incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (xx) but shall be deemed Incurred for purposes of
Section 4.03(a) from and after the first date on which the Foreign Subsidiary could have Incurred such Indebtedness under Section 4.03(a), and the other provisions of this Indenture, without reliance upon this clause (xx)); 

(xxi) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of (x) the financing of insurance premiums

 (xxii) Indebtedness Incurred on behalf of, or representing guarantees of Indebtedness of, joint ventures of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary not in excess, at any one time outstanding, of $7.5
million; and 
 (xxiii) Indebtedness issued by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to current or former
officers, directors and employees thereof or any direct or indirect parent 

  
 57 








 
thereof, or their respective estates, spouses or former spouses, in each case to finance the purchase or redemption of Equity Interests of the Company or any of its direct or indirect parent
companies to the extent permitted pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 4.04(b). 
 For purposes of determining
compliance with this Section 4.03, (A) Indebtedness need not be Incurred solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xxiii) above or pursuant to Section 4.03(a) but is
permitted to be Incurred in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted
Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xxiii) above or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such
item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03 and will only be required to include the amount and type of such item of Indebtedness in one of the above clauses and such item of Indebtedness
will be treated as having been Incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to Section 4.03(a). Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form
of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Company, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or
liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (3) of the
definition of “Indebtedness” shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03. Note Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters
of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the
Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in
a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. Dollar
equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated
restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of
such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. 
 Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 4.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding
Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any 

  
 58 








 
Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate
applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 SECTION 4.04. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: 

(i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of the Company’s or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests, including any payment with respect to such Equity Interests made in connection with any merger, amalgamation or consolidation involving the Company (other than (A) dividends or distributions payable solely
in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company; or (B) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any Equity Interests issued by
a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its ownership percentage of such Equity
Interests); 
 (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Company or any
direct or indirect parent of the Company; 
 (iii) make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease
or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case prior to any scheduled repayment or scheduled maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Note Guarantors (other than the payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance,
acquisition or retirement of (A) Subordinated Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such payment, redemption, repurchase,
defeasance, acquisition or retirement and (B) Indebtedness permitted under clauses (vii) and (ix) of Section 4.03(b)); or 
 (iv) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless,
at the time of such Restricted Payment: 
 (1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as
a consequence thereof; 
 (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the
Company could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under Section 4.03(a); 
 (3) such Restricted Payment,
together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (i), (iv) (only to the extent of one-half of the
amounts paid pursuant to such clause), (vi) and (viii) of Section 4.04(b)), but excluding all other Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.04(b), is less than the amount equal to the Cumulative Credit. 

  
 59 








  
 (b) The
provisions of Section 4.04(a) shall not prohibit: 
 (i) the payment of any dividend or distribution within
60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (ii) (1) the redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of any Equity Interests (“Retired Capital Stock”) or Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company, any direct or indirect parent
of the Company or any Note Guarantor in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the substantially concurrent sale of Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company or contributions to the equity capital of the
Company (other than any Disqualified Stock or any Equity Interests sold to a Subsidiary of the Company) (collectively, including any such contributions, “Refunding Capital Stock”); and 

(2) the declaration and payment of dividends on the Retired Capital Stock out of the proceeds of the substantially
concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Refunding Capital Stock;

Note Guarantor that is Incurred in accordance with Section 4.03 so long as: 
 (1) the principal amount (or
accreted value, if applicable) of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable), plus any accrued and unpaid interest, of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased,
acquired or retired for value (plus the amount of any premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument governing the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired plus any tender premiums,
defeasance costs or other fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith), 
 (2) such Indebtedness is
subordinated to the Notes or the related Note Guarantees, as the case may be, at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value, 

(3) such Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity date equal to or later than the earlier of (x) the final
scheduled maturity date of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired and (y) 91 days following the maturity date of the Notes, and 

(4) such Indebtedness has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time Incurred which is not less than the shorter of
(x) the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity that would result if all


  
 60 








 
payments of principal on the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired that were due on or after the date one year following the maturity date of any
Notes then outstanding were instead due on such date one year following the maturity date of such Notes;

a Restricted Payment to pay for the redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition for value of Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company held by any future, present or former employee, director or
consultant of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or other agreement or
arrangement; provided, however, that the aggregate amounts paid under this clause (iv) do not exceed $15.0 million in any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year being permitted to be carried over for the two
succeeding calendar years; provided, further, however, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed: 
 (1) the cash proceeds received by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries from the sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the
Company (to the extent contributed to the Company) to members of management, directors or consultants of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent of the Company that occurs after the Issue Date (provided
that the amount of such cash proceeds utilized for any such repurchase, retirement, other acquisition or dividend shall not increase the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a)(iv)(4); plus 

(2) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the
Company (to the extent contributed to the Company) or the Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date; 
 provided that
the Company may elect to apply all or any portion of the aggregate increase contemplated by clauses (1) and (2) above in any calendar year and, to the extent any payment described under this clause (iv) is made by delivery of
Indebtedness and not in cash, such payment shall be deemed to occur only when, and to the extent, the obligor on such Indebtedness makes payments with respect to such Indebtedness; 

(v) the declaration and payment of dividends or distributions to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of
the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries issued or Incurred in accordance with Section 4.03; 

(vi) (a) the declaration and payment of dividends or distributions to holders of any class or series of Designated
Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) issued after the Issue Date, (b) a Restricted Payment to any direct or indirect parent of the Company, the proceeds of which will be used to fund the payment of dividends to holders of any class
or series of Designated Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of any direct or indirect parent of the Company issued after the Issue Date and (c) the declaration and payment of dividends on Refunding Capital Stock that is Preferred
Stock

four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Designated Preferred Stock or Refunding Capital Stock, after giving effect to such issuance (and the payment of
dividends or distributions) on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), the Company would have had a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.00 and (B) the aggregate amount of dividends
declared and paid pursuant to subclauses (a) and (b) of this clause (vi) does not exceed the net cash proceeds actually received by the Company from any such sale of Designated Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) issued
after the Issue Date; 
 (vii) Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries having an aggregate Fair Market Value,
taken together with all other Investments made pursuant to this clause (vii), that are at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $40.0 million and 1.0% of Total Assets at the time of such Investment (with the Fair Market Value of each

Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries paid such taxes directly as a stand-alone taxpayer (or stand-alone group);

(c) As of the Issue Date, all of the Company’s Subsidiaries shall be Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Momentive Performance
Materials (Nantong) Co., Ltd. The Company shall not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in
the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation shall only be permitted if a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the
definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 SECTION 4.05. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting
Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the

 64 








  
 (1)
contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Issue Date, including pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Agreement Documents and the Existing Notes and the guarantees thereof and the indentures relating thereto;

 (2) this Indenture and the Notes (and any Exchange Notes and guarantees thereof); 

(3) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order; 

(4) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary which was in
existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any
Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person or its Subsidiaries, so acquired; 

(5) contracts or agreements for the sale of assets, including any restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary
imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary pending the closing of such sale or disposition; 

(6) Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Sections 4.03 and 4.12 that limit the right of the

and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (c) above on the property subject to such lease;

Financing; provided, however, that such restrictions apply only to such Receivables Subsidiary; 

(12) other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (i) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company (x) that is Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03 and (y) in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Note Guarantor, an Officer reasonably determines in good faith that any such


  
 65 








 
encumbrance or restriction will not materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes, or (ii) that is Incurred by a
Foreign Subsidiary of the Company subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03; 
 (13) any
Restricted Investment not prohibited by Section 4.04 and any Permitted Investment; or

instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (13) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith
judgment of the Company, no more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase,
supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05,
(i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on
Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to
make loans or advances. 
 SECTION 4.06. Asset Sales. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless (x) the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as
determined in good faith by the Company) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and (y) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash
Equivalents; provided that the amount of: 
 (i) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such
Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the
transferee of any such assets, 
 (ii) any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received), and 

(iii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset
Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, 

  
 66 








 
taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of 3.0% of Total Assets and
$70.0 million at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in
value) shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Section 4.06(a). 
 (b) Within 365 days after the
Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option to any one or more of the following:

 (i) to repay (A)(1) prior to the Springing Lien Trigger Date, any Secured Indebtedness and (2) on or
following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, any First Priority Obligations (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), (B) Indebtedness of a Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Note Guarantor; (C) the Notes; or (D) Pari Passu Indebtedness (provided that if the Company or any Note Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under Pari Passu Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (D), the Company
shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided pursuant to Article III, through open market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) and/or by making an offer (in
accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, the pro rata
principal amount of the Notes), 
 (ii) to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that
if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or, if such Person is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in an increase
in the percentage ownership of such Person by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), assets, or property or capital expenditures, in each case used or useful in a Similar Business; or 

(iii) to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the
acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or, if such Person is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in an increase in the percentage ownership of such Person
by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), properties or assets that replace the properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale. 
 In the case of Sections 4.06(b)(ii) and (iii), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment; provided that in the event such
binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may satisfy its obligation as to any Net Proceeds by entering into another binding commitment within
nine 

  
 67 








 
months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment; provided, further that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may only enter into such a commitment
under the foregoing provision one time with respect to each Asset Sale. 
 Pending the final application of any such Net
Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from
any Asset Sale that are not applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of this Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described
in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b), shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0
million, the Company shall make an offer to all Holders of Notes (and, at the option of the Company, to holders of any Pari Passu Indebtedness) (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of (x) Dollar Notes, that
is at least $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000, and/or (y) Euro Notes, that is at least €100,000 and an integral multiple of €1,000 (and for each of (x) and (y), such Pari Passu Indebtedness), in each case that may be
purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event such Pari Passu Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value
thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of
such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.06. The Company shall commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million by
electronically delivering, or mailing by first class mail, the notice required pursuant to the terms of Section 4.06(f), with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) tendered
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable)
surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described in Section 4.06(e) . Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds
shall be reset at zero. 
 (c) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 

(d) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sale Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales pursuant to which such Asset Sale Offer is being made and (iii) the
compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(b) . On such date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a paying agent (or, if the 

  
 68 








 
Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds to be invested in Cash Equivalents, as directed in writing
by the Company, and to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.06. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company. The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each
tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price. In the event that the Excess Proceeds delivered by the Company to the Trustee are greater than the purchase price of the Notes tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Company
immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section 4.06. 
 (e) Holders
electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be
entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of
the Note which was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. If at the end of the Offer Period more Notes (and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) are tendered
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Company is required to purchase, the principal amount of Notes (and Pari Passu Indebtedness) to be purchased will be determined pro rata based on the principal amounts so tendered and the selection of the
actual Notes of each series for purchase will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable; provided that no Dollar Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part and no Euro Notes of €100,000 or less shall be
purchased in part. Selection of such Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be made pursuant to the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness. 
 (f) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be delivered electronically or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder of Notes
at such Holder’s registered address. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased. 

SECTION 4.07. Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of
transactions, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $7.5
million, unless: 
 (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the
Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unaffiliated Person; and 

  
 69 








  
 (ii)
with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, the Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board
of Directors of the Company approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above. 

(b) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to the following: 

(i) transactions between or among the Company and/or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (or an entity that becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction) and any merger, consolidation or amalgamation of the Company and any direct parent of the Company; provided that such parent shall have no material liabilities and no material assets
other than cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock of the Company and such merger, consolidation or amalgamation is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and effected for a bona fide business purpose; 

(ii) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.04 and Permitted Investments; 

(iii) (x) the entering into of any agreement (and any amendment or modification of any such agreement) to pay, and the
payment of, annual management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees and expenses to the Sponsors in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year not to exceed the greater of (A) $6.0 million and (B) 2.0% of EBITDA of the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries for the immediately preceding fiscal year, and out-of-pocket expense reimbursement; provided, however, that any payment not made in any fiscal year may be carried forward and paid in the following two fiscal years and
(y) the payment of the present value of all amounts payable pursuant to any agreement described in clause (iii)(x) of Section 4.07(b) in connection with the termination of such agreement; 

(iv) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursement of expenses paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf
of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any direct or indirect parent of the Company; 
 (v) payments by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to the Sponsors made for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking
activities, including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are (x) made pursuant to the agreements with the Sponsors described in the Offering Memorandum (including the documents incorporated
therein by reference) or (y) approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; 

(vi) transactions in which the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee
a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause (i) of Section 4.07(a); 

  
 70 








  
 (vii)

(viii) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under the terms of, any
agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than the
original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby as determined in good faith by senior management or the Board of Directors of the Company; 

(ix) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under
the terms of, Acquisition Documents, any stockholders agreement or investors rights agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date, and any agreement
described in the Offering Memorandum (including the documents incorporated therein by reference), and, in each case, any amendment thereto or similar agreements that it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence
of, or the performance by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by
this clause (ix) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or any such new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material
respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (x) the execution of the Transactions and

repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in this Section 4.08; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall not be obligated to purchase any Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08 in the event that the Company has exercised its right to redeem such Notes in
accordance with Article 3 of this Indenture. 
 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that
the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes by delivery of a notice of redemption in accordance with Article 3 of this Indenture, the Company shall electronically deliver or mail by first-class mail a notice (a “Change of Control
Offer”) to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating:

 72

purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 
 (g) At the time the Company
delivers Notes to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this
Section 4.08. A Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder. 

  
 73 








  
 (h) Prior to any
Change of Control Offer, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Company to make such offer have been complied with. 

(i) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.08, the Company shall comply
with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue thereof. 
 SECTION 4.09. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, beginning with the fiscal year end on
December 31, 2010, an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of the Company he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signer
knows of any Default that occurred during such period. If he or she does, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company also shall comply with
Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA. 
 SECTION 4.10. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the
Company shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 

SECTION 4.11. Future Note Guarantors. After the Issue Date, the Company shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic
Subsidiary (unless such Subsidiary is a (a) Receivables Subsidiary or (b) Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary) that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Note Guarantors to execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit D pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall guarantee the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and this Indenture. 

SECTION 4.12. Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) on any asset or property of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (i) that secures any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Permitted
Liens) unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of Subordinated Indebtedness) such Indebtedness so long as such Indebtedness is so secured and (ii) following the Springing Lien Trigger Date,
that secures any First Priority Obligation of the Company or any Note Guarantor without effectively providing that the Notes or the obligations of such Note Guarantor in respect of the Notes, as the case may be, shall be secured by a second-priority
security interest (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Permitted Liens) in such assets or property constituting the collateral for such First Priority Obligations (except with respect to Excluded Assets); provided, however, that if
granting such second-priority security interest requires the consent of a third party, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent with respect to the second-priority security interest for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holders of the Notes; provided further, however, that if such third party does not consent to the granting of such second-priority security interest after the


  
 74 








 
use of commercially reasonable efforts, the Company will not be required to provide such security interest. 
 Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally
released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.12, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Liens described in clauses (1) through (32) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or
pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets
the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Liens described in clauses (1) through (32) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.12, the Company shall, in its
sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.12 and will only be required to include the
amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien in one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness will be treated as being Incurred or existing
pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to the first paragraph hereof. 
 With respect to any Lien securing
Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any
Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional
Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Company, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation
preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (3) of the definition of
“Indebtedness”. 
 SECTION 4.13. After-Acquired Property. Following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, subject to
the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, if at any time the Company or any Note Guarantor owns any First Priority After-Acquired Property, the Company or such Note Guarantor shall, as promptly as practicable after such property is
acquired or such Subsidiary becomes a Note Guarantor, execute and deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, security instruments, financing statements and certificates or such other documentation as shall be reasonably necessary
to vest in the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee, a perfected Second Priority Lien, subject only to Permitted Liens, in such First Priority After-Acquired Property and to have such First Priority After-Acquired
Property added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such First Priority After-Acquired Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect; provided,
however, that if granting a security interest in such property, including property acquired in connection with an Asset Sale involving non-

  
 75 








 
cash consideration, requires the consent of a third party, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent with respect to such security interest in favor of the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee; provided further, however, that if such party does not consent to the granting of such security interest after the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, the applicable
entity will not be required to provide such security interest. 
 SECTION 4.14. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
(a) The Company shall maintain one or more offices or agencies where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be
served. If and for as long as the Euro Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and traded on the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the Company shall maintain an office or agency
in Luxembourg (which may be an office of the Luxembourg Paying Agent or its affiliates) where the Euro Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Euro
Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office
or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 13.02. 

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

(c) The Company hereby designates the corporate trust office of the Trustee or its Agent as such office or agency of the Company in
accordance with Section 2.04. 
 SECTION 4.15. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 4.16. [Reserved]. 
 SECTION 4.17. Suspension of Certain Covenants. (a) Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that: 

(1) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies, and the Company has delivered written
notice of such Investment Grade Ratings to the Trustee, and 
  

	 	(2)	no Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, 

 the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.11 and Section 5.01(a)(4) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In addition,
in such 

  
 76 








 
event, the Company may also elect to release any or all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees by electronically delivering or mailing by first-class mail a
notice of such election to the Collateral Agent. 
 (b) In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not
subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) (1) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws their Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the
rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating and/or (2) the Company or any of its Affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change of Control and one or more of the Rating Agencies
indicate that if consummated, such transaction (alone or together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes
below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events, including, without limitation, a proposed transaction
described in clause (b)(2) above, and any Collateral that was released from Liens securing the Notes and Note Guarantees as a result of the suspension of covenants, as well as any Collateral acquired since the Suspension Date, will be restored and
pledged to secure the Notes and Note Guarantees, as applicable. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to herein as the “Suspension Period.” 

(c) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a
result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period. During any Suspension Period, the Company shall not designate any Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless the Company would have been permitted to
designate such Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if a Suspension Period had not been in effect for any period. 
 (d)
On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or one of the clauses set forth in
Section 4.03(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would be permitted to be Incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred or issued prior to the
Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b), such
Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iii) . For purposes of Section 4.11, all Indebtedness Incurred,
or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date by any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Note Guarantor will be deemed to have been Incurred on the Reversion Date. Calculations
made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 shall be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly,
Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a) and the items specified in clauses (A) through (F) of the definition of “Cumulative
Credit” shall increase 

  
 77 








 
the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a) . For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.06 on the Reversion Date, the Net Proceeds from all
Asset Sales not applied in accordance with Section 4.06 shall be deemed to be reset to zero. 
 ARTICLE V 

Successor Company 
 SECTION 5.01. When Company May Merge or Transfer Assets. (a) The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up or convert into (whether or
not the Company is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless: 

(i) the Company is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger,
winding up or conversion (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the
laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (the Company or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”); provided that in the case where the
surviving Person is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation; 
 (ii) the Successor Company
(if other than the Company) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the
Successor Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; 
 (iv) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, as if such transaction had
occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the
Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), either 
 (1) the Successor Company would be
permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.03(a); or 
 (2) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the 

  
 78 








 
Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; and 
 (v) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures (if
any) comply with this Indenture. 
 The Successor Company (if other than the Company) shall succeed to, and be substituted for,
the Company under this Indenture and the Notes, and in such event the Company will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (iii) and (iv) of
this Section 5.01, (x) subject to the restrictions on Note Guarantors described in Section 5.01(b), any Restricted Subsidiary may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the
Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary, and (y) the Company may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another state of the United States, the District of
Columbia or any territory of the United States or may convert into a limited liability company, so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. This Article 5 will not apply to a sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.02(b) (which govern the release of a Note Guarantee upon the sale or disposition of a
Restricted Subsidiary that is a Note Guarantor), each Note Guarantor shall not, and the Company shall not permit any Note Guarantor to, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Note Guarantor is the
surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person unless: 

(i) either (A) such Note Guarantor is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than such Note Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized
or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Note Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Note Guarantor”) and the
Successor Note Guarantor (if other than such Note Guarantor) expressly assumes all the obligations of such Note Guarantor under this Indenture and such Note Guarantor’s Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documents or
instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, or (b) such sale or disposition or consolidation, amalgamation or merger is not in violation of Section 4.06; and 

(ii) the Successor Note Guarantor (if other than such Note Guarantor) shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to
the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture. 

  
 79 








  
 Except as otherwise
provided in this Indenture, the Successor Note Guarantor (if other than such Note Guarantor) will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Note Guarantor under this Indenture and such Note Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, and such Note Guarantor
will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and such Note Guarantor’s Note Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Note Guarantor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with an Affiliate
incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating such Note Guarantor in another state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Note Guarantor is not
increased thereby and (2) a Note Guarantor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with another Note Guarantor or the Company. 
 In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Note Guarantor may consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its properties or assets (collectively, a “Transfer”) to, (x) the Company or any Note Guarantor or (y) any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Note Guarantor; provided that at the time of each such
Transfer pursuant to clause (y) the aggregate amount of all such Transfers since the Issue Date shall not exceed 5.0% of Total Assets as shown on the most recent available balance sheet of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries after
giving effect to each such Transfer and including all Transfers occurring from and after the Issue Date. 
 ARTICLE VI

 Defaults and Remedies 
 SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if: 

(a) there is a default in any payment of interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Note when the same becomes due and payable,
and such default continues for a period of 30 days, 
 (b) there is a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, of
any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise, 

(c) the Company fails to comply with its obligations under Section 5.01, 

(d) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary fails to comply with any of its agreements contained in the Notes or this Indenture (other
than those referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below, 
 (e) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final
maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $35.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent, 

  
 80 








  
 (f) the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commences a voluntary
case; 
 (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 

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

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws
relating to insolvency, 
 (g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

 (i) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property; or

 (iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; 

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days, 

(h) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $35.0 million or its foreign currency
equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days following the entry thereof, 

(i) any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or
any Note Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or any Note Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days, 
 (j) following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, unless such Liens have been released in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture, the Second
Priority Liens with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral cease to be valid or enforceable, or the Company shall assert or any Note Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such
security interest is invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of any such Person that is a Subsidiary of the Company, the Company fails to cause such Subsidiary to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Company has actual knowledge of
such assertions, or 

  
 81 








  
 (k) following the
Springing Lien Trigger Date, the failure by the Company or any Note Guarantor to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements contained in the Security Documents except for a failure that would not be material to the holders of the
Notes and would not materially affect the value of the Collateral taken as a whole. 
 Each of the foregoing shall constitute an
Event of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body. 
 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar
Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 

A Default under clause (d) or (k) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least
25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company and the Trustee of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in clause (d) or (k) above after receipt of such notice. Such notice
must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form
of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which is, or with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f)
or (g) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes, by notice to the Company may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid
interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company occurs, the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. 

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

  
 82 








  
 SECTION 6.03. Other
Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to
enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Documents. 
 The Trustee may maintain a
proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative. 

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration,
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default
arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected.
When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any
consequent right. 
 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or
this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. (a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of
Default is continuing; 
 (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes make a
written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (iv) the Trustee
does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 

  
 83 








  
 (v) the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request during such 60-day period. 
 (b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 

SECTION 6.07. Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by
Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Notes for
the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07. 

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim, statements of interest and other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other
professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Note Guarantor, their creditors or their property, shall be entitled to participate as a
member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person
performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, if the Trustee or the
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6 (including proceeds from the exercise of any remedies on the Collateral), they shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 

FIRST: to the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and the Collateral Agent under Section 11.02;

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

  
 84 








  
 THIRD: the balance, if
any, to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, collects any amount for any Note Guarantor, to such Note Guarantor. 
 The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall deliver to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee,
a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses,
against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a
suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes. 
 SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
Neither the Company nor any Note Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each Note Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and
shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 

ARTICLE VII 

Trustee 

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

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

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee (it being agreed that the permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty); and 

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. The Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation as to any


  
 85 








 
statement contained in any such instance, but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statement or the correctness of such opinions. However, in the case of
certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;

 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it
is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05; and

by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. 
 (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA. 
 SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need
not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may
request that the Company and any Note Guarantor deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers (with specimen signatures) authorized at such times to take specific actions pursuant to this
Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 

  
 86 








  
 (c) The Trustee may
act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. 
 (d)
The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful
misconduct or negligence. 
 (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice or opinion of counsel
with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with
the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or
investigation. 
 (g) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this
Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might
be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and
benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(i) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith at the direction of the Holders of not less than
a majority in principal amount of the Notes as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee or the exercising of any power conferred by this Indenture. 

(j) Any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Trustee in good faith pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or
consent of any person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon future Holders of Notes and upon Notes executed and delivered in exchange therefor or
in place thereof. 
 (k) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of
any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective 

  
 87 








 
of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 (l) In the event the Company is required to pay Additional Interest, the Company will provide written notice to the Trustee of the Company’s obligation to pay Additional Interest no later than 15
days prior to the next interest payment date, which notice shall set forth the amount of the Additional Interest to be paid by the Company. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holders to determine whether the
Additional Interest is payable and the amount thereof. 
 SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like
rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
 SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The
Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, any Note Guarantee or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall
not be responsible for any statement of the Company or any Note Guarantor in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee
shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(c), (d), (e), (h), (i), (j) or (k) or of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual
knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof in accordance with Section 13.02 hereof from the Company, any Note Guarantor or any Holder. Delivery of reports to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03
hereof shall not constitute actual knowledge of, or notice to, the Trustee of the information contained therein. In accepting the trust hereby created, the Trustee acts solely as Trustee for the Holders of the Notes and not in its individual
capacity and all Persons, including without limitation the Holders of Notes and the Company having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Indenture shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder for payment except
as otherwise provided herein. 
 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is
actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee.
Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is
in the interests of the Holders. 
 SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to the Holders. As promptly as practicable after
each June 30 beginning with the June 30 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to June 30 in each year, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder a brief report dated as of such June 30 that complies with
Section 313(a) of the TIA if and to the extent required thereby. The Trustee shall also comply with Section 313(b) of the TIA. 

  
 88 








  
 A copy of each report
at the time of its delivery to the Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of
any delisting thereof. 
 SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Company and each Note Guarantor, jointly and severally shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or Note Guarantee against the Company or a Note Guarantor (including this
Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Note Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of
the Notes or the removal or resignation of the Trustee. The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or any Note Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the
defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Company and the Note Guarantors, as applicable shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay such
fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Note Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in
connection with such defense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 

To secure the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to
the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. 
 The Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture
under any Bankruptcy Law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in
Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law. 

  
 89 








  
 No provision of this
Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction. 
 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of
Trustee. (a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company
shall remove the Trustee if: 
 (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

(b) If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders
do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. 
 (c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the
Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of
its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07. 

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or
the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in Section 310(b) of the TIA, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a
Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets 

  
 90 








 
to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts
created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in
case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 
 SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the TIA. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at
least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA, subject to its right to apply for a stay of its duty to resign under the penultimate paragraph of
Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA any series of securities issued under this Indenture and any indenture or indentures under which
other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met. 

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

ARTICLE VIII 

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance 
 SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration or transfer or
exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when: 
 (a) either (i) all the
Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes pursuant to Section 2.08 that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company
and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all of the Notes (a) have become due and payable, (b) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity
within one year or (c) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the 

  
 91 








 
Trustee, in the case of the Dollar Notes, cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations or a combination thereof, and in the case of Euro Notes, cash in euros,
euro-denominated Government Obligations of any member nation of the European Union whose official currency is the euro, in each case or a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient in the written opinion of a firm of independent public accountants
delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations or euro-denominated Government Obligations have been so deposited) to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the
payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (b) the Company and/or the Note Guarantors have paid all other
sums payable under this Indenture; and 
 (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 
 Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Notes, this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) and the Security Documents
(“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13 and the operation of Section 5.01 and Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (with
respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.01(h), 6.01(i), 6.01(j) and 6.01(k) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Company may exercise its legal
defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Company terminates all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) by exercising its legal
defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Note Guarantor with respect to the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations. 

If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option with respect to the Notes, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (with
respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.01(h), 6.01(i), 6.01(j) or 6.01(k) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 5.01(a)(4).

 Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in
writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates. 
 (d) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and
(b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 7.07, 7.08 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Notes 

  
 92 








 
have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 

SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. (a) The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance
option only if: 
 (i) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee, in the case of the Dollar
Notes, cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations or a combination thereof, and in the case of the Euro Notes, euros, euro-denominated Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient or, in the
case of Government Obligations, the principal of and interest on which will be sufficient, to pay the principal of and premium (if any) and interest on the Notes when due at maturity or redemption, as the case may be, including interest thereon to
maturity or such redemption date; 
 (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally
recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations, in the case of the Dollar Notes,
or euro-denominated Government Obligations, in the case of the Euro Notes, plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest when due
on all the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (iii) 123 days pass after the deposit is made
and during the 123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 

(iv) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company; 

(v) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
stating that (1) the Company 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 will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required with respect to a legal defeasance need not
be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable; 

(vi) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit 

  
 93 








 
and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred;
and 
 (vii) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with. 
 (b) Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of such Notes at a future date in accordance with Article 3. 

SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money, U.S. Dollar-denominated Government
Obligations in the case of the Dollar Notes, or euro-denominated Government Obligations in the case of the Euro Notes (in each case, including proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the
money from U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations or euro-denominated Government Obligations through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes so discharged or
defeased. 
 SECTION 8.04. Repayment to Company. Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to
the Company upon request any money, U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations or euro-denominated Government Obligations, as applicable, held by it as provided in this Article which, in the written opinion of nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations or euro-denominated Government Obligations have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount
thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article. 
 Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that
remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 

SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such Government Obligations. 
 SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes so discharged or defeased shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or any 

  
 94 








 
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money, U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations or euro-denominated Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8;
provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on, any such Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to
receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE IX 

Amendments and Waivers 
 SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of the Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, the Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document without notice to or consent of
any Holder: 
 (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency; 

(ii) to comply with Article 5; 
 (iii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of

 (iv) to add a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes; 
 (v) to

(vii) to comply with any requirement of (A) the SEC in connection with qualifying or maintaining the qualification
of, this Indenture under the TIA or (B) the Intercreditor Agreement; 
 (viii) to make any change that does
not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or

 In addition, pursuant
to the Intercreditor Agreement, any amendment, waiver or consent to any of the collateral documents with respect to First Priority Obligations will also apply automatically to the comparable Security Documents with respect to the Notes. 

After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall electronically deliver or mail by first-class mail
to the respective Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders entitled to receive such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this
Section 9.01. 
 SECTION 9.02. With Consent of the Holders. (a) The Company and the Trustee may amend this
Indenture, the Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes) and any past Default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, no amendment may: 

(i) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, 

(ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note, 

(iii) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Note, 

(iv) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed in
accordance with Article 3, 
 (v) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in such Note, 

(vi) expressly subordinate the Notes or any Note Guarantees to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Note
Guarantor, 
 (vii) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes, 

(viii) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 or the second sentence of this Section 9.02, 

(ix) except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Indenture, modify any Note Guarantee in any manner adverse in any
material respect to the Holders, or 
 (x) make any change in the provisions in the Intercreditor Agreement or
this Indenture or, except as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, any material change in 

  
 96 








 
the provisions in the Security Documents, in each case dealing with the application of proceeds of Collateral upon the exercise of remedies with respect to such Collateral that would adversely
affect the Holders of the Notes. 
 In addition, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, without the consent of the
Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes), no amendment or waiver may, following the Springing Lien Trigger Date,
release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of this Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the Notes. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof. 
 After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to the
Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02. 

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every
amendment, waiver or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 
 SECTION 9.04.
Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. (a) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee
receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate from the Company certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it
shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Company or the Trustee of consents by the Holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to
effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Company and the Trustee. 

(b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their
consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date
(or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No
such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 

  
 97 








  
 SECTION 9.05.
Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Company may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note
regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights,
duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject
to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment,
supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Note Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including
Section 9.03) . 
 SECTION 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall,
directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the
Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

SECTION 9.08. Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount. All Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and
consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class and no Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal
amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article 9, Section 2.14 and Section 13.17. 
 ARTICLE X

SECTION 10.01. Relative Rights. Following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, the Intercreditor Agreement will define the relative

estate or the disposition of the case or proceeding.

 SECTION
11.04. Release of Collateral. 
 (a) Following the Springing Lien Trigger Date and subject to subsections (b) and
(c) of this Section 11.04, the Collateral may be released from the Second Priority Liens created by the Security Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the

from the Liens securing the Notes and Guarantees pursuant to Section 4.17. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of
Default under this Indenture exists on the date on which the First Priority Obligations are repaid in full and terminated (including all commitments and letters of credit thereunder), the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes
will not be released, except to the extent the Collateral or any portion thereof was disposed of in order to repay the First Priority Obligations secured by the Collateral, and thereafter the Trustee or another designated representative (acting at
the direction of the holders of a majority of outstanding principal amount of the Notes and Other Second Priority Obligations) will have the right to direct the First Priority Representative to foreclose upon the


  
 103








 
Collateral (but in such event, the Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes will be released when such Event of Default and all other Events of Default under this Indenture cease to exist).

 Upon the receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Company, as described in Section 11.04(b) below, if
applicable, and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Company, the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral

is being released have been delivered to the Collateral Agent on or prior to the date of such release. 
 (c) Following the
Springing Lien Trigger Date, at any time when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the Trustee has delivered a notice of
acceleration to the Collateral Agent, no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or the Security Documents will be effective as against the Holders, except as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement or, subject
to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, in connection with the exercise of remedies by the Collateral Agent. 
 SECTION
11.05. Filing, Recording and Opinions. (a) The Company will comply with the provisions of TIA Sections 314(b), 314(c) and 314(d), in each case following qualification of this Indenture pursuant to the TIA and except to the extent not

upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such certificate or opinion. The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Section 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate
statements contained in such documents and Opinion of Counsel. 
 Following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, if any Collateral
is released in accordance with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document and if the Company 

  
 104








 
has delivered the certificates and documents required by the Security Documents and Section 11.04, the Trustee will determine whether it has received all documentation required by TIA
Section 314(d) in connection with such release and, based on such determination and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 11.04, will, upon request, deliver a certificate to the Collateral Agent setting forth such
determination.

Company’s obligations under the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents, and all such obligations have been so satisfied, or (ii) a discharge, legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of this Indenture occurs under Article 8, the
Trustee shall deliver to the Company and the Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral, and any rights it has under the Security Documents,
and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and shall do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary to release such Lien as soon
as is reasonably practicable. 
 SECTION 11.08. Designations. Except as provided in the next sentence, for purposes of
the provisions hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement requiring the Company to designate Indebtedness for the purposes of the terms First Priority Obligations and Other Second Priority Obligations or any other such designations hereunder or under
the Intercreditor Agreement, any such designation shall be sufficient if the relevant designation provides in writing that such First Priority Obligations or Other Second Priority Obligations are permitted under this Indenture and is signed on
behalf of the Company by an Officer and delivered to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the First Priority Representative. For all purposes hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Company hereby designates the Obligations pursuant to the
Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date as First Priority Obligations. 
 SECTION 11.09. Amendment of Security
Documents. The Company will not amend, modify or supplement, or permit or consent to any amendment, modification or supplement of, the Security Documents in any way that would be adverse to the holders of the Notes in any material respect,

 ARTICLE XII 

Note Guarantees 
 SECTION 12.01. Note Guarantees. (a) Each Note Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees on a senior basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as a
surety, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption 

  
 105








 
or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company whether for fees, expenses,
indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Note Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or
renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Note Guarantor, and that each such Note Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 12 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

 (b) Each Note Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Note Guarantor waives notice of any Default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the
failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of
this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any Note Guarantor following the Springing Lien Trigger Date; (v) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any
other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Note Guarantor, except in each case as provided in Section 12.02(b). 
 (c) Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Note Guarantors, such that such Note Guarantor’s obligations would be
less than the full amount claimed. Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used and depleted as payment of the Company’s or such Note Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Note Guarantor hereunder. Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Company be sued prior to an action being initiated against such
Note Guarantor. 
 (d) Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment,
performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holders and the Trustee to any security held, following the Springing Lien
Trigger Date, for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (e) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 12.02 and
12.06, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be
subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the


  
 106








 
obligations of each Note Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any
remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or
delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Note Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

(f) Each Note Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed
Obligations. Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation
is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise. 
 (g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Note Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the
Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Note
Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed
Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee. 

(h) Each Note Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Note Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the
Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable
by such Note Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 12.01. 
 (i) Each Note Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 12.01. 
 (j) Upon request of the Trustee, each Note Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the
purpose of this Indenture. 

  
 107








  
 SECTION 12.02.
Limitation on Liability. (a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Note Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum
amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Note Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally. 
 (b) A Note Guarantee as to any Note Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Note
Guarantor shall be deemed to be released from all obligations under this Article 12 upon: 
 (i) the sale,
disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of the Capital Stock (including any sale, disposition or other transfer following which the applicable Note Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary) or all or
substantially all the assets of the applicable Note Guarantor if such sale, disposition or other transfer is made in compliance with this Indenture and such Note Guarantor is released from its guarantees, if any, of, and all pledges and security, if
any, granted in connection with, the Credit Agreement and any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Note Guarantor, 
 (ii) the Company designating such Note Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions set forth under Section 4.04 and the definition of “Unrestricted
Subsidiary,” 
 (iii) in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to
guarantee the Notes pursuant to Section 4.11, the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or the repayment of the Indebtedness, in each case, which resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Notes,
and 
 (iv) the Company’s exercise of its defeasance options under Article 8, or if the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 
 A Note Guarantee also shall
be automatically released upon the applicable Subsidiary ceasing to be a Subsidiary as a result of any foreclosure of any pledge or security interest securing Bank Indebtedness or other exercise of remedies in respect thereof. 

SECTION 12.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 12 shall be binding upon each Note Guarantor and its successors and assigns
and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture
and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 12.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 12 shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee 

  
 108








 
and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 12 at law, in equity, by statute or
otherwise. 
 SECTION 12.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 12, nor
the consent to any departure by any Note Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Note Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Note Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 

SECTION 12.06. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Note Guarantors. Each Subsidiary and other Person which is required
to become a Note Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary or other Person shall become a Note Guarantor under
this Article 12 and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate to the
effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary or other Person and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other
similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Note Guarantee of such Note Guarantor is a valid and binding obligation of such Note Guarantor,
enforceable against such Note Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

will give Holders of Euro Notes notice in another form, such as by electronic transmission or publication in Luxembourg on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu). 

(c) Failure to deliver a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other

(i) in a leading newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxembourg
Wort); 
 (ii) if such Luxembourg publication is not practicable, in one other leading English language
newspaper being published on each day in morning editions, whether or not it shall be published in Saturday, Sunday or holiday editions; or 
 (iii) on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s website (www.bourse.lu). 
 SECTION
13.03. Communication by the Holders with Other Holders. The Holders may communicate pursuant to Section 312(b) of the TIA with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The Company, the Trustee, the

(a) a statement that the individual making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition; 

(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in

in the opinion of such individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 

(d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such individual, such covenant or condition has been complied with;
provided, however, that with respect to matters of fact an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate or certificates of public officials. 
 SECTION 13.06. When Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company,
any Note Guarantor or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Note Guarantor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the
purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time
shall be considered in any such determination. 
 SECTION 13.07. Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The
Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of the Holders. The Registrar and a Paying Agent may make reasonable rules for their functions. 
 SECTION 13.08. Legal Holidays. If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on any amount that
would have been otherwise payable on such payment date if it were a Business Day for the intervening period. If a regular record date is not a Business Day, the record date shall not be affected.

Company or any Note Guarantor under the Notes, this Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver
and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
 SECTION 13.11. Successors. All agreements of the
Company and each Note Guarantor in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 

SECTION 13.12. Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an
original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. 

  
 112








  
 SECTION 13.13.
Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and
shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 13.14. Indenture Controls. If and to the
extent that any provision of the Notes limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of this Indenture, such provision of this Indenture shall control. 
 SECTION 13.15. Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby and such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability. 
 SECTION 13.16. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused by,
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and
interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services. 
 SECTION 13.17.
Currency Indemnity and Calculation of Euro-denominated Restrictions. 
 (a) The euro is the sole currency of account and
payment for all sums payable by the Company under or in connection with the Euro Notes including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than Euro, whether as a result of, or the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court
of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Company or otherwise, by any Holder of an Euro Note, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Paying Agent, Registrar and Notes Custodian for the
Euro Notes, or the Luxembourg Paying Agent in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Company will only constitute a discharge of the Company to the extent of the Euro amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so
received or recovered that other ordinary currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). 

(b) If that euro amount is less than the euro amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any Euro Note, the Trustee, the
Collateral Agent, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Paying Agent, Registrar and Notes Custodian for the Euro Notes, or the Luxembourg Paying Agent, the Company will indemnify them against any loss sustained by such recipient as a
result. In any event, the Company will indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this currency indemnity provision, it will be sufficient for the Holder of Euro Notes, the Trustee, the Collateral
Agent, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Paying Agent, Registrar and Notes Custodian for the Euro Notes, or the Luxembourg Paying Agent to certify in a satisfactory manner (indicating the sources of information used) that it would have
suffered a loss had an actual purchase of euro been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery 

  
 113








 
(or, if a purchase of euro on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable, it being required that the need for a change of date be certified in
the manner mentioned above). These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the Company’s other obligations, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective of any indulgence
granted by any Holder of Euro Notes, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Paying Agent, Registrar and Notes Custodian for the Euro Notes, or the Luxembourg Paying Agent and will continue in full force and
effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect to any sum due under any Euro Note, to the Holder of Euro Notes, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Paying
Agent, Registrar and Notes Custodian for the Euro Notes, or the Luxembourg Paying Agent. 
 (c) Except as otherwise specifically
set forth herein, for purposes of determining compliance with any euro-denominated restriction herein, the euro-equivalent amount for purposes hereof that is denominated in a non-euro currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency
exchange rate in effect on the date such non-euro amount is incurred or made, as the case may be.

Note”); 
 (ii) the Initial Sponsor Note (or any Private Exchange Note(s) issued in exchange therefor) may be transferred,
in whole or in part, only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and 

(iii) the Initial Sponsor Note (or any Private Exchange Note(s) issued in exchange therefor) may be exchanged, in whole or in part, for a
beneficial interest in a Global Note or an Exchange Note, as applicable, in which other beneficial interests exist, only if the portion of such Initial Sponsor Note that is being exchanged (a) is being transferred pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, (b) has not been owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company during the six month period preceding such exchange, (c) is being transferred in connection with a transfer pursuant to
Rule 144, subject to receipt by the Trustee of such documentation as it shall reasonably request pursuant to the Indenture or (d) in the 

  
 Appendix A-16








 
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, the beneficial owner can hold a beneficial interest in the Global Note or Exchange Note, as applicable, in which other beneficial interests exist
without adversely affecting the ability of beneficial owners of interests in the Global Note or Exchange Note that are not Affiliates of the Issuers to transfer such interests pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant any other exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
 If requested by one of the Sponsors, the Company and the Note Guarantors
will use commercially reasonable efforts to exchange the Initial Sponsor Note(s) (or any Private Exchange Note(s) issued in exchange therefor) issued as a Definitive Note in physical form for a new global security (with its own CUSIP/ISIN number)
registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a nominee thereof and otherwise subject to the same rights and restrictions on transfer or exchange as the Initial Sponsor Note(s) (or any Private Exchange Note(s) issued in
exchange therefor), and will use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions that may be necessary, and execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably required, to deposit such global security in the DTC clearing system (including,
without limitation, delivering to DTC a letter of representations in DTC’s standard form). In no event shall such exchange be effected unless (i) suitable provisions shall have been made to ensure that the holders of such Initial Sponsor
Note (or any Private Exchange Note(s) issued in exchange therefor) shall be, immediately after such exchange, the beneficial owners of such global security (it being understood that, thereafter, the term “holders” as used herein shall
refer to such beneficial owners and their successors and assigns hereunder) and (ii) such exchange shall not violate any applicable law.

	1.	Interest 

 (a) Momentive
Performance Materials Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Dollar Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2011. Interest on the Dollar Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from November 5, 2010 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Dollar Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

(b) The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. As more fully set forth therein, the
Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company will pay Additional Interest to each Holder under certain circumstances. All accrued Additional Interest shall be paid to Holders in the same manner as interest payments on the Notes on
semi-annual payment dates that correspond to interest payment dates for the Notes. All references in this Note for the payment of interest shall be deemed to include any Additional Interest payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of the amount of any such Additional Interest. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

 The
Company shall pay interest on the Dollar Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Dollar Notes are
canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender Dollar Notes to the Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and
interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Dollar Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and
interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Dollar Note (including
principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however,
that payments on the Dollar Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Dollar Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such
Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee
may accept in its discretion). 

  
 A-1-7








  

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

 Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying
Agent or Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture 

 The Company
issued the Dollar Notes under an Indenture dated as of November 5, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Note Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent. The terms of the Dollar Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined
herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Dollar Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such
terms and provisions. 
 Prior to the Springing Lien Trigger Date, the Dollar Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the
Company. Following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, the Dollar Notes will be senior secured obligations of the Company. This Dollar Note is one of the Initial Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Dollar Notes and any
Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Initial Dollar Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Dollar Notes (including any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) and the Euro Notes issued under the Indenture (including any Exchange Notes issued
in exchange therefor) are separate series of Notes but will be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture, except as otherwise stated therein. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and
distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of Capital Stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The
Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Note Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property. 

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Dollar Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company
under the Indenture and the Dollar Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Dollar Notes and the Indenture, the Note Guarantors have, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior secured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
  

	5.	Optional Redemption 


Except as set forth in the following two paragraphs, the Dollar Notes shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to
January 15, 2016. Thereafter, the Dollar Notes 

  
 A-1-8








 
shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered electronically or
mailed by first-class mail to each Dollar Notes Holder’s registered address, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, to the
redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on January 15 of the years set forth
below: 
  

			
	 Year
	  	Redemption Price
	 2016
	  	104.500%
	 2017
	  	103.000%
	 2018
	  	101.500%
	 2019 and thereafter
	  	100.000%

 In addition, prior to
January 15, 2016, the Company may redeem the Dollar Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail to
each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Dollar Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, the applicable
redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time on or prior to January 15, 2014, the Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the
Dollar Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Dollar Notes), with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (1) by the Company or (2) by any direct or indirect parent of the Company, in each case,
to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of the Company or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company from it, at a redemption price equal to 109.0% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date); provided, however, that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Dollar Notes after the Issue Date) must remain outstanding after each such
redemption; and provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 90 days after the date on which any such Equity Offering is consummated upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice electronically delivered or mailed to each
Holder of Dollar Notes being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may,
at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related Equity Offering. 
  

	6.	Sinking Fund 

 The Dollar
Notes are not subject to any sinking fund. 

  
 A-1-9








  

	7.	Notice of Redemption 


Notice of redemption will be delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of Dollar Notes to be redeemed at his, her or its registered address. Dollar Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Dollar Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and
after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Dollar Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
  

	8.	Repurchase of Dollar Notes at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Sales 


Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture,
to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Dollar Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the
right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 

In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase Dollar Notes upon the occurrence
of certain events. 
  

	9.	Ranking and Collateral 


The indebtedness evidenced by the Dollar Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees, respectively, is senior Indebtedness of the Company
and Note Guarantors, respectively, ranks (i) equal in right of payment with all existing and future Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Company and Note Guarantors, as applicable, (ii) senior in right of payment to all existing and future
Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company and Note Guarantors and (iii) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes. Prior to the Springing Lien Trigger
Date, the Dollar Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees are unsecured obligations of the Company and the Note Guarantors, respectively, and are effectively subordinated to all existing and future Secured Indebtedness of the Company and the Note
Guarantors, as applicable, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness. Following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, the Dollar Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees will have the benefit of a second-priority security
interest on the Collateral that, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, will be (i) junior in priority and subordinated to the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations, (ii) pari passu in priority to Liens securing the Other Second
Priority Obligations, (iii) senior to any senior unsecured obligations (to the extent of the value of the Collateral) and (iv) senior to the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness, and is
further subject to Permitted Liens and the exceptions provided in the Security Documents. 

  
 A-1-10








  

	10.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

 The Dollar Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Dollar Notes in accordance
with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Dollar Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Dollar Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Dollar Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any
Dollar Notes for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Dollar Notes to be redeemed. 
  

	11.	Persons Deemed Owners 


The registered Holder of this Dollar Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

 

	12.	Unclaimed Money 

 If
money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such
payment, the Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 

 

	13.	Discharge and Defeasance 


Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Dollar Notes and the
Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations or a combination thereof for the payment of principal and interest on the Dollar Notes to redemption or maturity, as the
case may be. 
  

	14.	Amendment; Waiver 


Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture, Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security
Documents may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (voting as a single class) (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
for the Notes) and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which consents may be obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture, Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security
Document (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that
the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated 

  
 A-1-11








 
Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); (iv) to add Note Guarantees with respect to the Notes; (v) to secure the Notes, to add additional asset as Collateral, to
release Collateral as permitted under the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, to add additional secured creditors holding Other Second Priority Obligations or additional First Priority Obligations so long as such
obligations are not prohibited by the Indenture or the Security Documents; (vi) to add additional covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (vii) to comply with the
requirements of (A) the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or (B) the Intercreditor Agreement; (viii) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or
(ix) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Notes or Additional Notes. 
 Without the consent of the Holders of at
least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes), no amendment or waiver may release all or substantially all of the Collateral
from the Lien of the Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the Notes, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
  

	15.	Defaults and Remedies 


If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of
the Company) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all
the Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes
and its consequences. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions
are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such Holder has previously given the

	1.	Interest 

 (a) Momentive
Performance Materials Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Euro Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2011. Interest on the Euro Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from November 5, 2010 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The
Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Euro Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

(b) The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. As more fully set forth therein, the
Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company will pay Additional Interest to each Holder under certain circumstances. All accrued Additional Interest shall be paid to Holders in the same manner as interest payments on the Notes on
semi-annual payment dates that correspond to interest payment dates for the Notes. All references in this Note for the payment of interest shall be deemed to include any Additional Interest payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of the amount of any such Additional Interest. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

 The
Company shall pay interest on the Euro Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Euro Notes are canceled
after the record date and on or before the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender Euro Notes to the Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in
euros or such other lawful currency of the participating member states in the Third Stage of European Economics and Monetary Union at the Treaty Establishing the European Community that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public
and private debts. Payments in respect of the Euro Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or
Holders thereof. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Euro Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be
made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof. 
  

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

 Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar in accordance with the terms of the Paying
Agency Agreement between the Company and The Bank of New 

  
 A-2-7








 
York Mellon. If and for so long as the Euro Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Company will also maintain a paying agent in Luxembourg. The Company or any
of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture 

 The Company
issued the Euro Notes under an Indenture dated as of November 5, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Note Guarantors, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee”) and the Collateral
Agent. The terms of the Euro Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the
“TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Euro Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are
referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. 
 Prior to the Springing Lien Trigger Date,
the Euro Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, the Euro Notes will be senior secured obligations of the Company. This Euro Note is one of the Initial Euro Notes referred to in the
Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Euro Notes and any Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Initial Euro Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Euro Notes (including any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) and the Dollar Notes issued
under the Indenture (including any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) are separate series of Notes but will be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture, except as otherwise stated therein. The Indenture imposes certain
limitations on the ability of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions
upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of Capital Stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or
incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Note Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its
property. 
 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Euro Notes and all other amounts
payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Euro Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Euro Notes and the Indenture, the Note Guarantors have,
jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior secured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture,
to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Euro Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right
of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 

In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase Euro Notes upon the occurrence
of certain events. 
  

	9.	Ranking and Collateral 


The indebtedness evidenced by the Euro Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees, respectively, is senior Indebtedness of the Company and
Note Guarantors, respectively, ranks (i) equal in right of payment with all existing and future Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Company and Note Guarantors, as applicable, (ii) senior in right of payment to all existing and future
Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company and Note Guarantors and (iii) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes. Prior to the Springing Lien Trigger
Date, the Euro Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees are unsecured obligations of the Company and the Note Guarantors, respectively, and are effectively subordinated to all existing and future Secured Indebtedness of the Company and the Note
Guarantors, as applicable, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness. Following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, the Euro Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees will have the benefit of a second-priority security interest
on the Collateral that, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, will be (i) junior in priority and subordinated to the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations, (ii) pari passu in priority to Liens securing the Other Second Priority
Obligations, (iii) senior to any senior unsecured obligations (to the extent of the value of the Collateral) and (iv) senior to the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness, and is further
subject to Permitted Liens and the exceptions provided in the Security Documents. 
  

	10.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 


  
 A-2-10








  
 The Euro Notes are in
registered form, without coupons, in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Euro Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the
Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or
exchange any Euro Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of an Euro Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Euro Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Euro Notes for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of
Euro Notes to be redeemed. 
  

	11.	Persons Deemed Owners 


The registered Holder of this Euro Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

 

	12.	Unclaimed Money 

 If
money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such
payment, the Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 

 

	13.	Discharge and Defeasance 


Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Euro Notes and the
Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee cash in euros or euro-denominated Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Euro Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 

 

	14.	Amendment; Waiver 


Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture, Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security
Documents may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (voting as a single class) (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
for the Notes) and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which consents may be obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture, Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security
Document (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that
the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); (iv) to add Note Guarantees with
respect to the Notes; (v) to secure the Notes, to add additional asset as Collateral, to release Collateral as permitted under the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, to add additional secured creditors holding
Other Second Priority Obligations or 

  
 A-2-11








 
additional First Priority Obligations so long as such obligations are not prohibited by the Indenture or the Security Documents; (vi) to add additional covenants of the Company for the
benefit of the Holders or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (vii) to comply with the requirements of (A) the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or (B) the
Intercreditor Agreement; (viii) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or (ix) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Notes or Additional Notes. 

Without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (which consents may be
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes), no amendment or waiver may release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of the Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the Notes, subject to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
  

	15.	Defaults and Remedies 


If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of
the Company) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all
the Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes
and its consequences. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions
are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such Holder has previously given the
Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and
(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under


  
 A-2-12








 
the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 

 

	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

 Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Euro Notes and may otherwise deal with and
collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

 

	17.	No Recourse Against Others 

 No affiliate, director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator or holder of any Equity Interests in the Company or of any Note Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent corporation, as such, shall have
any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Note Guarantors under the Euro Notes, the Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Euro Notes by accepting an
Euro Note waives and releases all such liability. 
  

	18.	Authentication 

 This
Euro Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Euro Note. 

 

	19.	Abbreviations 

 Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and
U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 
  

	20.	Governing Law 

 THIS
EURO NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE
OF EXCHANGE NOTE OR PRIVATE EXCHANGE NOTE 
 FOR DOLLAR NOTES] 

9.0% Second-Priority Springing Lien Notes due 2021 
  

	1.	Interest 

 (a) Momentive
Performance Materials Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Dollar Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2011. Interest on the Dollar Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from November 5, 2010 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Dollar Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

(b) The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. As more fully set forth therein, the
Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company will pay Additional Interest to each Holder under certain circumstances. All accrued Additional Interest shall be paid to Holders in the same manner as interest payments on the Notes on
semi-annual payment dates that correspond to interest payment dates for the Notes. All references in this Note for the payment of interest shall be deemed to include any Additional Interest payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of the amount of any such Additional Interest. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

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

  
 B-1-5








 
account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 

 

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

 Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying
Agent or Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture 

 The Company
issued the Dollar Notes under an Indenture dated as of November 5, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Dollar Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part
of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Indenture. The Dollar Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. 

Prior to the Springing Lien Trigger Date, the Dollar Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Following the Springing Lien
Trigger Date, the Dollar Notes will be senior secured obligations of the Company. This Dollar Note is one of the Initial Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes and any Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the
Initial Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Dollar Notes (including any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) and the Euro Notes issued under the Indenture (including any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) are separate series of
Notes but will be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture, except as otherwise stated therein. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make
certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell
shares of Capital Stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and
each Note Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property. 
 To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Dollar Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Dollar Notes when and as the same shall
be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Dollar Notes and the Indenture, the Note Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior
secured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 

  
 B-1-6








  

	5.	Optional Redemption 


Except as set forth in the following two paragraphs, the Dollar Notes shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to
January 15, 2016. Thereafter, the Dollar Notes shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered electronically or
mailed by first-class mail to each Dollar Notes Holder’s registered address, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, to the
redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on December 15 of the years set forth
below: 
  

			
	 Year
	  	Redemption Price

	 2017
	  	103.000%
	 2018
	  	101.500%
	 2019 and thereafter
	  	100.000%

 In addition, prior to
January 15, 2016, the Company may redeem the Dollar Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail to
each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Dollar Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, the applicable
redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time on or prior to January 15, 2014, the Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the
Dollar Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Dollar Notes), with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (1) by the Company or (2) by any direct or indirect parent of the Company, in each case,
to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of the Company or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company from it, at a redemption price equal to 109.0% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment

Holder of Dollar Notes being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may,

	6.	Sinking Fund 

 The Dollar
Notes are not subject to any sinking fund. 
  

	7.	Notice of Redemption 


Notice of redemption will be delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of Dollar Notes to be redeemed at his, her or its registered address. Dollar Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Dollar Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and
after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Dollar Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
  

	8.	Repurchase of Dollar Notes at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Sales 


Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture,
to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Dollar Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the
right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

of certain events. 
  

	9.	Ranking and Collateral 


The indebtedness evidenced by the Dollar Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees, respectively, is senior Indebtedness of the Company
and Note Guarantors, respectively, ranks (i) equal in right of payment with all existing and future Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Company and Note Guarantors, as applicable, (ii) senior in right of payment to all existing and future
Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company and Note Guarantors and (iii) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes. Prior to the Springing Lien Trigger
Date, the Dollar Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees are unsecured obligations of the Company and the Note Guarantors, respectively, and are effectively subordinated to all existing and future Secured Indebtedness of the Company and the Note
Guarantors, as applicable, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness. Following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, the Dollar Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees will have the benefit of a second-priority security
interest on the Collateral that, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, will be (i) junior in priority and subordinated to the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations, (ii) pari passu in priority to Liens securing the Other Second
Priority Obligations, (iii) senior to any senior unsecured obligations (to the extent of the value of the Collateral) and (iv) senior to the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness, and is
further subject to Permitted Liens and the exceptions provided in the Security Documents.

The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Dollar Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Dollar Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Dollar Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any
Dollar Notes for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Dollar Notes to be redeemed. 
  

	11.	Persons Deemed Owners 


The registered Holder of this Dollar Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

 

	12.	Unclaimed Money 

 If
money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such
payment, the Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 

 

	13.	Discharge and Defeasance 


Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Dollar Notes and the
Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations or a combination thereof for the payment of principal and interest on the Dollar Notes to redemption or maturity, as the
case may be. 
  

	14.	Amendment; Waiver 


Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture, Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security
Documents may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (voting as a single class) (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
for the Notes) and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which consents may be obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture, Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security
Document (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that
the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated 

  
 B-1-9








 
Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); (iv) to add Note Guarantees with respect to the Notes; (v) to secure the Notes, to add additional asset as Collateral, to
release Collateral as permitted under the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, to add additional secured creditors holding Other Second Priority Obligations or additional First Priority Obligations so long as such
obligations are not prohibited by the Indenture or the Security Documents; (vi) to add additional covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (vii) to comply with the
requirements of (A) the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or (B) the Intercreditor Agreement; (viii) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or
(ix) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Notes or Additional Notes. 
 Without the consent of the Holders of at
least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes), no amendment or waiver may release all or substantially all of the Collateral
from the Lien of the Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the Notes, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
  

	15.	Defaults and Remedies 


If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of
the Company) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all
the Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes
and its consequences. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions
are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such Holder has previously given the
Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and
(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred


  
 B-1-10








 
on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other
Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by
taking or not taking such action. 
  

	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

 Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Dollar Notes and may otherwise deal with and
collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

 

	17.	No Recourse Against Others 

 No affiliate, director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator or holder of any Equity Interests in the Company or of any Note Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent corporation, as such, shall have
any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Note Guarantors under the Dollar Notes, the Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Dollar Notes by accepting a
Dollar Note waives and releases all such liability.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE
OF EXCHANGE NOTE OR PRIVATE EXCHANGE NOTE FOR EURO NOTES] 
 9.5% Second-Priority Springing Lien Notes due 2021 

	1.	Interest 

 (a) Momentive
Performance Materials Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Euro Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2011. Interest on the Euro Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from November 5, 2010 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The
Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Euro Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

(b) The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. As more fully set forth therein, the
Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company will pay Additional Interest to each Holder under certain circumstances. All accrued Additional Interest shall be paid to Holders in the same manner as interest payments on the Notes on
semi-annual payment dates that correspond to interest payment dates for the Notes. All references in this Note for the payment of interest shall be deemed to include any Additional Interest payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of the amount of any such Additional Interest. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

 The
Company shall pay interest on the Euro Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Euro Notes are canceled
after the record date and on or before the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender Euro Notes to the Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in
euros or such other lawful currency of the participating member states in the Third Stage of European Economics and Monetary Union at the Treaty Establishing the European Community that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public
and private debts. Payments in respect of the Euro Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or
Holders thereof. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Euro Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be
made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof. 

  
 B-2-5








  

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

 Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar in accordance with the terms of the Paying
Agency Agreement between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon. If and for so long as the Euro Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Company will also maintain a paying agent in Luxembourg. The Company or
any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture 

 The Company
issued the Euro Notes under an Indenture dated as of November 5, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Note Guarantors, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee”) and the Collateral
Agent. The terms of the Euro Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the
“TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Euro Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are
referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. 
 Prior to the Springing Lien Trigger Date,
the Euro Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, the Euro Notes will be senior secured obligations of the Company. This Euro Note is one of the Initial Notes referred to in the Indenture. The
Notes include the Initial Notes and any Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Initial Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Euro Notes (including any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) and the Dollar Notes issued under the Indenture
(including any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) are separate series of Notes but will be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture, except as otherwise stated therein. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the
ability of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of
certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of Capital Stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make
Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Note Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property. 

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Euro Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company
under the Indenture and the Euro Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Euro Notes and the Indenture, the Note Guarantors have, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior secured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 

  
 B-2-6








  

	5.	Optional Redemption 


Except as set forth in the following two paragraphs, the Euro Notes shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to
January 15, 2016. Thereafter, the Euro Notes shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered electronically or mailed
by first-class mail to each Euro Notes Holder’s registered address, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption
date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on January 15 of the years set forth below:

  

			
	 Year
	  	Redemption Price

	 2017
	  	103.167%
	 2018
	  	101.583%
	 2019 and thereafter
	  	100.000%

 In addition, prior to
January 15, 2016, the Company may redeem the Euro Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail to
each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Euro Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, the applicable
redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time on or prior to January 15, 2014, the Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the
Euro Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Euro Notes), with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (1) by the Company or (2) by any direct or indirect parent of the Company, in each case, to
the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of the Company or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company from it, at a redemption price equal to 109.5% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date); provided, however, that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Euro Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Euro Notes after the Issue Date) must remain outstanding after each such
redemption; and provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 90 days after the date on which any such Equity Offering is consummated upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice electronically delivered or mailed to each
Holder of Euro Notes being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at
the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related Equity Offering. 

  
 B-2-7








  

	6.	Sinking Fund 

 The Euro
Notes are not subject to any sinking fund. 
  

	7.	Notice of Redemption 


Notice of redemption will be delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of Euro Notes to be redeemed at his, her or its registered address. Euro Notes in denominations larger than €100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of €1,000. If money sufficient to pay
the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Euro Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on
and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Euro Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 
  

	8.	Repurchase of Euro Notes at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Sales 


Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture,
to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Euro Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right
of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 

In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase Euro Notes upon the occurrence
of certain events. 
  

	9.	Ranking and Collateral 


The indebtedness evidenced by the Euro Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees, respectively, is senior Indebtedness of the Company and
Note Guarantors, respectively, ranks (i) equal in right of payment with all existing and future Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Company and Note Guarantors, as applicable, (ii) senior in right of payment to all existing and future
Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company and Note Guarantors and (iii) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes. Prior to the Springing Lien Trigger
Date, the Euro Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees are unsecured obligations of the Company and the Note Guarantors, respectively, and are effectively subordinated to all existing and future Secured Indebtedness of the Company and the Note
Guarantors, as applicable, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness. Following the Springing Lien Trigger Date, the Euro Notes and the applicable Note Guarantees will have the benefit of a second-priority security interest
on the Collateral that, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, will be (i) junior in priority and subordinated to the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations, (ii) pari passu in priority to Liens securing the Other Second Priority
Obligations, (iii) senior to any senior unsecured obligations (to the extent of the value of the Collateral) and (iv) senior to the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness, and is further
subject to Permitted Liens and the exceptions provided in the Security Documents.

	10.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

 The Euro Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Euro Notes in
accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the
Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Euro Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of an Euro Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Euro Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange
any Euro Notes for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Euro Notes to be redeemed. 
  

	11.	Persons Deemed Owners 


The registered Holder of this Euro Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

 

	12.	Unclaimed Money 

 If
money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such
payment, the Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies. 

 

	13.	Discharge and Defeasance 


Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Euro Notes and the
Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee cash in euros or euro-denominated Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Euro Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 

 

	14.	Amendment; Waiver 


Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture, Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security
Documents may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (voting as a single class) (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
for the Notes) and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which consents may be obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture, Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security
Document (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that
the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); (iv) to add Note Guarantees with
respect to the Notes; (v) to secure the Notes, to add additional asset as Collateral, to release 

  
 B-2-9








 
Collateral as permitted under the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, to add additional secured creditors holding Other Second Priority Obligations or additional
First Priority Obligations so long as such obligations are not prohibited by the Indenture or the Security Documents; (vi) to add additional covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender rights and powers conferred on
the Company; (vii) to comply with the requirements of (A) the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or (B) the Intercreditor Agreement; (viii) to make any change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or (ix) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Notes or Additional Notes. 

Without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (which consents may be
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes), no amendment or waiver may release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of the Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the Notes, subject to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
  

	15.	Defaults and Remedies 


If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of
the Company) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all
the Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes
and its consequences. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions
are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such Holder has previously given the
Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and
(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other 

  
 B-2-10








 
Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole
discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
  

	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Company 

 Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Euro Notes and may otherwise deal with and
collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

 

	17.	No Recourse Against Others 

 No affiliate, director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator or holder of any Equity Interests in the Company or of any Note Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent corporation, as such, shall have
any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Note Guarantors under the Euro Notes, the Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Euro Notes by accepting an
Euro Note waives and releases all such liability. 
  

	18.	Authentication 

 This
Euro Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Euro Note. 

 

	19.	Abbreviations 

 Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and
U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 
  

	20.	Governing Law 

 THIS
EURO NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. 
  

	21.	Common Code; ISINs 

 The
Company has caused the Common Code and ISINs to be printed on the Euro Notes and has directed the Trustee to use the Common Code and ISINs in notices of redemption as a convenience to the Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such

 The undersigned
represents and warrants to you that: 
 1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),
(2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $100,000 principal amount
of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic
risk of our or its investment. 
 2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless
so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that
is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which either the Company or any affiliate of such Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”)
only (a) in the United States to a person whom we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (b) outside the United
States in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (c) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if applicable) or (d) pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each 

  
 C-1








 
of cases (a) through (d) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. In addition, we will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any
purchaser of the Note evidenced hereby of the resale restrictions set forth above. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to
be made to an institutional “accredited investor” prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which
shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment
purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the
Notes pursuant to clause 1(b), 1(c) or 1(d) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
